Thing is, I’m not sure if I’m okay with the Democratic Presidential nominee being so friendly with “Rami Salami the Clown”, even if he wasn’t tight with Anton Lavey.

A bit of newsroom humor ends up unexpectedly on the air, with dire results for chickens everywhere.

I think I saw Julia Child do this in 1981 or something.

Trembling, we thank him for the sequined tank top.

I visited my psychiatrist today. I like playing “what are YOU in for?” in the waiting room. He shares offices with at least four other psychiatrists and I have no idea what specialties they practice. Some regulars are the father and son who are trying to fake a reasonably good relationship; an assortment of very twitchy young women; a guy who is very loud and friendly to everyone; and several people who are very old.

The unhappy father and son were here today, discussing military hardware. The father doesn’t know very much, and the son kept asking him gimmes like “when did they send off the atomic bomb” and Dad would say “oh, a pretty long time ago, a while ago.”

My doctor was very late, and the patient before me was finally wheeled out 30 minutes after I should have been seen. The guy looked 100 years old, was in wheelchair, and had one foot in a foam brace. He barely responded to stimuli. This guy needs a psychiatrist? He needs a big jar of Vicodin and a place to die.

I got a new drug which is called Cymbalta. This is either the site of a battle between the Turks and the Serbs in 1508, or a Brazilian progressive rock band. With this new medicine I am now simultaneously modifying my serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine mechanisms. Just watch me now.

I’m going to go find Zen Arcade and blast it into my face at > 100 dB. Let’s see what that does for the ol’ dopamine.

I just syndicated christianretail which is the weblog ( http://christianretail.blogspot.com ) of an employee in a Christian bookstore.

Of special interest to others who share my grim fascination with my religion’s Tchotchke Problem.

The Ministry of National Defence (MND) has embarked on an unprecedented public relations campaign to try to convince a sceptical public that the costly arms purchase is essential.

It earlier released brochures with cute cartoon characters setting out its case.

But for now, we just have Super Mario. Via boingboing. (15M Quicktime mpeg video)
