Around About Town
--So Kerry won big yesterday, Edwards is reportedly withdrawing, and now all the buzz is about who will be Kerry's running mate. Like it matters.
--Speaking of Kerry, he's picked up a key endorsement.....Paul has the scoop. That ought to make us all sleep better at night.
--Most of the telemarketers are abandoning their appeal of the "do-not-call" ruling. A small group is still pursuing their appeal to the Supremes. Yeah, like that'll do 'em any good. Though it would be fun to watch Scalia....assuming he didn't go out duck hunting with one of them or something. (No, I didn't approve of that. Every judge should avoid even the appearance of impropriety. He's no exception.)
--Speaking of being foisted by your own petard, here's a good idea from the FBI.
FBI officials said the new initiative uses child pornography images from the Internet. Photos are made of unidentified adults whose faces are visible in the scenes, then put on television shows and law enforcement Web sites. The photographs are edited to ensure no children are seen.
No word, alas, on whether we get to line 'em all up & lobotomize the whole sorry lot.
Dang it.

You're welcome. That's kinda scary when you think about it. The endorsement I mean.

Well ok, but you gotta use rubber bands. The knife is too quick & easy. I think the smell of certain necrotic tissue might smell like....victory. Whaddya think?

Girl, you're not thinking. I'd use the edge of an old rusty can, and saw the things off.

Well sure tetanus does have a certain appeal, but I still prefer the weeks it would take for the rubber bands to make 'em rot completely off.
