What do I want to know and when do I want to know it?

My questions for the world today are simply:

1. How do I get on all these e-mailing lists? How does it happen? Total unsubscribe party happening.

2. Why do you think it's better to start the school year in early August than to start it in September like normal people? (This one directed at Arizona.)

3. How many deaths will it take 'til they know/that too many people have died? (I didn't make that one up. But I would like the answer.)

Those are my questions.

Meanwhile, in the hoopla over the 40th anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation, let's not forget that this means it's also the anniversary of my boy Gerald Ford's ascension to the throne. What a great time to be in the G-Rap (area)!
