Um. Sorry about that
I had to hunker down in an undisclosed location (aka my living room) for a couple of weeks there. I'm desparately trying to finish my upcoming book, and my poor blog got ignored.
But I'm back, and I promise to water and feed my blog much more often. (And since I'm following the Bible, I have to keep my promises).
By the way, in reference to my deadbeat blogging, SAEllie wrote "I can hear crickets." Point taken. Though I should add, in case it helps my cause, that crickets are Biblically-approved. They are one of the few insects that Leviticus says you are allowed to eat. (Grasshoppers and locusts are okay as well).
You notice that Bush was caught using the S-word today? Personally, my favorite cussing by a public figure was General Patton's obscenity-laden speech. It’s crazy. The movie version by George C. Scott is cleaned up beyond recognition.
Woohoo, glad you're back and looking forward to your book. So, have you eaten any grasshoppers yet? I ate a huge one a few years ago on a Varsity fieldtrip. Nobody told me you had to take the wings and spiny legs off, I just ate the whole thing...alive! The fastest I've ever chewed! Some people say they taste like peanuts, I just thought it tasted like a grasshopper...as it should.
No grasshoppers yet, but I did eat a cricket or two. I kind of wimped out though -- first, they were covered in chocolate; and second, I swallowed them like I would a Centrum, just popped them in my mouth and chased them with a big gulp of water. You're much braver than I am. I hope to see you on Fear Factor soon. Unless it's cancelled. I can't keep up with my reality TV anymore, sadly.
The real irony is not that he said that they need to stop that shit, because they do need to stop that shit, but that had he said it here in the U.S. and it was picked up on a live feed, that he might have some huge FCC fine he'd have to pay for swearing, based on the policies of his own administration.
My favorite instance of public swearing by people who shouldn't be publicly swearing has got to be Cheney on the senate floor telling Senator Leahy to f--- himself. I'm excited about this new book! Do we have a release date?

The only S-word I want to hear Bush say is "Surrender" (as in his positions on Iraq, stem cell research, same-sex marriages...)

Excellent point about the FCC. He needs his own satellite radio show, I guess.
And the new book should be out next year (God willing, of course. Always have to add that)
