I have a request for all members of the media out there. I know Myanmar is also known as Burma, so you can stop telling me every time you do a story about Myanmar. I don’t really know why they decided to change it, but it’s been like 30 years now, so you can knock it off. Anybody that actually gives a shit about Burma already knows it’s Myanmar, and everybody else will just figure it’s another country in Africa or or South America or something, so why bother? I mean, you don’t feel obliged to tell me that Zimbabwe is also known as Rhodesia, do you? Anyhow, call it whatever the hell you want, but pick one or the other and go with it.

I don’t want to take sides on the issue, but if you want my advice, I would suggest that you don’t shoot rockets at Israel, unless you’ve got something big enough to take it out all in one shot. I mean, you have to realize you’re just gonna piss ’em off, and have no qualms about reducing you to rubble and ashes with some of the very finest made in the good old US of A weaponry. If they didn’t think anybody was watching, I’m pretty sure they’d nuke you and be done with it. Especially the bunch running the show right now (you know, Mitt Romney’s pals)

Despite another successful sports weekend (even the Jets won, if you can believe it), I’m really not feeling it here at work today. I really should have taken the whole week off, ‘cuz I just don’t want to be here (I mean, more than usual). Worse, I have “support” duty this week, which could potentially be a pain in the ass (except I think an awful lot of people who are smarter than I am are off this week). On the bright side, I did take next Monday off, so that’ll be good.

Now I just need to get my wife cracking on this Veggieducken recipe.
