Friday Fumblings....
When you’re battling a summer cold, it’s always nice to see a headline like this: “Driver in Glasgow Airport Attack Dies From His Burns.” Couldn’t have happened to a nicer human being! Score one for Western civilization! If you’re a doctor, do you really go out of your way to treat this man? I don't think I could. If my degenerate-ex-brother-in-law had treated the guy, he probably would have died within days of arriving at the hospital, NOT because my degenerate-ex-brother-in-law would have taken a moral stand and refused to provide good care to a terrorist. Instead, he would have died because my degenerate-ex-brother-in-law is as competent a physician as I am a singer. (Not pretty, trust me on this.)
I’m not a huge Rudy Giuliani fan, but must admit that he was incredibly impressive during a recent interview with Charlie Rose.
This is the United States of America, not Guatemala or El Salvador or Sudan. Our bridges shouldn’t suddenly collapse.
Major props to a subway driver last night. When a gazillion people tried to board the train at Farragut West, the driver exclaimed, “People, there are about twenty trains directly behind me.” That didn’t stop one woman from getting semi-crushed by the closing doors. (For the non-DC readers, the subway doors are NOT like elevator doors. If they close on you, you’ll feel like Daniel LaRusso after a chance encounter with the Cobra Kai boys.) For some strange reason, this woman was determined to board that particular train as the doors started to close. Hope her friends don’t think her husband’s beating her when they see her arms. They are both definitely going to have some marks!

People's behavior on the subway never ceases to amaze me. CHILL, folks. Unless it's life threatening or you are going to get fired, there is always another train in a few!

That lady should get a beating just for being so hasty in her commute. I hope her husband gives her a black eye.
Rudy G. I don't trust as far as I can throw. Although, he does have the prerequisites for being an incredible politician, in the fact he has committed adultery. Check that on off the list for Rudy G!
All in all, ask yourself, what would Woodstock and Snoopy do? There you will find the answers.

This reminded me of some of my adventures in riding the metro. http://mbnovak.blogspot.com/2006/11/adventures-in-metro-ing.html

I am sure philo's experience on the metro is something like mine where the homeless smelly african american male rubs up against me and start to moan.
I do not travel amongst the great unwashed. I would rather walk down the street and ignore the bums asking for money and deal with the nasty heat then be that close to poor people.
