I hope Keith Olbermann finally snaps. He pours gasoline over himself and lights himself on fire, then I ROAST MARSHMELLOWS OVER HIS FLAMMING CORPSE!!

It's spelled, "final" Whozit.

Can I wish for Firefly to come back? If not, then world peace.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Lottery money. Ennis House in Los Angeles is on the market. So is Elrod House. And Howe House. All designed by Frank Lloyd Wright or students of his. And all are selling for about half what they last sold for.

You might recognize Ennis House from Seasons 2 & 3 of Buffy; it was the house Angel lived in. Very dark, very mausoleum-like. Not really pretty, but striking. It was also seen as Rick Deckard's house in "Blade Runner", among a number of other movies (the original "House on Haunted Hill", for instance)

Elrod House was seen in the James Bond movie "Diamonds Are Forever".

Then there's Schindler's How House.

I'll take 'em all, please. :)

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that.

Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama:
Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

Fracking could be banned, as well as MTR and other radical mining, deforestation, overfishing etc.

Failing any world changes, maybe I can make a heap of cash on christmas sales.

ETA: I remember Deckard living in a barren apartment. clip?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

That people would suddenly wake up with a shitload more insight, intelligence, and empathy.

Failing that... health for the family, a miraculous improvement for our daughter, finding a good country to retire to, enough money to live comfortably until we die, ability to change the world for the better, good fortune for all my firefly friends...

Oh heck.

Whirled peas.

Images. Lots.

Note the pattern in the concrete blocks.

Yes, the movie made it look like a barren, dingy cubicle of an apartment. And it was once considered the height of luxury - as was the Bradbury Building, another main set piece of the movie. Guess it just goes to show that yesterday's glamour is tomorrow's ghetto, eh? I think that was purely intentional on the part of Ridley Scott, how we are building our world on the collapsed fantasies of our past. Welcome to all of yesterday's tomorrows.

Mike,

Are you sure that's Deckard's and not Rachael's?

Sig,

They already are. It's all in how you picture them.

I wondered who put Finale in there, I thought it was an end times joke.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

I guess whirled peas. I have no hope of anything else. But what do I DREAM of? A better world, in every way. Mostly that means environmentally, and politically--although to get that, people would have to evolve. I rarely dream of that.

There are far better goals than peace and far worse nightmares than war.

If I were to wish for anything, it would be better war. The senseless loss of human life, the blatant disregard for the environment and the financial debt traps that make nations into slaves, these are why to hate war. But sometimes, someone is very very wrong, and the people must oppose it. In the future, may they be able to do so with minimal damage, but may they still be able to do so.

ETA: for frem, even if you remove the tides, the waves will still crash on the shore. The ideas of men are not forgotten just because the men themselves do not endure. But if it's to be done right, you better not miss a target, because the beast will become stronger and more defensive.

You know I prefer my solutions to by more grounded in perception, and I see conflict as a liability, and indeed, fuel for the fire.
