Lunch Break

Harkin Comes 'Round: I would like to say that Harkin's conversion on Gay Marriage proved that not everyone becomes conservative as they age. But being for gay marriage rights is the conservative stance. Marriage is inherently a stabilizing institution. Therefore allowing 10% of the population participate will stabilize the culture further.
Peas in the bigot Pod: Obama spokesman Gibbs and Miss California - separated at birth? If Gibbs was wearing a swimsuit or a sparkly gown, you could say he looked like Miss California. Okay that's a stretch...But LORD OBAMA and Miss C are in agreement on Gay Marriage.
BCS Bullshit: BCS lobbyist J.C. Watts gets 630,000 bucks to promote the pathetic college bowl system. Fans and players get a big, fat F**k You!
Obviously, the only reason the BCS is willing to spend a whole lot of money to protect the current system of crowning a college football champion is that the people who run the BCS are making a whole lot of money under the current system.

Hall of Fame Tweet o the Day:

A good way to end Mother's Day is by parading around
in your apartment in your underwear,
listening to Sade, and drinking whiskey...

Uh...good to know for next year...
Email from China: I got this lovely email from an American reader in China after my "facebook/twitter" post:

There was a time, not long ago, when vinyl record covers were considered works of art.There was a time, not long ago, when friends would sit around and listen to music together. There was a time, not long ago, when people would play stupid board games. There was a time, not long ago, when families would share the joys of laughter at the dinner table. Some memories can never be downloaded. Perhaps some ideas should never change. No matter where the next road takes me, I'll always remember that along the way, It's not the place, but the people who make us who we are...
Music: The email above prompted me to post two versions of the song below. The first being a cover by Madonna... before you dismiss it out of hand, watch it, it is one of my favorite videos. Then, of course, the original is posted below that...

So bye bye Miss American pie, drove my Chevy to the levee....
