2007’s Most Misplaced and Illogical “Outrage”
American and media shock at the news that Chinese workers, who are getting paid 2 cents a day, are exporting sub-par products.
One A Month
It’s starting to seem like once a month, a new state tells the Federal Government to stuff it’s abstinence-only sex ed funding. This month it’s New Mexico’s turn.
Eventually maybe the Feds will get the idea, so write to your reps & tell them to “just say no” to “just say no” sex ed.

2007’s Best Self-Mockery
Sting, on being asked why the Police reunion tour now, asked (& I’m paraphrasing), “I mean, what else was I going to do? Make another CD of medieval mandolin music?”

2007’s Best ‘Full Circle’ Career Moment:
Vincent D’Onofrio playing Robert Goren playing Private Pyle (in the penultimate show of this season’s Law & Order: Criminal Intent)
Save the Whales
Today on CNN, they’re talking a lot about the Japanese having responded to protests about their planned whale hunt; that is, for the first time ever, the Japanese government has agreed not to hunt humpback whales. But they’re still planning on hunting more than a 1000 other wales, including Fin Whales, which they’re doing with the bullshit explanation that the hunt is for “scientific purposes.”
On CNN they interview some Joe who says, “Well eating veal could be considered cruel too, so where do you draw the line?”
The line is that whales can’t be raised domestically as a food source. They are only wild, and they are endangered. Veal are not. Would it really be that hard for CNN to find someone who is born a carnivore & a concerned animal lover to make that point?
Not Now
The stack of envelopes under her are invoices I’m supposed to be filing for one of my clients. I got all set up & ready to work & she came up & promptly fell asleep on them. Sometimes cats tell you when it’s not an auspicious time to get any work done.

2007’s Most Unasked Question
“Why do we still pay cops to troll public bathrooms for homosexual pickups?”
Bathroom Etiquette Gone Wrong
I went into a ladies’ room stall last night, with a hairstick in my back pocket, and at some point, it fell out & clattered on the tile floor.
Moments later, I found myself looking for it, with my feet facing the wrong way in the stall, and I thought – oh no, I’m in trouble now.
