John and Dottie have selfishly decided to take a four-week vacation! For they have tired of tasting wine and writing about it and must go somewhere to get away from this drudgery. I will agree that they have among, if not the best job in the whole world. Not that I don't think they work hard, for if the fruit of their efforts wasn't so consistently delightful, I wouldn't be so dismayed that I will be deprived of their clever column for the next four Fridays. I can only hope that they will return from their vacation with splendid stories to share in their next column.
I'd have to say I'm a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I respect him as bodybuilder, thespian, and individual. But I don't think I want him to be governor of California. I can't give a good reason for this. I don't think he'd be a bad governor, and he would certainly be an improvement over certain incumbent CA governors. Also, I don't live in CA, which is yet another reason for me to be neutral on its governorship. In summary, I don't know why I feel strongly enough about this in order to wish to share my thoughts with my loyal blog readers (both of you!!!). For this is something in which I have no vested interest and which is of no concern to me. Yet something about Arnold as governor gives me pause. And I really don't know why.

Here's a nice little excerpt: Girls also learn about the history of train molestation in Japan, which is generally regarded to have started in around 1912 as male commuters fondled female university students traveling on Tokyo's Yamanote Line, the line that loops around the capital.
To be a schoolgirl in Japan means almost certain sexual molestation at the hands of Japanese businessmen. Furthermore, this has been the case for many, many years. Just shy of a century. But, really, as Mr. Yabe of yesterday's post would tell you, American obsessiveness about appearance is a much more pressing issue.
The certain to go unheeded moral of this post is: People who live in glass houses, in which they sip glasses of fake human sweat after buying used panties out of a vending machine, shouldn't throw stones

This should serve as yet another reminder to all the idiots out there that you shouldn't let your supreme idiocy and gross lack of anything intelligent to say stop you from being really vocal. Get your uneducated opinions and wacky logic out there, for there are people that can't get enough rambling stupidity.
First, a Random Thought: We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell
So what we have here is overwhelming evidence that a product is safe and effective. Yet we also have this product being pulled from the shelves and various manufacturers being sued, threatened, or otherwise "persuaded" into discontinuing the use of it. Thank you, nannies.

There are people who believe that there are people who believe that ice cream is a low-calorie, low-fat staple of the daily diet. Said people must be protected from themselves, of course. And if there's money to be made under the guise of helping these helpless people, then so be it.
I rarely add to the Permanent, Irrevocable Shit List but since George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf III has demonstrated such unquestionable worthiness for addition to the list, he's just been placed on it. He also gets the Lifetime Achievement edition of the Pile of Steaming Terrier Excrement Award. The actual reward (cold terrier droppings with instructions for heating until steaming) will not be mailed to this particular winner, as I fear legal repercussions and other various forms of harassment would find me if I dared to send the actual prize.
