"Scatalogue: 30 Years of Crap in Contemporary Art, is on display at Ottawa's SAW Gallery."

Modern art has finally realized its potential.
UPDATE: Be sure to recommend the book "in addition to" rather than "instead of."

Upon recommendation from a certain non-blogging luddite, via Michael Malice, I have joined the crusade to link Hillary Clinton's Living History with ASIN #0395925037 on amazon.com. Shoppers looking for supplemental reading material will now know where to look. Feel free to join in the fun by filling in the ASIN number in the customer advice section.
Kyoto 'Flatulence Tax' Plan Causes Turbulence in New Zealand

You know, as a member of the House Environment Committee at Buckeye Boys' State, I pushed to introduce a bill mandating the research and implementation of methane containment devices for livestock. We were prevented from introducing the bill by the Speaker, who wanted to preserve the seriousness of Boys' State legislation. While that was exceedingly lame, it's good to see those Kiwis know where to look for their greenhouse gases.

Casablanca is one of my favorite movies, perhaps that's why I really enjoyed this deconstruction of the recent Al Qaida bombings as an attack on a city symbolic of civil society. Having visited the city, however, I think we could do better.
I'd snicker too.
In honor of a weekend where I will be sitting home piecing together an outline for an article tentatively titled "The Horror of HIPAA: You Don't Know What They Can't Tell You" - or something like that - I thought it would be appropriate to post a list of some of the places I'd much rather be right now.

My soon to be realized dream themeparks:

Habitat for Humanity Poverty Park
Transylvania's Vlad Tepes Funland

And of course, the ones that have been on my pilgrimage list for some time now:

Dollywood
Branson, MO - if only for the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Museum and the possibility of catching a Yakov Smirnoff show (and didja know, Yakov is the one responsible for the giant heart mural that is at the World Trade Center site?!? What a country!)
The Winchester Mystery House

And things I would see if I happened to be in town:
The Corn Palace (which, btw, has its own webcam)
Dale Earnhardt Tribute (I have faith that the NASCAR fans will eventually ban together and create something outrageous and garish... for now, its just a lonely sign in a park... but time will tell....)
The World of Coca-Cola Museum

And in case you're wondering, I have no interest in seeing the Spam Museum, any of the 4 or 5 giant balls of twine littering the countryside, or any kind of frontier anything museum. (Although I might be talked into visiting Pioneer Village just outside Kearney, NB, as I owe them a favor, but that's another story.)
And, if your tastes are anything like mine, I can't recommend www.roadsideamerica.com too highly.

Virgin wha?!?



I guess I just don't believe hard enough.
But will he take it to the next level?


After seeing this, I figured it was only fair to subject everyone else to the image.

Also, as if that was not enough, here's the story's final sentence:
"But for believers in modification, a split tongue is merely a start. Split penises, sliced lengthwise in half, are not unheard of among aficionados."

Woo-hoo! finally got into this fortress of cyberspace.

Re the site mascot, check out this one. There's something very po mo about a cat dressed up as a cat.

I assuming everyone saw this from last week. Rumor has it there was a pretzel caught in the wheel.

"If they don't get minimum wage, this is exploitation," he said.

...but its so much better than using them for compost.....
"A third of the American public believes U.S. forces have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, according to a recent poll. Twenty-two percent said Iraq actually used chemical or biological weapons."

According to this article, at least one person on this blog is in serious denial.


You know, I'm not much of a fashion monger.. but someone really ought to intervene here...

I think we've found a mascot for the blog.

Credit goes to Sheldon for the find.

Seems like a good time to revisit www.mycathatesyou.com.

Although I don't care for the message.. Atheist, the game, is still pretty amusing. Lots of other funny bits on www.zefrank.com.
