Joe Biden is Amazing
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
His comments on Bush's speech in Israel are spot on -- as were those from Reid, Pelosi, Dean, and Kerry.
I hope they all remain as aggressive and vocal in the Presidential campaign ahead.

Yes We Shall
I wrote some of the lyrics for this. Also, I'm in it for a few seconds. Spread the word. Commander '08.

My Job Rules Part 28039
Writing a sketch where two AOTS writers passionately argue over the funniness of a poop joke in the style of the Continental Congress is considered part of my daily responsibilities. Also, a taxidermied goat is there.

Anniversary Salad
The exact date is unknown, but this week is the ten year anniversary of my decision to go vegetarian.
While I spent the first few months eating fish and started up the habit again two years ago, I have not had chicken, beef, pork, turkey, Cornish game hen, or any other red or white meat since 1998.
Go, me.
I guess a dinner at Real Food Daily or Elf Cafe is in order.

Fun Club A&A Night 1
Axis and Allies 'til 2AM. With a break for "Battlestar."
The Soviet soldiers fought well. True to history, they were valiant and expendable.

My Nose Works!
Wow.
I just got my splints removed.
Observation - nasal splints are f'ing HUGE. Like, the size of your palm big. It wasn't quite, as my friend Mike Shaw predicted, like the bathroom scene in "Total Recall," but I bet it looked like it.
INT. SURGEON'S OFFICE
CASEY sits, wincing in a chair while the SURGEON pulls something out of his left nostril. Casey is not in pain, but rather dealing with the very strange sensations.
SURGEON
... and there's the first splint.
Casey opens his eyes.
CASEY
Whoa. I didn't know those things were that big!
SURGEON
No one does. This is why I don't show them to you before I put them in your nose. OK, one more.
The surgeon pulls another enormous sheet of plastic from Casey's right nostril. Then, he hands him a tissue.
SURGEON
You may bleed a small amount for the next hour or so. Try breathing gently through your nose.
Casey, for the first time in his life, feels air flow easily through both nostrils.
CASEY
Oh my God! My nose works!
END.

I'm a big fan of David Byrne, and have been for a long time.
I'm a latecomer to Paul Simon's "Graceland." But when I heard the song "I Know What I Know," I wanted to hear David Byrne singing it.
I would have killed to see this live:
... also, "You Can Call Me Al."
