Given the recent selection of Gov. Palin as the Republican Vice President Elect- I thought that I should update a previous post:
Choose wisely folks...!

Quote from Illuminatus!
First off, I'd like to thank Lizzard for commenting. The rest of you non-participants can eat it. I need input! What sucks? What connects some extra with you? What is just plain dumb? Help!!!
Anyway, now that's out of the way:
"What would you think of a man who not only kept an arsenal in his home, but was collecting at enormous financial sacrifice a second arsenal to protect the first one? What would you say of this man so frightened his neighbors that they in turn were collecting weapons to protect themselves from him? What if this man spent ten times as much money on his expensive weapons as he did on the education of his children? What if one of his children criticized his hobby and he called that child a traitor and a bum and disowned it? And he took another child who had obeyed him faithfully and armed that child and sent it out into the world to attack neighbors? What would you say about a man who introduces poisons into the water he drinks and the air he breathes? What if this man not only if feuding with the people on his block but involves himself in the quarrels of others in distant parts of the city and even in the suburbs? Such a man would clearly be a paranoid schizophrenic, [...] with homicidal tendencies."
The idea of the corporate/government citizenship said in such a colorful manner. This book is messed up but has some great gems.

Burningman 2008 - Temple Set 1
Every year a group builds a temple made mostly of wood, and bits of this and that. It is a solemn place where people can say goodbye to loves lost, thank the gods for their good fortune, or just reflect on personal experiences. It is typically among the quieter places on the playa, I can't say I remember any art cars blasting tunes near the temple. People typically write to loved ones who have passed into the unknown ether and by leaving these messages to be burned on Sunday (the Sabbath), maybe hope that the messages will be heard. After this Temple post, I'm not going to add any more commentary, but would rather let the little bits of writing I've captured speak for themselves.

Intermission 3: Froth, Foam, and Slop
Yes, that looks like what you think it looks like, and no that isn't really it.
