Watermelon and Viagra

The Dog Days of summer are upon us, and it's too hot to chase cars or my tail. Today I had to speak up. As you saw last week, the #2 ranked collegiate bass fishing team in this great land of ours was unable to compete in the Big 12 bass fishing championships because they didn't have enough money for fuel.

To add to my misery, in an article posted on the Star-Telegram site, Barry Shlachter tells us that someday watermelons may have Viagra like qualities. At least that's what a TAMU researcher is studying. The article is basically a plea for money. If you read the whole article, Bhimanagoda Patil is looking for federal funds to help this endeavor. I'm appalled Cash Machine U would stoop to that level. Plus, where was the plea for funds for bass fishing? What's more important? Having a nationally ranked fishing program, or doctored up watermelon you can feed to Bubba so he can be aroused for four hours?

Maybe you shouldn't answer that.
