Happy birthday to Kate who had the happ-happ-happiest birthday possible at quizzo last night, finishing in next to last. Kate shares her special day with Confucius and basketball star Latrell Sprewell. If you have a birthday coming up, please contact Johnny so he can put your photo on the website.

The Ph****** Phillies will not be going to the playoffs this year. David Bell made sure of that with a ninth inning error in last nights game. I had stupidly allowed myself to be seduced by this team. I got excited as Chase Utley and Ryan Howard proved that they are going to be superstars. I was excited that Pat the Bat’s career wasn’t over. We had a world class closer, and two excellent setup men. I didn’t see a World Series in our immediate future, but I saw a dramatic sprint for the playoffs, a September to remember, and even allowed myself to dream about seeing a live playoff game. But our playoff chances are now about as good as Kanye West’s chances of getting invited to a White House fundraiser. The season’s over in early September, and there’s only one thing left to say. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!

If you are looking to be completely freaked out, read this article written in National Geographic last August. It completley foretells the disaster. In fact, I am wondering if this is some sort of hoax, becasue I can’t possibly believe that this was written a year ago. It predicts exactly what happened last week in New Orleans. Thanks to Scott for forwarding this to me.

Though I have conflicting feelings about Eazy E, I still wanna wish him a happy birthday. If he were still alive, he would be turning 42 today. He is the Godfather of Gangsta Rap, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. But he reminds me a bit of Eminem in that his lyrics were not only extremely impressive, but also so over the top that they were more amusing than they were violent. He was the founder of NWA, and without him, there would be no Ice Cube or Dr. Dre, meaning that there would probably be no Snoop Dogg or Eminem. His song Boyz N Tha Hood inspired a PA working on the set of Pee Wee’s Playhouse (John Singleton) to write a film based on the song. Eric “Eazy E” Wright died of AIDS in 1995.

Sorry it took me so long to post the letters from the editor, but the last month was completely insane. So below are the ones I liked best. Some have had stuff edited b/c they were so long. Please vote for the one you like best in the poll on the right side of the page so that we can determine who gets the $50.

Who killed President William McKinley on September 6th, 1901?

Not everybody thinks that Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster. Some think it was a man made disaster, an opportunity for the illuminati to impose their will on the people. Take this, from niburu:
the Illuminati plan is to create maximum chaos to instill maximum fear to create a sense of maximum dependency on authority. They want multi-levelled chaos to justify the imposition of marshal law, ?holding? (concentration) camps, centralised dictatorship, and the Orwellian global state in all its forms. The engineered terrorism and the ?war on terrorism? are, in this regard, part of the same agenda that includes crashing the world economy, bringing the United States into conflict with China, and ?natural? catastrophes like New Orleans.
Well worth checking out the whole page. Completely insane. Well, this got me off on a tangent about weather seeding, because the conspiracy websites tend to think that’s how it was done. Turns out that Malaysia recently tried cloud seeding to put out a fire, and Russia used it to assure a sunshiney day when they had a military parade in 2003.
Another crackpot theory: The hurricane was God’s ways at showing his anger at homosexuality. Southern Decadence, a gay pride parade, was scheduled for the past week, and was stopped by the hurricane. Repent America, the same organization that protested at the Phillies game last month, believes that the hurricane is God’s way of punishing a ‘wicked city’. Hey Repent America, Jerry Springer called. He needs some ignorant white trash for his next show, and he thinks you guys will be perfect.

This is mayor Ben Morris of Slidell, Louisiana talking about what a supreme failure FEMA is, and that if they keep slowing things down, they better be prepared to bring guns. This is good stuff. If you don’t have audio, just click below to read the transcript.

Here’s the worst analogies ever written in a high school essay. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

It was on this date 30 years ago that Squeaky Fromme tried to kill Gerald Ford. I have read that her tentative release date is today, but I can’t find any news stories saying that she’s getting out. If anybody sees anything, please post it below. In the meantime, here’s an interview she did a few years ago.
