Things are looking "up"

Have you seen the Cialis commerical where the announcer talks about how awesome your tallywacker will be once you take the ED drug, and at the end gives the warning about priapism?

He says something along the lines of, "If you have an erection lasting more than four hours, call your doctor."

Fair enough - but first I'm calling my friends.

"Dude, guess what I've been doing for four hours? Oh yeah!"

A retraction

So, it turns out I'm not the Messiah. I may have told many of you that I had the ability to create life from scratch, but it turns out I just left the bread out too long. This is really embarassing.

Those indulgences I sold you to get into heaven probably aren't going to fly, either.

Not unlike my submarine/airplane invention of 2004.

Beacon of Liberty and a Tad of Hypocrisy

I'm all for beefing up border security to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country. I think the ones that are here need to get in line for citizenship, and if they have caused any kind of trouble, be deported.

I do find it rather amusing that right-wing talk show hosts go on and on about how America is a beacon to the world and a bastion of hope for the heathen nations around us, and then get deeply insulted when people risk their lives to travel across the desert to get here. But logic isn't a strong suit of the anti-intellectual crowd.

However, the massive protests may have backfired in L.A. Most people were stunned to find their commute on the freeways cut in half when the illegal immigrants ditched work. Nothing gets people here motivated like improving the flow of traffic. Seriously, if someone said sacrificing children to Midas the Muffler Man would shorten the commute, most Angelenos would ask, "How many children are we talking?"

I'd be willing to go three a week. It's a nice odd number.
