Inevitable

Sarah Zapolsky was checking in for a flight to Italy when she discovered that her 9 month old son's name was on the United States' "no fly" list of suspected terrorists.

I hope young Zaplosky learns to enjoy traveling by car.

Spider Catcher



Book of Joe with the ordering details.

Personally, I think that any spider under two inches will be difficult to catch with this gizmo. Perhaps a more tried and true method is in order.

Wipe Your Ass With It, Mr. President

It's just the Constitution:

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”...

.

I'm glad we got that straightened out.

Where I've Been...

You may have noticed that the posting hasn't been as frequent lately. There are a couple of reasons for this...

1. Work - This is an incredibly busy time of year for me. The majority of my clients are planning their media placements for 2006 and I'm knee deep in spreadsheets, phone calls and research.

2. Work - In addition to above, I've been putting together a presentation to get a promotion. It was very extensive and I'm elated to say that I gave it yesterday and everything went perfectly. I received several compliments about my thorough preparation and presentation skills. (The last wasn't a surprise. As a former thespian I really enjoy getting up in front of people.) The fruit of this labor should begin to bare itself on Thursday.

Besides that, I've been busy at Casa Horns helping kids with homework, doing dishes & laundry, getting ready for the holiday and helping Mrs. Horns stay sane through a challenging school year. Our family is always busy but it seems that this year it's a little extra crazy.

I should be back to posting the usual serious and thought provoking pieces very soon.

Keep moving, don't be a target.

At The Drive-Thru

A restful content Saturday was ruined just now as I ordered two McNugget Happy Meals for the lads. The woman who took my order said, "I'm sure your grandkids will like this treat."

Ouch. Time to look into the plugs.

I know the Mother of Uncle Horns would appreciate this one. But I find it curious that when we meet and I ask about a game she changes the subject. Hmmmmm.

She knows that I've got a can of antidisestablishmentarianism ready for the triple word score.
