I'd be surprised if there's not already a shipment from Hong Kong arriving in time for the first pitch

So what kind of voodoo do you have access to, and can I use it against a particular opposing counsel?

You only just now realized that jr. and sr. high school students can be nasty little shits?

The ray of sunshine is that not all nominations of special education students are meant as jokes. There was a Downs kid in my nephew's class and they chose him to play a marimba duet with the band teacher at the Baccalaureate program and gave him a standing ovation that had more to do with their feelings than the quality of his performance. My niece also had a Down kid in her class; he was very popular and I think he was elected Homecoming King.

Leaving the US until after the election: Poll

This is only wishful thinking on my part. I'd like to do a reverse "Alec Baldwin" and leave the U.S. until after the election so I don't have to watch any more "I'm ____ and I approve this message" commercials. I hate them all without regard to political party.

Poll: Which ads annoy you more, political ads or the Levitra ads with the smarmy woman talking about what a sex monster her man is when he takes Levitra?

For me it is a close call but I have to go with the Levitra ads only because there are only a few more weeks of the political ones. SNL did a brilliant spoof on them recently.

And I saw _one_ in a Wal*Mart. My son egged me on to buy it and I didn't. Freaking collectors item.

Most 'Viagra' sold on the internet is not Viagra

More than half of all Viagra and other impotence drugs sold worldwide on the internet are fake, according to an undercover inquiry. Six web sites are facing prosecution for selling fake Viagra.

This international inquiry follows fake drugs finding their way into the British National Health Service (NHS) - drugs such as Cialis (for impotence).

Flower, the story is silent as to anti-psychosis drugs, but be careful.

Political ads by a mile. At least the woman in the annoying Levitra ads is hot. People in political ads are not hot.

What annoys me more than either is the credit card cos' new marketing approach for when you call to activate a card.

Two years ago, if you dialed from home and confirmed that you had in fact received a card, it was activated. Now? Wait for three minutes of telemarketing, opportunities to purchase credit insurance, "please wait while we verify the card" and other BS before it's finally activated. Guess they must have upgraded to the newest windows software--only way it could take longer to verify now than in 2002.

2.

Other things that bug me:

1. furniture delivery people that show up an hour late
2. viagra commercials with the little devil horns
3. drug commercials that don't tell you what the drug is for
4. insurance companies that cover obesity-related treatments but don't cover the nicotine patch or gum, acupuncture, or vitamins
5. stupid clients
6. apartment brokers
7. subway delays
8. people who stop abruptly in the middle of the sidewalk, especially aimlessly wandering cops who do it and you almost get a gun butt in your box
9. people who tell you that you're looking tired even though you got a lot of sleep.
10. no fucking hockey

Something that doesn't bug me today:

1. Dyson vacuums. Those things are incredible on pet hair. I doubt I will actually use it, but wow. I am almost envious of my cleaning lady.
