You Can't (Not) Make this Stuff Up

Kids of any age can now get married in the great state of Arkansas. As reported by CNN a law intended to forbid kids younger then 18 from getting married was written in a syntactically challenged manner. Apparently an extra "not" was inserted thus changing the meaning of the law so that kids of any age can get married, although still requiring parental consent.

Psssst Here's the Tape But Don't Tell Anyone

OK someone manages to ferret out a video tape for a not quite released Bin Laden appearance. That someone does a favor to the Bushy administration and gives them a heads up undercondition of KEEP THIS SECRET. What to do? Broadcast the info to every intelligence agency possible, thus compromising the source! Unbelievable, no just the usual day-to-day operation of your friends in the current (countdown 460ish days left) administration.

Senator Larry Craig: The Gift that Keeps on Giving

That's right boys and girls CNN reports that Senator Larry (toe tapper) Craig has just been selected for induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame. Can you imagine the exhibit possibilities!

Of course there would be the obligatory full scale replica of the Minneapolis airport bathroom stall, but I say hey why stop with an old fashioned static exhibit. How about making it truly interactive, you know get the kids involved. Install replica's of both stalls and have little Johnny act the role of police officer. What better way to give the kids an appreciation of the difficult job law enforcement must endure. For the particularly adventurous kids they can play the role of Senator Craig himself by matching their foot positions with the interactive foot tapping and wide stance simulator built right into the floor. What a great way to teach the kids how to be safe in public restrooms I can't wait for the induction ceremony!

We Care About Our Vets (wink wink)

A New York Times Editorial "Slogging on the Home Front" details that veterans, seven months from the uproar about lax care which initiated promises promises to fix the problem by the Administration are still absurd. Let's see now so we ship these kids off to war. They get wounded. They come back and have to spend...oh half a year on average getting a decision on their disability status. Seems reasonable no?

Oh and remember that during that half year they just might be struggling to get their bodies and lives back together. Not to mention that traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post traumatic stress are turning out to be the "signature disabilities" of the war. While in that state it's good for all the vets and their families to learn how to deal with bureaucracy...ayeee.
