And what amuses me today?
And what amuses me today? First, I am amused that the New Improved Blogger Pro version replaces all of my " and ' characters with ? characters. I cannot quote anyone without seeming to be very very inquisitive, or an inverted Spaniard. Why are there " and ' characters in this post, you ask? Because I am using the old New Improved Blogger Pro version, which leaves my " and ' characters alone.
I am also amused by this fellow, because he doesn't know what he's talking about. Anyone who can define eschatology as "the spirituality of any religion" and then proceed to write an entire column about out-Islaming the Muslims can only be amusing, and nothing more. My learned response to this bit of nonsense can be found as a comment to this item at VodkaPundit, if you're interested. The thing that gets me about this guy is that he was a deputy undersecretary of Defense for George Bush I. It's a wonder we got out alive...although I suppose that as a mere deputy undersecretary he probably didn't get to make any of the big big decisions, and certainly didn't need to know much about religion.
I am also amused by this Drudge item: "Martha's Vineyard town reverses bar smoking ban." Seems that once the town banned smoking in bars, the smokers moved to the street corners. Says Health Board chairman Joe Alosso: "The (cigarette) butts are a major problem, and so is the language you hear. They've taken the bar atmosphere and put it in the street." So it's not the cigarettes that are the problem, it's the people who smoke them. Better to have those...people...in bars, out of sight, where they can give each other cancer and we won't be subjected to their presence.
Finally: Georges the Dolphin. Pity poor Georges. Not only is he unable get any Dolphin action, which has forced him to harass human females, he has also developed a fascination with spinning things. Namely, boat propellers. I've seen that happen: sexually frustrated drunken fratboys roaming the city, looking for revolving doors to play in. It never ends well, and it probably won't end well for poor Georges either.
