Last Thought For Friday
After USA Today broke the "government is watching what numbers you dial" story yesterday, the President walked in front of the cameras early in the morning to try and stop the firestorm that was about to erupt. (The text of his short remarks are here). The appearance had to be in response to someone saying, "You gotta get out there!!! We're gonna get killed on this thing!!!"
But he said this: "We're not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans. Our efforts are focused on links to al Qaeda and their known affiliates. "
Every time the Administration gets accused of spying on Americans, it always uses lines like that.
Question: If we know which calls are linked to al Qaeda, why don't we just go and pick those people up?

Drag and drop a state to the correct place on the map.
It's amazingly entertaining.
Big Brother
With the news breaking yesterday that your federal government has been monitoring what phone numbers you have been dialing, a thought occurred to me: How can conservative Republicans, who value their privacy and hate big government, support this President?
And how am I supposed to call 1-800-HOT-ASIAN in peace?

But They Won A National Title!!!
From the UT web site:
"The University of Texas at Austin enjoys the reputation of providing a very liberal and socially progressive environment for its students, faculty and staff. This welcoming environment was recognized in the September 2004 issue of 'Out Magazine' when the University of Texas at Austin was named the best place in the nation for gay men to find a husband."
Proof.

My Life Is Complete
After emailing my self-created 16 second video clip of Jane McGarry to various people at The Ticket yesterday, my life is now complete.
While naked in shower this morning at approximately 6:40 a.m., I got to hear Gordon Keith of The Ticket say "Did anyone hear Jane McGarry the other night?" followed by three, count em, three plays of the exact 16 second clip that I had created.
No other life accomplishment can match that moment. I'm headed to the airport never to be heard from again. Jamaica sounds good.

Here is a page from an advertising insert for an Apple Computer in 1984.
It looks amazingly modern.
The entire ad can be viewed here. (Yep, there is a pic of a very young Bill Gates included.)

10:30 PM TV Watching
If anyone watched TV at 10:30 last night, you would have thought World War III had broken out in northern Collin County. It seems as though a tornado was spotted near the metropolis of Anna, which prompted all four local affiliates to go to DEFCON 5.
I'll bet tomorrow morning we will learn that there was little to minimal damage.
Triple Sheesh.
Edit upon the following morning: When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. That was some pretty dramatic footage of at least 13 homes destroyed.

Baseball Gives Me Confused Head
Just last week I bragged about Ranger's pitcher Kevin Millwood pitching a complete game.
I looked up a second ago and saw that tonight Millwood went one and one-third innings and gave up nine hits and nine earned runs.
When is the first college football game?
Random High School Golf Thought
As I look at the state championship golf scores in the Dallas Morning News, a question occurred to me: Is there cheating in high school golf?
Those on top of the leaderboard shoot in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Sure, those kids are great, but is there ever any fudging?

If I owned a race horse, I think I'd just name him "Bob."
And then we'd make fun of all the other horses' names.

Cell Phone Irritation
At least on Cingular, why does your cell phone prompt you that you have "missed a call" after you have already checked your voice mail and listened to it?
