"You know what we should do? Send up a Mars mission and then once they're up in space, call them and say: "You guys can't reenter the atmosphere until you develop a cure for AIDS. Get crackin'."

Indiana is the armpit of America.
"Cecelia Coan of Evansville, Ind., looks over the deep-fried cow brain sandwich she ordered to go at the Hilltop Inn in Evansville, Ind. The brains, battered with egg, seasoning and flour, puff up when cooked and trace back to a time when southern Indiana newcomers from Germany and Holland were frugal with their slaughtered cattle."

Fast Food Nation: One hell of a good reason to vote
Read this and you won't want fries — or anything
Two great events today ... met and helped Howard Dean supporters in Tremont (you can see me to the left in this picture) and finished Fast Food Nation, one of the best books I've ever read, right up there with 1984.
Not only do we get to worry about Mad Cow disease in ourselves and our pets, we can also relish the fact that American taxpayers subsidize McDonalds and Burger King through Small Business Association loans to franchisees and through tax breaks to restaurants for "training" their workers to, say, operate a microwave.
So, thank you moveon.org for giving my Wednesday night action, and thank you Eric Schlosser for giving me new purpose and ammunition to both reform my life and my political beliefs. More reivews of Fast Food Nation

Alex 'Zivojinovich' Lifeson arrested
Rush Guitarist in New Year's Eve Fight
"Deputies said they had to use a stun gun on 50-year-old Alex Zivojinovich - known on stage as Alex Lifeson - for what they described as drunken, violent behavior at the Naples Ritz-Carlton hotel.
The guitarist spat blood on a deputy's face and pushed a deputy down a hotel stairwell during the struggle, a police report said."
Awesome. This is just the punk-edge behavior that Rush needed to get back into mainstream media. Maybe Geddy Lee should claim that Liv Tyler is actually his daughter, then he could do a rap-friendly remix of an Aerosmith song. OK, wishful thinking.
