There's just too many to pick from



I know everybody, and I mean everybody must be thinking of this when they see these Palin interview clips:



To be fair to Miss Teen South Carolina, she probably did not have an idea of what they were going to ask her.

As an American I'm insulted by the Republican party.

Putin rears his ugly head and comes into the airspace of America.

I thinking about how to photoshop what this may look like.

Brilliant

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

DEAR AMERICAN:

I NEED TO ASK YOU TO SUPPORT AN URGENT SECRET BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH A TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF GREAT MAGNITUDE.

I AM MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY OF THE REPUBLIC OF AMERICA. MY COUNTRY HAS HAD CRISIS THAT HAS CAUSED THE NEED FOR LARGE TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF 800 BILLION DOLLARS US. IF YOU WOULD ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSFER, IT WOULD BE MOST PROFITABLE TO YOU.

I AM WORKING WITH MR. PHIL GRAM, LOBBYIST FOR UBS, WHO WILL BE MY REPLACEMENT AS MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY IN JANUARY. AS A SENATOR, YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS THE LEADER OF THE AMERICAN BANKING DEREGULATION MOVEMENT IN THE 1990S. THIS TRANSACTIN IS 100% SAFE.

THIS IS A MATTER OF GREAT URGENCY. WE NEED A BLANK CHECK. WE NEED THE FUNDS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE CANNOT DIRECTLY TRANSFER THESE FUNDS IN THE NAMES OF OUR CLOSE FRIENDS BECAUSE WE ARE CONSTANTLY UNDER SURVEILLANCE. MY FAMILY LAWYER ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON WHO WILL ACT AS A NEXT OF KIN SO THE FUNDS CAN BE TRANSFERRED.

PLEASE REPLY WITH ALL OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, IRA AND COLLEGE FUND ACCOUNT NUMBERS AND THOSE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN TO WALLSTREETBAILOUT@TREASURY.GOV SO THAT WE MAY TRANSFER YOUR COMMISSION FOR THIS TRANSACTION. AFTER I RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION, I WILL RESPOND WITH DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT SAFEGUARDS THAT WILL BE USED TO PROTECT THE FUNDS.

YOURS FAITHFULLY MINISTER OF TREASURY PAULSON

My computer is in the shop. And I've been in Heidelberg and Venice most of the last 2 weeks. So no photos and few posts. I got a macbook replacement and it broke and so now I've been downgraded to an old G3 iBook until I can show that I can take care of it. wah.

In a world where....

I was surfing the tubes and saw that Don LaFontaine has died. I didn't know his name until now, but he was the classic voice of all those movie trailers.
Watch...


Which reminded me of this classic comedy routine that never gets old by Pablo Francisco , who may do a better Don LaFontaine voice than Don LaFontaine. Plus explosions.





I always want to jump out my seat at the end of this like "Yeeeahh!"

Football Season has begun

And I'm watching two college football games live at the same time in Dresden, Germany.
Including the Wolverines. Life is good.

Point Taken

The Editors, a big NFL/Patriots fan, lets loose.

Pemba (Tanzania) sunset

Divers returning from the reefs at sunset.

I finally finished scanning in my slides from Africa (kind of). So hopefully I can post them up in my blog now along with some stories if I can still remember them....

Waldschlößchenbrücke

Well, the evil bridge is well under construction, but that hasn't stopped the forces of good from continuing to fight it.
This looks like fun:

A bike-ride demonstration through the city next Sunday. From the town hall, through the old city, across the river, right by my flat, and then up to the construction site.
