Some trust fund prosecutor, got off-message at Yale, thinks he's gonna run this up the flagpole, make a name for himself, maybe get elected some two-bit, congressman from nowhere, with the result that Russia or China can suddenly start having, at our expense, all the advantages we enjoy here. No, I tell you. No, sir. Corruption charges! Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets.


Corruption is why we win.

Snakes on a Plane. Genius. Pure genius. It reminds me of the SNL skit and all kinds of other things, but the best part is the thought that Samuel L. Jackson is going to be on a plane with snakes.


I just find it hard not to picture the Pulp Fiction Samuel L. Jackson in this movie. Coming up to snakes and pointing a gun in their face and saying things like "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." or all grammatical uses for the F Bomb (which I don't think i need to leave examples of here).

i think this guy is as excited for this as i am. and drenching every word with a thick coating of sarcasm, as i am.


be the change you want to see in the world.

well i always cross the line
but i'm working on that i'm working on that
one touch and i am over
it's just that i'm no good at conversations
these silent demonstrations
that i'm already in too deep



the boyish smile hides the battle scars
and you wonder just how innocent we are

i give up














So I close my eyes
And I close my mouth
And do this all in time to the music
That dances like fools set on fire
Flailing their arms in a room full of whores

Now that the US has been eliminated, I just don't know what team to support for the rest of the World Cup. Such a tough decision...
