A new FF trailer!

OK, I'm really looking forward to this film.

See the trailer at Ain't It Cool News.

I still have a few issues with Dr. Doom, but hey, the Thing is perfect.

California, uber alles...

Seen in alt.atheism:

Dear Mr. President,

Congratulations on your victory over all us non-evangelicals. Actually, we're a bit ticked off here in California, so we're leaving. California will now be its own country. And we're taking all the blue states with us. In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and all of the Northeast.

We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will be beneficial to almost everybody, and especially to us in the new country of California. In fact, God is so excited about it, she's going to shift the whole country at 4:30 pm EST this Friday. Therefore, please let everyone know they need to be back in their states by then.

So you get Texas and all the former slave states. We get the Governator, stem cell research and the best beaches,. We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay. (We will keep Martha Stewart, but having served her sentence she will now be a contributor to society rather than the unindicted contributors to your campaign) We get the
Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand, we get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole Miss. We get 85% of America's venture capital and
entrepreneurs. You get all the technological innovation in Alabama. We get about two-thirds of the tax revenue, and you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families, You get a bunch of single moms to support, and we know how much you like that. Did I mention we produce about 70% of the nation's veggies? But heck the only greens the Bible-thumpers eat are the pickles on their Big Macs.

Oh yeah, another thing, don't plan on serving California wine at your state dinners. From now on it's imported French wine for you. Ouch, bet that hurts.

Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice and anti-war. Speaking of war, we're going to want all blue state citizens back from Iraq. If you need people to fight, just ask your evangelicals. They have tons of kids they're willing to send to their deaths for absolutely no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their kids' caskets coming home.

Anyway, we wish you all the best in the next four years and we hope, really hope, you find those missing weapons of mass destruction. Seriously, Soon.

Sincerely,

California

Choking on my Coke

Watching CNN, and a story about a group starting to work on a Condi Rice run for President in 2008.

They have a video, with a catchy tune...

Into a Brave New World

Brave New World. Aldous Huxley, please call your service.

Friday Five!

1. Describe the last time you were frightened: A few weeks ago, when we got a "pay now or get evicted" notice.

2. What does your hair look like? Black, unkempt, needs to be mowed soon.

3. Have you ever dyed your hair a new color? Not intentionally. There was an incident involving a green smoke greande and a closed up M-113...

4. Do you like heights? I enjoy them.

5. Girl Scout cookies, candy bar sales -- what's the worst fund raising you've had to do? My one night job as a door-to-door solicitor for some to-the-left-of-me group. I knew it wasn't for me when we almost ran out of gas arguing over which gas station was politically correct.

Head, meet desk.

Headline News talking head reading a story about the bright flash from SGR 1806-20.

SGR 1806-20 is a neutron star.

The talking head read it as neuron star.

Head into desk, repeat as necessary.
