Wednesday, November 19th, 2003

This weeks Ass-Hat of the Week Award goes to BBC reporter Tamsin Smith because of this story she wrote.
For your information, Tamsin, a group of people who collect monetary donations for the purpose of buying weapons can not be called anti-war.  Not ever.

The Govinator

Unfortunately, my invitation to Ah-nold’s inauguration was lost in the mail.  Once Ah-nold learns of this discrepancy, heads will roll!
To make up for being left out, I rented T3 and plan to watch it today as my small contribution to the celebration.

The Little Traitor

This is Kuksi (pronounced “kookshee”) when he was a baby.  I had just adopted him from the “Feral Cat Society” as my cat.  Now that he is all grown up into a big, fuzzy, teddy-bear sized cat, he barely tolerates me.  He is completely and utterly devoted to my wife even though she has her [...]

Now for the bad news. I lost all the image files for the seadog webpage. [...]
