I loved Lilo and Stitch, and I am deeply amused by this guy's play on its tag line (which I have underlined.)

:)

quote begins here:
----------------------
Oh God, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't praise "The Last Unicorn". I despise that movie with every fiber of my being.

Much of this is due to the fact that my then-two-year-old daughter loved it so much she played it over...and over...and over...and over...and over...

I swear to God my wife flinches every time I imitate Rene Auberjonois screaming "U-NI-CORN!"

And for the record, I thought "Lilo and Stitch" was incredible fun...and was stunned that "Wholesome Is Our Middle Name" Disney ever let it out. Not a single unflawed character in the bunch, and it was such a hoot, especially the last twenty minutes.

And then there was my wife's expression when, as we were leaving the theatre, I said in my best Stitch voice: "Ohana...means family. Family means...we eat the weak."

Y'know, it's a wonder she hasn't killed me in nineteen years of marriage.

Pat Tillman

This is a link to a cartoon by Ted Rall about the late Pat Tillman. http://www.ucomics.com/rallcom/2004/05/03/

Mr. Rall has apparently received a lot of criticism about it and MSN has decided that this might make them look unprofitably bad, so they have pulled it from their website (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ep/20040504/en_bpiep/rallstillmancartoonpulledbymsnbccom).

I agree with Mr. Rall's overall criticism of the war on terror (or at least, Mr. Bush's handling of it). However, the obituary I read of Mr. Tillman, which interviewed friends and colleagues, made him sound like a very private person. I am uncomfortable with impugning Mr. Tillman's motives for enlisting in the army. I agree that, as a means of service to his country, it wasn't the best choice he could have made, but I don't think that he should be mocked because of it. He has paid for his misplaced loyalty to a corrupt presidency with his life.
