Bored at the hotel, and stumbled across one of those hunting shows on the Outdoor channel...

It had some hot chick all done up in realtree camo, having just blown away a deer with a high powered rifle...

I am not against hunting in the slightest...but when you're cooing over how beautiful the deer is, and what a wonderful an animal it is, all the while caressing it's dead carcass like a kitten...makes me think a lot of the hunting "culture" is pretty fucked up.

Go watch 'shake that bear'. NSFW.

Some of us can't catch a live deer, we're not all agile like The Brain.

Apparently tooth paste cures blisters. I already knew it got rid of acne. Toothpaste seems to be able to cure any lump. I need to prepare a research proposal to hold a clinical trial with cancer patients.

That's right. It's all down to project management.

We were at a local pub having lunch and there was a poster on the door that tonight they are hosting a meetup for theChive. My imagination pictured the place full of girls taking selfies and dudes hanging around the wall staring at them.

Smells like a skunk right outside the bedroom windows. That godawful burning rubber smell.

Just found out the K in GK Chesterton stands for Keith. Which I find very funny.

Explains why he went by G. K.

Ugh. ABANDON SHIP. ABANDON SHIP.

The skunk stench still wafts over my yard. Operation Pepe Le Pew is ON.

I dreamt Hitler appointed me to some kind of blue ribbon committee in Nazi Germany, early in the war.  I was still half Jewish in the dream, so it was a little weird, but I guess nobody knew.   I was giving a sieg heil when I realized I had a lit cigarette in my saluting hand that Hitler was looking at with displeasure.  He was polite about it though, once I put it out while apologizing profusely.

Does anyone know anything about, or have a link to a source on The Freedom Budget?

Just read a review in the NYT about a book about the anniversary of The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.  The point I picked up is that although we tend to interpret the march as support for JFK's proposed civil rights legislation, it was really more about jobs and social justice, as articulated in The Freedom Budget written by A. Phillip Randolph, the president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

Only problem is the review didn't tell me anything about the Freedom Budget (other than the fact that senators sympathetic to civil rights found it "utterly unrealistic") and Wiki appears not to have an article on it.

He was a very forgiving man.
