Operation Enduring Inanity

[sophiaserpentia]

So, 15 of the 30 nations in the "coalition of the willing" aren't even willing to have their names listed at a press conference? How 'willing' can they possibly be? And look at the ones who were listed. The U.S., Turkey, and Uzbekistan -- partners for freedom. Schyeah. It's like living in a Philip K. Dick novel.

But I don't have to look at the world for insanity, it's right here on my doorstep. Apparently there's a bill in Baton Rouge that would allow us to choose between "In God We Trust" on our license plates and the current blurb, "Sportsmen's Paradise." THAT's a choice? Why can't I choose "None of the Above?" Well, someone is suggesting "America's Wetland" too, maybe they'll combine the bills and make that a third option. In any case all of them are more palatable than "Freedom" or some-such.

Also it seems that the Superdome and the "mini-me" (the New Orleans Arena) are facing budget shortfalls. So I wonder, with a sigh, what Medicaid programs to severely disabled children are going to be cut THIS time so the state won't bounce its check to the NFL?

I like the license plate motto:
Louisiana -- soon to be America's first underwater state.

not to mention the NBA, now that the hornets are there.

OH -- almost forgot about them. So amend my question above to, which severely disabled children and infirm elderly will be left out in the cold, so checks to the NFL and NBA won't bounce?
