quatre-vingt-deux

Looks like the next war is starring… Iran!
Mysterious explosions, downed drones, a quick hop to the US base in Bahrain over the Persian Gulf…

From 30 Rock:

“Love is like an onion. And you peel away layer after stinky layer until you are just weeping over the sink.”

Just read in the New Yorker that 1 in 10 Europeans are conceived in an Ikea bed.
THAT’S depressing.

Small earthquake ROCKS DC and Northern Virginia.

Dozens injured by running their fat asses into large screen t.v.s and furniture while panicking.

The untold story is that Osama was a washed-up hermit living in a single room in a crappy cinder block house in Pakistan.  I read the book “The Looming Tower” about al-Qaeda, and I was struck by the self imposed austerity that millionaire Osama put himself through in the name of Islam.

The media seems to think he was relaxing in a million dollar palace.

Truth is, he probably slept on the floor for god.

He probably wanted to be shot, that is why he picked one of the worst hiding spots in Pakistan.

I feel very bad for the people who lost their cardboard homes and plasma TVs in the tornadoes.

Even more so for the people who died.

That said, why are Americans in such bad shape?  They are fat, poor and living in shacks surrounded by TVs.

The destruction looks very similar to Haiti.  Eerily so.  The only difference is an occasional shirtless old man, or a pimply teenager in a “Tap Out” shirt.   Americans are broke and living on credit.

Ok, if I was a cynic, I might think something like….

If showing their birth certificate isn’t good enough to get them off your back, kill somebody.

Sure am glad I’m not a a cynic.

There seems to be even more of a disconnect in America between humans than the last time I was here.
Everyone is walking around with a stupid looking bluetooth headset, talking about meaningless crap, all the while staring at their hand and tapping at it. Or at least, a device firmly embedded in it.
People are walking into things while they play Angry Birds.
I am going to write a common prayer to protect the palm gazer.

The news that I am reading today is how Apple may become the biggest company in the world, larger than Exxxon.

Bubble alert!

Apple is a toy company, while Exxon sucks oil out of the planet like a vampire and sells it back to us.

Don’t get me wrong, I am writing this on a hackintosh, a 300$ computer that i hacked to run the lovely Apple Operating System.  But is it that lovely, or is Microsoft just so bad?  So… my point is… I like their toys.

But at some point, everyone will have all their toys and won’t need anymore.  How are they going to keep us buying crap?

Right now, the utility value of apple is near zero, while exxon, unfortunately, has a death grip on our society.  (You can’t continue to sell 15 millon iphones every quarter… it is as inevitable as trying to un-burn oil)

Burning platform indeed.
