Yes, I do question their patriotism

Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude. It's that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when the Braves have lost 9 straight.

Road trips
UPDATE 18 NOV 2006: Check here for more on our trip to Tightwad.
So my roadtrip buddy -- Darf-man -- decides he's gonna pack up and move to middle-of-nowhere Australia. I've had friends threaten to do such a thing. With Darf, I had no doubt he'd eventually be living down-under. Note the anti-kangaroo defenses on the front of the car. Cool.

High School Sports
Via the Insta-dude, Prof. Volokh posts on a new rule in Connecticut that will punish the coach of any high school football team that wins by more than 50 points. They call it "score management."
My thoughts in the extended entry.

Letter to the Editor
My letter to the editor of the Arizona Republic in regards to this cartoon in the extended entry.
Update: The Insta-dude has been saying for a while that "[if] you don't like ideas, don't bother arguing with them. Just threaten to kill people. They'll back down. Or at least their booksellers, universities, and governments will."
Marines won't ever threaten to kill someone based on their speeches, statements, or cartoons. In fact, it is because of the Marines that individuals like Steve Benson may draw whatever they want. Funny that they never seem to draw anything that offends folks who will kill based on speeches, statements, and/or cartoons they disagree with.
Some bloggy goodness
I took this photo in Dawson City in the Yukon, Canada. The only missing is a sad pup, waiting anxiously for his best friend to get out of class.
I've made a few additions to the blog roll. Mets Blog, Mostly Mets, and the Ed Kranepool Society added under "Sports Blogs."
Also added, four photo blogs, listed under "Alaskan Blogs." Check out JFlame Photos, Alaska365, Northern Exposure, and Frozen Images.
I've had Michael Yon on the blogroll for a while, but I hadn't updated the link to his new site. Head here to read a quick biography on the former Green Beret.
A French publishing company apparently used one of Michael's images without permission. You can read more at Advertising Age and Jack Yan, as well Michael's site [here and here].
Blackfive is calling for a boycott of Car & Driver magazine. Not a magazine I read anyway, but I have purchases a half-dozen copies of American Photo over the last few years. Won't do that again [the magazine isn't even that good].
As I see it, a former Green Beret against a French corporate giant? Hard to tell who the underdog is here.

I concur!
Mets Geek gives seven reasons why it's good to be a Mets fan right now.
And it is good. More in the extended entry.

Live, after death
The other day I wondered if one could blog from the afterlife. As a matter of fact, you can.
You can also grant interviews.
Priceless.

Ironic Quote of the Day
From Gateway Pundit:
"By the sound of his latest bizarre internet recording, it appears that Al Zarqawi has lost his head."
In case you've been living in a snow cave and didn't catch the irony...
Might wanna edit his latest bizarre internet recording to coalition chopper attack.

Dozer
Here's a shot of a snowplow in Dawson City, way up in the Yukon. The winters are harsh here in Anchorage. I can only imagine how rough they are up there in Dawson City.
