"Quick thoughts on Palin"
Decent article by a fellow living in AK, but this part is pure gold:
“The real strike against Palin is that she’s Bobby Jindal without the exorcisms. She’s fanatically anti-choice and believes my wife’s colleagues in the public school system should be teaching their kids to doubt the existence of dinosaurs. Which is of course why she’s with McCain right now in Ohio. She’s not going to yank any women from the Democrats; she’s there to mobilize the nutter base of the Republican party. But since the nutter base of the Republican party will be mobilized enough by the knowledge that Barack Obama drinks pureed fetus each morning before throwing himself prostrate to Mecca, I don’t see how Palin is going to accomplish anything more along these lines.”

Out of every 100 men, ten shouldn’t even be there,
Eighty are just targets,
Nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle.
Ah, but the one,
One is a warrior,
And he will bring the others back.

When a soldier was injured and could not get back to safety, his buddy went out to get him, against his officer’s orders. He returned mortally wounded, and his friend, whom he had carried back, was dead. The officer was angry. ‘I told you not to go,’ he said. ‘Now I’ve lost both of you. It was not worth it.’ The dying man repied, But it was, sir, because when I got to him, he said, ‘Jim, I knew you’d come.’

“Spread - A spread is a meal prepared by a group of inmates. A trash bag is usually filled with 4 to 5 Ramen Noodles packages, diced summer sausages, dehydrated refried beans, beef or chicken sometimes stolen by the kitchen workers, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and whatever else the group might prefer. Boiling water is then added to the mixture and the trash bag is tied closed and encased in newspaper to keep the heat in. After about 5 minutes the trash bag can then be untied and carefully torn open to provide a perfect eating surface. Not until you pour the melted cheese over the top through. College kids everywhere should give it a try. You’d be surprised.”
This is totally going down on the next camping trip.
I hope so, the world can always use more great writers. If someone who wants to be a writer takes any lesson from my book, it should be that true key to success in writing comes from authenticity and hard work. If you have something to say, say it in as simple and emotionally authentic way that you can, and show up every day and put in the work to make it as good as possible. The recipe is simple, it’s the application that’s hard.

This is too easy...
So much for the thought that tattoos are “forever”. This is actually a really ingenius method of removal.
I favor the method where you just cut the offending skin off with a knife.
