Morning Has Broken

Peace Activist Cat Stevens deemed a threat. Despite the fact that:

In a statement on his Web site, he wrote, “Crimes against innocent bystanders taken hostage in any circumstance have no foundation whatsoever in the life of Islam and the model example of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.”

After the Sept. 11 attacks, Islam issued a statement saying: “No right thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action: The Quran equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity.”

Of course, this all makes sense to John “Orwell” Ashcroft. War is Peace, right?

I really don't understand where all the "libertarians" are these days. Too busy battling smoking and gun laws to be concerned about government exercising prejudice and fear, I suppose.

Two Years Down, Forever To Go

Please feel free to congratulate Mrs. ETJB for sticking it out with the original ETJB for 2 years. Pretty good, huh?
(Please don't say anything to mess it up for me)>

Abrianna Go-Go Boots: The Legend Continues

The other nite, Mrs. ETJB and I succumbed to the 5-5-5 Dominos deal after their intense marketing campaign. When the delivery guy arrived, he asked, “Is that your cat? “
“Yes”, says Mrs. ETJB.
“Well, she just treed that raccoon. I heard them fussing and hissing and I saw the raccoon scramble up that tree.”
Once outside, I looked up and saw a very sad raccoon looking back at me. Part coon dog, part domestic tabby, Boots strolled inside, not wanting to press her luck, I suppose.
Not since the days of Where The Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller, has man seen a trusty companion like this cat.

Don't You Mean Schmuck Monster?

I’ve written about the building project outside my window here and here. Yesterday, I watched the unfortunately named PUTZMEISTER which was stretched out and sucking and pumping.

Exciting day at work, I know.

I agree with Gwadzilla in theory about Hizzoner.

But to me, as always, politics is local. Give the people what they vote for. BTW, isn't it a good thing that 3 challengers won?

Question: If DC had full representation, do you still think its people would act out defiantly?

The DCist has a good wrap-up.

Why? Cause it'll drive 'em crazy!

OK friends: Let's start the rumor that this whole Clinton heart thing is some sort of staged, Machiavellian strategy (probably designed by Hillary) to enable Kerry to win the election. I don't know how, but it's what's going on.

UPDATE: It's starting!

Gwadzilla and ETJB Reunite: The True Story

You know, in small dosages, the big kid isn't that bad. Although, sometimes he hops from story to story so fast, I have trouble keeping up.

Yes, it is true, ETJB and Gwadzilla hiked with the dogs yesterday after work in Rock Creek Park, just like old times. About 15 miles. Under 2 hours. Ok, kilometers. Anyway, it was good to catch up.

Hey Gwadzilla, I forgot to ask: was this you?
A 6-foot-tall, 275-pound bearded man crashed a children's birthday party in Oak Forest, identified himself as "vengeance," then helped himself to a piece of cake, police said.

ETJB and all his reader(s) wish Gwadzilla good luck, lightening speed, and favorable weather on his 100-mile bike race this weekend. You one crazy b-tard.

Sit Down Istook

Remember those stories of Republican "owners" of the District who work to stifle free speech? Well, they lost again.

So it's free speech when you agree with it? When it agrees with your christian way of life? Pathetic, Ernest. Please take the first jackass back to Oklahoma.

Personalized tag spotted on a Corvair on the Ohio Turnpike last Friday.

I agree with the sentiment, but for different reasons.
