That was the headline of a CNN story.

I don’t agree with Donald Rumsfeld a majority of the time. But, I would REALLY be worried if he didn’t believe he was right.

Uh, if he didn’t think he was right, why would he do the things he does and then back them up with constant rhetoric about it?

Sometimes reporting and the media are just stupid.

I hate rabbits - I think they’re rodents. My daughter’s grandmother knows this. When I went to pick up my little one, yesterday, Grandma asked her to “tell daddy where the bunny rabbit is.”

Bri said, “at church!”

Apparently, Grandma had told her that the bunny was “with Jesus,” then Bri, 2, extrapolated that the bunny was at church. Too cute!

Today’s ugly wallpaper: I don’t even know what to call it. Hit ’shift’ and click ‘refresh’ if you can’t see it.

I saw the following commercial on TV tonight. Let’s point out the lies, shall we?

1. They say that Green “illegally” transferred money. Making a law retroactive, that is - he transferred the money when it WAS legal, and Jim Doyle’s cronies made it illegal exactly one day later - doesn’t constitute “illegality.” In fact, when this is all said and done, it may turn out that some members of the Wisconsin Elections Board were the ones who acted in an illegal/unethical fashion.

2. Jim says he “fought [his] whole career to clean up corruption.” Unless “cleaning up corruption” means that he was trying to streamline it to make it more efficient for him to receive illegal donations, he’s lying.

3. Also, Green didn’t “[take] $467,844 in illegal special-interest donations.” That money was donated to him fair and square, just the way that the rest of the congressmen, congresswomen, and ex-candidates receive their campaign donations.

Furthermore, if the $467,844 was “illegal,” and the state finds it okay to make a law retroactive, I want Mayor Tom Barrett’s ass thrown out of office immediately. He did the exact same thing. (Of course, it’s legal if you’re a democrat.)

Here are the standings in the FuzzMartin.com Fantasy Football League. It is sad to say, I am getting my ASS KICKED! How embarrassing!

Three years ago today… Congrats!

Today, cnn reports:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have chosen the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul over Cleveland and other cities for the 2008 presidential convention, GOP officials said Wednesday.

The selection was expected to be announced later today, said the Republican sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The choice of the Twin Cities would provide a major political punch for the GOP, capturing the media markets in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota — all battleground states in the 2004 election.

Others losing out were New York City and a joint bid from Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, cities that had sought the GOP convention.

The four-day event will be held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, home of the hockey team.

The Twin Cities also are in the running for the Democratic national convention.

Hooray! That means even worse traffic for me to get to work. As a Wisconsin-ite who commutes to the far west side of Saint Paul (driving RIGHT BY the Xcel) I will be faced with even worse traffic stuffed up by people who don’t know where they are going in “the big city”.

What I am (not) really looking forward to is all of the great bumper stickers that will come with most of this new traffic. “Marriage = Man + Woman”, “Got Jesus?”, Bush / Cheney ‘04, etc, “Blah blah Union” for Bush, I’m a gun owner and I vote.

Just to show you I am fair and hate everyone, I am sick of all of the Wellstone stickers that the crazy lefties still have on their cars, as well.

A Hostess Pudding Pie.
That sounds AWESOME right about now.

Too bad they don’t make them anymore.

What’s up with that? There are so many great foods (mostly candy) that isn’t made anymore.

How about S’mores cereal? Where is that, now?

The Green team is sticking with the Extreme Theme.

(update: this spot is from All Children Matter, not the actual “Green Team.” Though, one could argue that anybody pulling for Mark Green is on Green’s team! Thanks Jenna!)

That’s right, only 7 more days until we get back to the island. In celebration for the begining of the 3rd season of Lost, my wife has banished me to the basement for the entire season of Lost viewing.

I can’t wait to see where we pick up…and if you have been playing along with the Lost Experience or listening to podcasts (jay and jack, et al.) you know there is plenty of crazy isht coming up. My one hope is that more questons get answered along the way.

Expect plenty of Lost related posts this season!

Yesterday’s horrendous wallpaper:

I used to always go to Road America with my dad. I miss those days. Then I see this video of Katherine Legge of the Champ Car Series shredding her car to pieces… without injury!

Though I am a staunch conservative, I still like change now and then. For the rest of this week, I will be featuring a new, horrendous wallpaper on FuzzMartin.com.

In order to see the new wallpaper, you may have to reset your browser’s cache. A simple way to do so (for this page only) is to hold down your shift key, and then left click on your browser’s refresh button.

The cool part about this wallpaper is, it’s easy for me to remove.

Today… paisley! Yummy!

So… I had planned on doing a photo montage of things that I see on a typical Monday… but, I didn’t bring the batteries for my camera. Whoops! So… here’s a photo of my daughter, my chin, and I on our way to someplace exciting. (of course, it could have been the grocery store… who knows)

While doing some research for articles for work, I googled e. coli.

Okay, I have a few things to get off my chest this week.  As usual, feel free to leave your gripes on the message board. 

- First of all, I have to start with the sentencing of Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams.  These are the two men who broke the BALCO story and wrote the book “Game of Shadows”.  They could receive up to 18 months in prison for contempt of court for refusing to testify and reveal their sources.  The explanation from the court is that “Nobody is above the Law”.  

These are two men who did the public a service by breaking this story and brining it to the nation’s attention.  They are not the law breakers everyone is looking for, the steroid users and dealers are the real enemy.  They were able to do what an $18 million government investigation has been unable to do.  They found the guilty parties.  Now while they toil in prison the real criminals will continue distributing, using and selling illegal drugs.  Oh, and playing major league baseball. 

This country was founded on the 1st Amendment and from its infancy investigative reporting has helped to shape, inform and protect its citizens.  Thirty states have laws protecting journalists from revealing their sources.  Without reporters like this we wouldn’t know about things like Watergate.  Did they break the law?  Yes.  Do they deserve to go to prison? No.  I realize this may be a controversial opinion, and would love to hear your thoughts. 

#2 Michelle Wie keeps playing in men’s PGA Tournament events.  I hate to say it but I think you need to prove yourself before taking on the men in a PGA Tournament event.  Wie has yet to win on the Women’s Tour, what qualifies her to play on the Men’s?  She is 16 and competing with the top 2% of golfers in the world.  Tiger Woods didn’t win until he was 21 on the men’s tour.  Go back to and play in the LPGA and in 5 years if you are good enough, come back and try again. 

#3 Forbes Magazine released its list of the 400 Richest American’s today.  I am just pissed I am not on it, again. 

#4 Sunday NFL games not in Hi-definition.  How is it that any NFL game can be broadcast without Hi-definition?  I don’t understand this concept.  If public television can produce all their shows in Hi-def, why can’t the NFL mandate that all its affiliates do the same?  It just seems like a waste to me. 

Thanks, please leave your comments.  -OOS
