A few quickies:

-Somebody at work keeps on pissing all over the toilet lids. Which means that whoever is doing it is not only not pissing but not lifting the lid to piss. And I'm not pissed because of the mess it leaves on my favorite stall (the big handicap one for a floor with no handicapped men) but I'm pissed because it breaks some kind of guy code. We all have lousy aim and we all make messes, but we all know this and so don't leave messes all over things we might be sitting on.

-Is South Park showing signs of the Shark Jumpage?

-I went to get a flu shot today so I'll stop being sick but they wouldn't let me. Because I'm sick.

-You know how there was that car crash with Paris, Paris' BFF Kim Stewart, Paris' boyfriend Stavros, and one of those lame-o's on "Laguna Beach" which they all survived? Just think, the world came that close to being a better place. Seriously, would that really have been considered a tragedy? You know, the scary thing about it is that if Paris had been killed, with the way the world is going, she probably would have achieved some Marilyn type martyrdom. You know, the whole live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse. So maybe it was a good thing she survived.

-The problem with Bush's approval rating at 34% is that it really can't get that much lower. At some point, he'll go up to like 42% or something and the press will be calling it a comeback and saying he's rallying when in reality, his numbers have gone from dreadful to still entirely sucky. And the thing is that now that the Republicans are trying to fight back against all the bad news, it's only a matter of time before the press goes pliant again and buys into the shtick. It's already happening. Deep down, we know they'll all get away with it.
