The one night this week I get to go to bed early, and the fucking THUNDERSTORMS and LIGHTNING keep me up all night.

I seriously thought the lightning was going to burst through my window after it set off the alarm at Brahler's. I thought the lightning was going to steal my car after it shut off the power to our house.

And I imagined the poor chi and my nephews quivering in the dark. Khalil is scared of thunderstorms, like his mother (and probably his father too - what a bunch of babies).

And know this: PubSub monitors blog activity as well, as it tracks 5 million active blogs as they post at a rate of 1,165 new items per minute (average).

Who's watching the bloggers?

technorati.com, that's who.

In certain industries like the media, watching what the bloggers are blogging is critical. Look at CNN as they read from blogs on the air.

Go to technorati.com, and type in "Wily Beaver" into the search bar at the top. You will find Wish I'd been a child actor's post saying "Scott Weiland is FOXY!!!" among others.

Welcome to the blogosphere. If CNN asked you for an interview, skinny, please decline to comment.

I can't get over this Michael Isicoff and Muslim Bible story.

I just don't see why someone told Michael Isicoff they were flushing Korans down the toilet if they really weren't.

2 Possibilities: they really were sticking Korans in the toilet, or someone was feeding Newsweek false information in an attempt to discredit them.

And how do you flush a book down the toilet anyway. Pop Culture suggested that they were the mini Korans like the bibles you get at the laundry mat.

Andrew Sullivan, a anti-Bush conservative blogger, put it like this:

A simple question: after U.S. interrogators have tortured over two dozen detainees to death, after they have wrapped one in an Israeli flag, after they have smeared naked detainees with fake menstrual blood, after they have told one detainee to "Fuck Allah," after they have ordered detainees to pray to Allah in order to kick them from behind in the head, is it completely beyond credibility that they would also have desecrated the Koran?

... the outrage from the White House is beyond belief. It seems to me particularly worrying if this incident further intimidates the press from seeking the truth about what the government is doing in the war on terror.

I know it's not funny to use crude language just for the hell of it, but if I worked for newsweek I'd tell the Pentagon to suck my dick.

I'd write a big piece about how they could do it too.
