Just when I thought it was time to get my war on, I find this nifty game: Homeland Insecurity
Dammit. Why didn't I know about this before I signed on for law school?

Everyone on the East Coast has two hours to spam him before I take his email address down.... if the spam count is disappointing, I may have to post his phone number, SSN, home address, and other necessary information.

Maybe I'll try to work this in to a proposed Dollywood roadtrip...
Just when I thought I was starting to get far too much exercise from video games, technology promises to make it even easier.

“Heinasirkka, heinasirkka, menetaalta hiiteen.”

I'm a couple days late, but it's not as if anyone noticed.

I try not to post quizzes, but these two have been making the rounds the last few days and are really good:

The Country Quiz

The Book Quiz

For the curious, I am Libya and Siddharta by Herman Hesse, respectively.
Take your pants off, Dylan!

I'm back from a brief stint in London with a new appreciation for firefighters, Mother Goose, and the systemic looting of foreign relics a la the British Museum. Perhaps most importantly, I was able to witness the theatrical atrocity that is When Harry Met Sally as performed by Luke Perry and Alyson Hannigan. The highlight was watching the audience of twenty and thirty somethings reliving their 90210 fantasies with barely controlled glee as Dylan gave the audience a gratuitous glimpse of his pert apple ass. The rest was straight out of a bad high school play in which the performers are clearly putting so much effort into remembering their lines and the blocking that actual acting is out of the question. Sadly, I had predicted that Perry would be the show's ruin, but next to Hannigan, he is a gifted thespian indeed. She is truly awful. AWFUL.

Moving Violations

Sure, it's always fun to reference an awful movie, but this post has a serious message, too. Just because someone looks like a bad person doesn't give you the right to run them over.

"A French artist allegedly traumatized by last week's Spain bombings was convicted of trying to run over a pedestrian he mistook for Osama bin Laden and ordered to pay the man $615.

"[The driver's] lawyer, David Mendel, said his client was the 'victim of a hallucination' while driving Monday through Montpellier's historic center.

"The intended target, a man in his 30s, was able to run from the oncoming car, which crashed along the side of a street.

"'If it was (bin Laden), we would have won $5 million,' Mendel said, referring to a reward."

The Dutch have something in common with Afghanis

"A frustrated Afghan soldier who could not afford to get married has been released without charge after being caught having sex with a donkey, police said Tuesday.

"The soldier, who was not identified, was detained for several days last week after a young boy spotted him with the animal in an abandoned house in the southeastern town of Gardez.

"'The man insisted he had no other choice but the donkey because he could not afford to pay a dowry to get married,' a local police officer told Reuters."

Most excellent news! Sam Tanenhaus has just been appointed the new Book Review Editor for the New York Times. Sam is a great guy and a very fair and thorough writer. He is the one responsible for the big Vanity Fair piece on Hillsdale a few years back and is also the author of "Whittaker Chambers: A Biography."

Tattoo your teeth.

I think I'm as disturbed by the tattoo selection as I am by the process itself. Fox News? Sistine Chapel hands? Da Bulls? Ick.
