Shear Terror
It’s time for the estate of the late John Belushi to take action against the Shrubbery.
They stole his “Mission from G-d” bit from The Blues Brothers and now they are “borrowing” his Samurai routine from Saturday Night Live.
Digby reports on the arrest of Walid Muhammad Farhan Juwar al-Zubaydi, Al Qaeda hair stylist.
Come on, this is an obvious rip off, and John’s estate deserves credit and royalties.

Oh, Joy
With the official naming of Wilma, 2005 has tied the 1933 record for most named storms in a season: 21; if Wilma becomes a hurricane, 2005 will tie the 1969 record for most hurricanes in a season: 12; and if, as is forecast, Wilma becomes a category 3 storm, 2005 will tie the 1996 record for most major hurricanes in a season: 6.
What a thrill, I have a ring-side seat for the worst hurricane season on record.
