Stupidity Is Hereditary!
According to one of the two scientists that discovered DNA,
stupidity is a genetic illness. James Watson says, "If you are really stupid, I would call that an illness." He says that if you have a low IQ and don't have a diagnosed mental illness, then you suffer from a hereditary disorder that is pass on by way of the genes, like cystic fibrosis or hemophilia. So, just how would someone who's already an adult treat this "disorder?"

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?
The KKK is seeking a permit to hold a protest at the Masters this year. They want to demonstrate in favor of the Augusta National Golf Club's right to restrict membership to whoever they choose. If that turns out to be men only, well fine! Now, imagine the Club's board of directors meeting. A bunch of old white guys wanting to keep the exclusivity of their men only club, but getting help from a group that doesn't help their image. The Augusta National spokesman tried to distance the club from the KKK, but, hey, that's where it really comes from! Bobby Jones, the founder, was a really great golfer, but was also a good racist.

License Plates for Your Dog
City authorities in Frankfurt, Germany have approved a requirement for dogs to wear large "license plates" with number on them, so that they can identify those that dirty the sidewalks. Owners could be fined up to $161 for not cleaning up after their canine.

The Beautiful Also Have Problems
Poor Denise Richards, an actress who played Christmas Jones in the James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough," feels she has lost out on certain roles in other films, because she is too pretty. She says, "Directors think right away that I can't be a 'normal girl.'" We should all have those problems.

He'll Need a Flea Collar and Heartworm Pills
A man in Vidor, Texas has agreed to a plea agreement to sleep in a doghouse for 30 nights. Please be reminded that Vidor is an all-white city that about 10 years ago vociferously fought having an African-American family move into public housing there. It's one of those places that doesn't have a lot of branches on the family tree.

Sign Me Up
In Madrid a group of women has started a campaign to get themselves ex-communicated from the Catholic church. They are protesting the ex-communication of anyone who played a part in the abortion performed on a 9 year-old rape victim in Managua last week. You can sign up at www.redfemenista.org. I guess you would have to Catholic to get ex-communicated in the first place, but I think it would make a neat "badge" to be ex-communicated anyway.

Gimme That Job, or I'll Kill You!
A man at a Labor Ready, Inc. office killed four and wounded another during an agitated argument at the employment office. Maybe they'll hire him to replace the victims.

Snow Day
Actually, it's more of an ice day. There was more rain last night and the temperature never got above freezing, so we're iced in. Unfortunately, the forecast calls for more of the same all day today. Now, I don't mind being off work, but I DO mind being stuck in the house after a day or so.

Hey, That Doesn't Happen Here!
A cold front came though today dropping temperatures as the day went on. Then about the time that I left work, it started raining, then sleeting. Traffic was slowed to a crawl, and I mean a crawl. It took me 3, yes 3, hours to get home. Now, my trip normally takes 45 minutes, but the sleet was coming down so hard that froze the road over while traffic was on it. But, the real point is that we don't have that happen here in Austin. That happens with some regularity in Oklahoma, but not here! We have this kind of thing happen once every 5 to 8 years, and never at afternoon rush hour! Anyway, it's not something we are accustomed to, and we don't plan to ever get accustomed to it either. So, probably we won't be going to work tomorrow. Hmm...well, now that's not so bad after all.

It Doesn't Have to Exist to Quote It
The President quoted an economic report that doesn't exist to justify his tax cut plan. That's ok, belief is more important that reality, always has been, always will be.

Give Me a Break!
The Nicaraguan bishop who has done several things in the cause for freedom has condemned an abortion that was done yesterday to a 9-year old girl who was raped and became pregnant. Is it God's plan that the girl be raped and give birth? If it is, then it's time for God to be assassinated and replaced with a God who has some compassion!
