Head, meet desk. Repeat as necessary.

The Schiavo circus is reaching fifteen rings now. Yesterday, we had the following amusing incidents.

FOX News, having run out of doctors who haven't examined Terri but still think they can diagnose her from watching heavily-edited video clips, interviewed John Edwards. Yes, John Edwards of "Crossing Over" infamy. Crooks and Liars had the Daily Show's take on the whole event. (Link courtesy of filkertom)

Then we had a would be commando try to steal a gun to "rescue Terri." This particular mensa reject tried to rob a gun store with a box cutter. Guess he didn't realize that a gun store owner might, oh, I don't know, have ready access to a gun ? The Littlest Crusader now faces charges of attempted armed robbery, aggravated assault and criminal mischief.

Bob and Mary Schindler are still shopping for judges, having been denied yet another emergency order. They're now claiming that the entire judiciary is out to kill their daughter. Kids, your daughter died because of a heart attack brought on by an eating disorder. Deal with it.

In a sign of hope, polls show that an overwhelming percentage of Americans agree that Bush and the GOP screwed up by making this a federal case. This includes 63% of white evangelical Christians, Bush's alleged strongest supporters. If the Democratic National Committee is smart, they'll make the intrusion into private lives the centerpiece of the 2006 midterm campaign.

And WinAmp has a sick sense of humor.

Friday Five

1. What kind of toothpaste do you use? Ultrabrite Advanced Whitening

2. Do you take vitamins? Yes.

3. Which over-the-counter drug can't you live without? This time of year, allergy control meds.

4. What kind of soap do you have in your shower? Well, I use Ivory. I hate soaps that are loaded with scents and other things. They realy irritated me during chemo, and I got in the habit of using Ivory then and never switch back.

5. What is the most unusual item in your medicine cabinet? The dozen or so bottle of Prednisone Acetate Opthalmic Suspension USP. I needed it for my eye infection a few years back, and friend arrainged for a pretty good amount to fall off a truck for me.

And people wonder why I want to be a police dispatcher...

Calls like this..

"What are we supposed to protect you from, a cheeseburger?"

The laterst thing that all the cool kids are doing.

Ask me a question. I'll reply with a song lyric

Good for a laugh.

I use bugmenot.com to get around news sites that demand registration. Basically it's a repository of valid user names and passwords.

So I just got one for the New York Times. Both the user name and password were variants on "Go Sox"

OK, I have to have one.

If I get this job, I'm starting to save up, because I need a Harley. I'm having riding dreams almost every night, and miss having the wind (and bugs) in my face.

This is what I want, The Sportster 883L. In black, please.

Even assuming an outrageous APR, and the dead minimum down payment, I can get the payments on a 60 month loan down to about $150 a month. That's doable.

Damnit, I can do this.
