It's Sunday. Go to Church.

Lots to do today, but here's a few notes of interest to those battling the elderly menace.

This person stole my idea.
"What if, rather than pester high school students (and their parents) about enlisting, military recruiters focused their efforts on nursing home residents? Sure, many with advanced Alzheimer's or hooked up to Foley catheters might be unenthusiastic about military service, but I guarantee you that some World War II vets who haven't really felt significant since 1945 would be happy to make use of their still-valid driver's licenses in the service of their country. "

My idea goes even further, requiring military service from professional athletes, too. But this is a start.

How unfunny is BC? Even old people are offended by it:
"I found the Feb. 4 comic strip "B.C.," by Johnny Hart, offensive and insulting to senior citizens. ... His strip often contains veiled political and religious innuendoes, but this one is so blatant I felt compelled to object. If this is the bent he chooses for his comic strip, perhaps it is time to relegate "B.C." to the Classified section, along with "Doonesbury" and "Boondocks."
