It's Friday, Everyone!

And there are a few things in the news that on a normal day I might say more on (heh, I said, "moron"), but today will have to be a series of bullet points, because there's just too damned much...

- We've apparently got ourselves some kind of threat against our subway system here in New York. New York officials say it's real without telling us what it is (although it apparently has to do with a bomb in a baby carriage -- stupid babies), while those laid back officials in Washington are all, "What me, worry?"

- Mother Dickhead/Boba Rove is being called to testify in front of the grand jury again. Is that blood I smell?

- Yankees/Angels are tied at 1-1; Astros/Braves are at 1-1, as well; the Chisox are up 2-0 over the Bosox; and the Cards are up 2-0 over the Padres. There's been little drama so far, but boy, I do love the post-season baseball.

- Some things never get old.

- Keeping the ten commandments out of courts and intelligent design out of schools is important to me because I feel they represent some important steps down a slippery slope of right-wing freakdom taking over our fine government. But a couple of smart people make one of the best rational arguments in favor of the separation of church and state I've ever read. And with such level-headedness. (That link may be subscription only, so a cheap summary is that centuries of church/state interconnectedness has caused the "homegrown terrorist" phenomenon in Europe. If we want to avoid that here, we need to make sure the religion of immigrants isn't perceived as second-class to Christianity or Judaism in the eyes of the government.)

- And on the what-the-fuck-wackadoo front, we've got this.
