This day is turning out like an episode of The Prisoner: The Animated Series. It's the annual World Day on the Mall, which is a sort of multicultural fair thing with food and bands, now combined with "Patriot Day" (schwa?) so that folks can celebrate their heritage with the flags at half-staff. Between the bands and the PA system, from inside the building it sounds like they're holding an elephant rodeo.

Music leaking in has been largely polka. This is what comes of living in a place where our ethnic heritage is, not to put too fine a point on it, largely lame. There's little I can add to the festivities unless I go out and boil the flavor out of some vegetables, then don a strap-on and bugger a sheep.

Ventured out at lunchtime. I saw a tiny child in full Three Amigos regalia in the lobby, apparently waiting to go out and dance.

Barber shop had a sign in its window: THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - PEOPLE WHO DEMAND FREEDOM OF SPEECH USE IT AS AN EXCUSE NOT TO EXERCISE FREEDOM OF THOUGHT! Uh...what the fuck does that even mean?

Found MIIB calendar for 2003 (www.meadweb.com). Rather nice, except that some rocket scientist decided that the Corn Face, Dogshit, and Third Eye aliens each deserved A FULL PAGE. So for the second time in 20 minutes, What the fuck?

Many flag t-shirts, sweaters, and temporary facial tattoos. If it makes you feel better, honey... Substitute Huskers for the flag and it might as well be a football game day. Hooray for our side.

So freedom of speech means not using your brain, or not taking advantage of the "freedom" of thought? you can talk about what you want, as long as you keep it to yourself? and if that guy had the right to put that moronic sign in his window, isn't that speech? or...?

head explodes

I think the barber's got a thin wedge of brain trapped in his skull.

Vali...help us...
