I see London, I see France, I see Saddam's Underpants

Why is Saddam in his knickers news? CNN.com is taking the stance that it was wrong to publish the photograph, but they're still showing it on their website, aren't they?

I'm surprised There isn't a caption contest somewhere for the photo. You know, something like, "Saddam has a package for you", or "the eternal question, boxers or briefs, is finally answered.

Okay, so I'm not clever with captions.

Anyway - I personally think this makes him more human, if anything, and I don't see how publishing a photo of their former leader in his unmentionables is going to weaken the resistance, or insergents, or whatevever we're calling them.

I can always tell if there is an accident or something on one of the nearby main roadways, because our street gets bumper to bumper traffic full of people trying to avoid the bumperto bumper traffic on the other roads. Yesterday our road was full, but not because of an accident, but because of some drugged up 28 year old in an expensive car. It's kind of a funny story, really.

I was watching The Daily Show repeat yesterday, and there was a clip about education budget cuts in California being supported by the Governator.

Now I know The Daily Show isn't the best source of news, since it is primarily a comedy show, so please tell me that "Ahanald" didn't actually justify the cuts by saying people just need to learn to spend within their means.

Setting aside the fact this little piece of advice is coming from a multi-millionare whose means would encompass quite a lot, it seems like saying 'just do without the things you would like to have to give the kids a quality education. They don't need updated equipment or new text books, just make do with what you have."

Wondering vaguely if I'd ever be considered a MILF

Jon Stewart made a MILF joke on Daily Show the other day, and I was reminded of a story my friend told me by a very young co-worker of hers that she was a MILF, and she didn't know what it was, and neither did I, and we had a good laugh when we found out. She really is a MILF. Me...not so much.

Maybe 10 years ago I would be. (despite the fact I wasn't a mother 10 years ago) but I think I'm too flabby at this point to inspire lust in anyone under the age of 35.

Ahem. Anyway...

I'm going to Dave and Busters tonight. It's very nice -I'm being taken out for my birthday, which isn't until Tuesday, but no law saying I can't celebrate the day before, right?

D&B is an interesting place - when I worked for PricewaterhouseCooper ages ago, we used to hold a dinner there for each training group, since they had come into Philly from all over the world. I would go and sometimes bring Charlie, who was around 2 1/2 at the time.

Let me tell you; you won't know the meaning of the word fear until you are standing in the middle of a crowded resturant/arcade hall and have lost your 2 1/2 Autistic son who doesn't speak. The people who worked there were fabulous though - they sent every person out on the floor and just combed the place until he was found.

Come on, 5 o'clock. I wanna go home!

I should never click on news stories that have the name "President Bush" in them because it's just going to piss me off and make me want to yell at my computer screen.

Supremely cool but slightly complicated birthday present

Well, not complicated so much frustrating.

My friends (the mommies of Charlie's best friend) got me an MP3 player for my birthday! It is a Memorex MMP3642 and it is made of awesomeness, but the problem is my home computer is made of suckiness and won't download the software because it needs upgrades, or something.

I'm trying right now to download some windows updates that the thing is saying it needs, but it is taking foever and ever and ever, and it is rather frustrating.

And what's the deal with downloading music? Still illegal is it? To do it for free, I mean.

At any rate, it is a really super cool present, and I'm very excited, and hopefully I'll get the software to work and then I will have lots of songs to listen to on this little tiny thing.

And Dave and Busters was fun, and Charlie played this one game that was kind of a wheel of fortune type of thing, and he wound up getting a bunch of tickets.

Charlie wants to type something.

244 tickets is alot to win a prize . But I was tierd .
