A few weeks ago the 278th. opened a school in the area near here. I became aware that a lot of the children did not have shoes and were...

Okay, I pride myself on being up on trends and fads on the internet and stuff, but I have to ask about one that seems to have escaped me: When and how did the "stuned beeber" thing start?

SPEAKING OF PARTY TALKING POINTS As I said ... I've been getting emails for years accusing me of getting a set of talking points every day from the Republican Party. The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto had a rather interesting revelation in Friday's column: Taranto notes that the following letter from one Nic Karlsson of Avondale appeared in Friday's Arizona Republic: "President Bush is endangering my retirement and the retirements of millions of Americans by taking the first step in his plan to dismantle Social Security.

For $24.95, T-shirtKing.com offers the "Go Canadian" package, full of just the kind of things an American traveler needs to leave their country and its politics behind. ----- "It's not meant as a slight against the United States or Canada," explained T-shirtKing.com President Bill Broadbent.

Scroll down the list, and pick a version of the "Thanksgiving Day PSA" to watch. The episode has some fun with the "Turduken" and takes some potshots at Michael Moore and the Fleeing to Canada crowd! You don't need to know anything about the story to appreciate it, but it's a good idea to have a broadband connection.

Just curious if anyone noticed how bad it is. I don't know, maybe it's just the fact that on NBC more time is spent watching Katie Couric and Matt "Doesn't Know He's Bald" Laurer yapping their egotistical heads off than is actually spent on the cameras watching the parade. Any thoughts?
