A Weird Animated Fable - You Know, For Kids

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Oil Drilling

The Senate voted today to drill for oil in the Alaskan Arctic Wildlife Refuge - 52-47. Fucking pricks.

Suprisingly Coleman voted against it, despite intense pressure from the Bush administration. Coleman, handpicked by the administration, followed by Wellstone's fatal biplane "accident", had said in his campaign that he'd vote against arctic oil drilling. (Though he's voted for plenty of other intensely fascist things like Real ID.)

What pisses me off more than anything is the Federal Government controverting decades of its own precedent going back to Teddy Roosevelt setting aside National Parks and Refuges. Apparently all it takes is a scum sucking company like Exxon (who already cost taxpayers 4.5 BILLION dollars in cleanup after their drunk tanker ship captain capsized the Valdez off the coast of Alaska) to make suggestions, and it's a done deal. The oil contingent has been aggressively trying to take over government since the Eisenhower administration. Even Nixon turned them down. But bitchwad Bush and his crony criminals are open for big business deals. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or not, if you don't think that the United States government is a discount store for multinational corporations, or an overpaying subsidizer of the military industrial complex to drain the treasury in order to blame anyone left in government that believes in investing in the country istelf - then don't vote for Neo-Con Airhead Republicans. Duh.

And here's the supposed benefit: TEN YEARS from now, with the amount that's drilled there, gas prices will reduce ONE CENT PER GALLON. This is worth it? It helps to have Vice Resident Darth Cheney and a Secretary of State who literally have Exxon tankers NAMED after them. What's next, Disney taking over Jellystone Park?

UPDATE: "The spending battle now heads to the House, where Republicans are divided over whether to cut more deeply across a broader range of social programs. Also, House GOP leaders may remove a provision that allows drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge....It appears increasingly likely that protests from moderates will force House GOP leaders to drop the oil drilling plan and revisit it in final compromise talks with the Senate."

Hitchcock

Hitchcock started making films in the silent movie era, working on 17 films before 1925 in the UK. He went on to make nine more silent films until his last silent and first sound films in 1929. He went on to make 15 more in Great Britain over the next 11 years until he hit Hollywood in 1940. From there he made 29 more films in the U.S. until his last in 1976.

Toonces Videos

Bob and Matt saw a cat at the Humane Society whose mouth was always partially open for some reason, so they took it home and named it Toonces.

It died a year later as I recall.

Tilton

One of my favorite insane people of all time, Robert Tilton is endlessly amusing whether you keep the sound on or not. Actually I spent the entire month of January 1990 watching his show on cable - years before he went to court and had to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars for defrauding people. I even went to his church in Dallas a year later and a horse walked down the aisle with some guy dressed as Yankee Doodle on top of it while Tilton was speaking in 'tongues'. I wrote an article about him, but the magazine I sent it to had done a spread on Tilton the month before, unfortunately. He's a freak - almost Dickensinian in a way. And there aren't many of those nowadays.

Japanese Nintendo Band

This lovely band's only instrument is the original Nintendo machine from the late 80's. They connect keyboards and samplers to the circuit board, play stuff and then sing along. You can hear the beginnings of a few songs, or buy an album if you wish..

Whatever Happened To...

..Heritage USA? You know - the multimillion dollar sprawling resort and amusement park founded by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker in Fort Mill, South Carolina? And then he screwed that whore and was sent to prison for defrauding contributors for 50 years which got reversed on appeal and now he's got a show broadcasting from Branson, Missouri? Well it's completely abandoned now - a ghost town of sorts replete with broken windows, overgrown go-kart tracks and abandoned Olympic sized swimming pools:

"To give you an idea of the size, you could fit the original Disneyland, UK's Blackpoll Pleasure Beach, Six Flags Great America, and Universal Studio's Florida all inside the grounds together, and still have enough room left over to add Cedar Point, Knott's Berry Farm, and little old Geauga Lake Ohio..."
