Ow my head. I feel much better about my writing now.

Why does George W. Bush still have an approval rating around 40%? Because about 40% of the American people are ignorant dumbasses:

"Do you think Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was DIRECTLY involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, or not?" Taken Sept. 2-4 [2004 -ed].

"Yes"=42%

"No"=44%

"Unsure"=14%

(This is without even getting into Gallup's unrelated polling wackiness.)

And, beating out the Hon. Alex Kozinski's "The parties are advised to chill" (Aqua vs. Mattel Corp, aka "the 'Barbie Girl' case") in the category of Coolest Judicial Statement Ever, we have the following, sadly anonymous, trademark opinion:

When the undersigned accepted the appointment from the President of the United States of the position now held, he was ready to face the daily practice of law in federal courts with presumably competent lawyers. No one warned the undersigned that in many instances his responsibility would be the same as a person who supervised kindergarten. Frankly, the undersigned would guess the lawyers in this case did not attend kindergarten as they never learned how to get along well with others. . . .

The Court simply wants to scream to these lawyers, 'Get a life' or 'Do you have any other cases?' or 'When is the last time you registered for anger management classes?' . . . In the event it is not clear from the above discussion, the Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED."

Semester eating me alive, as expected. I have (most of) a cast for my directing scene, and I think I'm actually no more than a week behind in all my classes now. Saw the rain and decided not to bother leaving the house yesterday, which I think was a good call.

Lord, I can use this weekend. At least I'll have Donkey Konga to chill with. And maybe I can finally finish Strange & Norrell. And get the booklog caught up. And do some work on my second playwriting play. And and and.

I will avoid all the political stuff. And discuss eBay since I am too stupid to discuss politics as a Bush supporter.

Anyway, WTF? That Ebay writer seems a bit, well, arrogant? I think you should put in a bid for $.01.

I was going to say that it was a high school kid until I read the part about living in an apartment for 9 years supporting his three children....

It was a bit too early in the morning for me, so I eventually synthesized it to A) a high school kid with two siblings and an inability to express himself in English, or B) a high school kid with some major delusions about his characters. Neither really passes the Occam's Razor test, but the obvious explanation certainly isn't any nicer.
