When you ask someone how many kids they have, or cats, or whatever, they will say two, or three, or none, or four, maybe even nine. But they won't say "oh nine."
Why then do so many people write 2009 as "09?" Next month will be a cool day: 9.9.9 or 9-9-9. I like to use periods in between, looks much more aesthetically pleasing. If you add a zero out of some kind of fearful compulsion to conform to an unspoken, unattributed convention, surely invented by some insidious puppet master of the masses, you will destroy the beautiful numeric poetry of that day's date.
9.9.9 is fine. No one will be confused but the utterly, hopelessly conformist variety of mass men and women.
I once had a Macomb County social worker with Master's degree add a zero to a date I had written a few years ago. That is state action infringing on my freedom of speech. I could have sued her.
If you do some Googling, you will see not everyone is anal about that superfluous zero. It is okay, really. If you have an ounce of free will in your body, try it, you might like it. Save some ink, too.
This is the last year in most of our lifetimes that we can do this and 9.9.9 is the last really cool date, but for 11.10.9, I suppose.
So if you dare, join me in a little rebellion! It feels good and the number nine will love you for it on 9.9.9!

obama's kiddie address (this is a joke, or is it? *s*)
my fellow little americans,
a few weeks ago, over my blackberry (holds it up and waves it around a bit), my de facto education czar, my old hippie friend, bill ayers, told me he got a great idea the other day as he was smoking a marijuana pipe at grant park, he emailed me on his blackberry: "Barack, old buddy, Bernandine misses the good ole massah-mandingo 3-ways! How are ya, you old coot! Hey, why don't you give an address to the children over teevy the start of every school year, ostensibly innocuous, of course......"
i thought to myself: WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!!! and began to write this address to you.
as vladimir lenin once said, "kill the czar and his ministers, because it is time for a change," america voted for change when they voted for me, and you are my instruments of change. congress, as you know, is full of asshole republicans, blue dog democrats from planet pluto or neptune, and then the ugliest bitch west of the rockies and east of chicago, nancy pelosi.
i tell you, she is scary! (children laugh in unison, ready to throw nail bombs for the cause).
oh, for the sound bites to the press....stay in school, study hard, if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again!
oh, and i almost forgot, if your parents or anyone else you know is against a public option, call 911 or email the whitehouse, if you know how to do that....your local police departments have been instructed to turn over such names and emails to me immediately. you are now called obamaers and obamaettes, your job is to help me beat the asshole republicans and other enemies of change. together, we are invincible!
allah akbar!

Get a grip!
Regarding the apostate girl in the USA with the non-citizen father who wants to kill her at the urging of his cleric, both the father and the cleric need to be deported and/or charged. America must not allow freedom to be rendered into a joke. Those who choose freedom for all are welcome in the USA. If you are not into that, you are not welcome and goodbye.
