Well, far out. David Cook won AI. I didn't see it, since I was asleep before 9:00 last night, but my wife told me when she came to bed and I got the details here. I guess Simon even apologized to Cook for his harsh words. As for me, I'll probably frame the $5 winnings as a reminder to everyone in my family that I'm the best when it comes to drawing names out of a hat.

Ah, that's why they call my wife a bulldog. An American Bulldog has given birth to a record-breaking litter. Kaiser gave birth to twenty pups - the average is ten.

You'll have to read it to believe it: "I'm not sick and I don't want to hurt anyone, cars are just my preference." Very sick stuff, but it's the liberal creed: "Harm none, and do as thou want." As long as you stay within those broad swaths, you're free to do whatever you want, both legally and morally. There are good arguments to support the idea that such things ought to be legal, but that doesn't mean we have to condone them morally and treat them as normal. This freak oughtta be scoffed out of town, but we've taken the liberal creed and forced it down society's throat in all areas, not must the legal. The result: This is just his thing. It's alright. Just be careful where you sit in his car.

The law of unintended consequences: Study confirms drunk driving fatalities are rising in areas that enact smoking bans in bars. Every law brings an unintended consequence, and the consequence is often worse than the ill addressed by the legislation. If legislators just kept that principle in mind, there'd be far less legislation.
