Ooo, baby, baby, it's a wild world...

This is just too good to pass up...

"Tea for the Tillerman?" More like: "T" is for suspected "terrorist" connections. Put the emphasis on suspected. According to CNN.com:
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge accused Islam [Cat Stevens' Muslim name] of having some unspecified relationship with terrorist activity.

"Celebrity or unknown, our job is to act on information that others have given us," Ridge said.

"And in this instance, there was some relationship between the name and the terrorists' activity with this individual's name being on that no-fly list, and appropriate action was taken."

Hmm, thanks for clearing that up. Geez. If Homeland Security can't handle Cat Stevens, one wonders how they'd react to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan...

In other news, it's time for Best Day Ever! For me, that would have been yesterday. Specifically, the moment my face hit the ground when I tripped (spectacularly, I might add) over some random cinder block that just happened to be in the middle of the lane as I was jogging yesterday. If this had been the Simpsons, Nelson would have been there going "Haah, haah!"
