FATTEN UP AMERICA!

http://nyti.ms/crOk7Z

This is exactly what's wrong with America.

This isn't not a question of big govt small govt this is a question of smart government

This small example of dept of agriculture is telling of what happens at all levels of govt, moneyed interests are given higher priority than health and well being of American citizens.

Small policies like this are indicative of the larger trend in govt policies towards fatter richer dumber rather than healthier smarter and happier.

America is succumbing to extremism, not from the middle east but from middle America and the middle of the aisle. A few years ago, I came to the realization that nothing is black and white. Things tend to be more or less this, and more or less that, with varying degrees of similarity and difference, certain aspects shared, many not.

American politics are overrun with violent opposition and hateful speech. Most Americans can agree on the importance of certain things; health, education, civil liberties, national defense, etc. Isn't it about time we came to terms with the fact that there is more than one way to improve these things..

Multiplicity and plurality of discoures is missing in today's political landscape.

Fuck lobbying.

LA MEUSE

French people, especially young ones, are crazy when it comes to cars, or maybe us americans are too lackadaisical. I took a trip to Xavier's ongoing cabin project this weekend, and had the good fortune to catch a ride and not have to pay for a train. We struck out from the Paris suburbs, direction - La Meuse. Before leaving, comments were made about how with five people in the car, it was overloaded and potentially a risky drive, in case the brakes don't work, downshift, use the engine brake, the car isn't used to this load, so be prepared, all good advice, but you just get the impression that you're embarking on something much more epic or dangerous than just a car ride. 10 minutes outside of Paris, we were reassured that the driver had checked the air pressure in all tires, and good thing, because they all differed slightly. The driver commented on how crazy the other drivers on the road were because the had "such a close following distance" "Zero zone de securité, c'est hallucinant, les gens!" We pull into our first rest stop, the driver panics and doesn't know where to park at the gas station, or how to get there ( just keep going straight, until you arrive at the gas station, yes you can even pass through the place where people get gas, not park there, and continue to the parking spot) mini crisis avoided...Arriving in Verdun and leaving the autoroute, then the horror stories of driving too fast through villages began, girlfriends scolded driving boyfriends about speed limits, paying attention to shoulders, and to watch out for the fog. At one point we went through a patch of fog that lasted maybe two seconds, shrieking ensued. After a nice weekend of woodsy outdoorsin' we hit the road for Paris, and the horror, we were stuck behind tractors...on more than one occasion! after quasi panic attacks, we explained that it was okay, and all you had to do was pass, quickly, on the left.

The ride home was less problematic, i think because everyone was too tired, and maybe, just maybe, because they accepted that driving a car with people in it, is actually that easy.

CLASSIC BLOG POST (lots of inline links)

My friend Beto hooked me up with the box set LIKE OMIGOD 80S. Its pretty much the best way to get a dance party started, or push through your shitty afternoon of work. Check the tracklist here.

This boxset is the tits, honest engine.

Through this music collection, I rediscoverd five time grammy award winner Christopher Cross and his magical hit "Sailing" which some claimed spawned the yacht rock genre.

Check out this incredible live video

did you see that Christopher Cross was wearing a number 34 jersey, which we can only assume, thanks to that light blue, red, and white colorway to be a Houston Oilers jersey.

Thats right, Cross is repping none other than Earl Campbell. Too sick. Why? Cross is from San Antone

afterword:

NSYNC also covered this song, unfortunately and not surprisingly, their version sucks. I would link you but you can find it on youtube if you don't believe me

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ?

I would suggest that all who arent fans of large coroporations on Facebook to become fans, that way you can get updates like "Just reminding everyone to swing through Chick-Fil-A on your way home for a new thick milkshake" and watch as 3,000 people like it.

NÜ USA METAL

In the first of the four memos, we learn that one prisoner has been the subject of a careful psychoanalysis that had revealed a strong fear of insects, particularly stinging insects. The sudden onset of a phobia can produce automatic, uncontrollable reactions–the fear grips total control of the subject’s mind. Rapid heartbeat, a shortness of breath, trembling, an overwhelming desire to flee. The prisoner is prepared to do anything to escape the cause of the phobia.

The CIA therefore proposed to lock the prisoner in a coffin-like box to which would be added an insect. Judge–yes, the author is a sitting appeals court judge in San Francisco–Jay Bybee’s memorandum discusses this process in detail and settles on a pre-agreed script about how Room 101 will be used, addressing in turn the toxicity of the insect to be used, the dimensions of the box in which the prisoner will be confined, and the false statements which will be made to the prisoner in order to heighten his level of apprehension, with the intention of triggering a “panic attack.” (via harpers)


Damn, the US is so metal. Part of me wants to make jokes about how evil this is, and the other part of me wants to cringe at what democracy has become and how modern nation-states operate. i guess ill just keep cruising the internet and posting ridiculous stuff to my tumblr.

HUGHESY!!!

you old dog!

you've managed once again to make me laugh out loud and wonder awkwardly to myself if my roommate thinks im crazy.

This is directly from the national hoax, or as i like to say "hot off the hoax". who is responsible for this chef d'oeuvre you ask? none other than locally renowned celebrity & heartbreaker alex hughes.

I know dream talk is lame. I rarely hear a good dream story. That being said, I had the best morning dream the other day…

There I was hanging out with a bunch of pals in what appeared to be a shitty hotel lobby. After a few minutes of dream chatter, we decided to investigate. I mean it’s not like anyone had to go to their dream-job, or had dream jury-duty. So we’re looking around and we realize we’re hanging out in one of those modern mega-churches. Somehow we’d failed to notice the signs which included 40 foot crosses and tons of white people. Dreams, so unreliable! Anyway now we’re wandering around this giant church and it becomes painfully clear that this is one racist church. There’s caricatures all over the place, signs that read “no blacks!”. Shit is fucked. So we go to the bar. Yes, the bar. Because even though this is a super racist Church they have a fully stocked bar, not unlike the one in the Shining. So we’re sitting at this church bar, mulling over all the fucked up shit we’d just seen. Then the bartender rolls up. He tells us he’d been listening to our conversation, thought maybe we should check out the church’s commandments. We’re like “fuck it, sure.” He proceeds to pull out a Hallmark card that has Ten Commandments written on the front in that really crappy Hallmark font. You know the one it’s gold and embossed. So we open the card and there’s a list of commandments. I can only remember three:
-No sneezing-
-Be kind, rewind-
-Don’t be a jerk-
After we read this list we all looked at each other and started laughing.

The end.
