Edwards on affair: 'I alone am responsible'

Maybe it's just a question of semantics, or maybe it's just that I'm being too darned picky, but if he alone is responsible, wouldn't that make it rape, not an affair?

Mexican cartels grow pot in U.S. national forests

Or so says that forest ranger with the Cheeto-stained fingertips and big, goofy smile.

Georgians 'anxious' about war

There's something about a Russian tank parked in the front yard would make me a little uneasy, too.

Coast Guard Deems Teens Too Drunk to Rescue

Giving away top secrets again! Now the aquatic drug smugglers are gonna stop dumping the cocaine when they see the Coasties coming. They'll just pretend to be so drunk they'll get left alone.

Mike,

One has to wonder how boring Saturday mornings would be without your commentary.  I look forward to, what I hope will be, a regular feature.  We all need a good chuckle now & then.  Are you getting these remarks from your own fertile mind & off center sense of humor or do you have help?  Regardless, they are great.  JATFUR.

Mike, since I am unable to compete on your level, let me contribute to your collection of oddities. If you were shaking your head over the crazy woman cloning her dog, just read more about her. The cloning part may well be sanest part of her story.

Lily,

Great story.  I think I can explain the mess with two little words.......RAMPANT GUMPISM!  JATFUR.

Boring without me?  Rich, have you looked out your window today?  Anyone who can be bored on a morning like this doesn't deserve to live in Clay County.  Ought to be sentenced to live in some cold, dreadful place like Chicago.

I don't get any help, Rich.  No one would let me give them credit if I did.  I just amuse myself, and share.

Lily, the most upsetting aspect of that entire cloning story is how it'll be recorded in history.  Prominent firsts - names like Columbus, Lindberg, Armstrong - will be joined by Booger.
