RED STATE SOCIALISM

I am really angry right now, and this only made me angrier.

I find it HIGHLY UNFAIR that New Jersey contributes more than it receives.

I am only angry because many people in those red states believe that many states on the left column are considered “Fake America”.  How can there be a “Fake America” and a “Real America” when there is clearly only ONE nation called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and that this very nation that I am in right now is rightly comprised of FIFTY STATES.  I am tired of these bigoted arguments that are just plain wrong.

This is bullshit.

THOUGHT OF THE HOUR

I want to scream in frustration.

WANT: LEGO HOODIE

More hoodies via a link on another site, but I really want to buy this one.

BLOG FLASH 4

They’re like flash bombs, people. (I’m lazy, I know.)

• 18 “modern” bed designs. Such an arbitrary number, don’t you think?  They don’t all seem so comfortable.
• Election Tic-Tac-Toe. Disclaimer: It’s not a game.
• Claymation Chess! Oh how I miss Gumby.  Sort of.
• Mr. Snowman in danger! Snowmanhunt?
• Rain Wipe! Oh the Japanese and their gadgetry/incessant need for cleanliness.  I approve, kinda.
• Moustache pencils. Want.
• Perhaps the only meaty link: the New Yorker talks to Chuck Hagel.
• Toothpaste – disgustingly intriguing.
• My dream desk?
• Is this Russian animal cruelty? Or are they just conducting a science experiment?  It seems communists can have fun after all.

SUNDAY POLITICAL ROUNDUP

• Palin is going rogue!
• Palin dog wigs.
• Anchorage newspaper endorses Obama.

Most importantly, FREE ICE CREAM AT BEN N JERRY’S ON ELECTION DAY!

“Come to participating scoop shops on November 4th from 5-8pm, show us you voted and you’ll get a free scoop of ice cream. Show us your “I Voted” sticker, a photo of you in front of your polling station, do the “I Voted dance” or just tell us you voted.”

CAR TROUBLES

What people will do to keep a Mercedes Benz.

Um, someone needs to tell the driver… that it’s time to let go.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Can be amazing.

TSA X-RAYS

Now I know that the new see-thru X-ray technology the TSA wants approved seemed rather invasive for the purposes of airport security, but only a visual from Der Spiegel made me realize how much this technology can show.  It’s defininitely nerve-wracking, even if a person doesn’t have anything to hide.

PIGLET SQUID

It’s amazing what you find in the ocean.  You can read about it at BoingBoing.

WASSUP ‘08

I didn’t realize that this would be a political message, but I do think the YouTube video is worth watching.

It’s a parody of the Wassup commercial by Anheiser Busch.

What a time we live in…
