Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Catching Up

The people at Free Republic are now speculating on whether Obama's foreskin might provide a clue was to whether he was actually born in the US. [link]

Aaaaand it took them just shy of seven months to mention the black guy's cock. Nice work. ::golf claps::

Is it possible to parody Camille Paglia? Or to be more glittery and brittle? Hell I don't even know if Camille Paglia can be considered not low rent. She cites classical literature and popular culture, but since she never gets any of it right I don't see how that counts as high rent. Maybe since she is mostly on the side of rich...

I haven't read a word since she said she had real concerns about Obama's Birth Certificate. Yeah. No.

I assume she's made no mention of his johnson.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Why People Shouldn't Ride Bears

Well. WELL. In my head, I'm taking all SORTS of exception to that assertion.

Different sort of bear.

Speaking of the fur-covered sort, it turns out my kids are on the Colbert tip when it comes to bears. We were in the redwoods last week and my son was worried the whole time that we'd run into one.

I'd like that. Well, obviously not in, like, biting range.

“Not dead yet!”

I may have gotten a wee bit carried away with the spaghetti pie. It weighs maybe six eight ten pounds or so.

I'm not sure how much of that is cheese. Or meat.

Hm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hate eating out!

Bad Angeleno! Bad!

Remind me not to panic tomorrow when I walk outside and my car is not in front of the house. They're replacing the water main this week, so I have to park around the corner (my garage isn't usable yet.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

But that's like an old English tradition.

So was scurvy, once upon a time.

Also sodomy, rum and the lash.

I usually don't see the appeal of starch on starch foods, which seem to be an English tradition. There's baked beans on toast, mushy peas on bread and baked beans on baked potatoes.

I also shudder at sandwiches made of canned pineapple or bananas on Wonder Bread slathered with mayonnaise, which are common in some parts of the South. Then there are mayonnaise sandwiches. Mayonnaise on bread is not a sandwich, it's a step on the way to a sandwich.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And I'm not sure that cheap = fair value.

There is that. The Global Economy then exploits local market inefficiencies by paying less than fair value for labor.

$9,000 a year isn't going to make it. At least not an industrialized country. It's fine in Senegal.

I wonder what the number would have to be before people said, "Hey, this system doesn't make any sense."

But, of course, since value is defined by market forces you can't really say "it costs this much to make that thing" - because the cost is affected by supply/demand pressures.

I'm not sure if even superlow production costs mean anything since there's no impetus to over supply something and kill the market.

I guess it's the Star Trek economy. If somebody built a cheap replicator would it destroy capitalism?
