It’s Monday and it’s April Fool’s Eve.  I am currently planning what minor prank I shall play on my children.  I’m also steeling myself for whatever pranks might be planned for me…

Rest assured, Uncle Jay has a run-down of the political hi-jinx of the past week: Uncle Jay Explains the News - March 31, 2008

Let’s take a gander at the hi-jinx in today’s Ten Post Round-Up:

1: If this is the free-market conservatives preach about, I’d say they’d got it all wrong…

2: Could we be on the verge of another “Big Bang”? Apparently, some scientists want to try out a new gizmo that creates black holes. Somehow, I think Mother Nature might have a problem with that…

Uh…maybe sometimes “Because we can” isn’t enough of a reason to do something–Brilliant at Breakfast

3: Keep your opinions to yourself if you encounter other shoppers at Best Buy…

Best Buy calls copper on unsatisfied shopper–Channel Register

8: I knew it! I knew it! The Gays do have an agenda!…

Out On A Limb - The Gay Agenda–Pam’s House Blend

9: Very interesting article on “thanks” and “gratitude”. Should the oppressed be grateful to their oppressors and/or for their oppression?…

10: I have the sad, miserable feeling that GWB and his henchmen would rather see the world swallowed up into a black hole than admit defeat by withdrawing troops from Iraq…

I know, I know…all the April Fools are in the White House!

Peace.

(On an up-note, if we get sucked into a black hole, we’ll likely never know what hit us…)
