Distractivism
Holy shit, blimps!
Is there any single brand in the world more fucked by one incident than blimps are by the Hindenberg crash? Planes survive hijackings and explosions, cruise ships survived the Titanic, but this morning I read this bit in the Times about how blimps (”airships”) are making a comeback because of rising fuel costs and concerns [...]
This hippo lives in this house.
Amazing.
Political prisoner is rescued, has hot son.
My dear friend Margot has written a beautiful radio play in progress about Ingrid Betancourt, the Colombian politician who was kidnapped in 2002. Accordingly, I’ve followed the case and yesterday the unthinkable happened: Betancourt was rescued, alive. This is incredible news and very unexpected: These situations usually don’t end well but Betancourt is alive and [...]
Is there really a list?
Noticed this little item this morning:
Bush To Lift Sanctions Against North Korea
The move signals that North Korea has completed a key step in their denuclearization process. Bush might also remove the country from the infamous “Axis Of Evil” List in as little as 45 days.

Daily Kos: Obama Has Birthday, Parents
Read all about it here.

He was born is some crazy Muslim country named “Oahu”. (WTF???)
It turns out His middle name really isn’t Percival which totally blows a hole in my “Little Obama in the Welsh forests” joke. (just google it…)
STOP THE FREAKIN’ PRESSES!!!
CNN is reporting that Scarlett Johansson has been personally emailing with Barack Obama about, among other things, the media’s obsession with trivial gossip.
Just take a minute to let that all sink in…
okay so I’m totally lazy but watch this.
I realize all i’ve done this week is post videos (and not even particularly relevant ones at that!) and haven’t really actually written anything. But this video below — The Democratic Primary in just 8 Minutes – is really good and hits the Pinko goal of helping make politics accessible, or whatever. Watch and learn!

I had sex with Ron Paul and Alan Keyes.
Enough with the cranes already!
If you’ve looked at the New York City skyline recently, then you know that, as a city, we are crapping out (up?) more abominable Gerhy-esque condos then there are Saudi princes to buy them to use as gold bar storage. The fervor to fulfill the seemingly endless demand for these buildings has led to some [...]
