Al-Jimzeera Talking Points

* Bill O'Reilly: "You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead." I do want Al-Queda to blow up Bill O'Reilly.

* Possible episode of The Jim Behrle Show? Let me hear you say AWWW? AWWW! YEAAH?? YEAHH!!

* Is it wrong to assume when people have anything other than a cute photo of themselves in their blogger profile photo that they are hideous fanged monsters? Because then I'd be *wrong*. Chalk this one up to people who present one blurry photo of themselves on friendster and then like 8 of their cats and one of a kite in the tree. With all the technology we now have if you can't send one cute photo of yourself into the world (and not one where like your nose is cropped off or whatever, or just your big toe) then ??? Cough cough. Imagine if you could do that in real life. Hold a money cat in front of your face all the time. Or wear a George Bush mask around.

* The blogboard has reappeared so that people can send me secret, anonymous messages and tips on poets' bad behavior at parties and such, without fear that I'll track them down or whatever. The cartoonin' requires constant infusions of funny and you should do your part. In its first incarnation, the blogboard became a tiresome performance space of boring primping and nothingness: that's what your own blog's for. The ratings are higher here, and not because of anything *you ever did*. Mwa ha.

I'm also testing a blogger version of this blog at al-jimzeera.blogspot.com. I'll keep you apprised.

* "These baseless attacks send the wrong signal to our troops and to an enemy that is questioning America's will," Bush said. Yeah! Turn those frowning polls upsidedown, everybody! Or else they're really gonna get us!
