All war, all the time

Seems like an apt description of the content here of late. While the war is the most pertinent issue of our time, there are other things. Like:

> Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown are getting a divorce. That's awfully sad, but perhaps it might allow us the opportunity to finally catch bin Laden. Get Whitney a veil, broadcast the breakup on al-Jazeera and airlift her into Kandahar. He will come. (oops sorry, that was about the war).

> Heard while driving.. Glenn Beck, talking about a small nuclear radiation detector the size of a garage door opener you can carry on a key chain. Apparently this will provide seconds of notification before the blast wave or dirty bomb hits (darnit, that was about the war, too). That short warning beep somehow reminds me of the time a friend and me were driving down the interstate around 85 in his souped Nova with his brand new radar detector. The beeping started almost simultaneous to the blue lights.

> Also heard on radio...Paul Harvey talking about hookers now using cell phones and the internets to marshall their Johns. High-tech Ho's (not what Paul said, but can you imagine him saying it?). For some reason that made me think of street corner beggars and technology. You know, the guys who hold up signs like "will work for food" and stare at you while you're sitting at the red light not able to move. As we move towards a cash-less society their business prospects don't look so bright, and it appears they're not gonna keep pace with the hookers unless someone develops a bum-friendly remote card swiper.

> Finally, the hot blonde teacher being interviewed by Matt Lauer story. "He wanted it and I gave it to him". I ask, how is it fair that she's freely giving interviews to Today while another blonde teacher who couldn't resist having sex with a minor student is rotting in the pen for seven years?

Oh, and as to the question of, "well, don't all boys fantasize about doing it with teacher when they're 14?" Depends on their teacher, of course. But yeah, and old men have fantasies about young blonde teachers, and terrorist leaders have fantasies about washed up pop singers. It's a crazy lust-ridden world, which is probably why Lady Justice was blindfolded.
