Last week, a contractor bought a bathroom vanity at a Massachusetts Home Depot and discovered two 50-pound "bricks" of grass inside. Elsewhere in the state, a plumber purchased a similar product at an unnamed "hardware store" and opened it to find 40 pounds of weed plus 3 kilograms of cocaine. Police and DEA officials have swept a dozen Home Depots in the state and found other loaded vanities. From CNN: In each incident being investigated by Tewksbury Police, all of the merchandise boxes originated from a Texas location and were distributed through one Massachusetts warehouse, Peterson said.

"I'm sure the packages were being shipped to the distribution center and someone was supposed to intercept them," Peterson said. "So that person [who was supposed to intercept the packages] either wasn't on duty that day or the packages were marked wrong."

That's why they call him "dope", right? Seriously, if the guy had some past convictions, then I feel bad for him, but otherwise, what kind of idiot would alert the cops? At least take the weed and alert the cops to the coke, right?

One has to wonder how these numbnuts like Laura Ingraham, Cal Thomas, etc can say with a straight face that the problem with the war in Iraq is that the media aren't reporting all the good things going on over there. What they need to do, in this theory, is leave the Green Zone, go out and talk to the troops and find out whow things are really going.

Leaving aside the painfully obvious question - if reporters are cowards, why have more been killed in Iraq than in World War II? - you must, eventually, bang yoru head on the table in frustration with the even more obvious question: why don't you do it?

How is it that I hear so much about what reporters should do from who themselves are apparently unwilling to do it? If there were good news to report, wouldn't FOX News be reporting it? Or are they part of the liberal media conspiracy now? Seriously, with all the people out there in the journimalistic media eager to tell the good news about Iraq, why can't any of them find any? Where is the Laura Ingraham who will report the good news instead of just accusing other reporters of ignoring it? How is it that no one eager to report the good news from Iraq happens to be reporting on Iraq?

That "good news" line is getting stale, folks, and people know it. Just as surely (and slowly) as they are figuring out that there is so much talk about the liberal media, you have to wonder who isn't talking about it. In fact, if you turned down all that yakking about the liberal media, the remaining media would be consipicuous for their silence. Then again, the fact- and reality-based media can't talk about the "liberal media" much, because they've got to report the actual news. So either the facts have a liberal bias, or once you take the plain old facts away, there just ain't much left to be the "liberal media", eh?

Flatten loops.

I've seen some legitmate complaints recently about hostility to religion by some on the left. Not all Christians are represented by Pat Robertson and his ilk - in fact, the majority are not. So you are an atheist. Good for you - you've got your sacred cows, too.

The reason I mention this is that in mocking theocrats in America, people sometimes refer to swaths of the country as "Jesusland". This is unnecessarily offensive to non-theocratic Christians. The theocrats are in need of mockery, still.

So I offer you what appears, by googling, to be an original coinage: Churchistan.

Isn't that better?

for anyone who doubts that Japan is the home of some very weird porn - as well as some fractured english - consider the following fetish video titles.

• the fat eel and the loach are inserted into the anus of a lewd lesbian
• the anus sad to an eel and a loach
• the tight hug is given to the falling earthworm
• the goldfish is split and with the shout and the wriggle
• morale lesbian wriggles and coming octupus wriggles
