Q. What did one volcano say to the other?
A. I lava you!

h2. Weapons of Mass Stupidity
An interesting rant about the state of the Nation. We’re all idiots. Nuff said. Read it and discuss.
PS. Apparently, reading this article earned someone a visit from the FBI.

Here’s the commercial the GOP “doesn’t want you to see.”
Personally, I think the message is overstated - there’s no reason to twist the knife, the Administration is already gushing blood quite nicely, thank you. By attaching this message to democrats.org it leaves the party open to the charges that no doubt are already coming from […]

On and off, for the past month or so, I’ve been working on a Web site for Sue’s company. This is, more or less, the first Web site I’ve built using XHTML and CSS from the ground up, and for an actual client no less.

Oh for a nice driving thunder storm to drive this humidity away!!!

It’s officially the lazy hazy days of summer. While not swatting biting buggies or swabbing the kinders with BugGoWay(tm), we’re hanging in our inflatable pool.
