There are too many stereotypes to even know where to begin….

“Travis” has a say in my future. Democracy is not always a good thing.

From the AP:
Investigators are trying to determine whether the intruder was operating alone, Girard told reporters, who suggested the heist was carried out by a very “sophisticated” team or individual. He said three guards were on duty overnight, but “they saw nothing.”
The intruder entered by cutting a padlock on a gate and breaking a museum window, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

From the LA Times:
Costa Mesa has sought for several years to reduce the number of illegal immigrants within its borders by regulating day laborers, asking police to check the immigration status of people they stop and limiting the number of soccer fields in parks.

I hate Yahoo! News. I hate their headlines that are usually written with very confusing grammar. I hate that when 30 people die overseas the top story is usually about two celebs who accidentally wore the same dress to some sort of party.
But today the top 2 stories made me laugh. When I saw John McCain’s face I couldn’t tell if I was still reading the story about a fat pudgy animal or a senator from Arizona.
Which inspired some quick photoshop com positing.
Once a month may or may not be my new posting frequency.

Avatar: Didn’t see it.
The Blind Side: Never really even heard of it.
District 9: Didn’t see it, kinda want to.
An Education: Didn’t see it, want to.
The Hurt Locker: Didn’t see it, don’t really care to.
Inglourious Basterds: Didn’t see it, want to.
Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire: Didn’t see it. It looks OK, but the “Based on the Novel…” part of the title drives me nuts.
A Serious Man: Didn’t see it, totally want to.

Up in the Air: Didn’t see it, don’t care.

I’ve been thinking that same thing for a while: that it makes us look like pussies to be afraid to have the terrorist trials in our cities. And, wow, John Stewart is great, great, great in this interview. And Newt Gingrich is either a liar and/or uninformed.
But, please clarify the “something with animals” quip.
I hate gum. I hate it. I hate smelling other peoples discarded gum. So. Hotel lobby bar of the Sheraton in Austin. They have Wasabi peas in a weird little glass jar thing shaped somewhat like a dradle. I poured a handful into my hand which then were promptly transferred to my mouth. Why is there something soft? Why is it cinnamon flavored? I had someone’s fucking discarded gum in my mouth. Gross. Gross. Gross. We complained, obviously. I got a free Maker’s on the rocks out of it, but still, I’m fucking scarred. I hate gum. And, I hate that human nature makes people discard gum into communal edibles. I will never eat communal food again. Mark that.
Almost happy new year, everybody. I wish for everyone to feel the way Sly Stone feels at 2:05 in this video. (Sidenote: How awesome is the grey haired white dude in the audience?)
Old long sign.
