Teh Stupid- now in the Easy-to-Carry Smaller Package!

* A claim came in against a client of mine this afternoon. It was filed by World's Foremost Bank. Wowsers; I figure with a name like that, they MUST be too big to fail and, thus, we'll be bailing them out sometime in the next several months.

* I've been reading a firynze-recommended pile of paperback slush from almost 15 years ago. It was recommended so I could agonize over enjoy the hundreds of authentic Upstate New York place references surrounding an equally authentic, but totally renamed, central location. It took half the book and three guesses, but I eventually got it. I also figured out the murderer, through the time-tested method of skipping ahead to the back. At the rate it was going, I was more than halfway into the 400-page paperback and the author had revealed four of the eventual five murder victims- all of whom, from the look of it, died of boredom. Yet all of that pales in comparison to the utterliest slushiest line I've read all year:

"Janice had been murdered exactly two years ago. The anniversary had been two weeks earlier."

Given that kind of manipulation of the space-time continuum, I'd be on the lookout either for an odd-looking telephone box or a dude wearing a war-era coat with really cool epaulets on it. Possibly both.

* Not to be outdone by Sarah Palin being able to see Russia from her house, her partner-in-crazy Michele Bachmann can see the Soviet Union from hers:

In an interview conducted today by Christian radio host Jay Sekulow, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann offered up her latest and perhaps funniest flub. According to the congresswoman, the USSR still poses a pretty big threat to the USA — even if the Union disbanded, oh, 20 years ago.

In Soviet Union, wacko politicians choose YOU!

P.S. Michele blames these gaffes on her grueling schedule- far worse than the one she'd actually have in the JOB, yaknow- and on the media for reporting about them.

Shoot me now, Ivan.

Those migraines must really hurt.

I love Michele Bachmann, really I do. She is some kind of quality crazy. She may be my new crazy politician crush, pushing out long-time incumbent Rod ("Odd") Blagojevich.
