While trying to set my alarm clock, for no reason whatsoever, Barry White started playing. This is a good thing.

Having to be at work at 9:00 when the bar next door is open until 4:00 is not a good thing.
Made it to NYC with nary a scratch. My hotel room overlooks Times Square, and I can see the big Coca-Cola sign from here. There’s also a rather large billboard that reads PETA Kills Animals .com. Not sure what that’s about, but I’ll check it out later. As I mentioned, I’m in NYC, and there’s a bazillion other things to do here besides sit in your hotel room and type, so I’m outta here. First stop, pizza.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A top aide to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan told a congressional panel Thursday that a transformation of the United Nations is under way, but denied the U.N. is an out-of-control bureaucracy.
Yeah, they’re lean and mean. And they all pay their parking tickets.
That reminds me, I need to go to the UN building next week. It gives me something to spit on.

Well, not really. But Nancy Cartwright, who is the voice of Bart Simpson, has been elected mayor of Northridge, CA.
“Everyone finds it funny that Bart is the new mayor. I can influence people because I’m Bart Simpson,” she said.
Yep, that’s exactly what I’d be looking for in a mayor.
From ABC:
“The attempt to do away with the filibuster is nothing short of clearing the trees for the confirmation of an unacceptable nominee to the Supreme Court,” said Democratic Leader Harry Reid. He accused the president of an attempt to “rewrite the Constitution and reinvent reality” with his demand for a yes-or-no vote on all nominees.
Ok, idiot, show me just where in the Constitution it says that the Senate can filibuster judicial nominees, because I sure as hell can’t find it.
I thought the Democrats were supposed to be pro-minority. If they actually were, wouldn’t you think they’d be jumping at the chance to put Janice Rogers Brown on a federal appeals court? Instead, they’re still trying, years later, to stop her from getting an up or down vote.
Sad.
Obviously, they’re not as respectful of others’ religions as we are here…
Bibles found in the possession of visitors to Saudi Arabia are routinely confiscated by customs officials, and in some cases copies allegedly have been put through a paper shredder, according to religious rights campaigners.
Well, that hardly seems fair. However, as they say on infomercials, “But wait! There’s More!”
“If you have more than one Bible you will be taken into custody, and if you have a quantity of Bibles you will be given 70 lashes for sure – you could even be executed.”
Executed for possessing books. Guess their Bureau of Tourism office is not a very busy place.
I’m guessing that upon hearing of this news, Christians in this country will begin rioting. There be blood flowing in the streets of the red states.
Hang on, I’ll check…
Hmmm, Google news search for “Christian riot” only turns up one hit, and it’s about anti-Christian riots in Israel.
Maybe they’re just updating, I’ll check again…
Still nothing. But I’m sure it will happen…
Any moment now…
UPDATE: Still nothing yet, but while I’m waiting, let me add the following: Newsweek lied, people died.
When Thomas Smith’s wife Jane died, being a marble cutter by trade, he lovingly crafted her tombstone himself. It read:
Here lies Jane Smith, wife of Thomas Smith, marble cutter. This monument was erected by her husband as a tribute to her memory and a specimen of his work. Monuments of the same style 350 dollars.”
