I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Joe Reduxs and might not re-duck

So now Joe the Plumber is working for a conservative website. Wait, he's a conservative? Could have knocked me over with a feather. And that conservative website is so happy with him they're sending him to Gaza to cover the war.

You know, the non-jounralist who probably doesn't have any combat experience. His friends are sending him into a combat zone. As Dr. Zoidberg said, "With friends like this, who needs anemones?"

I wonder how well those journalist credentials from a website will work?

Personally I love some of the interviews he's given about it. You know, like how, as a Christian, he knows God will protect him, so he doesn't really need a bullet proof vest. And then there's the one about not being a real journalist but being an expert in media bias, because, you know, that'll help him so much covering a war zone.

Sometimes watching those episodes of Nature on PBS, I find myself routing for the lions. Go lions, go.

Anybody else see a Darwin Awards recipient in the making?

Oh, yeah.

After Palin, I think most republicans should get a Darwin Award.

Vince, I might have to check the nomination requirements myself.

Now Jerry, some of them have a brain. Just not the social conservatives, who have a champion in Palin.
