The Funny Farm

Bloggy Goodness From Around The Zone

^{Tuesday, 12 Falltring 2005}

We've been busy trying to attain a zen-like state while holding weighted sticks in our hands and trying to cause a small dimpled ball fall into an artificially drilled hole in the surface of the planet. For which we help fund an entire sector of our service economy with our greens fees and our beer cart contributions.

But we see that while'we've been away some others found some of our fresh bloggy goodness and responded nicely. You should go see the ripples from our mind pebbles and grok on them in all their fullness.*

Many many others besides the small sample here have been busy showing us details of the disaster that felled New Orleans, and the pathetic last throes of an occupation that could possibly be headed for Chimpeachment in the near future because of their CEO pResidency.

In the You heard it here first department, watch, wait, and see if you don't start hearing about our newest source of animal protein, swamp rat. Thanks to Hoffmania for linking to this National Geographic special. We saw one the other night about natural disasters that also pointed out the lack of government care in supporting the infrastructure of the Big Easy. And how it could lead to problems if something ever happened.

As amazing as it sounds, now that Drinky McDumbA$$ and the God Squad have been caught with their pants down at home, those insurgents that flocked to Iraq once we "liberated" it have decided to make some moves of their own. We're reasonably sure the brain trust in DC has already well worked its' way into one of those hoary contingency plans they have dusted off and revamped for the current crisis. On the plus side, we're also reasonably sure that the rest of the world now realizes that the U.S. is beginning to notice that it is now roughly equivalent to one of those third world countries that have received American funding lo these many years. The graft is a little better hidden and America needs to take a while to get used to the idea, but those are minor details to be worked out over time.

We're afraid to feed one of our more virulent addictions**, although we feel that we should always confront our demons. And besides, some of the new Best Of Net collections are awesome!

We might be busy with some redesigns and some calendar finalization stuff over at our business site. And wethinks that the links zone is in need of some judicious pruning. More to the point, it might actually be a part of reality-based discussions involving the Funny Farm in ages to come.

So stay tuned and stay frosty - we might not put out much mind candy in the near future, but it will probably be pretty tasty. And there's always so much more out there to get into...

* - just before utterly destroying them. Wasn't that always the way those Martians behaved in Stranger In A Strange Land? It's been awhile since we viddied that particular tome...

** - he said, upon finishing his first pot of coffee for the day. Before making lunch and jumping in the shower preparatory to another day of work...
