Is that I can get this song stuck in your head, too:
Quack, quack, quack, quack... Cock-a-doodle Doo!
Quack, quack, quack, quack... Cock-a-doodle Doo!
Quack, quack, quack... a doodly-doo!

Lakers, Dead or Alive?
So, the Lakers are one month into the Solo Kobe Era, and they are a
respectable 8-6, tied for the 8th playoff spot. So maybe the
predictions of doom and gloom were misplaced.
Or were they...
The list of teams the Lakers have beaten: Denver, Atlanta, New
Orleans, Houston, Clippers, Chicago, Milwaukee and New Orleans. Um,
yuck.
A conspiracy theory buff would almost think that the Lakers were
given a soft early schedule to keep their luster alive as long as
possible. This person would also probably point to the Lakers'
April schedule to solidify his theory.
Thankfully there are no conspiracy theorists here.

Dear God
While I completely enjoy my current career path, every once in a
while something comes up that makes me feel a bit misplaced.
I brought Kelson to an ECFE class, where the last half hour the
parents leave the children (I think there's an adult in the room with
them) and have some discussion time. Yesterday a kind parent brought
in Krispy Kreme donuts, so life was good.
We were talking about discipline, and a mother next to me said
something like this: "I have this book by Blair, from The Facts of
Life, and she said that if your child says a naughty word, you go
to the bathroom with two glasses. Take one glass and rinse it out in
the sink, and take the other glass and rinse it out with water from
the toilet. Then take the glasses to the kitchen and fill them with
milk. Ask your child, 'Which glass do you want to drink out of?' Tell
them that just like you don't want to drink from a dirty glass, Jesus
doesn't want to hear dirty words, and you need to keep your mouth
clean, by only using good words. This is such a great book; she has
such amazing ideas. That Blair, she's a thinker, she really is."
There were so many things to say right then... most of which would
have gotten me permanantly ostracized from the group. I just continued
to eat my donuts.
Anyway, if you're interested in the book, I found it. Check out
Welchel's Creative Correction for all the amazing
details.

I hate Yasser Arafat
Couldn't the old coot have waited an extra five minutes to die?
So I'm watching the hit new CBS drama, CSI:NY, and they get
to the part of the show where the prime suspect is in custody, and
they begin to piece together the clues they've uncovered (due to their
amazing forensic skills). "OK, we know you were at the shop, and we
know how you got in..."
And then what happens is that we get to find out all the details.
We get to hear how the crime went down. Does the suspect admit to it?
Was he working with someone, and that person started killing people?
Was it supposed to be a fun time that went horribly, horribly
wrong?
Well, last night, we never found out.
In this case, all we got to see was the CBS News "Special Report"
about the life and death of Yasser Arafat. It lasted just long enough
so that we could see the very end of the exciting scenes from next
week's exciting episode of the exciting new drama, CSI:NY.
What the hell did those bastards at CBS think? We couldn't wait
five minutes until the news to hear about Arafat's death? Do they
actually think that he is more important than the culmination of 55
minutes of amazing forensic drama?
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd fire off an angry email to those
money-grubbing ho's. (That's probably not the proper insult to use,
but I heard it on the radio this morning and wanted to work it
in.)

I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for this...
Please, please DON'T SMOKE inside this building!

Election Dissection
OK, so let's see if I got this right. Bush basically needs to go
thank the renegade administrators who allowed cities to issue marriage
certificates to same sex couples.
It was the uproar around that which precipitated many of the gay
marriage votes, right? And on Tuesday, the young electorate let
Kerry down, and the Christian conservatives came out in force for
Bush.
And what was their primary consideration in choosing a president?
"Moral values."
Moral values? Moral Flippin' Values?!?!? They're more
concerned about two same sex people living together happily than
100,000 people dead in Iraq for no good reason?
I just heard Jon Stewart tell the truth: "Nothing trumps dudes kissing."
