"have some more chicken have some more pie / it doesn't matter if its boiled or fried / just eat it"

It's been a disappointing monsoon season so far -- a couple big storms, but a lot of "it's raining over there and booming over yonder, but never here." This is not unusual, but still disappointment when these storms give us half our rainfall for the year.

More than one person, when shown Weird Al Yankovic's "Mission Statement," has claimed it's too close to reality to be funny. I defend it by claiming it's not actually a parody. The animation style, which I happen to like, is perfect though.

Also not parody: Arizona residents resisting Border Patrol checkpoints far from the border. (via?)

Some ferocious beasts you should stay away from.
