News Good Morning, News

Posted by Scott Moore on Fri, Jun 29 at 8:37 AM

Everybody’s blogging for the weekend.

Can you believe that a top Republican candidate for president is actually urging President Bush to keep the American Gulag open? Oh, wait, Duncan Hunter? Who? Uhhhh, good luck with that campaign, dude.

Eeeeep. A car bomb was found in London’s theater district (seriously—the theater district?), which authorities could have caused “potentially massive” damage.

Hard to believe a product called “Veggie Booty” could possibly be tainted with salmonella.

Mitt Romney: Dog abuser? PETA thinks so.

Standing in line to buy an iPhone? Say hi to Amy J. Ruiz for me. And try not to trample her. Thanks.

Where you lining up at, Amy? Maybe I'll see you out there...

I'm not lining up :)

Oh. I get it. Reporting about the line. Sounds way less fun!

No, avoiding the line altogether.

Why is it always Amy "J." Ruiz? Is there some less fortunate, middle initial-less Amy Ruiz in the mail room or something who you're trying to avoid confusion with?

Maybe it should be Amy "Formerly J." Ruiz?

Boy, that probably doesn't clarify anything, huh.

Ha ha, right. Amy's not actually out in line. That was a little inside joke, because she's an unabashed gadget addict.

There is another Amy R. at the Merc. And after years of being the only "Amy Jenniges" that came up in google searches, it wouldn't do to compete with all the other Amy Ruizes out there (like the San Diego realtor who currently tops me). So Amy J. Ruiz it is. It's called a byline, yo.

It also lets those who've called me "Amy J" for ever and ever continue to do so.
