Jumping on the "Hey, isn't George W. a dumbass" bandwagon is getting rather tiring (basically because it's everywhere. Lots of comedy fodder there). But I was watching an interview with him on CNN today and he said this, and I had to do a double take and make sure I wasn't missing something (which I usually am):

"[I went to Capitol Hill and I] spoke with Democrats and Republicans from both parties."

Had lunch yesterday at a Korean grill in Uwajimaya, and the wrapper around the chopsticks lists their hours as "Mon - Sun 10:30am - 9:00pm".

Carpet bombing. Doesn't sound like a bad thing, really. All I can imagine are giant rolls of carpets landing in a dusty meadow. Comes in handy if you need a place to lie down.

The Pavlovian Actor: No matter how many times the restroom is used before a show, an actor feels the need to urinate as soon as the "places" call is given.

Some people are getting up in arms over the news that groups of parents are holding "chicken pox" parties for their children. When one child comes down with the disease, they force social interaction to infect other children. Thus after a week of uncomfortable itching and scratching, a lifetime of immunity will be secure.

My babysitter when I was younger sort of did the same thing, except I don't think one ever becomes immune to head lice.

In Franklin Park, PA, a hunter shot and killed a reindeer which had escaped from a Chrismas display at a nearby store.

I don't know what's worse: Trigger happy hunters near busy marketplaces, or keeping live reindeer on display.

You never see "Sloppy Joes" on menus anywhere except school cafeterias.

Remember when the big news was the colorization of black and white movies? You never hear about that anymore.

It was the "New Coke" of the film industry.

From the Seattle P-I:
Regarding the second successive loss to the Yankees in the American League Championship Series, [Mariners' CEO Howard] Lincoln told the crowd, "I'm getting awfully, awfully tired of walking over to George Steinbrenner's suite to offer congratulations. I don't think I can handle another meeting with George."

In a story about the rarity of Seattle's dual powered diesel/electric Italian-made Breda Metro busses: "There are 236 Bredas in the world, and they are all here," [some Metro big-wig] said. "They are not like a Chevy Biscayne."

"They are not like a Chevy Biscayne"? Are they like...uh...a Ford Falcon? A Plymouth Fury perhaps? What's his point? That, unlike Breda busses, the Biscaynes are all over the place?
