another reason why i love my mom

Subject: july 1947


Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an
unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle
ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident that
many say has long been covered up by U.S. Air Force and the federal
government.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948,
exactly nine months later, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald
Rumsfeld, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condoleezza Rice, and Dan Quayle were all born.

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?

This information may clear up a lot of questions.

the Gay Bomb?!?!?!

...and to think the religious right doesn't believe that love can conquer all...

"In fact, the Pentagon has used itrepeatedly and subsequently in an effort to promotenon-lethal weapons, and in fact they submitted it tothe highest scientific review body in the country forthem to consider."Military officials insisted Friday to CBS 5 that theyare not currently working on any such idea and thatthe past plan was abandoned.Gay community leaders in California said Friday thatthey found the notion of a "gay bomb" both offensiveand almost laughable at the same time."Throughout history we have had so many brave men andwomen who are gay and lesbian serving the militarywith distinction, " said Geoff Kors of EqualityCalifornia. "So, it's just offensive that they thinkby turning people gay that the other military would beincapable of doing their job. And its absurd becausethere's so much medical data that shows that sexualorientation is immutable and cannot be changed." (© MMVII, CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

captain's log: stardate, last saturday

mom,
this morning, as i was biking myself to the pool and trying to convince my muscles that they did, indeed, want to contract and relax and propell my body towards my destination, i couldn't help but wish that i was on my way down 65 to 74 to come sit on your deck and do a lot of nothing but laugh and maybe make some chicken salad with grapes in it, and maybe a jar of sun tea.
i made it through my morning and into the hospital, where i quickly agreed to sit on my can for eight hours and prop my eyes open with industrial strength coffee while i listen to old westerns on the patient's tv.
all in all it may not be a bad night. but i still wish i was headed down that interstate to hear you laugh and sigh.
hope all is well,
love you,
love,
me
