The biggest on-field question surrounding Bonds this season is whether he will hit the 22 home runs he needs to break Hank Aaron’s career home run mark of 755. Bonds said he didn’t know if Aaron would be on hand if he’s in position to break the record and wasn’t about to predict when that milestone homer might come.
“I just want to do it. Period,” he said.
Bonds said he would have probably broken Aaron’s mark if not for the knee injuries that limited him to 14 games in 2005 and slowed him down for much of last season as well.

We at IMAO agree with the principles set forth by Texas Governor Perry. It’s time to put aside petty politics and do the things we need to protect our children. That’s why today we’re here to ask you to join us in a worthwhile cause. You see, it’s easy to say, “Well, my children won’t engage in THAT type of behavior so what risk do they really run?” But we never know, do we? Sometimes kids can be innocent victims, other times, they’re lured into that lifestyle by that crazy music.
That’s why today we’re asking you to sign a petition to enforce a new law.
The Every Student Wears A Bullet Proof Vest Program.
Yes, we can hear you with your typical blather and objections.
“I don’t believe in guns.”
Or “I don’t believe in guns before marriage.”
Or “Will this vest make me look fat?”
But that doesn’t matter. The horrible reality is that science has not yet developed a cure for a bullet to the heart. Maybe one day we’ll have a cure for this developed by leading scientists or Al Gore, but that’s decades away from happening.
Yes, we must protect our kids. Furthermore, We’re tired of all these kids shooting other innocent bystander kids. Violence, like sex, is a deep primal urge. It is foolish – and a violation of free speech – to try to control this urge. Rather, much like sex education, we should teach kids about these urges and how to carry them out responsibly. For example, very few schools have classes in Marksmanship. Why? Probably because of the Radical Religious Left and their uncontrolled “riflephobia.” Yet how many senseless deaths could have been avoided if we had taught proper trigger control? .
Our high school kids need help and special attention. Otherwise, most of them will get distracted and start doing things they shouldn’t really be doing — like homework. So enough with the obstruction to these programs. The vests, the marksmanship — these things will help stop the senseless loss of innocent life.
Here’s how the program works.
Students are issued bullet proof vests. They wear the vests everywhere kids hang out — school, the mall, myspace. If they get shot in the vest, it saves their lives, which of course if the purpose of our amazing program. Students are issued a new vest when it gets too full of bullets or the student gets too fat. Vests would be available in designer colors and styles.
Now, some parents may want to abstain from this program for religious beliefs. I say No Way! Some ideas are just too silly.
Please.
Do it for the children.

Let’s see… a television reporter holding a cat during a live shot, and…

Yes, it’s the day you’ve been waiting for: It’s International Eat A Tasty Animal For PETA Day.
Since Deskmerc takes Thursdays off now, I went to lunch with another carnivore looking to celebrate EATAPETA 2007.
We ate at the same place Deskmerc and I ate last year… a hickory BBQ kind of place just down the street.

Coworker has a half-pound burger, and I had chicken-fried steak.
Yeah, I’m going to have to limit myself to a pound of crawdads tonight… but at least I’m getting exercise by walking to and from the restaurant, right?
What animals are you eating today?
If y’all have photos needed to be added to the gallery, send them to peta (at) isfullofcrap.com.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has confessed to planning 9/11. I guess we can finally put that ugly episode behind us.
That’s great timing for the Democrats, because they were really afraid that terrorism would still be an issue in 2008. Anytime Americans are concerned about serious issues, it’s bad news for Democrats in the polls. Where Democrats excel is piddling crap issues, and now it’s time to promote those to the front for their presidential run.
POSSIBLE BIG ISSUES FOR DEMOCRATS IN 2008
* Potholes: While spending all its time and money on terrorism, our roads have been neglected. Isn’t a bumpy ride the real terrorism? Democrats vow to fill potholes with whatever it is is supposed to go in them. Possibly tar.
* Teenagers: While fighting foreign enemies, the domestic one, adolescents, have gotten even bolder. They are now hanging out in front of an increasing number of businesses and wearing increasingly dumber looking clothing. Democrats vow to ask them to hang out somewhere else, and they won’t easily take “No” for an answer.
* Cold Hands: To fight cold hands, Democrats vow to fund mitten awareness. They think this problem can be eliminated by 2015.
* Lost: The American people have lost faith in the show Lost, and polls show that the majority now believe that a satisfying conclusion to the show is impossible. Democrats vow to get the cast of Lost off the island and to put a new reality show about singing and dancing in the time slot.
* Global Warming: It’s getting warmer, and it’s time to do something about that before… uh… it gets warmer than we’d like. The American people can rest assured that Democrat leaders are sitting in their 80,000 room homes with all the lights on (to scare away ghosts) thinking of solutions and buying carbon offsets to help save the world.
* Barking Dogs: While stuck in an illegal war, dogs have continued to bark, their pleas going unheard. Democrats vow to find whatever it is that the dogs are barking about and appease them.
What problems do you have that you want Democrats to campaign against?

If we could eat global warming, what would it taste like?
I think it would be buttery, but I don’t know if that’s the scientific consensus.
