Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined.
-Samuel Goldwyn

I'm trying to figure out something to write today, but I have no idea. The only thing I did yesterday was watch Peyton the Man-ning whoop that Viking ass on MNF and watch those poor Clippers lose yet another close game due to stupidity and bad luck. That was helpful as it put me over the top to win in my fantasy football league this week. Even better, B not only lost again, but was humiliated by having the lowest score and lost to the guy with the second lowest score. There will be much clowning and mocking these next few weeks...

I know we're going on the offensive in Fallujah as I write...which really means we're just killing a whole bunch of terrorists and blowing up shit while they run around like chickens with their heads sliced off. I can't say I feel bad for them and I wish our soldiers well. The amount of force our military can inflict on the enemy is frightening and terrible, which I must say is a good thing. Nobody should enjoy war. We need to make sure they pay such a price that they don't consider doing it again...at least for another couple of hundred years. Five of our soldiers have died so far in the battle, which is always sad, but actually rather encouraging when you think about the type of operation they're engaged in. Two hundred years ago, something like this would have resulted in hundreds, perhaps thousands of casualties on our side. Go American technology and innovation!

One headline that really bothered me today, well, in a completely silly personal way and not to be confused with the previous paragragh, is that the Anaheim Angels are going to be renamed the Los Angeles Angels. Talk about redundancy; the Angels Angels. Oh goodie...maybe we can just start calling them Angels squared or something. If they don't stop changing their name, I'm gonna have to do something drastic. I can barely figure out each year what they've changed. They were the California Angels only a couple of years ago, then the stadium was Anaheim stadium, then Edison field, now Angel Stadium of Anaheim...what the hell is next? Are they going to just go with a weird symbol like Prince did it? This can't be good karma for next season...
