Rainy Scattershooting

2/04/10 - 5th Day - Afternoon. Greetings y'all. Guess what? It's raining. Been raining on and off for over a week. Prolly getting close to 5 or more inches. But, we'll take what we can get.

Hey, if you have been sending me emails... First, THANKS. Second, I read all of my emails. Third, I am not on the internet much and when I am I am generally working, so right now it is not possible that I can respond to every email, especially those that are informational or "FYI", etc. and that don't specifically call for a response. I do like to receive your emails, and like I said I do read them, but please remember that I get hundreds of emails and, for the most part, regular back and forth chit-chat is not really going to be possible without me neglecting some other area of my work. Do not interpret this in any way as a method or means to keep you from emailing me.

Oh, and it is still raining. And the stock market crasheded again today... down near 10k.

Today I am smoking a beautiful Puros Indios cigar sent to me by my good brother in South Africa... Thanks Sanrico!

I have Podcast #5 done and in the can, but I haven't gotten it to David yet, so it isn't up yet. I'll try to get it to him this afternoon sometime.

Some thoughts...

Whoever invented tater tots was a genius and ought to be given more responsibilities.

I need some Q's for the next podcast. Be creative. But get them here by tomorrow noon if you are able.

Don't be alarmed, but the government has your baby's DNA.

I cannot think of many things more bizarre than the specter of the President's aunt being deported. Seriously, the Amerikan government is like a bad episode of COPS or a good episode of Jerry Springer.

Start the "restoration process"... Pastor Popped for Propositioning Prostitute, Promptly 'Pologizes... heard to say, "at least it was a female prostitute!"... and can I get extra-credit for the alliteration please?

In the makes perfect sense in this wicked world department: Buffeted by priest sex abuse lawsuits, Vermont's Catholic church says it will sell its headquarters building and a children's camp to raise money for settlements to alleged abuse victims. Imagine the pain of having to say to your little son... "Sorry son, you can't go to camp and get felt-up by God's servants this year because SOMEONE had to sue the church and ruin everyone else's vacation."

This handsy priest definitely should be transferred to another diocese...

Bunker's headline of the day: Gay, Mentally Challenged Bi-Racial Male Cheerleader Claims Discrimination... bonus headline goodness: The headline is in a section called The Daily Weekly.

Alright, enough of that. I'll get back to work.
