Some people are like a Slinky, not good for anything, but you can't help but smile when you see them fall down the stairs.

Ouch?

How much bogocity (bugusness?) can one day hold?

• GM and Chrysler want an additional $21.6 billion to get them back on track and admit they could need more. Does the phrase, "good money after bad" come to mind for anybody else?
  
• A-Rod tells us he doesn't know what, if any benefit he got from the injections he had his cousin give him. But then they were over-the-counter drugs, so long as it's OK that the counter is in the Dominican Republic. Because those drugs were illegal in the states.
• Senator Roland Burris today said that he didn't just get requests, but actually worked to raise money for former Gov. Blago. The crazy part is, he didn't say this in any formal session. He just started talking and out it came. This guy is a 20 watt bulb. Maybe.
• Pres. Obama traveled to Denver today to sign the stimulus bill. That's the bill that includes billions for a high speed train from Las Vegas to Disneyland. It's purely coincidence that Las Vegas is in the district of Senator Harry Reid, Democratic leader of the Senate.

Those who argue prostitution is a victimless "crime" took a hit today. Remember that Desert Divas case - the one that busted a high-end prostitution ring and led to the release of all the client's names? In the process of their investigation into the ring's leaders the authorities got a tip about a murder-for-hire plot. They arrested David Elms, 37, who is described as one of the country's leading moguls in the sex industry. He came here from L.A. yesterday to meet someone he had hired to kill a woman and have a 62-year old man seriously injured.

I stained the table top this morning. I was concerned that the stain wouldn't match well enough but it's indistinguishable from the rest of the table. Tomorrow, after the stain has had 24 hours to dry, I'll put three coats of urethane on it and have it ready to take back on Thursday afternoon.

Tough day. Stuff. I'm turning in.
G'night.
