Bill Quick’s dismissal of Reno gave me a chuckle, and, if I don’t laugh about this, I’ll cry. Please, God, let this be over soon. I think the only reason she was running for governor in Florida anyway is to just further piss-off Cuban Americans.

Shameless Self-Promotion
I have decided to add to the left sidebar more quotes of people who said nice things about my site. I bet many people come here and don’t know if they like the site or not, but then they’ll see all the smart people who like my site and thus decide to like it too. Everyone wants to be smart.
Also, I noticed that Michael of the site 2blowhards.com has nominated me as one of the three funniest bloggers (brainy-redneck… I like that). This was a smart thing to do. The other two are Natalie Solent and my arch-nemesis, Scott Ott of Scrappleface. Damn you, Scott Ott!
Has anyone thought of making some official blogging awards, like the “Bloggies” or something? I think this is a good idea; I should get a Bloggie for coming up with it.
Kill Animals, Not Plants
A FoxNews.com report talks about how many vegetarians are coming back to eating meat. That seems about right, because that whole vegetarian thing never made sense anyway. What’s the difference between a vegetarian burger and a regular beef burger? Both are just processed vegetables, the former had the processing done by machines and the latter done naturally by a cow. And which one tastes better? Nature’s way of course. When a cow eats vegetables, it has this almost magical ability to sort out only the tasty parts of vegetables and then repackage it in the form of yummy meat. But those nature-hating vegetarians think they can outdo God’s way and thus are arrogant and evil.
And what’s with this complaint about how animals are treated on farms? Vegetables are treated even worse; they’re kept in one place their entire lives and not allowed any mobility at all. And plants never try to harm people, while animals, on the other hand, can be mean. Once, my dog bit me; she didn’t even give a reason. That’s just how animals are. Not once, though, have I been attacked by a house plant. So, obviously, it is much more moral to kill animals than plants.
New Fad in the Middle East
Despite all the expressed hatred towards America, many in the Middle East actually enjoy many parts of American culture; they drink Coca-Cola and eat at McDonalds just like civilized nations. It looks like another American cultural import has caught on, one called “rational thought.” The Sauds have now said they will allow the U.S. to use its bases for an attack on Iraq. They put the condition on it that the U.S. needs U.N. backing first and are still against a regime change, and thus we can not be certain whether this rational thought craze will actually takes roots in Middle Eastern societies or just be a temporary fad.
Custody Disputes are Always Hardest on the Disputed, But, in This Case, That’s a Good Thing
America seems to be in some sort of custody dispute with Pakistan over Rami Binalshibh (and what is up with this photo; is he like totally baked, or what?). Germany threatened to further complicate things by also calming custody, but they ended up backing down like a good European country. Anyway, maybe America and Pakistan can broker some deal between them where they share joint custody, America getting him most of the time to subject him to psychological torture, while Pakistan can get him every other weekend to beat him and pull his finger nails out and what not.
Somehow, though, I don’t think America will have as much trouble getting custody of a terrorist in Pakistan as they do little American girls in Saudi Arabia.
