I was just advised by my TV that women should not take drugs designed to reduce 
prostate swelling.  Hmmm.  Talk about sexism.  

Bishop G. E. Patterson has died.  He was head of COGIC (Church of God In 
Christ) -- known mostly for the fancy hats worn by the female COGIC saints at 
the annual COGIC Convention here in Memphis and for being poor tippers(well, 
known so mostly  by white people in Memphis).  Hmmm.  Let's not talk about that.

I see that Saudi Arabia has criticized our invasion of Iraq, calling it 
illegitimate.  Hmmm.  It took them 4 years to figure that out?  Maybe we should 
invade Saudi Arabia for our oil.  Say we're using them for a staging area 
against Iraq.  Cheer: "Go, Sunnis, go" -- that kind of thing.  All we want is 
cheap oil and the Saudis seem to be a lot dumber than the Iraqi Shiites.  

That's all.
