This wasn't so hard. I think I'll add more to it every few weeks until I have a kitty mass transit system in the apartment.

Lord Help Us
"In the White House that hero worshipped the president, Miers was distinguished by the intensity of her zeal: She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met."
Anyone who may have made such a statement, whether sincerely or in a sycophantically does not need to be on the Supreme Court. A man who can't speak in complete sentances in public cannot possibly be the most brilliant man anyone has ever met.

"Voters in Oregon have twice endorsed doctor-assisted suicide, but the Bush administration has aggressively challenged the state law, the only one of its kind in the nation."
OK, it's perfectly accaptable to kill 100,000 Iraqis and sacrifice 2,000 American service peoples but if you want to die if you are suffering from a terminal illness that would be immoral? Fucking asshole.

I was a-wonderin'
I saw an article on Drudge that 109 oil platforms had been destroyed in the Gulf of Mexico by the two recent hurricanes. I thought 109 seemed like a lot of oil platforms so I tried to find out how many oil platforms existed in the Gulf of Mexico. So far I've been able to fin in a 2004 Houston Chronicle article that "more than 100 companies operate the thousands of oil and gas platforms in the Gulf."
More information as I gather it...

Momma dogface banana patch
I think I am going to go straight edge. From now on the most toxic substance that will enter my body is pizza or if I fall into Sugar Creek, sewage.
Big weekend in the National Flounder Patrol. The NFP is the fantasy football league I am in that has been running now for about six or seven years with the same five person core. We've have had a few people fall in and out over the years but the NFP has maintained its identity for a while now. One season Tom even joined us. He drafted a team made up of only players that had Muslim-sounding names. He did surprisingly well. This weekend the average spread of victory between opponents was 4.5 points and no team lost by more than 6.5 points. How's that for parity?
I see that the NASCAR race at Talladega was just how the NASCAR brass likes it, full of wrecks and carnage. I swear things will not change at Talladega until someone dies. That is what it is going to take for NASCAR to get rid of restrictor plates. Just like my cable choices, if NASCAR really wanted to fix what is going on at this track they would have long ago. If they claim that restrictor plates are the best solution they are bullshitting, lying and full of shit.
I hard the last twenty minutes of the president's "press conference" this morning. I swear, hearing the softball questions these hand picked reporters toss to this guy is just shocking. They are a bunch of goddman pussies.
I am going to make a kitty highway out of 1X6's in my apartment. I figure if after so many years the bastards won't put in new carpet or paint the place then I am going to start some heavy construction. The future is now.

More proof that George W. Bush is shit
"Although its title might sound more like a Judas Priest album than a political thriller, "Metal Storm" offers a highly realistic account of an American war with Turkey. In the grand tradition of the cold-war farce "The Mouse That Roared," the book describes a series of baroque plot twists that result in Turkey's humbling the American military behemoth. To be sure, the book is trashy - its wild speculations include a shadow ruler behind the unnamed American president and arms smuggling via the Mexican drug mafia - and readers are presumably taking it with a grain of salt. Yet it's a sign of how far America's reputation has plummeted that "Metal Storm," first published in late 2004, is now in its eighth printing of 50,000. The book is said to be very popular with the Turkish military, and men aged 18 to 30."

Golf Conversation
Thursday I played golf with Chris. I have two buds named Chris and it gets mighty confusing when blogging. He's the Chris that my friend Beth refers to as "the Chris that says fuck all the time." The other Chris we can just call "the one big loud guy." Any person that knows them both will find these descriptions apt.
We played golf at Revolution Park Golf. This was the second time we played there. It's on the west side of town off Remount Road. It's a nine hole public course and it's fun and challenging. Last time we were there was July and then about half the greens were in terrible shape with a bare spots and uneven grass. They fixed that problem so the place is perfect now.
We started in the afternoon and in the middle of the third hole it started raining. We finished the hole quickly and parked the cart under some trees and waited for about 20 minutes for the rain to quit. For a while there we thought we were hosed but it started getting lighter and when the rain stopped it didn't come back. The sky slowly cleared up, it got a little warmer and turned in the perfect afternoon. It was the first time I had been on a golf course during a rain delay and the transformation the course went throught from cloudy and rainy to warm and sunny was dramatic. Hole number 8 is a long uphill par 5 with a wooded area to your right and a line of trees going up the fairway to the left. You have to drive the ball from the tee over a wooded creek. By now it is pushing six o'clock and the sun is going down slow to our left and the fairway grass is releasing into the air the moisture deposited by the rain shower. For a while with the reddish light and the steam coming off the turf it felt like early morning instead of the late afternoon. Even driving my tee shot into the woods along the creek was not enought to ruin my appreciation of the beauty of the golf course for that 30 minutes.
The conversation part
At hole six I actually out drove Chris off the tee with a nice long straight tee shot. Chris admired it and said "Wow, that was your best tee shot since...uhh...ever."
