Spring Chickens

~ A SF writer postulates on using boobs as an energy source HERE.

~ Props to Kal Penn for ditching Hollywood for eastside's Tinseltown and becoming the associate director of the White House Office of Public Liaison. Sounds like a great PR gig for a stoner from Jers. Go Brown!!!

~ From the land down under, we get reports of a mother arrested for drunk driving and breast feeding AT THE SAME TIME!!! HERE.

~ Fox news told me that Obama hosted a seder dinner in honor of the chosen's tribe Passover holiday. However, unlike Clinton who did the same, Obama actually attended the dinner. Le Chaim!

~ And some news to put you in your place this Spring Friday:
One of this year's NYTimes scholarship winners is "a 20-year-old who immigrated from China with her parents in 2007 (but her parents returned, because it was too tough), makes $560/month and pays $550 in rent, leaving $10/month, 'which she spends carefully on large bags of rice, chicken leg quarters at 49 cents a pound, and whatever vegetables are cheapest.' Thanks to 'two free meals a day at school, a student MetroCard and the unexpected kind act— her English teacher, for instance, gave her $100,' she manages—and has a 93 average at her high school."

I'm not one to remember my dreams

...........but recently I've been waking up to residual memories of them and it's weird.

Thoughts?

News of the Feared

CHINA - NY Times states that in efforts to flout the Communist Party's draconian internet censorship, thousands of Chinese from "serious scholars to usually politically apathetic urban white-collar workers" have been perpetuating the legend of a mythic creature, the grass mud horse [as depicted in the cartoon above]. The conundrum is that when phonetically said in Chinese, grass mud horse sounds very similar to the Chinese idiom for "FUCK YOUR MOTHER."

ALBANY NY - The NY legislature is set to repeal the remaining vestiges of the 70's era Rockefeller drug laws that forces mandatory sentences for drug offenses and replaces it with treatment options without need for the prosecutor's consent.

INTERWEB 2.2 - John McCain's daughter, 24 year old Meghan, bitches about how her her father's Presidential campaign ruined her dating life HERE.

WASHINGTON DC - Billy Corgan erased all validity from my emo years as he threw the memory of Melancholy and Infinite Sadness down the fuckin drain when he came out in support of the proposed Ticketmaster/Live Nation merger. Other notable performers that publicly supported this raping were: Eddie Van Halen, Seal, and Journey......and as musically.com interestingly reveals: all these performers, including Corgan, are "managed or co-managed by Front Line Management, whose boss Irving Azoff is also CEO of… Ticketmaster." I guess being married to Heidi Klum doesn't mean you think for yourself.
