According to the World's Smallest Political Quiz, I'm a Left-Liberal ("Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality.").

YMMV...

Just seen in local paper: a gathering of 80's "hair bands" at a local bar of a massing never previously seen in this area. On the program are Dokken, Ratt, Warrant, Firehouse, & LA Guns.

Stock up, eastern Iowans, there may be soon a shortage of hairspray....

Good stuff from The Daily Probe:

Directorial Intervention Takes Star Wars From
Lucas

HOLLYWOOD (DPI) - The Wachowski brothers
(The Matrix) and M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth
Sense) were among a group of directors who
stormed the offices of Lucasfilm Ltd. yesterday
and wrest control of Star Wars: Episode III from a
stunned George Lucas. "They were no longer good
for each other," Shyamalan explained, adding,
"Someone really should have done this the
moment the first Ewok was ever put on screen."
Lucas will undergo treatment which may include
shock therapy while watching sappy, awkward,
and poorly scripted romantic scenes.

PBS Fundraisers to Make Your Children Cry
Until They Reach Goal

NEW YORK (DPI) - Fed up with deadbeat viewers
who never offer financial support, PBS announced
that it will pressure viewers to increase donations
by replacing popular children's programs with
whining for more pledge money. "The time has
come for us to stop being milquetoast-y liberal
pushovers," said Richard Wykowski, PBS public
relations director. "Relentless pleading and
begging for money during Antiques Roadshow used
to be enough, but our viewers have gotten
stingier. So from now on, we'll be beating on child
viewers during Teletubbies and Clifford the Big
Red Dog." When questioned about the harshness
of the new approach, Wykowski responded,
"We're done being the educational mammary
glands for the public."

"Educational mammary glands". Heh.

Found in my e-mail:

Relationships should come with those little black
boxes that airplanes have. That way, when they
crash and burn, we'd actually get some answers.

Thanks, Top5.com!

More proof that some people go out of their way to be offended: STARBUCKS YANKS AD MOCKING 9/11

I think that the people that were offended by this ad should seek professional help to deal with their feelings about 9/11. What's next? Should we ban the use of the phrase "twin towers"? Should we change the emergency number to something other than 911, to soothe those of sensitive outlooks?

Bah. Get a life.

Just found: The Hauser Report. For those of you that know me, you know why I find this fascinating, but beyond that, we apparently share some of the same views....check it out.

This is soooooo me:

Gemini May 21 - June 21

Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac, and those born under this Sign will
be quick to tell you all about it. That's because they love to talk! It's not
just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving force behind a
Gemini's conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are intellectually
inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information. The
more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that information
later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely
interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with these folks
are always enjoyable, since Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the
proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can
rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination
waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini be boring? Never!

Since Geminis are a mix of the yin and the yang, they are represented
perfectly by the Twins. The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an
issue, a wonderfully practical quality. Less practical is the fact that you're
not sure which Twin will show up half the time. Geminis may not know
who's showing up either, which can prompt others to consider them fickle
and restless.

They can be wishy-washy, too, changing their mood on a simple whim.
It's this characteristic which readily suggests the Mutable Quality
assigned to this Sign. Mutable folks are flexible and go with the flow.
Further, the Twins are adaptable and dexterous and can tackle many
things at once. It's a good thing, too, when you consider their myriad
interests. The downside of such a curious mind, however, can be a lack of
follow-through. How much can any one person do, anyway.

Throw in some self-doubt and a whole lotta beefcake manliness, mix well, and you've got me! (via Up Yours)
