A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
I was watching the Scooby Doo Channnel, mainly because the History Channel was once again covering WWII, when I saw a commercial for a Dora the Explorer toy cash regisiter. Besides teaching our kids how to conspicuously consume, it even has Spanish phrases. SPANISH PHRASES! This abomination must be stopped! This is America. We don't speak Spanish! Somebody alert the Minutemen so they can watch the Toys 'R' Us!
