Quick housekeeping update: Fixed the links to
Where is Raed? and
The Homeless Guy. Their URLs had moved, and I had forgotten to change 'em in the template.

The Daily Kos tagline for the Bush Missile Shield, for which most testing was cancelled and the funds diverted into immediate deployment before the election:
Faith-Based Defense. "Faith-based defense"... do I sense a Kerry attack ad in the making?

Kerry-McCain 2004?
It could happen. I mean, it's not going to, but it sure would be cool if it did. That would be a ticket I wouldn't want to be up against. Although speaking of Sen. McCain, he seems to be taking a lead in the Senate's crusade to
rid Major League Baseball of steroids. Do these people not have anything better to do? Oh well, if it makes him happy. At least it's not hurting anybody, unlike certain other
political hobby-horses.

Just added
HaloScan commenting. Notice the little "Comments" link under this post? And all the other ones? Well, if you click on it, you can (surprise!) leave comments for all the other little boys and girls to read.

Indecency fines.
This is the most important thing our government has to worry about? Someone's gotta check their priorities. MSNBC contributor Michael Ventre may
put it best:
...as usual, the booby prize goes to our government watchdogs. Because they’ve spent entire careers suckling off the taxpayer teat, these elected officials are uniquely qualified to preside over this matter.

So, it looks like Ford is (finally) going to
build some hybrids - based on licensed Toyota technology. It's about time an American manufacturer stepped up to the plate here, although it's sort of disappointing to see that they're too lame to actually figure out how to do it on their own. So much for GM's vaunted electric-car program. Sooner or later, the government is going to regulate greenhouse emissions, and it would be a shame if foreign cars suddenly became the only economically viable option at that point. Of course, I'm also just happy to see more hybrids out there. The less oil we burn, the better.
By the way, am I planning to just start writing again with absolutely no explanation of where I've been? Yep. Am I sure I actually am going to write on any sort of regular basis for the forseeable future? Nope.
It's good to be your own publisher.
