if you don't like to eat Indian ...

... well, maybe this might change your mind.

storms are brewing

while she's at it, shouldn't she take the porn industry to task as well? or at least get some money out of it?

wow, some people just watched the Blair Witch Project recently.

Vista lovers, rejoice!

you have just been stabbed in the back.

Sigh...

Im tired of shaking a fist at Al Gore and his Nobel Prize, but I just can't help it. The fucking Nobel Prize!!

Earlier this year, predictions were rife that the North Pole could melt entirely in 2008. Instead, the Arctic ice saw a substantial recovery. Bill Chapman, a researcher with the UIUC's Arctic Center, tells DailyTech this was due in part to colder temperatures in the region. Chapman says wind patterns have also been weaker this year. Strong winds can slow ice formation as well as forcing ice into warmer waters where it will melt.

What happens now to all those poor polar bears stranded in rapidly shrinking ice floes so vividly portrayed in news stories of the imminent end of Planet Earth?

(For the record, I do think we -- that especially means you, Yanks -- are using up resources frivolously and haphazardly, but if it's causing anything, it's causing poverty and terrorism, not global warming.)

You know the drill...

When Black Friday comes
La la laaaa la laaa

And to illustrate the absurdity of the bailouts of the banks and car companies

I give you the irrepressible Larry Flynt:

“The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three,” said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. “The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.”

hmmm ... duh.

why do science types lack common sense? ah, because they need to learn the cold, hard facts supported by evidence. sheeesh.

Work it!

When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Get ill on the floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road

In which Grifter gives up his romantic ideas about living in the Big Apple...

... and starts scouting for houses in the 'burbs before the City eats his brains.

Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are chastening. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting -- that's why Picasso left Paris -- this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.

But then again, it may be too late.

Sing it with me!

When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road

moral lesson: just buy the tickets for yourself!

It's not like rain on your wedding day.

Think of a state that could use a little refresher course on ethics in government. There's a good chance a certain state whose governor allegedly tried to sell a U.S. Senate seat comes to mind.

And as it turns out, Illinois is set to hold just such an ethics course for state workers this Wednesday.
