As I reported in an earlier post, I have been summoned for Jury Duty.

My boss wrote a letter to try and get me out of it. We faxed it in 3 days ago.

Today during lunch I received their response.

“Your request to be excused HAS BEEN DENIED and your service date has been rescheduled to the date noted above.”

The capital letters in “has been denied” is pulled straight from the letter, by the way.

Instead of getting it out of the way and starting on Sept. 24, now I have to start my two weeks on Nov. 26. That’s the Monday right after Thanksgiving weekend for those of you that aren’t calendar savvy.

So now I have to serve between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday.

Bloody Hell.

Captain AmericaAs if America didn’t already have it bad enough under the leadership of George W. Bush and the rest of his cohorts, the New York Daily News reports that Captain America was shot and killed today while exiting a courthouse.

Originally created in 1941 to battle comic book mega supervillain Adolf Hitler, Captain America stayed strong through the Cold War, Persian Gulf War and metrosexualism.

Perhaps comic book company Marvel didn’t think he fit into the present day war on terrorism, or perhaps it’s a literal commentary on the America of today violently dieing on cold cement steps.

But more importantly, who’s going to fight comic book Osama now?
