I haven't felt much like posting the last several days -- I think I've been in a little bit of shock at the rapid return to a more normal life evidenced by moving into my parents basement for a few months and beginning to ask myself how I'll attempt to make some money in this phase. :p

However, I have been glancing at the news and a few headlines caught my eye. In no particular order:

• The Palestinian Authority continues to show its love of peace and harmony, this time by naming a soccer tournament after a well-known terrorist. The winning team was named after a group of jihadists.

•  The Arkansas Legislature made a bit of a booboo in the last session...they legalized marriage for anyone under the age of 18 as long as they have parental consent. Apparently they were trying to say if someone was pregnant under 18 they could get married with the folks ok, but an errant "not" got into the text so anyone not pregnant under 18, etc. The funniest part is that the Governor will have to call a special session if he wants to fix it before the regular legislative season begins. Until it's fixed, 10- and 11-year-olds, or infants, will be allowed to marry.

• Some Indian tribes have been scamming illegal immigrants, selling membership in the tribe as a way to smooth the citizenship process. It's a total crock, but they're making money left and right.
