| Free Prose...Wednesday? |
No, it's not Friday; but I plan to take a four-day sabbatical from blogging. I will be spending time with family, a refrigerator full of leftovers and a bottle of Mylanta.
1. I know it's way too late to weigh in on the Katrina Hurricane. But this subject just caught my attention. In the flurry of bad reporting during the disaster, a British conspiracy nut named Leo Sheridan reported that 36 US Navy dolphins armed with "toxic dart" guns were missing in the Gulf of Mexico. It was reported that the dolphins had been trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint underwater spies. You can read more on this ridiculous report here.
The story is a bunch of bunk. I mean, since the United States spends roughly $425 billion on defense we'd obviously have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
2. And since we're on the subject of Katrina: Did you know that none of the New Orleans public schools (102 of the 117 schools were performing below the state average) are open? But 8 of the 35 private Catholic schools are back teaching less than three months after the hurricane. In which grade do you learn to spell "voucher"?
3. By my count, there will be about 30 people at the annual Thanksgiving gathering. Wow! That's awesome!
4. I like to say the name Mikimoto.
5. Yes, to be right all of the time is a thankless task. |
