Geez, those trip reports take a long time.

Further proof you can get anything on eBay. Where would you put this thing?

This is horrible. Saw it on the news tonight. I'm sure the press and the powers-that-be will blame this incident on the individual soldiers, as they did with the Abu Gharib scandal. The blame should be directed at the administration, which has kept troops in Iraq under intense conditions for far longer than they were prepared for. The government will hang these guys out to dry. And, oh yeah, by the way, Osama bin Laden is still at large.

Bush wants Condi Rice to replace Colin Powell. Sad to see the one guy who tried to keep America out of war go. So Powell is out and Rumsfeld is still in? To the 52% of Americans who helped make life a living hell for the rest of the world until 2008, thanks a friggin' lot.

I was all set to beat Lou at fantasy football this week...then, with five minutes left, Vinny Testaverde threw a pick and Philly returned it for six. So now I have to wait until the scores are tallied up in the morning to see if Franks and Beans squeaked out a win against the Phurr Burgers. Hopefully the 18 points from Lou's nemesis, Adam Vinatieri, will be enough to pull it off.

I guess I should cheer up. After all, it's Big Game Week, and Cal looks poised for Pasadena. Go Bears!!!
