Apostrophe S

Another Wednesday has come and is going. I don’t have a particular fondness for Wednesdays. I suppose there are worse days of the week, like Monday. But really, Wednesday is the farthest day from a weekend on a timeline. It’s been two days since the weekend, and the next weekend is still two days away. It’s like the nexus of doom for the work week. That reminds me.

I gotta give my brother, Corey, props for this new modifier I’ve picked up. Actually, it’s two new modifiers. You see, everyday language is boring. References to the objects that we use in our life are so mundane. Phrases such as “This is my T-Bird,” or “Where is the creamer?” just have no oomph whatsoever. My brother devised a solution to boring language. Assign every object one of these two modifiers: “of justice” or “of doom.” It truly makes a difference. “This is my T-Bird of Justice” really grabs people’s attention, as does “Where is the Creamer of Doom?” Try it next time you’re at work. Start labeling things. I’m typing on my PowerMac of Justice right now. Later I’ll work on a Harris Terminal of Doom. Then I’ll go refill my Coffee Mug of Justice. Remember that adding these modifiers makes the name of the object a proper noun, so it must be capitalized. I think if I do another blog it should be called the Blog of Justice. Again, props go out to Corey for this marvel of modern language.

Just found out that the 9/11 commission found no connection between Iraq and Al Queda. Big surprise, right? I think most Americans have concluded that our national leaders’ evidence for the necessity of an Iraq invasion, while not entirely unfounded, was at least poorly corroborated and/or manipulated. I usually consider myself a fence-sitter when it comes to politics. I don’t really like to commit, but I can almost guarantee that I won’t be voting for the shrub. Between these latest 9/11 commission findings, the prisoner abuse, the seemingly unstoppable violence in Iraq, and Michael Moore’s new film, the incumbant is going to have a much tougher time getting reelected than he did getting elected. And that’s saying something.

Well, until that day. Take care…
