While driving, I heard the first report that Nicholas Berg's body had been returned to the US. I wondered out loud - what about the head? I did this many times that day as it went around on the various news channels. I am still wondering about the head.
Jesus ate and drank but did not defecate.

Yes, it is wonderful that the church cleared that up; but what about all the other bodily functions? I must say, I am impressed that they cared enough to clear that detail up. What have they had to say about wet dreams? I'm sure someone has mentioned that.
Al is a mean cocksucker for sure but I can't help noticing that he gets out of bed in the morning, in his obviously unlaundered long-johns and proceeds to piss in a chamber pot. He is getting back-splash all over his feet. Try it and then tell me I'm wrong. Louis XIV at Versailles, used to piss out the window and try to hit someone walking by. I would have written that into Deadwood - can't you see Al doing that? They should have consulted me.
One of the best boxing ring names I have heard in a long time: "Concrete" - Kind of sums it up. "And then, I makes the mutha-fucka kiss the curb"
"Blood Meridian" is now available as a "modern library" edition in hardback. Harold Bloom has written the introduction. Makes me want to take his class at Yale.
I am so happy that gas prices have gone up so I can have the pleasure of laughing at the assholes driving SUV's to pick up bread and milk at the grocery store. I have been waiting to find one of those monsters with a save the enviroment bumper sticker or something similar. Guns are a good thing.
As President I would raise the gas price to $5.00 a gallon and use the extra to undo the damage that little w has done to the economy. The whiney business men who cry foul because they use there "cars" for business? Fuck em. They can write it off on their taxes. Poor people? Around here they take the bus or walk to "work". Lets keep in mind - the excess from the gas tax. I think I can figure out how to cover the truely disadvantaged.
Why do we face the doors on elevators? I have taken to getting in a corner away from the doors and making sobbing noises. Makes the trip much more interesting.
How about those Minnesota Twins!
On the physics of pissing: now I know I ain't no expert, but it seems to me that the problem with Al's chamberpot is the same problem you have if you're an an adult male of normal height pissing into the wheelchair accessible urinal. Thanks to the acceleration of gravity, the velocity of the falling piss at impact with the target container is directly proportional to the altitude from which the piss flow starts. Thus, greater impact velocity results in a stronger splashback effect. Whenever I forget this, and for some reason pee in the handicapped urinal, I am rudely reminded -- especially when wearing light-color pants.
However, I don't think Mr. Al "Now that's how you scrub a fucking bloodstain" Swearengen gives a fuck if a few urine drops land on his long johns, or on the floor.
