Osler's Razor

It is true that the U.S. is lacking in Catapult research, and it IS hurting our efforts in both Iraq and on the Border. But at least we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the Earth thirty times over. Because really, blowing up the Earth a mere 3-25 times just is not enough.
 

Perhaps congress will now see that we need to approve more money for the Bovine Defense Initiative (as conceived of by our friends at Halliburton) and we could finally develop the potential of dropping diseased cows from space.
 

pro immigration. yep even illegally. without it i would not be who i am or where i am.
 

T2B--

Isn't that overkill, so to speak? Kent Schenk, I think, has the right idea when he talks about using catapults with the diseased cows. Either way, I suppose, it's more jobs for Texans! We win! Yay!
 

Tourism is down in Detroit? Who knew? While I have not been back to the Motor City since 1998, I have a theory on why person might not want to visit a city. I know that I would not want to visit Wilsonville Oregon on a vacation for the simple fact that a lot of people here drive their horses places. WHY do people have to DRIVE their horses places, and why do they pick like 5PM on the freeway to take them on the road? I am so many times stuck behind a horse trailer around here, and I fail to understand where these people are taking these animals, and why? What is the point of DRIVING a horse somewhere? Where can they possibly be taking their horse? Out for cocktails? Uhhmm to an early movie? I mean how many places can a horse need to go? They do not wear clothes, they do not need groceries or office supplies…. They do not say their owners: “Hey I am out of vitamins and that 5 gallon drum of mayonnaise is almost empty, and I want to look at printers… can we hit Costco before they close?”

I mean they could be going to the vet but most people, if they can afford to keep a horse and all of its accoutrements they can probably afford to have a vet come to the house you know? I doubt the vet calls and says “Its time for Premonition’s vaccines – bring him by the office..” A horse show I guess is a possibility, but then, how many of those can you go to? Do they have like play dates? Like to visit with other horses while their moms sit and gossip and drink coffee and talk about preschools and crock pot recipes and how Oprah is losing it?

I do not get it. I realize this is a poor argument for or against immigration, or tourism, but I do not have a problem with any citizen of the US, legal or illegal, as long as they leave their stupid horse at home.

Also it is 4:52 AM and Spencer is in our bed again. He woke me up. I know I am supposed to be the mean mommy and kick him out back to his own room, but he has been sick and I cannot do it. However, they are both kind of spread out and I was feeling like I was going to roll off the edge so I came downstairs to roll off some typing.

He is sick and he will not be able to attend preschool today, which means he will be a maniac most of the day. Or maybe he will sleep a lot. He slept a lot yesterday.

Have you ever seen the movie The Birdcage? Rememeber that scene where Albert ( Nathan Lane) dresses up to be a woman when Gene Hackman and his wife come for dinner and “Mrs. Coleman” gets all slurpy drunk and starts going on about politics? Well that is about how goofy this post is. But I still loved that movie.. and YES I did see the original in like 5th grade with my mother or maybe my friend Nancy’s parents. It was in French, and I did not know what a transvestite was or what the heck was going on.
 

I believe the horses are going to conferences. They usually have those at an airport Marriott.
