parenting 101
tonight at supper, Kaylyn asked my why we have so many dogs since there were only two on the ark.
I proceeded to explain basic genetics, using diagramatic examples.
I'm not sure I made a connection.

surprise of the day
Dr. Kenneth Hemphill seminary of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, is resigning. It appears he's taking a gig with the denomination as the national strategist for Empowering Kingdom Growth, a new emphasis for our 19 million-member family.
Dr. Hemphill is a visionary, and I look forward to the same type of results that God brought to SWBTS through his ministry there for nine years.
This also means interesting days await at "the hill."

Iraq dispatch of the day
via WSJ best of....
This from the Omaha World Herald -- Gloria Pressnall received a phone call from her son, who is fighting in Iraq:
"I'm always worried when the phone rings," she said.
Her son, Lt. Col. Mike Presnell, was on a TV reporter's satellite phone, saying he was in Saddam's gold-plated bathroom.
"He told me that he was going to wash his hair and brush his teeth in Saddam's private bathroom," Gloria Presnell said. "The only thing I could say to him was, 'I hope you use your own toothbrush.'"

talk about a fixer-upper
you've heard about a needle in a haystack?
this is called, "find a mustache in a rubble-pile."
overheard in the restaurant that day: "Saddam, it looks like you've got a lot on your shoulders."
by the way
I'm posting right now because I can't sleep. My mind is filled with exciting thoughts for the future (cue Conan O'Brien's In The Year 2000 skit song. I'm putting them down on paper (and p.c.) now, lest they escape in the night. In a few hours, I'll pass them in front of the thorough review of sanity that is my wife. If they still look good in the light of day, we'll see what happens.
sung to the tune of and the walls came tumblin' down
We dropped 4 2k-lb bunker party-crashers into what we hope are the laps of Saddam & Sons last convo. If this turns out to be true, I guess I'll be a bit disappointed that he wasn't already gone, since that was my prediction. But then again, I at various times thought Duke, Butler, Kentucky, Marquette, and Kansas would be the NCAA basketball national champion.
congrats Syracuse.
and I'm excited to see what gets dug up out of that 60-ft. crater.

not making this up
from WSJ best of the web:
this is so insipid that my only comment is that this is really insipid. And the boy should show up following his suspension and say, "me and my parents thought that suspension was really gay." Watch the fun ensue.
Grand Junction, Colo.'s West Middle School has suspended 12-year-old Ben Madison for two days "for saying a four-square officiating call was 'gay,' " reports the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. "The suspension comes on the heels of a recent District 51 School Board discussion about possibly adding language to its anti-bullying policy saying students cannot harass other students for their actual or perceived sexual orientation."

Celebrities for Liberty, Inc.
ABSPI -- Michael Moore joins the growing list of celebrities to support US troops. Here, Moore offers a 'victory' signal, telling an audience gathered behind Sunset Blvd. Kroger Supermarket checkout stand #13, that he so supported President Bush and the war against Saddam Hussein's regime that he would donate his newly-awarded Oscar to be smelted and used for ammunition, if necessary.

Italian customs agents have snagged a nativity carved entirely out of blocks of pure cocaine.
apparently, the baby Jesus has a street value of $37,000, and is known for being 'really good, really clean.'

final four wrap up
with the championship game tomorrow night between Syracuse and Kansas (neither of which I chose), I will give my observations.
1. The "Dominant Mascot Theory" clearly does not work. Next year, I'm going back to blindly selecting teams based upon my egotistical notion that I know everything about college basketball despite watching approximately 7 minutes and 27 seconds of actual game action over the course of the season.
2. Nobody in the nation picked this final four. Nobody. If someone told you they did, they're lying. If they show you a bracket to prove it, they made it up after the teams already won. If it is signed, dated, and witnessed by a notary public, its a conspiracy and the notary should be reported for misuse of authority.
3. Kelli did surprisingly well in the annual "c'mon and fill out a bracket, honey, it'll be fun" competition. Better than me. Which means we will never, ever have this competition again. Ever.
4. The biggest upset in this year's tournament is Leslie Visser's face-lift. She even looks surprised by it.
5. I'm "roopin' for" (Cotter's term for 'cheering') Kansas, a Big 12 team, to win. This ensures a victory by Syracuse.

Benadryl works, but leaves me in a stupor.

an eye for detail
Kelli noticed this, and I haven't heard any mention of it on the airwaves...
In the video where "Saddam" is mingling with the crowds, everyone is wearing coats and/or long sleeves.
It was supposed to be over 100 degrees farenheit that day.
Which means, if the video is authentic, the Iraqi murderer & histerrified, threatened ardent supporters are either:
a) very fragile, lest they be damaged from the harsh desert sun.
or
b) very tough, and can wear heavy clothes on fervently hot days.
If (a) is accurate, this explains our relative ease in steamrolling over the Baath regime, but if (b) is correct [sarcasm]then all the peaceniks are correct and they are just too mean for us and we better just pack up and come home.[/sarcasm]

what are the odds that an email is spam if it comes sent to you from Buford Sizelove?
