What should have happened around this time last year:
Bush (to Iraqi military/militia)
"All your base are belong to us!"
Bush (to S.H.)
"You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time."

FIVE
Five things I really hate:
1. when orange juice turns sour
2. cleaning the George Foreman
3. when people leave their porchlight on during the day
4. the sound of a fork scraping on a dish
5. the expression "anywhoo"

I'm with you on the George Forman. I stopped using it long ago for exactly that reason. My #1 is people in the left lane on the highway doing
less than the posted speed limit.

My #1 is people in online forums who say "hon" or "hun." Such as "hang in there hun." Especially when it's not a 60 year old person, but a 19 year old someone who hasn't a darn clue about the subject in which they are telling you to hang on through. Just pounds on my very last nerve.

Pour or run really hot water on the grill (hang it over the edge of the sink), and most of the crud wipes right off.

Grrr...that "anyhoo" really ticks me off, too...I don't understand what it is supposed to mean, or how it is humourous, chummy, or otherwise clever.

As for cleaning the Foreman grill - I have only one comment - warm grill (do just after it has cools a bit, or plug in 1 minute), wooden popsicle stick to clean out the cracks, and a paper towel. Works like a champ.

George Foreman grill.
As soon as you finish cooking, take a few paper towels, wet them, then lay them on the grill. Close the lid and enjoy your dinner. As soon as you are finished eating, take out the paper towels, and wipe down the grill.
Makes life a lot easier.

Clean the foreman while it is warm to hot, use wet paper towels. The gunk wipes right off.

My technique is similar; I have a spray bottle of water which I use to augment the above techniques.

PARODY
As I watched
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut the other night, a parody formed in my mind:
Men, when youÂ’re out there, in the battlefield, and youÂ’re looking into the beady eyes of an insurgent as he charges you with his bootleg DVD (or whatever he has), and people are dying all around you, just remember what the Left says: "Horrific, deplorable Iraqi civilian deaths are OK, as long as Saddam caused them and not the USA." That is what this war is all about!

I haven't watched the South Park movie since it first came out (and I was one of perhaps ten people in an otherwise empty theatre - I guess Hawaii didn't grok it!). So I don't know what lines you're parodying.
I think that "Horrific, deplorable Iraqi civilian deaths are OK, as long as Saddam caused them and not the USA" is a bit much, because the Leftist view, as I understand it, is that Saddamocide is bad, but Americide is WORSE. How many Leftists have ever said that death-by-Saddam is "OK"? Few people want Iraqi civilian deaths. One issue among many in this war was how to prevent as many deaths as possible. Was armed force necessary, or could the staggering might of diplomats do the trick? You know my answer.

I suspect that it IS real, but the perspective somehow makes it appear much larger...to my knowledge, those ugly mofos only grow to about (!) six inches or so...but the one in this picture looks more like two feet.

LAUGH
Got a funny email forward today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AND THE # 1 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You read about all these terrorists --- most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas, some for as long as 10 -15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster; you are two days late with a video and those people are all over you. Let's put Blockbuster in charge of immigration...
I needed a laugh today.

JOKE
But before I get in bed...got this joke in an email from a relative...
Little David was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc. David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, "He works for the Kerry campaign, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

The following article from Newsmax.com tell a different story how "The Passion" affected a bank robber. Funny how this was not mentioned in the other article.
'The Passion' Prompts Robber to Surrender, Couple to Batter
Guess which one of these stories made the national news wires:
A bank robber turns himself in after seeing Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."
A couple get arrested for slapping the hell out of each other after seeing Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."
The first story, naturally, appeared only in our local paper.
The Palm Beach Post reported today that "the money went fast, while the guilt and paranoia remained" after James Anderson robbed a bank of $25,000 more than two years ago in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He surrendered because "he was stirred deeply after watching The Passion of the Christ and felt compelled to come clean."
Strong Word of Mouth
"He said, 'I saw The Passion, and that made my decision,'" said Paul Miller, a spokesman for the sheriff's office. "And he sort of urged [the detective] to see the movie too."
Palm Beach Gardens police Sgt. Richard Geist was more skeptical. "He's looking for medical attention he doesn't have to pay for. That, and he's probably tired of living out on the streets."
Meanwhile, in Statesboro, Ga., Melissa and Sean Davidson got far more publicity for getting into a violent post-movie debate over whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity is human or symbolic.
After a fight that included Davidson being stabbed with scissors, they called police on each other. Both were charged with simple battery.
"It was the dumbest thing we've ever done," Mrs. Davidson said.
Gene McDaniel, chief sheriff's deputy, said: "Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it. I think they missed the point."

Sarah,
I've been reading you for a while, thanks to Tim. My daughter has been in Baghdad with the 1AD since the beginning of May. As far as the phone situation goes I (finally) realized today that MANY of the phone systems (including those at my daughter's base) may have been shut down in order to protect troop movements. There are so many traveling in & out these days.
Just a thought...please know you & your husband are in my thoughts & prayers every day...as are all of our soldiers everywhere. Thank you for your service ("giving up" a spouse is a HUGE service) and his to our country.
Keep blogging, you bless me every day!
Beckie Proud Army Mom of Sarah/Baghdad with the 1AD.

BRIBES
An Instapundit reader is concerned that bloggers could be
bribed to change their vote. Just for the record here, no amount of
DVDs could get me to vote for Kerry. Not even a box set or an expensive collectors' edition or anything. Plus, I already own the
Holy Trilogy, so what more could I ask for?

Any blogger caught taking such bribes - or even suspected of taking them - is toast. The word will spread, hits will go up for the wrong reason, and inboxes will fill with hate mail.
Not that I think Soros et al. will bother with the average Blogspotter. There are only a handful of remotely influential bloggers worth paying off: Reynolds, Sullivan, Den Beste. But anti-Kerry sentiment trumps their devotion to key bloggers' cults. If any of those guys went pro-Kerry, few but the most slavish devotees would follow in their tainted footsteps.
