Ante Meridiem Eye Openers-August 14, 2008CE

1) Julia Child and many, many others were part of the OSS, the precursor to the CIA during WW2. A ton of documents are being declassified from that era, and it's so awesome to know who was a super secret spy during that time. It's why I think Paris Hilton is a government agent who is brainwashed to activate when given the codeword: Dill Pickle Souffle. The Venture Brothers took the name of their spy agency, OSI, from the OSS, and their dress code from G.I. Joe. Now I was never into G.I. Joe, never seen an episode, but it all looks very homosexual if you know what I mean. Sodomy.

From the Venture Brothers:
2) Um, sure. OK. Listen, I'm not against births, per se, but I'm not exactly for them either. And I'm certainly not for crapping out babies on your own front lawn. It's not good for the baby. It's not good for the mother. But it's especially not good for that sweet, sweet St. Augustine bluegrass that your husband spent an entire weekend laying down last spring.
3) In sports, the Olympics continues with the Chinese dominating the world, but I'm sure, just like gymnastics, it's because they are cheating all over the goddamn place. And just so you know, they all have their panties in a wad because the Spanish basketball team made a boo-boo by purposefully making the slanty eye gesture with their fingers for a team photo. You would think that out of the 30 people there one of them would go, "Hey, how is this going to play with the 3 billion Asians in the world?" And of course the answer is not well because the interest groups have to get their say, and much like every other group, the Asian-American lobby talks out of its ass and makes no sense: "As Asian Pacific Americans support U.S. Olympic athletes, some of whom are Asian-American, it is disturbing to OCA that Spain's basketball team would introduce such divisive imagery into the Olympics," George C. Wu, deputy director in Washington of OCA said. So apparently it's the US Olympic teams fault that Spain did this?? Is there any way you could just say, "We don't agree with what the Spanish team did." without dragging every single American athlete and every single Asian American into the mix?
Oh and the Brewers are kicking ass all over the place, winning their 8th game in a row, but dropping to 3.5 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.
"No shit, Sherlock.", says everyone in the country, when Brett Favre said his arm was fatigued because he was 38. You know, Brett, some would say that's a good age to retire...
4) You don't need to read the article, because like the Britons, it is dry and fairly boring, but you have to click to see the accompanying picture. That seemed more like New Orleans than Bristol.
5) In entertainment, they have finally hit the motherlode. They have figured out a way to get ever more television into my brain. It's like if I was drinking a Fat Tire, eating s'mores and having sex with Marisa Miller all at the same time.
I'm planning on seeing Tropic Thunder tonight, so I will have a report tomorrow. It's looks great.
6) CNN reports on a great way to get some family time in when you are having trouble with your hectic schedule. And the BBC tells us of a regular Ohio guy (Ohioans are nuts, as a rule) who distrusts banks and paper money so he bought his new truck with coins. Right.
7) Blow your mind wide open.....wait for it.....wait for it.....NOW!!!!
Well, that's about it. It's like Brock Samson said: "Focus, Hank! Whatever you do, don't light a cigarette. A good sniper can see a hot cherry for miles."
