Today's Topic: Potpourri! update 9:28 PM EST
Katy Hipke & Mark Hoback
This morning's stories leave me nearly mute:
new photos from
Abu Ghraib,
escalation in the cartoon wars, new details on
Abramoff grip and grin sessions, and
Willie
Nelson's gay cowboy song. And then, I capped it off by reading about
Lucianne
Goldberg's love song to Dick Cheney at World O'Crap. Honestly, I wonder
why I even bother to make the news up. -mark
You don't care about the
Japanese Rising Obesity (not to be confused with popular tea ceremonies
Rising Sun and Rising Nationalism...)
My god, Mark, there is nothing funny about Hello Kitty backpacks riding
around on great quivering pink clad haunches. It's dangerous, actually, to
have piles of fat stacked on top of 6 inch platform converse tennis shoes.
Someone could get hurt and when the lable says Made In America...you know
who will get the blame....Why doesn't Willy Nelson address that little
social issue? "Asians are frequently, secretly fond of pure butter?"
"Mamasans Don't let Your Babies Grow Up On MacDonalds"
I know I am outraged. -katy
It got into the low sixties today, Katy, from the
low thirties on Monday. Understandably I'm a little late in getting your words
up. Independently wealthy friends decided that the first grilling of the year
should take place today to celebrate the weather. Burgers and beer on a balmy
February day - how could I refuse?
Been to any good process management meetings lately?
There is some good news out there in the world today, you know. It's not
all doom and gloom - that's just the way I usually feel about ten in the
morning. You've been to Gotham City, haven't you Katy? Then you probably know my
good friend Bruce Wayne, aka Batman. Guess what he's doing in his next graphic
novel?
Taking on Osama bin Laden, that's what.
Someone in this administration should have thought of that earlier.

Well, Mark, it's only 30 degrees here, but GOOD
NEWS! The Mormons are getting fat too!
"BYU Professor Steve Aldana said Mormons "have a lot of don'ts," but adds, "Boy,
do we eat.""
On average, Mormons weigh like 5 pounds more than their beer swilling pagan
neighbors (more like 20 in my hood) and are on the average 14% more likely to be
OBESE. FUCKING HUGE! And they RIDE BIKES!
So see, all that beer isn't a problem at all. Enjoy your barbeque, Mark.
Thank Jesus for me. And Buddha.
