what a bird wants

2003-05-29 - 9:24 a.m.

Last night I watched Dogma by Kevin Smith. It seems like the kind of goofy film that Cookie would enjoy, so I started feeling bad that I waited to start watching it at 9:30, after he was already asleep. Maybe I will put it on again and let him watch some of it today.

Cookie's favorite film of all time is Clerks, also by Kevin Smith. I would not have expected a bird to care about a black and white film, but every time the stoner came on screen, he would wolf whistle his head off. We never did figure out the wild attraction. Sometimes it's obvious, as when Cookie went wolf whistle crazy at the beginning of an Enterprise episode where the captain is trying to take a shower and the gravity goes off. He does like his TV nude scenes.

Cookie is no sexist, though, and he will also happily wolf whistle any scantly clad female who catches his eye. Although a previous owner's daughter darkly warned me that, "He doesn't like skinny blondes," he likes me just fine and is not above a little wolf whistling and cat-calling when I exercise in tight spandex.

I made a picture jasper and 14 karat gold-filled collar today:

Cookie watched both Dogma and Miss Congeniality today, so he laughed his little parrot behind off. No wolf whistling though. I guess he just wasn't in the mood.

In the news: Rumsfeld admits that there are no weapons of mass destruction, CBS news reveals that the bunker supposedly containing Saddam that we dropped all those bunker-busting bombs on never existed, and Jessica Lynch's family have confided that while Jessica does not really have amnesia, they are not allowed to talk about what really happened during her alleged rescue.

There should be Nuremberg-like trials for the various war crimes, and the assets of criminals like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the other conspirators should forfeit their assets to the people of Iraq. Since it is obvious now that we went to war to create profit for Halliburton and Bechtel, those companies should be nationalized and their assets distributed either to the people of Iraq or the families of affected American veterans or both.

It wouldn't be going too far to pass a constitutional amendment forbidding anyone who has served as CEO of a large corporation from serving as president, vice-president, or senator.

I'm not holding my breath.
