I tried going back to work today, and now I feel even worse. Sorry for lack of updates, but I’ll be lucky if I get out a Rumsfeld In My World™ for tomorrow.
Anyway, here were two banner submissions:
I dunno; I think we need one a little less busy and more professional looking.
This one is professional looking, but I think it would work better for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance rather than the Blogger Alliance.
Come on, people; we need a cool banner before we can become a vast media empire.
Anyway, here is a link of some propaganda by Blackfive. I got a lot of great links from people, but I’m sorry I haven’t had the time to post them (and I have some more people to add to the compatriots list). If you have some great war links, put them in the comments section (I support html tags).
For those curious, this is what a post looks like that hasn’t been proofread or even spell checked.

Bite-Sized Wisdom: Ineffective Republicans, Sword Play, Specism, and Baseball
- I don’t know about this whole Arnold thing now. I’m starting to get worried that’s he going to be a Bloomberg liberal Republican instead of Giuliani liberal Republican. Though it’s nice to have someone in office with an (R) next to his or her name, if the choice is between an ineffective Republican governor or mayor vs. and ineffective Democrat, I’d rather have the Democrat. No reason to sully the good name of Republicans for a short-term gain. If Arnold screws things up, I’ll kick his ass. Yeah, that right!
- My sister is in California, but I don’t remember hearing what she thinks about this recall thing. She told me in the last election she voted for Nader, but that was just to tweak me (she voted for Bush). Aww, my little sister involved in democracy.
- Then again, I never got this whole “women voting” thing. If it wasn’t for women, Dole actually would have beat Clinton in ’96. Then again, I hear woman are now just as concerned as men about issues of national defense, which is good. Still, you shape up, women; we gave you the vote, and we can take it away!
- IMAO would like to apologize to all its female readers for that last statement, which does not reflect the opinion of IMAO or its subsidiaries (of which there are none).
- I ended up getting that Zatoichi sword. I didn’t play with it much yesterday since I wasn’t feeling well, but I found out that if you’re practicing throwing something in the air and cutting it in two, an orange is too messy… especially in the living room (I had to clean orange juice off the miniblinds). I think I’ll stick to apples. BTW, if there is a slowdown in blogging, it’s probably from a loss of fingers.
- Am I alone in not particularly liking the French?
- To all military readers of this site: get off your damn asses and kill some terrorists. What are you doing surfing the net when there are still people out there in need of killing! Hey, my tax dollars pay your measly salary, so get to it!
- If I become a successful author and makes lots of money with the book I wrote, screw you guys; I’ll only write if I get paid for it from now on. Sorry.
- When do we find out who the Democrat candidate for president is? I can’t wait for that race to kick into high gear; it should be funny. Wouldn’t it be cool if Kucinich surprises everyone and breaks into the lead? He’s the only one brave enough to take on mind-controlling space lasers (and tin-foil hats won’t save you from those).
- I hear there is controversy about Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion which is about the final hours of Jesus Christ. Some people think it will cause anti-semitic violence. How would that work? “Wow, that movie was such a touching statement of Jesus belief in love, peace, and sacrifice… NOW LET’S GO BEAT US UP SOME JEWS!!!”
- Just for the record, I don’t actually hate monkeys. If I did, that would be specist. You can’t just hate a whole species; you have to judge each one individually. Like, you may say you hate all mosquitoes, but what if one you saw wasn’t trying to such your blood but was instead just admiring your wallpaper? Then you’d be a jerk to swat it.
- There is a particular monkey I hate, though. See, one day I heard a knock at the door and there was this monkey. So I said, “Are you lost from the zoo, Mr. Monkey?” and he said, “Ooh! Ooh!” (or maybe it was, “Ee! Ee!”; it was a while ago). So I let him in, asked if he wanted some coffee, and, after he nodded yes, I went to get him some. Soon as I turned around, though, I saw him going out the window with my stereo and yelled, “Hey, come back with my stereo, you damn dirty ape!” That was said in the heat of the moment, but still, that doesn’t excuse how specist that was of me. Anyway, I hate that monkey! If I find him, I’m going to hit him with a bat!
- So what’s the best way to carry a bat so it looks like you’re on your way to baseball practice and not like your just ready to cause trouble? Is there a certain way you can hold it in hand, or do you need a sheath to keep it in. Or does the sheath make you look too prepared?
- I really think that baseball is the American pastime, because it symbolizes the values of America. You have to work as a team to succeed, but everyone also gets their time in the spotlight when they’re at bat. Baseball is also hella boring, but I’m not sure how to work that into the metaphor.
- Wouldn’t it be funny to teach some monkeys to play baseball? Probably be easier to have it be tee-ball. That would be funny to watch, unless one bit me, which he almost certainly would. And then I don’t like the idea of them having bats in their hand. They’d probably take me down with the biting, and then hit me with the bats. I’d be defenseless!
- I hate monkeys.
