Great googily moogily.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I wish I had these words, in my vocabulary, when Jack's daughter ran towards the water tower, twice! Yikes!

Someone could get killed, running from a nice hiding place out into the open, to check on their cute yet wounded and guilty kidnapper. Who does she think she is Patty Hearst or something. Give me a break.

I usually suspend my disbelief at stupid things like this to continue enjoying mediocre shows, but please, don't have the characters do these crazy things. Don't become mediocre.

I'll watch again next week, but be careful, because I might just tape you and watch NYPD Blue live, if you're not careful.

I'll Never Forget the 11 cents!
The other day while checking out at our local Roche Bros. supermarket I came across a cashier who really understands what customer service is.

Our total order came to $42.11. I got out the $42 handed it to the cashier. Then I searched my pockets for some change. I didn't have any, and the smallest bill in my wallet was a $20. So I handed the cashier the $20.

She asked me if I had any change, and I told her that I didn't have any.

She then handed me back the $20 and said, "forget the 11 cents." It was great. It's not the savings of 11 cents that made me happy, it was the intelligence of the cashier to understand that it was better for everyone, to let me go without having to wait for her to break a $20.

Thanks Roche Bros.
Michael Moore's Book Tour Diary.
As I'm getting ready to leave, a hairdresser down the street has noticed the commotion at Bookends and has come inside. When she sees it's me, she insists that, as my #1 fan in Ridgewood, NJ, she must cut my hair. Man, this is just what I have not been able to do all week. My wife will be very pleased, so I head out with her and the Bookends owner down the street to the salon chair in which my scraggly mop will be made... well, less scraggly. It's one of the better haircuts I've had in a while, and considering C-Span is taping me Sunday night, I will now look my best for my favorite rockin' cable network.
Mike's Tour Across America stops at a church in Cambridge tonight.

This Stuff Is Unreal.
Diane Greco found these interesting Police Logs from Arcata, California.

The police logs come from the Arcata Eye, the newspaper of Arcata, California, which is affiliated with ArcataPlaza.com, the guide to Arcata, California.

Mitt Romney Does Not Suck Like Jane Swift Does.
(Swift)... does not have a true base of support,'' Domke said. ''Her support seems to be an inch wide and a mile deep. It is basically working mothers of twins in Western Massachusetts.
