Dear Bob --
You are The King of Snark. I wish you could write a new essay every day.
Sometimes I catch myself reading your blog and your essays three or four times a day. Is this getting to be a "habit?" I'm OK with that.
If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Adoringly,
Me.

Anymore paragraphs like this, and I would do him:
"It doesn't matter, ultimately, how much knowledge you attain via The Google. Realistically, you'd need tens of millions of dollars; centrifuges; radioactive elements like uranium and plutonium; delicious yellow cake; various important-looking scientists (I recommend Germans -- they're really sciency); missile launching gadgets; rocket fuel; helmets; radiation suits; protective eyewear; and all varieties of other fancy-shmancy resources in order to build an actual bomb."
I love the spongy skull thing. And this: Knowledge. That's the cause now. So let's say, just for argument's sake, that this new policy of smoking out knowledge is for real and not just the administration's political escape pod after the NIE proved the hawks to be full of hawky shit. The foreign policy of the United States, therefore, will be to threaten war against any nation that has the knowledge to build a nuclear bomb regardless of intent, materials or an actual, you know, nuclear weapons program.
The problem with this policy is... this.
Don't click that goddamn link! It takes you to an evildoer website called The Google where you'll find search results for the phrase "how to build an atomic bomb." When you click on those links, you'll learn about how to build a nuclear weapon from the knowledge supplied by such subversive organizations as UC Berkley, Cosmos Magazine and Amazon.com.
Hey Lorena! Finally broke down and got a Google password; I had to thank you for posting that link. I too liked the paragraph you pasted. He thinks he can squirrel out of it with that "knowledge" bit.
Busted!!
Been enjoying your blog. I loved your beach-shower article. Must be good to be back in your element! Hope to hear from you soon!
Hey, Bob -- glad to see you got on the gmail thing. Hope everything's going well in SoCali. Nice to hear from you!
