We are 0-3 and this Raider fan has had enough. Here is my postcard to Al Davis, owner of the Raiders.

At least I’m not a 49ers fan…

It’s 12:31 and I just ate one of ConAgra Foods fine beef snacks - the dependable Slim Jim. While enjoying the delicious chopped and formed beef snack, I read the ingredients. My Slim Jim had some Sodium Nitrate in it. Doing a simple google search I found the following about Sodium Nitrate:

DANGER! STRONG OXIDIZER. CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.

I also found that Sodum Nitrate is referred to as soda niter and chile saltpeter. If I had to have a nickname I wouldn’t want it to include the word peter. I bet Sodium Nitrate was pissed.

I prefer my beef snacks to be saltpeterless.

In leiu of last months hurricane Katrina disaster, President Bush contacted French President Jacques Chirac earlier today requesting a refund for the 1803 purchase of Louisiana. Chirac, known as a stern negotiator, advised that without a receipt France could only offer gift certificates of unspecified amounts for Michelin tires.

In related news, Spains National Assembley formed a special committee last week to review the Treaty of San Ildefonso in preparation for any possible French shifting of liability for the disaster.
