Insh' Allah.

Today, America and the rest of the industrialized world took an enormous step in advacing the cause of peace. An agreement with Iran to limit their nuclear program stands in the best interest of the entire world. While not perfect, no agreement would have left Iran unfettered to store up enough plutonium for some futre leader to use rashly, to the detriment oof millions of human beings.

Cue up the predictable ranting and raving among the American Dinosaurs. Idjuts. Me, I'm strapping on the headphones grooving the Dead and waiting for the evening news.

May you live in teresting times.\

Insh' Allah.

TOM MORELLO aka THE NIGHTWATCHMAN "SAVE THE HAMMER FOR THE MAN" AT COMIC...

Who knew...

... there was an Indiana in Pennsylvania and that they had a University with a men's basketball team in the Division 2 national title game?

As a resident of Central Florida, I knew about Florida Southern College with several buildings designed by Frank Floyd Wright.

 Did not, however, know the College men's basketball team would play for and win the Daivision 2 championship.  Yay! Moccasains!

Terrorism: Direct Flights to Arab Emrates

Stupid Crrok News; Wait, this might make most enterprising crooks ever!

Look, as a society with rule of law, we do not condone thievery, and seek to jail thieves, even if they do steal a $100,000 worth of toothbrushes.  What did the thieves, Clint and Mary Curtis, do, walk in Walgreen's and stick bushels of toothbrushes down their pants.

Also, where did they sell their purloined wares?  As for me, common sense dictates using great care in selecting what to put in my mouth, and will buy mine at Walgreen's thank you very much.

Buying toothbrushes at a flea market or out of the trunk of a car?  No bloody way!

My Intervention

My family staged an intervention for me.  They asked me to start drinking again.

"You get really mean when sober."

"You use sarcasm because you can't speak honestly when sober."

"When sober, you act like a real ass."

This from people related to me by blood who don't know me.

Thanks, guys.

Danny Trejo, from San Quentin prison to actor

Trejo, who has his own brand of movies--the Machete series--uttered the immortal line, "Machete don't text."  Also, turns out he has quite an interesting back story.
