everything should be diluted

soapbox | Sunday, April 30th, 2006

they should take every sweet drink on the market and dilute it 50% with water. everything would taste so much better, and you’d get twice as much of it. i mostly drink just diet drinks (and lots of iced coffee), but even those are way too sweet.

and what’s with places getting rid of nutrasweet and replacing it with splenda?

i don’t know why i’m not just put in charge…

4.5 years after 9/11, they’re getting around to checking port worker names against terrorist watch lists. um, shouldn’t this have happened 4.4 yrs ago? the only reason this is even happening is because of the heat generated from the dubai ports fiasco…otherwise, who knows if it’d ever happen. wtf.

“Answering criticism about security gaps at U.S. seaports, the Bush administration said Tuesday it will conduct background checks on an estimated 400,000 port workers to ensure they do not pose a terrorist threat.”
