- The word "avocado" was selected by California farmers because the term for the fruit at the time, ahuacate, was too hard to pronounce and was also the Aztec word for testicle. Learn lots more about avocados in this interesting web special on NPR.
- George Bush is irrepressibly stupid (OK, I already knew that). If you want more evidence, take a look at his gaff in trying to coax Angela Merkel into his bedroom.
- At the Mercosur Summit, which is just starting in Cordoba, Argentina, the issues they will discuss are important, despite the fact that the U.S. will not be there to direct them. How novel, countries that don't need U.S. imperial instruction.
- Condi Rice is a heartless bitch, who's more interested in pit-bull diplomacy than treating innocent civilians humanely. Bush's bitch says a cease-fire in Lebanon would be a 'false promise.' Sure, Condi, let them kill a few hundred more on both sides of the border...we wouldn't want to make any false promises, would we?
- The counterpoint to Condi & company can be found in places like Animal Rescue, Inc., which operates two pet rescue facilities in Maryland and Pennsylvania. They're good people, I think.
OK, enough of things I learned. It's off to work I go.
