Who's there?

Campaign volunteers! Yay!

Given the proliferation of Washington State Symbols (most recently the Washington State Vegetable), I would like to nominate the Mountain Beaver as the Washington State Rodent. Hey, we have an official Washington State Tartan. How ridiculous and ethno-centric is that? And I'm writing as an American with a healthy percentage of Scot-Irish blood, and as a Washingtonian with pioneer heritage to boot. We need to honor the Mountain Beaver.

Now settle down OlyBloggers. I can hear the protest swelling out there. I know you want to name the Nutria, also known as the Swamp Rat, as the official rodent. But they are an invasive species. The sympathy factor that they have been brought to the Fetid Lake of Doom (formerly known as Capitol Lake) by the Caiman Master in order to feed his reptilian pets doesn't apply.

On Saturday, May 26, ConspiraZine will be live from 4-6pm with your host, Mr. P. In the first hour, there will be an excerpt of Aldus Huxley’s 1962 lecture: The Ultimate Revolution. He essentially laid out a blueprint for the New World Order. Other quotes from conspirators and those exposing them will be discussed. The second hour of the show will be a live interview with Dr. Robert Duncan, an expert on directed energy and neurological weapons. There will be no live broadcast via the airwaves on 98.5FM, however, ConspiraZine can be heard via mp3 stream by going to www.frolympia.org.

ConspiraZine!
more conspiracy, less theory...

The attached image was known locally at least 20 years ago as the "Asshole Hat." I don't know why. Feel free to deconstruct.

So I'm driving on one of the many scenic backroads here in Grays Harbor County. You don't have to get too far away from the Roman Road of I-5 to soak in the real Washington. And here I'll be self-centric, by the real Washington I mean the Washington I grew up with, which partly predates I-5. I was able to drive at about 25 mph without holding up any traffic and enjoying the woods, when I turned a corner and saw a dilapidated couch.

I brought this to the attention of someone who, until recently, did not have the inclination to make puns. But because of a mutual love of wordplay, I have taken this person under my wing and attempted to pass on the ancient art of punning as taught to me by old punmasters in tunnels under Olympia now used by caimans for whatever nefarious thing it is they are planning.

In a feeble attempt at humor, I mentioned this couch must've escaped from it's owners in order to try living in the wild. "Yes," my student said, "It found out life isn't so [punch the word here] cushy out in the woods."

Oh, Grasshopper. That is so bad I wish I had thought of that. You have surpassed the Master. I can now retire and go on to lead a more normal life.

U.S. intelligence agencies warned the Bush administration before the Iraq war that al Qaeda and Iran could exploit a U.S. invasion to extend their sway in the region, a new Senate report said on Friday.

"Our intelligence community accurately predicted many aspects of the chaotic landscape that we see in Iraq today," said Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican who voted for the war in 2002 but soon afterward became a vocal critic.."
