Political vultures of all stripes are circling Orlando.
History would have been different if Gore had won in 2000.
You weren't the gunman, but.....

Where I got the "None of you understand" bumper sticker...

MEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW...
Yep, I'm American. Several of the characteristics on the Snowstorm Thirteen list describe me. Of course, it's a cultural thing. Americans are taught that firm handshakes demonstrate strength and confidence, introducing yourself is good manners, etc.
Regarding the bumper stickers, Hillary Clinton should totally dress up like Rorschach and make "Watchmen" quotes during her campaign.
Wow! This was an exceptionally great list of links.
The French exercise link was hilarious, as was the dangerous intersection. The bookstore sign was hilarious on so many levels. But the "Who hates" broke my heart because it's so goddamn true.
Thanks again for the links.
That was really an impressive and beautiful show put on for that Gotthard(?) tunnel, reminded me a little of a "The Residents" (music crew) show! ... but quite a piece of work, I had no idea about the tunnel they were building, or such a big impressive production to open it!
Beautiful collection of libraries too
Not sure about recreating dinosaurs ... although it is a cool thing to do, what would they do? I guess have an amusement set up or something, maybe they can make 'dancing' dinosaurs and choreograph a show ... or make a bunch with the red- ass and one day unleash them on Wall Street during happy hour {:-)
Really liked that little treehouse community down in Costa Rica ... Later Infidel!
My Friends, .I bring you both Good Nres and Bad news.
First the Good news, Free Stinkie's , aka Free Thinke, has notified the blogging community that his computer has died. And that indeed is Very Good news.
But unfortunately he is in the process of getting a new computer and will return to the blogs when the new machine is up and running. And that is the Bad news.
Paul: Thanks for the source.
Ahab: It's funny, most Americans would probably consider all those behaviors simply normal, not realizing that they're nationally distinctive. I suppose people everywhere feel that way about however they behave, if they don't have much contact with foreigners.
Shaw: Thanks! My internetting does take me to some entertaining places -- and some passionate ones.
Ranch: The tunnel ceremony was kind of weird, but certainly held one's attention. Maybe the Satan stuff was inspired by the idea of the tunnel being so long it even went to Hell.
If they do recreate dinosaurs, they better have a heck of a big theme park -- with strong fences. Maybe we can convince Trump the dinosaurs are Mexican so he'll build a wall around them.
Proud: Let us observe a moment of silence for ThreeFinke's computer, which no doubt died from all the toxic nonsense he used it to post. May his next computer prove tougher and simply refuse to post his drivel.
You know Infidel ... the whole "satanic" thing was uncalled for in this, when I was searching for videos of this Gotthard show on YouTube, I could NOT believe the insults and comments left (I'm sure by mostly Americans), insulting everything from Swiss culture, Europeans, connecting this event to this Illuminati crap because a bunch of rich folks were there and saying that it resembled future slavery for Satan, they said it had "sex" in it, etc, etc ... it was so disgusting I thought about mentioning it in my posting I done on the on the event for my music/ arts section of my blog, but I didnt want to give any freak religious fundamoralist the benefit of even mentioning their views, they dont deserve mentioning. I seen NO SEX, the horned animal had to do from what I thought and seen, with the Alpine Ibex animal which is widely known in Swiss culture and the Alps ... instead, these freak f'n Christians tried to connect it with the classic "Baphomet" drawing of Eliphas Levi (1850's)I assume, Goat of Mendes, etc ... it's RIDICULOUS! ... these goddamn religious freaks ... see goddamn devils in their breakfast cereal! ... they could look at an infomercial of the 'hair club for men' or a new power drill and find something to connect it with Satan, their f'n brains are so out there ... they're more freaked out and paranoid than a meth addict!
