Ok, ok, thanks to this explanation about the war from a Warmonger to a Peacenik, now I finally get the war. Wow, I didn’t realize it was all that plain and simple. [via Jay. War gives him a headache too.]

By the way – can someone, anyone, point me to the official statement that the UN made when they told Bush that he couldn’t go and start a war? And then the link to an article about Bush’s speech on TV where he said that he didn’t care what the UN said, we had to go? (I know I’m paraphrasing here, that is why I’m looking for the actual articles.) I tried Google searches left and right, but I haven’t had any luck. Help? Anyone?

Speaking of Bush’s appearances, just how sure can you be that that is really him on TV anyways?. “Some experts suspect that this might be a heretofore unknown Bush brother, a family sleeper who has been groomed to step in at times of crisis, or even George Bush Sr on his first outing following a recent toupee fitting and a course of Botox injections.” [also via Jay.]

Just last week I mentioned using GZip to compress my website. Now it seems that scientist are asking File Compression: New Tool for Life Detection? “As a measure of overall pattern complexity, they find that the inherent pixel content of biologically generated fossils produces higher image compression ratios [more data redundancy], compared to their non-biological counterparts. The more the file shrinks, the more likely it is that a living process was involved.” [via Slashdot]

Hmmm… I wonder if Matt knew about this when he lead us all to gzip?

Need some amusement these days? Head on over to Saddam’s Cyber Palace – Saddam Hussein’s Blogspot site! If that’s not enough for you, you can always visit Bob from Accounting. [via Faith]

Off to EJ and Sherry’s wedding shower! Fun and good times for all!

Nicole and I are going to run for office. Don’t you think it is a good idea? I mean, if the world isn’t a better place with us in power, at least it would be a lot more fun!

Plus she makes the coolest hats. Did I mention that she made me a hat? She did, it rocks, and I love it. I need to post a picture of me in the hat – it should be in the 40s in Houston tonight, so I think I shall wear the hat one more time before the heat of summer takes over!

It’s been almost a month since one of my attorneys asked me if I had ever heard of a “blawg”, so I was amused to see my site listed on the Legal Web Site Directory: Sites of the Month list! Considering I am a paralegal, it’s somewhat fitting – even though this is the only blog on the list that isn’t full of posts about legal issues. (I should note that this site is correctly cited as bigpinkcookie.com not blahblahblog.com, although that’s an easy mistake and both domains work.)

It may be the only time that this site and Ernie the Attorney make the same list. In the next few weeks I will actually be launching a more legal-related blog at a separate domain. I will be sure to post about it here, of course. I’ve got some discovery to get through first though!
