It seems rather unfortunate, as here we are repeating the past, which we are doomed to repeat for we have learned so little from human written recorded history.

Sometimes the cartoon world, at least as reflected in the colorful pictures and captions of mass media, gets so bonkers that a real-world headline would be right at home in a humor magazine. Take the ludicrous bauble that prompted this article. It appeared in no less a distinguished place than the front page of The New York Times on the Web: "Bathroom Dispute Halts Chess Championship."We could have gone with that. No doubt about it.But we prefer to see the everyday zaniness through our own eyes, so we did a bit of a redo.If case you missed the debacle, the world chess championship was halted when a player, Russia's Vladimir Kramnik, was locked out of his private bathroom because of inferences that he was going there too often and cheating while there. Expectedly enough, the bathrooms were part of the private areas of both players that were not under video surveillance. - Wonder Cake By : Chandra Subramanyam

A child ran into an ice-cream shop in The Middle East with tears streaming down his cheeks."What’s wrong," the shopkeeper asked."The ice cream I just bought from you is melting!" the child wailed, holding up the evidence.Sure enough, the delectable treat was dripping down the cone."I’m sorry," the merchant told him."I want a new one," the child demanded."I’ll be happy to give it to you, but I warn you; it will also melt."“But why?” the child asked. “Is it the heat?”The shopkeeper glanced at the thermometer that hung on the wall.

It seems that America's only optimist in regard to Iraq is beginning to feel unloved by the people he hoped to bring freedom and democracy to, much like a distressed lover who has proffered a box of chocolates, only to find that the object of his affections is allergic to chocolate. Or, worse yet, that she prefers the mix of chocolates offered to her by a detested rival.The trouble with withdrawal is, of course, up pops the super Shiite al-Sadr to tie the diplomatic knot with Iran. Then Bush will have to witness, not only lost love, but the object of his amorous hopes marrying his despised rival.But, after all, what else could be expected? The Shiites of Iraq do have a great deal more in common with the Shiites of Iran, such as their mutually adored medieval faith in a not altogether blameless religion. - Uncle Sam’s Shaky Transition To Empire; Having The Right Strategy Should Would Help By : Tom Attea

He checked into a hospice with the intention of accepting his end in comfort. But, as biochemistry still has its inscrutable ways, his final moment declined to arrive. Inexplicably, his kidneys began to work again and he was remanded to his home in Martha's Vineyard, where he was able to live out his last days. - Tony Blair: One Ally Without An Alibi; Naysays "Mad Anti-Americanism" Among European Diplomats By : Tom Attea

It's time for the USA to resolve, once and for, to bring down the curtain on international conduct so clumsy it can be seen, not as dexterous, but as the ballet Frankenstein.Time to remember that ninety-nine percent of our practically usable power comes out of the barrel of a cash machine, so we concentrate on being the economic superpower we know how to be, not the military superpower we aren't ruthless enough to be.Time to let the mad world go its self-punishing way, till, through economic success, we show the nations that are devoted to disagreement with us that we're conducting a world they ought to get in on.What can we do in the meantime? - Throwing Stones at Wax Houses By : John Hartnett

We have noticed along the highways and byways that, while we used to see an occasional trooper or local police officer waiting around the next curve with his radar alert for speed infractions, we now spot the cagy gentlemen nearly every time we drive for even a few miles. Alert to the high price of tickets and annoyed because we think being stopped, unless one is recklessly speeding, is an invasion of privacy, a new defensive principle popped into our watchful consciousness that we thought we’d share with you.Forget the days when you used to push the speed limit and think, "If I'm lucky, I won't get spotted by the cops." The new way to think is, "I better stay pretty close to the speed limit, maybe push it by three to five miles an hour at most, because the question isn't if the cops are there, tucked in somewhere around a bend. It's where are they?" - This Too Shall Pass By : Melanie Dougherty

- The Window Dressers By : B. MacNichol
When I was younger, and still going through that “hippy-hopping of jobs to see what I really wanted to do in life” stage, I had a brief stint as a display person in an older department store. This was one of those places that was built in the 1940’s, and probably reached it’s heyday in the late 50’s & early 60’s. The great, brick behemoth, was located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, and had a number of display windows facing the street on two full sides of the building. Hence, quite often we would find ourselves needing to come up with “full room window dressings”, showing off the current styles to passing car and foot traffic. - The Top 50 Ways to Survive College for the First-Time-Off-To-College Kid By : Johnnie W.

Now that we had invented land, everybody wondered, what could be missing? The day before, there was some talk about an idea called water. Today, we were scheduled to work on it.

Now, the stage was set. We had land, water, the sky, heat and light, and our first invention, a way for whatever creatures we would invent to reproduce and have a great time doing so. Now, we were ready to develop the actual creatures who would inhabit the invention. Today we were scheduled to start with the ones that would go in the water and air.“I want to congratulate everybody for your work so far. It’s because of your dedication and contributions that we can now invent the creatures who will inhabit the universe. I understand you brought some prototypes.”“Yes, I did. I thought some samples would be helpful.” - The Invention Of The Sky, Second Half of Part Four, The Invention of Everything By : Tom Attea

So far we’ve got –“He pointed to my notepad.“– sex, land, and water,” I recapped.“Good. So let’s take up the sky. Any thoughts?”“It can’t be too heavy.”“Why not?”“It’s going to be on top of everything else, isn’t it?”“Good point.”
