Three things I have learned in the past 36 hours

(1) I cannot pronounce the name Dubuque. It keeps coming out Dumbkook and I have no idea why. My apologies to all Dubuquens.

(2) There’s a warning on every antiperspirant container that people with kidney disease should consult a physician before using. That must get tiring.

(3) Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003. World War III has been delayed indefinitely.

Of these three items, the one that surprised me the most is No. 2. As for No. 3, I think we now know the cause of Cheney’s recent cluster of irregular heart rhythms.
