Where to begin... This has been the craziest day I can remember. I just quit my job at the Pasta Grill (due to a bounced paycheck, among many other things...), got into a fight with the monkey-brains down at my friendly neighborhood Fifth Third Bank (over said bounched check), closed my account with aforementioned bank, and saved the world all in one day.

How did I save the world, you ask? Well, Johnny, it's complicated. You can read about it in my biography some day, but I don't have time to explain it right now ;-)

What I do have time to explain is my love for Ann Coulter. I'm glad BadAdam has taken the time to comment on some of the quotes I've posted in the last few days. I love the engagement. See, I am in the middle of reading all of Ann Coulter's books (I'm halfway through Treason right now). I don't necessarily agree with her on every point, and I do think that she discredits herself with her incessant, often senseless name-calling, but the assertion that she doesn't have anything worthwhile to write about is, at best, untrue. She hits the nail on the head with regard to the gross negligence of mainstream media in presenting unbiased, adversarial press coverage to the people of this country. She has a right to be angry about it as well. And so do I, but at least I'm mentally liberated enough to discern "news" from "bull$#@!" with fairly raw accuracy. The problem - Ann's source of frustration, and the behemoth from which she derives justification for her derisive language - is that the vast majority of Americans, whether by misguided apathy or turnip-truck credulity, allow the New York Times editorial staff (et al) to take them by the hand and right into the polls (and wherever else they'd like to escort the American "public").

I've always shared Ann's indignance toward this (atrocious) "phenomenon". Iraq ratified its Constitution on Tuesday, while on that same day the 2,000th American casualty in Iraq was reported. What was the Associated Press's headline for the day? "2,000th Soldier Killed", or something to that effect. Papers across the country repeated the headline. You don't think this effects the way the people of this country feel? Of course it does. That's the game plan.

I'm disgusted right now. I don't want to talk about the New York Times any more.

As for global warming, I have decided to write a research paper on the topic so I can clear up lots of conflicting facts I've heard over the last 20 years or so. I need to better found my opinions before I comment on the subject. I'll post the paper on here whenever I finish it, but don't expect it soon. I intend to do a lot of research.

That's all I've got for now. I'm going to go spend my new-found free time finishing Treason and then I'm going to go run. What a day. What a day.
