Someone stole Michael Moore's cap! Undoubtedly, the perpetrator is a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy against him.

Hmmm, Bradbury's pissed. So here we have it. Proof that not all is wrong in the universe.

Moore's not worried, though. Pshaw! Who cares if the title of "Fahrenheit 9/11" might be a form of plagerism? Moore has more important things to worry about, like the vast right-wing conspiracy to malign his docu-op-ed piece and ruin his "good" reputation.

...when asked about Lewinsky affair. Pakistan's Daily Times reports the same thing. But why in the world would that make the former prez so snippity?

BBC Washington correspondent Justin Webb says this indicates the difference between this interview and the bland questions Mr Clinton has faced during recent interviews in the US, where former presidents are treated with a degree of reverence.
As for Clinton's memoir, which is what has prompted his reemergence into the spotlight, the New York Times calls it "sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull." Therefore, it's guaranteed to sell a million copies.

Baby shower planning and etiquette

Written on Sunday, June 20, 2004 by Jessica

In Babycenter.com's article, Baby shower planning and etiquette, they encourage you to ignore the traditional advice about who should throw the baby shower--and the traditional (formal) advice is that "someone who's not a relative must throw the shower to avoid having it look as though the family is asking for presents." This baffles and amazes me. I've always assumed it was the job of a sister, sister-in-law, etc. to throw the shower. I'm throwing my best friend's shower, but I only agreed after I knew for sure her sister couldn't do it. I agree. Ignore Miss Manners.

Peter's Evil Overlord List is worth a look. It's the "Top 100 Things I'd Do if I Were an Evil Overlord" (or something like that). One of my favorites: If an advisor says to me, "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?" I will reply, "This," and kill the advisor. (Number 46)

Wow.

I stumbled across Finite Monkeys via Slashdot. Andrew Yahner, the blogger, creates poetry by cutting and pasting spam. Sigh. I've been thinking like mad, trying to come up with something creative for my blog, but I'm blank. And then there's people like Andrew out there reminding me just how insipid I really am.

The Knitting Curmudgeon greets you with, "Shut up, I'm counting." Why are all the other bloggers so funny? My friends think I'm funny in person, so why don't I have the wit to write a really good blog?
