Current country music hit: "The Bumper of my S.U.V." It's about the pride Chely feels in putting a U.S. Marines sticker on the back of her very own symbol of American greed.

Love that flag, General Patton...er...Chely.

Be good for Zord.

Then what do you do with it?

Bush v. Salmon

In a big "fuck you" to environmentalists (that's you, Galen), Bush plans to remove "critical habitat" status for more than 80% of the currently-protected streams and rivers on the West Coast. Bottom line? Salmon habitat will only be protected where the fish are today, not where they were historically.

New place.

New phone?

This may be my new phone. My old phone battery lasts for about 5 minutes and it's cheaper to get a brand new phone than a new battery. I'm only worried about the camera. Quite a few courts don't allow "recording devices" and cameras in the courthouse. Considering, however, that pretty much anything these days is a "recording device" - any computer, a PDA, most non-camera phones, etc., I think they're pretty lax about it as long as you don't, you know, start taking pictures. Lawyers would be up in arms if they couldn't bring their phones into court - and considering that most phones sold these days have cameras, I think a change in the rules might be imminent.

Stacks of pennies.
