Friday Five & Bridge Tuesday, Apr. 08, 2008 - 12:35 a.m. I had a really nice birthday. Thanks to the folks who communicated with me yesterday. --- Hey, there was a semi-interesting Friday Five that I missed. So here it is:
1. I'd stop the biofuel nonsense. Yes, ethanol and its family members are generated from corn in these really spiffy factories, but the really spiffy factories are being run by CHARCOAL. 2. I would encourage the development of more international shipping lines across Arctic waters. The meager rations of Alaskan oil that are allowed by the eco-terrorists can then be moved a little more cheaply to the rest of the US than it can through the pipeline. 3. I would never again place the Olympic Games in any country that didn't espouse all of the precepts of the Declaration of Human Rights. This includes the USA, because we still have the death penalty. If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have? I would have super hearing, at will. Have no idea of a name. You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it? If the Minnow was on a three hour tour, where did Ginger get all of those dresses? If you were invisible for a day, what would you do? I'd pick a random Christian and follow them around and see how they behave differently when nobody is looking versus when in church. If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do? I'd say ....HELLOOOOOO, DALAI!!!!!! Link is to the left. --- Although I'm based in San Francisco, I am down in Anaheim, and there's been quite a bit of coverage of the demonstration on the Golden Gate Bridge. On the one hand, I'm infuriated at the negative publicity and the traffic tieups, and on the other hand, I'm proud to live in a city where good important crazy shit like this takes place. If you're gonna yammer at me about how the Olympics shouldn't be politicized, save your breath, because they have been so, every single time within my recollection. There are a lot of things that happen that should not happen but still do. It's just human nature. --- Okay, there. Have a good Tuesday. You have one week to get your taxes done if you haven't already. ---
