To all the veterans, folks currently serving in the military, and their families, Happy Veteran’s Day. It isn’t much, and it’d be better if you, rather than a day that everybody else gets off, you<\/em><\/strong> got more pay and better treatment upon your return to civilian life, but it’s something<\/em><\/strong> I guess. As for me, I’ll be going in to work today, though I should have taken the day off, because it’s supposed to very nice and warm. But I get to start the day off with a visit to the dentist (this is going to go on for quite some time, too, as the massive number of fillings I have all need to be replaced, as do my two defective crowns. Plus he wants to replace the ones I’m missing, which I don’t think I can actually afford, but I’ll have to break that news to him later. <\/p>\n

Jesse Jackson apparently told Soledad O’Brien that she doesn’t ‘count’ as a black teevee anchor<\/a>. Soledad O’Brien is black? Not that I really care or have been paying attention, but I had no idea. I mean, I always thought she was pretty cute, but I never really gave her racial background any thought. I figured she was half Mexican, half Irish. Some day, maybe it won’t matter what flavor “news” people are, and we can judge them purely on how big of a twit they are (on a scale between, oh, I dunno, Edward R. Murrow and Matt “the rat” Lauer). <\/p>\n

Exciting news on the toilet paper front (no, really!). Kimberly Clark is test marketing “tube free” toilet paper here in the Northeast<\/a>. That’s right, with some special “winding” process, toilet paper rolls will no longer include those little tubes, reducing the amount of needless crap in the world. The bad news is you’ll need to go to Wally World (or its Big Box Brother, Sam’s Club) to get your, um, hands on it. If all goes well, you’ll be seeing tubeless paper towel rolls soon.<\/p>\n

Well, I reckon I’d better get busy. I have to leave about a half hour early to make my dental date, so I better get going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
