Google Earth Dark Spots

For my fellow Google-Earth Addicts, I offer the coordinates of the Prince Sultan Air Base. If you don't use Google-Earth I can't imagine how boring your mental image of the world must be. Isn't it interesting how they've greyed-out part of this air base? But you can still inspect all the inroads, and support structures. So fascinating. I'm reading Ricks' book, Fiasco, in which he describes all sorts of events at this base, so as I read I follow along on Google Earth - so I can spy on all the locations he references. I could spend 14 hours a day on Google Earth - there is nothing about the web I enjoy more.

It's Raining Mein

"SHANGHAI, China -- The lopsided male-female ratio in China caused by sex-selection abortions is worsening, pushed up to 120 men for every 100 women, a government newspaper says. Cited unnamed experts blamed it in part on pro-abortion attitudes that value boys over girls. 'This kind of imbalance also surely has something to do with the family planning policy' of one child per couple the newspaper said ... The resulting shortage of women has meant that tens of millions of men remain unmarried and childless. On average in the rest of the world, 106 baby boys are born for every 100 girls, but more boys die in childhood and the numbers tend to even out by adulthood." I want to know if this has had any effect on homosexual frequency/ behavior. Wouldn't that be interesting? Does anyone know anything about this?

I Love My Senator

This logo needs another name. Perhaps Obama/Clinton? Or would it be Clinton/Obama? Barack, I'm available to work on your campaign.

Top Chef Two

Fresh meat hit Bravo tonight. The Contestants: Ilan Hall, Marcel Vigneron, Betty Fraser, Elia Aboumrad, Cliff Crooks, Michael Midgley, Carlos Fernandez, Mia Gaines-Alt, Emily Sprissler, Sam Talbot, Marisa Churchill, Otto Borsich, Suyai Steinhauer, Frank Terzoli, and Josie Smith-Malave. It was so nice to see our favorite chef, Harold Dieterle back as a guest judge. Suyai is gone. Marcel has been voted this season's villain.

Jay Paul Deratany, Superlawyer

I'm pleased to report that Jay Deratany of Deratany & Carden has taken my case. Jay is one of the best injury lawyers in Chicago (he won the largest verdict in Lake County history, $23.3 million). I'm still clad in a Boston Brace, and suffering all kinds of bizarre electric pain and crippling tightness, ugh. Who knows how long the road to recovery will be - thank god the guy who almost killed me was insured. What a nightmare this whole thing is. What's the worst injury you've ever sustained?

I'm Not High, It's The U.S. Treasury

Has anyone seen the new peach- colored ten dollar bills? They are really strange looking, but I love that we are coloring our money - and the changes are rolling out slowly - almost gaslightingly. I wonder when the necessary size differences will start creeping in - blind people are really fucked by our single-sized currency. I've pondered this bill all day today, but not only because of the col0r, but because it represents twice my net worth.

Elephantine Wipeout

Update your resumes and clean out your desks - your greasy, specious congress- ional reign is coming to an abrupt and humiliating end. Five weeks till the election - at which point America is going to disinfect the filthiest and most dangerous hill in America. Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude. Millions of dollars in gold, cash, and weapons continue to flow into Afghanistan from Pakistan. Bin Laden is alive and well and flourishing as the Taliban strengthens itself and tightens its grip on Afghanistan - the place Superpowers go to be humiliated. Eight more American soldiers killed in Iraq today, and more than 50 Iraqis, as Islamic hatred of the U.S. occupation intensifies around the globe and countless millions of teenage men sware on the graves of their fathers to destroy us. We will leave Afghanistan in humiliation. We will leave Iraq in humiliation. The bad guys got away. Shame on the Republicunts - their experiment has engineered and overseen the rape, torture, pillage and slaughter of countless tens of thousands of innocent people in the name of those who died on 9/11. Shame and humiliation will be their legacy.

Perfectly Cast Anti-Hero

Whomever manages Michael C. Hall's career is a genius. He's always been the creepiest looking guy - I used to wonder what kind of career he could have after Six Feet. I wondered how anyone would be able to cast someone so disturbed looking - wicked eyes, gremlin teeth, etc. This Dexter character is such a perfect fit. A serial killer of serial killers - he can look totally creepy and still be a heroic protagonist. Wow, kudos to someone for the brilliant casting or show development. I wonder who else will survive Six Feet?

2 More Morons Go Toe 2 Toe

I'm having flashbacks from that infuriating debate between Sanitorium and the other Pennsylvania dipshit. Today's "debate" on Russert was almost as assinine as that. A creepy sleazoid asshole slimesack vs. a quivering incoherent illogical douchebag. WTF? Where did Ohio find these two losers? This is a Senate race? As in "The United States Senate"? This was like watching two high school janitors arguing over the finer points of metaphor in Swan's Way (or perhaps that's an insult to the average janitor). I wouldn't even eat dinner with these fucktards. I feel so gross after watching this that I need to take a shower. On a more positive note: nature rarely produces a day as subtley spectacular as today in Chicago. Words don't do this glorious day justice. Gaea You Are Holy.
