Bush Haiku
Actual quotes by the President as composed by the WaPo's Richard Thompson:
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
And potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull
on the pant leg of opportunity.
I know that the human being
And the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!

The Onion Responds
The White House is unhappy with the Onion about using the Presidential Seal. And now the Onion returns with a shot across the bow of the White House.
Borderline inappropriate, but I can't stop laughing.

Apparently the White House has their knickers in a twist over the Onion's use of the Presidential Seal within it's satirical content. There are several bloggers who've taken it upon themselves to try and inflame the situation by posting the Seal on their sites. More info over at Phillybits.

Miers "Withdraws"
So this means...
We're going to have another woman nominated.
We will see the entire fillibuster/nuclear option discussed again.
With the ongoing Plame investigation, the GOP's leverage is significantly hampered. Even with the "moderates" who got together last time, I don't think someone like estremist Priscilla Owen can get nominated.
Meanwhile...
Sandra Day O'Connor is thinking, "What the hell do I have to do to get back on the golf course?"

Your Help Needed
By way of comment please let me know what you think about the picture on your left. I don't think it's a bad shot and thought it would spice this bland site up a bit.
Is it vain? Should I Photoshop in a mullet? Should I replace JoePa with Steve Spurrier?
Your reasons for yay or nay are appreciated as are humorous responses.
Majority rules.
Relatives may vote, though only once, Mom.

Trip to the Renn Faire
A couple of weeks ago one of the eldest Horns went on a field trip to the PA Rennaissance Faire. Everyone in his class got dressed up along with his teachers.
When he returned, the Horns lad shared lots of stories about how much fun he had. Over dinner he shared a question that had been bothering him and it was apparent that he didn't ask anyone else...
"Why did they keep calling us, genitals?"
Mrs. Horns and I stifled our giggles. Apparently he had no idea what the word meant. Mrs. Horns, who has Renn Faire experience, explained what they were saying was, gentles, as in gentle people or those not involved with the Faire. We also explained the meaning of the former word and all had a good chortle.

Mr. Magoo need food:
An elderly man crashed his car into the Burger King in downtown Wausau on Friday morning.
The man smashed his car into the main entrance at about 9:30 a.m. He got out of the car, went inside and asked to be served breakfast.
Burger King employees served the man, who was found inside eating his breakfast when police arrived.
The store's entrance sustained heavy damage, but employees continued to serve patrons who made their way into the restaurant.
The man's name had not be disclosed by authorities. Further details, including what caused the crash, were unavailable as of noon Friday.

Hypnotist Bank Robber
Copperfield?
| Permalink Here
Bank clerks in Moldova have been told not to make eye contact with customers after a string of robberies by a hypnotist.
The robber reportedly puts cashiers into a trance before making them hand over tens of thousands of pounds.
Local police said the criminal, who they believe is a trained hypnotist from Russia, begins talking to bank tellers and gradually hypnotises them.
He then gets them to give him money before bringing them back out of the trance and leaving them with no memory of handing over the cash, Russian media reported.
Officers, who are still looking for the man, said he took more than £20 000 (about R200 000) in his last robbery.

Six and Oh My Goodness
The Penn State Nittany Lions are undefeated after beating the sixth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday night. With the win the Nits move to #8 in the AP poll. This is incredible considering two weeks ago we were unranked. Many tough games left, but I finally have confidence in the lads.
WE ARE...
UPDATE: I got this note from a client who was at the game: Do you know who won the Penn State game on Saturday? I haven't been able to find anything about it on the Internet. lol

Couple o horns

Fantastic News (to some)
It looks like Merck has developed a vaccine that could help block cervical cancer:
You'd think that everyone would be ecstatic at this news. You'd be wrong. The Family Research Council has a problem with preventing cancer:
This boggles the mind. Old white men trying to push their "values" on families. Pre-marital sex is going to happen as sure as the sun is going to come up tomorrow. The penalty shouldn't be death.

It looks like Merck has developed a vaccine that could help block cervical cancer:
..."This trial confirms that a vaccine can give young women a high level of protection from developing precancerous lesions and early cervical cancers," said Laura Koutsky, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington, who led the study.
Human papilloma virus - or HPV - is a sexually transmitted disease that can cause a wide variety of problems in both men and women, the most serious of which is cervical cancer.
Dr. Lucy Gilbert, Chief of Gynecological Oncology at the McGill University Health Centre, said the risk is wide spread.
"Reality is, 70 per cent of people who are sexually active - you don't even have to be promiscuous - 70 per cent of people who are sexually active come in contact with the virus."...
You'd think that everyone would be ecstatic at this news. You'd be wrong. The Family Research Council has a problem with preventing cancer:
...In the US, for instance, religious groups are gearing up to oppose vaccination, despite a survey showing 80 per cent of parents favour vaccinating their daughters. "Abstinence is the best way to prevent HPV," says Bridget Maher of the Family Research Council, a leading Christian lobby group that has made much of the fact that, because it can spread by skin contact, condoms are not as effective against HPV as they are against other viruses such as HIV.
"Giving the HPV vaccine to young women could be potentially harmful, because they may see it as a licence to engage in premarital sex," Maher claims, though it is arguable how many young women have even heard of the virus...

...10:21 "No concession, bribe, or act of appeasement would alter their plans for murder." Uh, so the Iraqi Constitution does appear officially doomed, then.
10:23 "Never back down, never give in, never accept anything less than complete victory." Bush turns to camera and mouths "I love Springsteen."...
That's funny.
