Pardon the Mess
We’re making some changes over here, hang tight.
Great Day to Fly
Thank god for the airport bar.
Huckabee vs. Himself
Mike Huckabee stops by the Daily Show to let us know that being gay is a choice. And that he’s kind of a prick.
Stewart: Segregation used to be the law until the courts intervened.
Huckabee: There’s a big difference between a person being black and a person practicing a lifestyle and engaging in a marital relationship.
Stewart: Okay, actually this is helpful because it gets to the crux of it. … And I’ll tell you this: Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice. Gay people don’t choose to be gay. At what age did you choose to not be gay?
Winter
Ice seems to be falling from the sky this evening, and not in the good way of cooling down my adult beverage, but in the alarming way of making our already brain-dead-driving public at large even more hazardous than usual.
lego
It wouldn’t be christmas time without a little lego awesomeness.
MOSE
An explanation of the flood control system that will eventually protect Venice from floods like what happened this week. I’ve been there during a flood, and it’s pretty entertaining – everyone packs hip-waders in their Prada bags and carries on like normal.
State Department
Apparently, come January 20, a lot of folks at the state department will be out of work. Maybe GM will be hiring by then.
Manly Turkey
Of the 22 pounds of turkey consumed this year at my parents house, 12 of them were deep-fried-awesomeness. Nothing says the holidays like a bunch of guys watching meat cook in a pot of boiling oil.
Austin-Elgin Rail
Behold a new, $200 million proposed Green Line to compliment the about-to-open Red Line. Also, a side note – in a somewhat heated discussion about this, Mr. Brian J. Pinero was in fact correct, (and had the links to back it up, thus proving me wrong) – suggesting that this line makes less sense than the as-yet-hypothetical downtown circulator.
I say build them both, it’ll stimulate the economy and get some cars off of I-35.
