I returned some text books for store credit at Borders. $110. Wow, were I ever to be so sexy with my cash spilling. So, I got "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting" by Milan Kundera, and "Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathan Safran Foer (which I have removed the dust jacket and will be returning once I've finished it) and I also got the journals of Dan Eldon. I've wanted them since I was 18. Sexy cash permits sexy spending.

What is the fundamental difference between Hitler and George Bush acting in percieved self defense and killing thousands of people? And if you think Iraq is the only target in the Middle East; if you think they'll stop there, you are eating a lot of stupid pudding.

Do you really think we spend billions of dollars a year on the military to intimidate the rest of the world? Lookee our DICK is bigger than yours? Wake up.
