"Just kidding."

- Summary of Pope John Paul II's recent comments on the approximately 2000-year-old description of Hell as a place of fire and brimstone.  Apparently it's actually a mere state of mind "but you know how the boys in marketing tend to exaggerate, haha."


Mother Nature Uses Unregistered, Large Caliber Earthquake To Slay 6800+

'We all have our faults,' Father Time makes excuses as police warn suspect is still on the loose, urge humans to remain indoors

- New York Times front page


"I am a person of strong faith.... 
I'm going to leave that to the states."

- Elizabeth Dole in response to the question, "Do you believe in evolution?"  When asked the follow-up question, "Do you believe two and two make four?" she replied "I believe it is every American's right to decide that highly personal issue for him- or herself rather than have an official dogma imposed on us by the IRS." 


"Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

- Psychologist Michael Brooks, author of the best-selling how-to-relate-to-strangers guide "Instant Rapport,"  in a confrontation with a flight attendant that ended up forcing his plane to make an emergency landing.


"The President received quite a scare today when he was shaking hands in a crowd and a woman suddenly leaped over a security fence.  Fortunately, ever vigilant Secret Service agents managed to wrestle the President's penis to the ground before it could do him any further harm."

- CNN Special Report


"I'd like to buy more toys."

- Platinum Visa card application submitted on behalf of preschooler Alessandra Scalise by her mother as a joke.  Two banks granted her a $5000 line of credit as a result. 


"You know what happens, somebody floats a rumor and it causes you to ask a question.  And that's the game in American politics and I refuse to play it.  That is a game and you just fell for the trap and I refuse to play."

- George W. Bush when asked if he had ever used cocaine as he apparently attempted to make the Guinness Book of World Records for "Longest Alternate Version Of A Simple 'Yes'."


     Ummm....  Don't really have much to say today.  Clearly, if I did have anything to say, it'd just be taken out of context, anyway.

     It's just as well.  It'll give me more time to do rather than write.
     Do what?
     Two things.
     First, I'm really keen on perfecting my latest invention: Hot air elevators.  If I can just manage to avoid making a breakthrough tonight, I think I'll be all set for a rapid rise to the top.
     Second, I really really want to spend some time going door-to-door and alerting depressed, overweight people to the health benefits of a little life-changing activity I came up with in my sleep last night.  I call it Dirgercise®.
     On second thought, I suppose I'd do a better job getting my point across if I waited until I really wasn't in the mood....

Hieronymus Bosch's traditional depiction of Hell.
Or was it his traditional depiction of the campaign trail?
In any case, one of my favorites.
