Vaccine Still Working

Yes, the vaccine that protects Americans from World Cup fever is still working. Granted it took a couple of years for my kids immunity to kick in but the signs of protection are definitely at work now...
Dad: "Hey, guys what sports do you want to play this year? You played soccer and baseball for the last two."
Boys: "Baseball and basketball."
Dad: "Not soccer?"
Boys: "It's boring. You just run around and don't do anything."

It's was also noticably kicking in during this conversation.
Dad: "Hey guys, the international Soccer championship tournament is on TV starting this week!"
Boys: "So?"

And it seems, due to the ratings, the vaccine still works on most of the country. Gotta love good old American medical knowhow for protecting us from this disease that obvioulsy has held back the rest of the world.

What If...

It was Jesus?


Jesus pleads guilty to DUI in plea deal
WASHINGTON (AP) - Already under the prying eye of the media, Jesus now finds himself being watched by the courts as well.
By pleading guilty to driving under the influence of prescription drugs, Jesus ensured that court officials will closely monitor every step of his recovery - from weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to random urine screenings for drug abuse to sessions with his AA sponsor and his doctor.
"I've always said that I wanted to accept full responsibility for my actions," Jesus, D-R.I., said outside the District of Columbia courthouse Tuesday amid a swarm of reporters and television cameras. "Today in court, I did just that. I accepted the consequences of my actions."
Alongside his lawyer, the Son of God, D-Mass., appeared before District of Columbia Superior Court Magistrate Judge Aida Melendez and pleaded guilty to the one DUI charge. Melendez sentenced him to court-ordered drug treatment and a year's probation.
Jesus also has to meet regularly with a "qualified psychiatrist to monitor mood symptoms, anxiety and use of psychotropic prescription medications," according to court documents. Aides said he will lose his driving privileges in Washington for six months.
Jesus notified the Rhode Island division of motor vehicles Tuesday about the D.C. revocation and expects his Rhode Island license will also be revoked, aides said.
D.C. Attorney General Robert Spagnoletti said the agreement was fair and in the best interests of the district. "Jesus has been treated like any other citizen found guilty of driving under the influence, and he will be expected to comply with the conditions of his probation," Spagnoletti said in a written statement.

Time Waster Tuesday

In honor of Steelers QB "Big Ben" Rothlisberger:

Today's Time Waster

Football

My brother said it all about the world cup in an insane rant on another site:
"The big story from ESPN today from the world cup is that there was a major upset today when Sweden only got a tie in their game against some small country. It wasn't a tie or an upset. The score was 0-0. Did they even play a game? How in the world is that a major upset? No one scored a goal. This sport is horrible. Also 3 games where played today with a total of 5 goals scored in all the games combined. You guys who are watching this sport are sick."
You watch soccer, you are sick. Man law?

Deep Thoughts

The Da Vinci code controversy has been full of dumb people with dumb comments so I thought I'd post one of my favorites and join the frey!

Tom Walmsley, who teaches religion and philosophy at Linn-Benton Community College, said he rarely reads fiction but he agreed to review "The da Vinci Code" for a gathering at the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library last year. "I couldn't put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it," he said.
Walmsley said a second reading to prepare for his talk revealed more of the factual errors drawing criticism, but he said the book's discrepancies don't bother him. "Anybody who knows anything about religion knows he (Brown) makes plenty of mistakes, but the errors are not that important," Walmsley said. "What is important is what if his story about Jesus is true, that Jesus and Mary had a sexual relationship and they had a child whose descendants are still living today? Suppose the story we've been told about the beginning of the early church has been wrong?"

Wow! That's brillant professor!
Hey, did you know Hitler actually won WWII and had plastic surgery to become JFK? Now the errors in my statement aren't that important. What is important is what if it's true?
Oh, and, and, did you hear that Haley's Comet brought aliens who will wisk you away to heaven if you wear Nikes and this jumpsuit? Now the errors in my statement aren't that important. What is important is what if it's true?
Man, this is fun, let me try one more. Did you know that complete morons can become college professors and be invited to speak in public? Oh, wait, that's true. Boy, that sucks.

The End is Near...

No I'm not refering to my blog. Seeing as how 6-6-6 just passed I thought it was time for a check of the infamous Rapture Index. Go ahead take a look. According to their scale at the bottom of the site we are in a category "hold onto you seatbelt" time. But, we've only had a net change of +1. I thought that wasn't bad after such a Satanic day as 666. Then I noticed it... THE SITE HASN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE 6-5-6!!!!!! What the heck is going on? Did we miss it? Have they all been raptured? Dang, I knew I shouldn't have mocked that book series. The movie starred Kirk Cameron, I should have known it was accurate!
So, please check in by replying here if you are still on planet earth. I have no doubt why I'm still here and I figure I should hear from the Canadian and James. But it will be interesting to see how many others have also been left behind. Oh, and also report if you haven't seen that certain "goody-two-shoes" since Tuesday.

What If...

...it was filet-o-fish?

Blanco expected to sign strict filet-o-fish law soon

Associated Press
BATON ROUGE -- Gov. Kathleen Blanco was expected to sign a strict filet-o-fish ban into law after the Senate on Monday gave the measure final legislative approval.
Blanco has said she planned to sign the bill that would ban nearly all filet-o-fish in Louisiana, though only if the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 filet-o-fish rights ruling is overturned. The bill by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, could only take effect under two circumstances: the U.S. Constitution is amended to allow states to ban filet-o-fish; or the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.
Under the measure, doctors found guilty of serving filet-o-fish would face up to 10 years in prison and fines of $100,000.
Originally, the bill would have allowed filet-o-fish only to save the life of a mother, with no exceptions for victims of rape or incest. The House added a provision to allow filet-o-fish in cases where the mother's health faces permanent harm.
The Senate voted 27-0 to approve the change and send it to Blanco.
