Excellent idea, Matt.
Once again I find myself exceedingly embarrassed for my country and the logical pretzels that a large portion of the populace is bending itself into.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

I think a lot of people are really really angry that other people with different ideas won an election in their country. I also want to provide a little benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but think there is some racism in there too.
After the speech turns out to be about staying and school and that sort of stuff, I'll be waiting for the back slaps about how the concerned citizens got him to back off giving the "real" speech.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think Clovis should hire this girl....
Girl says "I want to be a 'corrupt official' "
BEIJING - A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl has become a media darling in China on her first day of school by expressing her aspiration to become a 'corrupt official' when she grows up, state media said on Friday.
The young student stated her aspirations in a televised interview that was posted on a southern China website, leading bloggers to describe her comments as 'a reflection of social reality,' the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.
'When I grow up I want to be an official,' said the girl, whose face was blurred to protect her identity.
'What kind of official?' the interviewer asked.
'A corrupt official because corrupt officials have a lot of things,' she replied.
Awwww....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's stories like this that make me sad that TDS is on hiatus right now.
TDS needs to never go on hiatus, ever. Inevitably something happens when they're off that they really, really needed to parody.

Unfortunately, this is going to be translated by the powers that be as "I want my parents visited by the re-education police".

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am wearing a Threadless shirt at work. I think we've decided to make Fridays really casual. My co-workers say I look more natural and like myself in a T-shirt. So one week I'll wear T-shirts all week.
