Dave Letterman's Show


The Goddess and I travel to NYC on Saturday. We'll be visiting our daughter there. There's a lot we want to do, and today we found out that we've got tickets to see The Late Show with Dave on Wednesday night November 1.

To get in you have to prove your identity (they suggested a passport), and you have to pick up the tickets yourself. No one can pick them up for you. Then you probably have to take your shoes off, go thru a metal detector, and be interviewed. It might be easier to get on an airplane. Oh well, it ought to be fun.

That's Enough to Make You Want to Commit Suicide


Mary Carey, pornstar and Gubernatorial candidate, has dropped out of the race to be with her mother who tried to kill herself in September. Now, it wouldn't have been because her daughter was a pornstar. No, she's been a pornstar for a long time. It must have been because her daughter had become a Republican politician. I sympathize.

What Do Benin, Bolivia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina Have in Common?

Besides all of their names starting with a "B"? By the way, Benin is a little country in western Africa, Bolivia is a very poor country in the highlands of South America, and well, Bosnia is where they had ethnic cleansing. What do they have in common? They all rank higher on the press freedom ranking than the USA according to Reporters without Borders. Yep, we're tied for number 53 along with (get this) Botswana, Croatia, and Tonga. You remember Botswana don't you? That's the country that had the highest percentage of AIDS in the world in 2001. How about Croatia? Well, besides siding with the Nazis in WWII they also have an affinity for ethnic cleansing. Tonga? Hell, who knows anything about Tonga? We all know one thing about Tonga - they have the same press freedoms that we do. Oh my God! Does the word impeachment ring a bell?

Which Part of "Arrogance and Stupidity" Did He Mean?


Alberto Fernández, a senior US diplomat, said in an interview on Al-Jazeera Saturday, that "there was arrogance and stupidity" on the part of the US regarding Iraq.

Now, he has retracted his statement. He says, "those words do not reflect my opinion nor that of the State Department." Uh, yeah right! You don't choose words like that by mistake. You especially don't if you're a diplomat. No, I think he did mean exactly what he said.

Mr. Fernández says that after he read the translation of his appearance on Al-Jazeera that he "realized that I had spoken mistakenly when I used the phrase 'there was arrogance and stupidity.'"

At first the State Department said that there must have been an error in the translation, but later had to admit that what was wrong wasn't the translation. Mr. Fernández even reiterated his statement on CNN when asked about it that same day. He said, "nothing I said is a revelation." Well, that was then, this is now.

I think I would recant too, if I had a hot poker shoved up my ass! You know something like that happened.

¿No Tenemos Suficientes?


Dicen que Kate Moss está embarazada. ¿De quién? Pues, de su novio por supuesto, Pete Doherty. Pero...¿es que no tenemos bastantes modelos y drogadictos ya? ¡Que Dios lo/nos proteja!
