Where Have They Gone
The last post by Scott Ott reminds me of the glory days of Will Warren, who used to be the poet of the blogosphere. Here is one of my favorites (which my mother claims is the funniest thing she has ever read):
Merci for Not Expiring
If you want to skip a jailing
when your body takes to ailing
And the doctor starts to shake his head and sigh,

Genius at work:
2003-08-15) — The Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) announced today that its fall lineup will include ‘Straight Eye for the Homo Guy’, a new show based on a similarly-named program on another network.
On each episode a team of five heterosexual males will do a “makeover” on one homosexual man.
Preview screenings of the pilot showed the five guys uncomfortably shuffling around the menswear section at Wal-Mart picking out trousers for a guy named Maurice, who they refused to take with them.

More on the Sniper Shootings
The Hillbilly Sophisticate has some more on the sniper shootings. I will do my best to keep up to date. I might try calling the local sheriff tomorrow.
*** Update ***
It appears that momentum in the coverage is increasing.
Hotmail?
I can’t access hotmail- is this due to the blackout?
WV Sniper Update
If this string of murders continues, and if the narcissistic NY Press gets their AC back, we will probably hear more about the random killings that appear to look like the DC sniper attacks from last year. At any rate, here is another news story on the issue:
Two people were killed late Thursday in separate shootings outside Kanawha County convenience stores, in what police said could be related random shootings.
The two became the second and third people shot dead outside Kanawha Valley convenience stores within four days, and the third and fourth people murdered in Kanawha County on a bloody Thursday.
Thursday night, a woman was gunned down while pumping gas at a Campbells Creek convenience store about 10:20 p.m., while another person was shot slightly more than an hour later outside a Cedar Grove store. Both were killed.
Curiouser and Curiouser
I just don’t get this statement:
Now, there’s no question that Arnold has racial baggage: he supported Proposition 187, he’s hired a bunch of Pete Wilson’s campaign people, he’s got the whole Nazi father thing to deal with, and he belongs to U.S. English, a group that advocates making English the official language of the United States. But even so, I wonder if that’s really such a big problem.
This is racial baggage? His dad, support for Prop 187, and wanting English to be the official language? The bar for racism, or, in this case, allegations of racism, has now been lowered to the point that the term is meaningless- which is a shame. There are some real racist pukes out there.
