Tie Clip and Sniper Fire

Friday, Apr. 04, 2008 - 12:54 a.m.

I flew to Anaheim yesterday. Surprise!

As usual, my hair was matted and sweaty, my packing was shitty, and my face was red with rosacea.

And when I went through security? I was the lucky dingleberry chosen to step into the little booth and get some extra lovin'

It was an all girl search festival; I haven't had this much girl on girl action since I lived in Chico.

They were extremely nice about it but wow, I was really surprised at how thorough they were.

In fact, now that I think about it, they were searching me and my things as if a manager were lurking.

Then, when it was all over, and they figured out I wasn't crazy or drunk or sick or ding-headed, they let me go -- and right when I was putting my belt and shoes back on and then reaching for the Purell after touching my feetses -- I found an undeclared and illegal tube of lip balm that I hadn't placed in the Bag O' Unguents.

So, the joke was on them.

Then I got down to Anaheim, retrieved my luggage, was found by Old Buddy Dave, and we went to his place where a new iPod shuffle was waiting.

I'm figuring on John taking this one to work and eventually inheriting it when he upgrades to an iTunes that will actually see the device, so I gave it the very unisex name of 'Tie Clip.'

It seems to be a nice gadget.

It was a nice productive first day of the visit.

I'm gonna give mad props here to Slick Hilly aka Hillary Clinton for a funny line from The Tonight Show.

She said she'd been late getting there because she'd had to dodge sniper fire.

Just because that lying cow shouldn't be president doesn't mean she didn't get off an excellent line.

For those who are old enough, take a minute and think about things today and think of the appalling fact that it took forty years for this nation to accept the possibility of an African American becoming president.

But it's POSSIBLE now.

Okay. There ya go. Have a nice Friday!
