I guess they call it "Ultimate" for a reason...

This is not on my Amazon wishlist. Check out the "Number of discs" line and laugh over the idea that it's TWO-HUNDRED AND TWELVE DISCS!

That said, I do know people who would likely fork over the dosh for it. All $2,800 or so.

Duke Goes Gonzo

Sorry about the lack of updates, witticisms, etc., dear readers. I've been swamped with work on the year-end issue of the magazine and taking care of wedding details, while Amy & I have been adjusting to our new living-in-sin work schedules. I oughtta be back on track in a week or so.

Part of the reason I haven't posted is because my head was blown off by the news that David Duke, Klansman and former representative from Louisiana, spoke at a rally in Damascus to support Bashar Assad.

I thought, "There's no way on earth this story is real. Sure, it'd make for a great 'Anti-Zionism Leads to Strange Bedfellows' headline, but come on."

Amy, a Louisiana native, asked, "Do you think he hates Jews more than non-whites?"

I opined that he probably doesn't hate non-whites so much as he doesn't want them in America. As long as they stick to Syria, I bet he's fine with the existence of Arab people. In principle.

So I finally sat down last night and tried to source the story. First thing I found? Why, "The Official Website of Representative David Duke, PhD"! And it's filled with links and soundclips from Duke's visit to Syria! Enjoy!

(And I've determined that it's okay--despite all the hardships that hurricane Katrina has inflicted on people--to laugh about the fact that it also dropped a tree on Duke's house.)
