Wonkette's Top Ten Stories Of The Week Are F-R-E-E That Spells Free
Deepest apologies if you can already tell where this is going.
Hello and happy weekend!
This week I am bringing you a recent discovery of mine. Remember the Free Credit Report Dot Com commercials from a million years ago? The one featuring a band with a curly haired lead man singing songs about how many bad things had happened to him because of his bad credit situation? Singing songs that got stuck in your head and gave you weird nightmares for years afterwards?
Well, as many of us know (though why we know it I couldn't tell you), that guy wasn't actually singing the songs in the commercial — according to the rumor at the time, he was a French Canadian who didn't even speak English. But apparently he does speak English, and he is in another band. A far less perky band, in which he does not sing about his bad credit score.

Wonkette's Top Ten Stories Of The Week Are F-R-E-E That Spells Free
So I had a thought this morning about the bullshit coming out of Missouri this week -- the current medical consensus is that anyone born intersex should be left that way so that they can decide whether they want to be a boy, girl, or something else rather than the doctor(s) or parent(s) making that decision shortly after birth. Won't the MTBR, or Missouri Trans Bullshit Ruling, in this one instance, actually do a good thing in that now doctors and parents won't be able to do a little slicey-slicey and decide what the kid should be rather than letting the kid be whomever they would have been pre-mutilation?
The Wakeup Duck
When I bicycled across the country many years ago, I stopped in the Clyde Holliday State Wayside (Highway 26, between John Day and Mitchell). At that part of the journey I was riding 100 miles per day and taking the next day off. The first morning I stayed there a mallard hen came through the campsite and stopped at every tent and quacked. Most people fed her something.Four years later, Ms. Disk and I did a car camping trip through central and Eastern Oregon after we were married. We stayed in the same campground, but not in the biker/hiker area. The next morning, this mallard hen could be heard, working her way through the campground, quacking for food. I'm not certain if it was the same duck, but it was definitely related.
