Week in Review: Casual Friday Edition

The combination of skank-nasty heat and Friday giddiness has apparently caused our Pie-Eyed Contributors to relax both language and grammar standards. After two days of conversation covering foreign policy issues with North Korea and environmental policy, we've devolved considerably. Sure, we can't be serious all the time, but can't we be decent? A review:

• GinCo (biloba) gave us a recap of the World Cup final...from the Wyoming perspective.
• Ilya outted himself as an anti-Amerrrrcan, writing himself a one-way ticket to Guantanamo
• Mandingo began a worthy experiment, turning the blog inside-out and further alienating us from our massive "readership"
• Anti-Everything introduced us to the North Korea problem, Pied shouted him down over a technicality in the Japanese Constitution (see also Mandingo's optipessimism and X's MADness)
• 'Dingo plugged open defiance of city ordinances
• P.Piper threw out the "green" question, which was responded to with calls for a gas tax, and an escalation to war over Xtra's ideology
• Anti-Everything expressed some displeasure with Congress. Not sure what that was all about...

Looking ahead: If you've got nothing better to do this weekend than melt into a cesspool, feel free to join me at the Hopkins Raspberry Festival! I'll be sweating off so many pounds, I fully expect to be thinner than a wisp of Mandingo's Mustache come Sunday.
