My post about the Pledge of Allegiance issue was pretty tame compared to the awesome post that William wrote today. William? You’re my hero.

Damn it, Amazon! I don’t build things! Kymberlie gets lanterns, meanwhile Amazon thinks that I am rich and I need some serious power tools! (I’m only posting the price that the gold box offered it at.)

Anyway, home restumping has become a multi-million dollar industry and its demand remains high. However, not many contractors offer high-quality restumping services. Contractors do planning before restumping a house. In such circumstances, the homeowner experiences huge losses and is forced to start renovating the home all over again once the stumps are replaced.

It should be notied that I don’t know how to build. At all. Good picks there, Amazon.

Saturday Night Live gets “two-thumbs up” from me for informing us of the new color scheme for the Homeland Security Advisory System. The warning colors?

Off-white: Huge risk of Terrorist Attack
Cream: Immense Risk of Terrorist Attack
Putty: Enormous Risk of Terrorist Attack
Bone: Gigantic Risk of Terrorist Attack
Natural: Enormous Risk of Terrorist Attack

Memorize the colors. Know the code. Now we can all be on the lookout!
