The following is the second most bizarre thing to arrive in my spam box today, but hands down the most stupid:
Kimball2002: Already Up 0.52 (24.53%) Today
If I understand correctly, this spam indicates that not only has my sophomore dormitory (Kimball) become a publicly traded company, but its stock has gone up 24.53%.
It kind of saddens […]
Today’s installment of David Copperfield spam has a strangely melancholy tone:
foreshadowing of what she would be to me, in the calamity that was […] He replied, a wedding. And theyll all hate me for taking her away.
No images or stock quotes or anything this time. Seriously, the Spam Dickens had better tell me what he […]
You know those optical illusions that could be an old lady or a young lady depending on your point of view? Well here’s another one.
Is the U.S. Army “breaking”?
Or is it “ready”?

Today lighthearted day for The Annalog. Why? You might well ask. Our armed forces are stretched to the breaking point in Iraq just when we might need them in Iran. Our president refused to disclose, not only which of us he is spying on, but what he was doing while New Orleans flooded. We can’t […]

I’m issuing today’s rhetoric citation to President Bush for four statements he made at Kansas State University today:

A candidate for the Saddest Story Ever Award was eliminated from the running yesterday when the Board of Freeholders of Ocean County New Jersey voted to extend pension benefits to the female partner of dying policewoman Laurel Hester. Hester had terminal lung cancer, and without benefits her partner would have been not only widowed but […]
This NYT hed is rather apt:
I know that ‘terror’ here refers to the War on Terror and not the terror in the hearts of Americans, which Bush and Rove have been exploiting for years, and which has grown to such enormous proportions that one of our worst characteristics now defines us.
Yeah, Rove probably won’t […]
Here’s Karl Rove on Democrats:
“Let me be as clear as I can be: President Bush believes if Al Qaeda is calling somebody in America, it is in our national security interest to know who they’re calling and why,” Mr. Rove said, referring to the program in which the National Security Agency eavesdropped on conversations without […]
My posts have been sparse this week as writer’s block has plunged me into a pool of self-loathing. This morning I was starting to feel better — until I checked my email and found this message:
Don’t be inadequate anymore!
The sender? William Nelson. It’s a sad day when the guy who recorded “Beer For My Horses” […]
