The All Time Lows

The coolest thing I have ever seen in my life? At least today it is. Elizabeth Hickok's Jello versions of San Francisco:

Now that Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination, I'd like to offer President Bush (because I know he reads this blog on a regular basis) a few possible nominee suggestions for SCOTUS.














1. Nancy Grace
I know what you're thinking... Is it really possible for a woman as beautiful as Nancy Grace to become a Supreme Court Justice? Will her sunny disposition be met with disdain by the other grumpy faces on the bench? These are things we will just have to accept. The time is now for Nancy's no-nonsense, guilty until proven innocent (and still guilty after that) approach to justice. No more of these bleeding-heart blame the victim justices like Scalia!



2. Doug Eddings
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that our Supreme Court Justices are too stuck in their ways, too busy sticking to "the letter of the law" and following "procedures." What we need is an outside-the-box thinker like Major League Baseball umpire Doug Eddings. Eddings, whose innovative call on what should have been the last out of the inning in Game 2 of the ALCS led to a White Sox victory and ensured a White Sox World Series Championship, brought more joy to the city of Chicago than most people experience in their whole lives. And isn't that what this country is all about: the pursuit of happiness? Who says a dropped-third-strike actually has to be dropped? Not Doug Eddings: creative jurist and great American!

3. Lars Ulrich
Having already weighed in on one of the hot-button constitutional issues of the day, internet file0sharing, Lars Ulrich has the experience and qualifications necessary to replace outgoing Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Unafraid to name names, Ulrich realizes that justice should not be handed out haphazardly, that jurisprudence is not a popularity contest. As the drummer on seminal metal album And Justice For All, Ulrich may just be the best man for the job.

I'll post the MP3 later. Keep your pants on. OKAY, HERE IT IS:

Hey kids, if you want to dodge the draft, but don't want to move to Canada, just get a tattoo on a body part that would be visible while in a military uniform. If you still want to rep Canada, get a maple leaf tattoo.

Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb & Lynx Gaede look just like Mary Kate and Ashley but sing racist songs. ""We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."

There are still crazy, crazy people in this country.

Just days after the announcement that manager Ken Macha would not be returning, the Fremont, Las Vegas, I mean, Oakland A’s decided to resign him after all.

Saw this on Daily Kos, from Sunday's Chicago Tribune:
"Theodore Roosevelt Heller, 88, loving father of Charles (Joann) Heller; dear brother of the late Sonya (the late Jack) Steinberg. Ted was discharged from the U.S. Army during WWII due to service-related injuries, and then forced his way back into the Illinois National Guard insisting no one tells him when to serve his country. Graveside services Tuesday 11 a.m. at Waldheim Jewish Cemetery (Ziditshover section), 1700 S. Harlem Ave., Chicago. In lieu of flowers, please send acerbic letters to Republicans."

This is completely not surprising at all, whatsoever.

I caught the premier of Quality of Life last night at the UA Galaxy on Van Ness, the only theatre it is showing in right now in San Francisco, and in the world actually. A wider rollout is planned, but it all depends on how well these screenings do at UA Galaxy according to director Benjamin Morgan.

The movie was filmed on location in The Mission and follows the divergent paths that the lives of two graffiti writers take.Pick up the latest issue of Mesh for an interview I did with Morgan a few weeks back.

...how are thes jokers still in power?

Cheney's Chief of Staff withheld information from prosecutor.

Even conservative Wall Street Journal sees possible conspiracy.

If Martha went to prison, Frist has to as well, right?

Never get your anti-Bush photos developed at Wal-Mart.
