For those Trivial Pursuit fans.. Wednesday got it's name from the Germanic/Norse God, Wodin, whose followers thought him worthy of a day named after him.. hence, Wodenstaeg, slurred to Wednesday for we Amerikaners. Quakers refuse to use the name, because they do not want to give credence to a pagan god.. so they call it '4th Day'. In the childhood poem of the 'birth' days of the week, 'Wednesday's Child Is Full Of Woe'. So don't be birthin' no babies on Wednesday, ok?

In the news today I see that Tom Ridge has come out with his true confessions that the terroist 'color alarm' system was a ruse of the government.. YA THINK? He said he had to raise & lower the rainbow flags against his will, simply to flaunt the fearmongering power of a 'color' for his fearless misleader.
Well now aint that special.. the Devil made him do it.
Needless to say I'll be glad to be rid of the ridiculous system. I got tired of waiting for 'good' colors like Mauve (be very afraid!) Chartruse (I'm not kidding!) Brick ( No fear, just a confusing color in the Crayola 48 series) or Peach (yes YOU honky.. duck & cover!)
Is there anything to take seriously about this administration anymore? It's been a farce since the get-go. And even as the Shrub gives a speech on the darling democracy of Georgia, someone throws a grenade at him. I guess it takes awhile before Freedom of Speech comes to the fore. But then, we've lost that right as well, what with Murdoch and the Shock & Awe Boys of Clear Channel & FOX. So maybe it's just a meaningless platitude anyway.

Here's something to do for fun on a calm & tranquil Wednesday. Do what Dan & I did.. go to your local Ace Hardware store & purchase a huge ax. Don't say a word, just keep a maniacal grin on your face the whole time your checking out. Stroke the blade as you wink at your spouse.. It'll keep the employees talking for hours.
Then come home & go after that dead tree stump like billy-hell.


Any way you chose, have a super Wodenstaeg, you hear?
