Happy Birthday Neil Gaiman!
The only thing about Mr. Gaiman that I don't agree with is the fact that he is very conservative and refused to write for Penthouse.
Today he turns 51. I can only hope that the next 20 years of his writing are as astounding, earth shattering, enlightening and deeply spiritual as the last.
My favorite passage ~ From American Gods:
"I worship your breasts and your hair and your cunt. I worship your thighs and your eyes and your cherry-red lips..."
"Yes..."
"I worship your nipples, from which the milk of life flows. Your kiss is honey and your touch scorches like fire, and I worship it... Bring me your lust in the morning, and bring me relief and your blessing in the evening. Let me walk in the dark places unharmed and let me come to you once more and sleep beside you and make love with you again. I worship you with everything that is within me, and everything inside my mind, with everything I've been and my dreams..."
This, from a man who wouldn't write for Penthouse. Even so, brilliant...
Keep Smiling :D

OH MY GOD! People, Really!!!!
I feel like I am in the 1950's all over again (and that is especially disconcerting because I was born in 1977).
But, I feel like I am in the 1950's because there are so many freaking people going bat shit crazy about the EAS system. The federal agencies (FCC, FEMA, DHS, NOAA and NWS) will be temporarily cutting off Television and Radio broadcasts to test an emergency notification system (And it's being shut down during RUSH's broadcast of all things, gasp!!!)
What the real issue is to me: Several members of the "Tea" party are outraged about this. And that is about all they are: loud, stupid, and totally wasting my time. So if you are going to call your self a "Tea" party, then really folks, lets have some f-ing tea. I want to see you go out dressed as savages and overthrow some goods that are being unjustly taxed. Hell, I would be happy if you went out and held a sign in front of the mayors office for half an hour. But no, we can not do that, and worse, we can look down on the "rabble" who are trying to change things, while we continue to sit in our nice cozy upper middle class homes, with our secure 401K's.
Seriously people:
QUIT BITCHING AND START A REVOLUTION!
Keep Smiling :D

Happy Election Day!
Did you know that elections are always held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November? Why not the first Tuesday in November, or the first Wednesday?
Bet you really really want to know why...
Actually, it's pretty boring - In 1845 Congress decided to make a national election day. It was going to be the first Tuesday in November, but there was already a law stating that there could only be 34 days between election day and the first Wednesday in December when the Electoral College meets and sometimes the first Tuesday is more that 34 days from the first Wednesday and so... We have elections on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
But why Tuesday? Because Wednesday was market day for lots of early farmers, and they had to travel an entire DAY to get to a poling place. So in order not to mess with commerce we vote on Tuesdays
NOW GO VOTE!

John Emil List
David Hendricks
Ted Bundy
Dorethea Puente
Scott Peterson
Ed Gein
What do all of these people have in common?
They all decided that November 7th was a good day to kill someone, or in a few cases several someones'. Although, Ted, Dot and Scott (HA HA HA) are another story... Ted failed, Dot got dug up and Scott got locked away...
The Moral of the story is... Today you may feel like killing someone, but know that you won't get away with it, so plot some other form of destruction.

Imagine... 1860.
Everything is dark (mostly because I am writing this after dark... It could be day time. Who knows?)
Everything is dark, earlier, when it was light, you cast your vote (that means you must be a man, who owns property - so much for that fighting for freedom and taxation with representation, we just adopted the same laws that oppressed us...) and you voted for the guy in the big hat.
Mr. Lincoln was the 16th president of the US and served from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. He was one of the most unpopular people in politics, but still managed to free slaves, keep Britain from making the south a colony and worked to reunite the country after the Civil War.
Mr. Lincoln was voted into office, the first time, today in 1860.

"What the hell is Guy Fawkes Day?"
"Wow, you are a blithering idiot."
"Okay, and what the hell is Guy Fawkes Day?
"Duh... the English were so happy that their stupid king didn't die by assassination that they threw a big party."
"Umm... Party?"
"Yeah... Party. They caught a guy, his name was Guy"
"Ha! Ha ha ha. Really?"
"Yeah. He was guarding a bunch of gun powder that was supposed to be used to kill the king, but it didn't work. So the Parliament said, You must party."
"Cool. What kind of party?"
"Bonfire, fireworks, burning straw look alikes.."
"WHAT?"
"Idiot. Effigy, its a something that looks like something. In this case a scarecrow if you will that looks like the Guy. Fawkes.
"... Ha Ha Ha... That's only witty in writing."
"Shut up. Idiot."
Keep Smiling :D

Hmm... King Tut or the Feral Girl Genie... hmm... its a debate... What do I pick, King Tut who has captivated the world, but was really a loser who married his cousin or the girl who was strapped to a potty chair by her abusive father and never learned to talk or actually do anything beyond hiss, bark and spit...
I could count the merits of each, but really folk I encourage you to go look up both...
There.
Keep Smiling :D
