Look What's Coming To Town

So now this behemoth is moving in at the end of my block. I'm sure it will be super quiet while it goes up, and will totally add to the ambience of the block.

I'm super excited.

Let's All Wash Ourselves in Whale Vomit

Apparently it is very valuable and alluring. And somehow illegal to sell.

And This Blog Thought ITS Apartment Was Small

77 square feet?

It WAS actually meant to be a closet. And at such a bargain price!

Ah, London. The most expensive place on the planet.

Seriously UN-Employable

Not kidding, I received the following cover letter today:

Hard Day at Work

And I mean Hard.

Let It Be Known

Wearing linen and wool at the same time is an ABOMINATION!!! Like having sex with someone of the same sex.

Daniel Karslake is debuting his film "For the Bible Tells Me So," a documentary focusing on how the bible has been misused to justify, over centuries, different forms of discrimination, and how it's being used today to condemn gay people.

Good work Daniel, if only we can get this on cable in the midwest.

Here's a great quote from a bible scholar in this article:

The problem, too, the film points out, is the masses blindly accept biblical interpretations offered by these popular personalities rather than read and study for themselves. As a result, historical context is ignored, as are broader and supplementary materials, said the Rev. Laurence Keene, a soon-to-retire sociology professor at Pepperdine University.

"I have a soft spot in my heart for literalists because I used to be one," he said in the film. "There's nothing wrong with a fifth-grade understanding of God [or the Bible], as long as you're in the fifth grade."

Take, for instance, the word "abomination," which is used over and over by fundamentalists to describe what the Bible says about same-sex relations. Keene reiterated in a phone call this week that the word "abomination" refers to actions that were deemed "ritually impure." Other abominations include eating pork or shrimp, wearing linen and wool at the same time, and commingling crops.

Pneumonia Is a Bitch

I have now had Pneumonia 3 times and Bronchitis 4 (and both once), and it does not get more fun each time!

Here I am, seven days later, and I just had my first almost-dinner, and havent touched a tissue in ten minutes!

CONGRATULATE ME.

Please Forgive This Blog

Because he would like to do this sometime.

No offense to my college buddies that were in these groups.

Gotcha

Two slimeballs caught on tape.

Guess he never remembers meeting Abramoff, but the camera does.

Also: the Wite House (executive branch) signed a secret agreement with the Secret Service (judiciary branch), stating that all visitors to the White House are confidential. That sounds like an illegal breach of the seperation of powers to me.

This agreement is being challenged in the case of visitors to Dick Cheney's office, I presume in Libby's case.

Get em!

Somehow, This Blog is Skeptical

I like fantasy sports, often too much.

I enjoy celebrities, for their sheer stupidity. They're American Royalty!

But somehow, I'm not sure I want to combine these two interests.

Happy New Year!
