Bush to troops: Bend over

Apparently, injured troops have been reclassified in order to be sent to Iraq.

The word on the street is that it’s all just a numbers game - they want units going out to look full strength; so they’re reclassifying injured solders to get them on the plane - whether or not they’re fit to do something as simple as WEAR BODY ARMOUR.

Iraq, I thought, was a snake pit. Is there anywhere that’s really “safe” for anyone who’s sick?

Heroes Spoilers

Apparently the guy in charge of Heroes demoed a clip from the next show that gives away a fair bit of where the show is heading.

You can find the spoiler right here.

Seen on the Way Home…

Saw the front half of a squirrel on the sidewalk on my way back from groceries. There was nothing in his rib cage.

He had a very surprised look on his face.

Worst Thing to Ever get Stuck in my Head… EVER

I have the first four lines of the theme song to “Where in Time is Carman Sandiego” stuck in my head…

“Where, in time, is carman sandiego…
Stop, a crime, and solve this mystery…
Tell me where, in time, is Carman Sandiego…

We’re on the case and it’s taking us through history

(bang bang)

Throttle open…

(bang bang)

Engines on…

(bang bang)

(indecipherable) villains…

(bang bang)

Evil plot…

Our head squadron leader will help us defeat her and bring back the loot to its RIGHTFUL PLACE IN TIME”

Ugh… I wasn’t even much of a fan of the show, for christsakes…. I don’t know where this encyclopedic knowledge of the theme song came from!

Worst thing ever stuck in your head? Put it in the comments…

Worst jobs?

Quickly, before bed - a list of what are supposedly 101 of the worst jobs out there.

That’s what passes as “inspirational literature” for me…
