Blogblah!!!

Someone, somewhere is fulfilling a very obscure pop culture fetish right this moment. Is it you?

this weather has me exhausted. can’t go outside, I pure dee hate getting sweaty just getting in and out of the car and if the car’s outside, getting in the car is like getting into a sweat lodge. it’s too hot to even go swimming.

just by the way, don’t let the film snippet by nunzioX, below, freak you out. I just enjoy my friend’s expertise with the short film genre and hope you’ll use the link to go see some of his noir work.

speaking of hot, Obama’s overseas tour is the hot ticket this week, isn’t it? poor McCain, schedules a trip to an offshore rig to highlight his drilling stance and gets thwarted by both a hurricane and an oil spill that closed 26 miles of the Mississippi and left New Orleans’ French Quarter stinking of fuel vapors in addition to its normal puke in the gutters and garbage smell.

I understand that baby sis will be in town next week and I can hardly wait.

If I understand correctly, the Bush Administration has begun talking to Iran unconditionally, the military agrees that Afghanistan needs more emphasis, and Iraqi PM Maliki says that Obama’s 16 month withdrawal timeline is what his national government prefers.

Here, the national gas tax holiday has been soundly and roundly rejected and it appears that regulation is needed of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and that the economic downturn is somewhat more than just all in our whining minds. All the economic stands of Sen. McCain have been kneecapped by events.

Obama raised more than $50 million in June compared to McCain’s $20 million and the Illinois senator is putting massive numbers of paid staff in a 18 states and polling indicates the Democrat holds a lead in states with about 322 electoral votes (270 needed for election) along with gains in both the U.S. House and Senate for Democratic Party candidates.

A million Europeans may turn out to see Sen. Obama in Berlin, press reports say.

Meanwhile, an Israeli security source says President Bush will attack Iran between Nov. 9 of this year and Jan. 20, 2009, according to UPI.

On other blogs, the boys like “friends with benefits” while the girls are skeptical. What were the chances of that?

Me? I’m just trying to stay indoors during this very wierd full moon and I’m pissed because I just lost a filling the size of Delaware. In fact, it’s about the same shape as Delaware. It may actually BE Delaware. Has anyone tried to find Delaware on a map lately? Not so easy on the maps I look at. I’ve never been to Delaware. Don’t recall hearing very much about Delaware lately. Don’t know that I’ve heard anyone say that they have been to Delaware lately. You don’t think…Nah…Just saying, you know, it looks a LOT like Delaware … Delaware is a pretty small state and all…as states go…you would think it would be in the news if Delaware had disappeared into one of my molars, but I don’t read the papers every single day…I’m really pretty sure someone would mention the loss of Delaware, but most of my friends are here in OK…I’m not sure I know anyone who actually knows anyone in Delaware to call and see if their state had disappeared…well, anyway, I couldn’t talk to anyone in Delaware right now anyway because I’m too busy cutting my tongue on the place where the filling shaped like Delaware used to be. It would be wicked awesome if I did have Delaware in my tooth’s cavity, though, wouldn’t it?

I did manage to win $6 at poker a dime at a time.

In the not so distant past, there was a schism among the left-wing blogs I read and some became Hillary supporter hangouts and others were dominated by Obama.

Since one of the biggest lefty blogs is Daily Kos, the fights there were bitter until more and more supporters of Sen. Clinton began to post that they were leaving and weren’t coming back.

The remaining “Kossaks” mocked these letters as “GBCW” posts and began to archive them (Good Bye Cruel World).

In fact, for as long as I’ve been reading blogs — at least 10 years — people have been upset by the sharp back and forth and have written posts detailing their grievances and reasons for leaving never to return. They tend to become so overwrought and hyperbolic as to become objects of ridicule to those with a certain tendency to black humor and a soupcon of snark.

Such posts are not a big deal to me and I don’t often read them any more.

However, this Au Revoir, New York, is a doozy.
