Mo' Bile, Homes

[1] I now know more about breast cancer than I ever wanted to. That should give you an idea just how bad cancer is: It made me say the word "breast" and the phrase "more... than I ever wanted" in the same sentence. That's bad.

[2] A little perspective, people: If you were in Iraq right now, September 2008 would seem like an entire chamber of Congress, one whole Presidential veto, and roughly 1200 lifetimes away. So stop celebrating.

[3] Please, oh, please, I beg of you, in the name of anything we can both agree just might be sacred and/or holy: Do not read "2008" as "two thousand and eight." You're better than that. And if you're not, go away.

[4] The word "Ewok" is never mentioned in Return of the Jedi. Not once. Think about that.

[5] Walter Mosley is a god.

[6] Mag-Lite --now there's a company running a legal scam: They have taken just about the most simple electrical tool known to man, and turned it into a status symbol.

[7] About a month ago, a British performance artist named Mark McGowan spent 72 hours crawling around New York City on all fours dressed in a business suit, knee pads, work gloves, a George W. Bush mask and a sign that read, "Kick My Butt." I've not heard just how many New Yorkers partook in punting the proffered posterior, either because they dislike Bush... or just on general principles.

[8] Performance art (per-FORM-ants-art) [noun] a publicity stunt staged by somebody you've never heard of before.

[9] "My Ding-a-ling" was Chuck Berry's biggest hit. Think about that.

[10] Danica Patrick, in a promotional spot for a show on XM: "On the radio, you can sorta hide behind the microphone and show the fans who we really are." Hey, now, how about that: They make Bimbo in brunette, now.

[11] There are 664 days left until George W. Bush pardons Scooter Libby.

[12] Boycott Under Armor.

[13] Bud "See No Barry, Hear No Barry, Speak No Barry" Selig must go.
