Quote of the Day

“Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are hoping the new mansion they’ve just purchased will be ready in time for their wedding. It could take a while, because it takes a long time to weld together a hundred trailer homes.” Graham Norton, as quoted on TheSuperficial.com

Although I swore that I’d never talk openly on MY web site about that emotionally and mentally retarded whore, Paris Hilton, I read that she’s planning to write a memoire at the ripe ol’ age of 23. This pisses me off, but not for the same reason as many would be.

When I was riding the train to IAOD every day back in 2000, I considered writing a memoire. Not in spite of being 23, but because I was 23. The question I asked myself was, why would I want to be 60 in order to look back on my life? It always seems like a good idea until I realize there’s work involved. I do have my thoughts sketched down from those times, and they might make an interesting read… but unless I surgically remove half my brain, I won’t become popular enough in American Media to make my mental meanderings into a Best Seller.

Here’s another Goy-ish observation. Considering the fact that I didn’t know that Yiddish was a real language until about 2-3 years ago, I was kind of surprised to see that they actually have Yiddish language courses!

Finally, some not-so-funny links. The number of American Soldiers who have died in Iraq has nearly hit 1,000. The number of coalition forces crossed that grim milestone early in July. Ironically, it might cross that number during the Republican Convention this week. I’d prefer it not cross 1,000 dead Soldiers For Oil at all.

I’m not sure what I can do about the Americans dying for the Oil Barons, since there might be a stupid law in the US like we have in Canada, forbidding ‘outsiders’ from influencing the voters (where an ‘outsider’ is anyone who doesn’t physically live in Canada). While there may be very little that I’m happy with Paul Martin about, keeping Canadian Forces out of this “War Against A War Tactic” is something I’m very proud he’s done. Cretien refused to go into Iraq, and Paul Martin is keeping that stance. If Canada does get into the “war”, I’m loading up the car with bristol board and markers, and heading to Ottawa.
