March 3, 2005
We've got a reservation snafu going with our tour company. Today I received three Emails from different people who sent in their money and have not received confirmation on their gunfighter tour reservations. If you are going with us and have not received a confirmation, would you contact me please. Plus, we still have room for a couple more. Don't miss out on a very historic road trip. You can tell your children you actually felt the completely gay fringe jacket. Or not. You can click at the top of this page on my personal Email address. Let me know ASAP. Thanks.

According to an Email Charlie Waters sent me, Wal-mart is going to produce their own wine. This is my favorite suggested name for their new private reserve: White Trashfindel

Tom Carpenter Emailed me an interesting take on the rise of BS in our culture. Here’s a taste:
“Why should bullshit be so prevalent now? The obvious answer is the communications revolution. Cable television and the Internet have created an unending demand for information, and there simply isn't enough truth to go around. So, we get bullshit instead. Indeed, there are some troubling signs that the consumer has come to prefer bullshit. In choosing guests to appear on cable news, bookers will almost always choose a glib ignoramus over an expert who can't talk in clipped sentences.”

If you’d like to read the entire piece, here’s the address:

And speaking of which:
