Personal - Monday data dump

Sometimes I wish I had tourettes syndrome so I could just spew a string of obscenities and get away with it.
====================================================
I have an idea for an animated short.

It's an analogy of the Iraq war. It starts with a young boy named Georgie discovering that a bunch of cockroaches have gotten into his kitchen and knocked over two boxes of his favorite sugar cereal. He gets all pissed off and starts killing cockroaches and rips open the walls to get at their hiding places. He's almost gotten every cockroach, but unfortunately, before he finishes the job, he remembers a story his daddy told him about some flies that he tried to kill once in another room of the house. Little Georgie drops what he's doing and runs into the other room with a box of fruit and starts flinging the fruit at the flies. He kills a few, but more flies lay eggs in the fruit and produce more flies. Pretty soon, the flies are everywhere and the cockroaches have rebuilt the wall in the kitchen.

Then his best friend shoots someone in the face.

Now I just have to learn how to animate stuff and come up with a better ending.

Current events - Cheney

Via Think Progress

From a teleconfrence interview with the biggest Dick (Cheney) on the planet.
The thing that’s partly disturbing about it is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.


Sweet jumpin Jeebus on a pogo-stick…

al Qaeda knows we won’t “complete the task” because we showed them we wouldn’t when Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld let their collective ADD kick in and they stopped focusing on Afghanistan and bin Laden.

This just shows that the American people, at least those who are in touch with reality, have realized we let the wrong people get a hold of our country.
