	<title>Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent &#187; Jokes &amp; Parodies</title>

	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the launch of Website 22, I have retired the Easter Egg (hidden, secret joke page) that has served through Websites 20 and 21. This egg was a number of photos (and two videos) of &#8216;Les the Turtle,&#8217; the U.S. Navy&#8217;s environmental program turtle. Yes, it&#8217;s as absurd as it sounds. Enjoy.

		<description><![CDATA[For Website 20, it was time to retire the egg that had served so well from Website 17 to Website 19. Intentionally badly-animated, the egg was inspired by pandas&#8217; notorious inability to breed successfully—which leads to my theory that God hates pandas. Enjoy.
