- If there was any doubt in my mind before, it's been banished from my mind. Donald Rumsfeld and George W. Bush want to rule the world. It wasn't enough that we overran Iraq, but now they're making noises at Iran -- I guess they figure while we're in the neighborhood, we might as well take care of some business... - Is it just me, or is every single commercial on TV today for some kind of drug? And people wonder why viruses like SARS can spring up -- it's because we're all running out to our doctors to ask for drugs we don't need, and all these viruses build up immunities to it. I wonder whether companies start buying ads for marijuana on TV if the government'll eventually legalize it because people will start believing they need some. - That earthquake in Japan? I didn't see any damage from it. I'm thinking maybe it was just a concerted prank by camera operators all over Japan to shake their video cameras all at the same time to make it look like an earthquake was happening. You know, kind of like those old episodes of the original series of Star Trek where, in order to simulate the Enterprise getting hit by weaponry, the camera operators would shake the cameras and the actors would bounce around in their seats in unison.
