How many Antichrists are there?

More than Shrubwit can count?

Less attacking trees and fires and such this morning, please.

No temp work and my book project kaput has been putting me in a funk.

But the silver lining is that after two thirds of a summer devoted to an intense baseball schedule, Emmett can just flop around and have a few lazy summer days before school starts again on Aug. 27th.

He's got his Batman Legos out and he's watching old Batman animated while polishing off some toast with raspberry jam.

Yesterday we saw Tropic Thunder, played arcade games and treated ourselves to Beard Papa cream puffs (me) and a chocolate fondant (for him).

How many Antichrists are there?

Well there are many proto-Antichrists, but only one is chosen.

McCain thinks it's more important for Republicans to be anti-gay than anti-abortion.

"I think that the pro-life position is one of the important aspects or fundamentals of the Republican Party. And I also feel that -- and I'm not trying to equivocate here -- that Americans want us to work together. You know, [former Pennsylvania Governor] Tom Ridge is one of the great leaders and he happens to be pro-choice. And I don't think that that would necessarily rule Tom Ridge out ... I think it's a fundamental tenet of our party to be pro-life but that does not mean we exclude people from our party that are pro-choice. We just have a -- albeit strong -- but just it's a disagreement. And I think Ridge is a great example of that. Far more so than [New York City Mayor Michael] Bloomberg, because Bloomberg is pro-gay rights, pro, you know, a number of other issues."

Veepstakes: McCain's Pro-Choice Trial Balloon?

Hec, what agency are you using? I was with an agency for years and was busy as often as I wanted - do you want a referral? I think I still have contacts there, even though I was temping from 2002-2004 for them.

And I can't believe I gave Bush more credit.

California Pre-Teen Slang Note: This which are cool or awesome are now "Beast."

As in, "The Joker is so beast."

Or, as Emmett sang it in the living room a second ago, "Watching Batman is so beast-mode..."

Well there are many proto-Antichrists, but only one is chosen.

My theory is that every reality/Bizzaro-world has its Antichrist. But then they all sneak over here to our reality.
