This situation (two anti-abortion activists anointing the door to the Senate hearing room where Alito’s confirmation hearing is being held) leaves me with one question:

Door anointing — do you use WD-40 for that?

It’s kismet! At lunch today I discussed with my co-workers the idea of an unrestricted Olympic-style competition. No drug testing, no gender definition — just the basic rules of the game. We could even add trophies for creative drug use (multi-cocktail, obscure natural remedies, ground-breaking application or usage). Sports Illustrated is onto this idea too, discussing ski champion Bode Miller’s confession to competing drunk.

CC: “Steal My Idea” (Surely, Mark Cuban will see this and start doing it in Thailand or some other less-lawful country.)

I freely admit that I violated federal regulations recently by popping the flow restrictor out of my shower. Now, I may able to rectify my transregression by ordering from Zoe Industries Manufacturing. They may have found a legal way to get around the regulations.

They are not water anarchists; we aren’t talking about shower-reg secessionists here. But the company did insightfully observe that the restriction applies on a per-shower-head basis.
