Ante Meridiem Eye Openers-October 27, 2008CE

1) See, smart people may vote more often, but that's not the solution to the problem. The problem is that smart people are outnumbered 6 billion to 1 (rough estimates); no matter how many smart people vote, they will always be dominated by simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
Speaking of morons, it's hard to remember in this mixed up jumble of a world that shit still costs money. Well, for now it does. Once the economy collapses and the world is forced into a post-apocalyptic hell-world governed only by raw human emotions and local warlords, then the campaigns can just run roughshod over petty municipal requests for campaigns-related costs. So...2012??
Ah, Hollywood, you harbinger of things to come. Will a President Barack Obama be a Tom Beck, or a Dwayne "Macho" Camacho? Only time will tell...

2) You know, the economy sucks, and crime is high. The democrats are going to steal all of your money, and the republicans are going to start a holy war in Iran. The Cubs will never win, and Dane Cook has a job. But at least we don't live in Columbia.

3) The Philadelphia Phillies of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania are poised to bring Philadelphia, Pennsylvania it's first major sports championship since 1983, after taking a 3 games to 1 game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays of St. Petersburg, Florida. Let's find out tonight, together.
So it's a regular "there's always next year" kinda year, with the Cubs shitting the bed, and the QB situation at LSU making winning games a longshot hope, rather than a rock-solid certainty. But Texas is in the catbird's seat, assuming they can defeat the highflying Red Raiders of Texas Tech. Then Alabama beats the Longhorns and we have 3 SEC national champions in a row and the world bows to our southern superiority. But not in manufacturing or infrastructure. We all know those have never been our strong points.
The 49ers still suck. You know how I know that? Because the Seahawks blow goats and they beat San Fransisco. That's how I know. Wanna know what else I know? Mike Singletary is still a badass. Singletary is such a cool customer, that if he were in a bearsuit, I don't think I could even find it in me to laugh. It would just be so...right.

4) DORK ALERT!! The usual science update I include most days and taken on a decidedly "really" feel this morning, as scientists speculate that the star which is commonly assumed to be the home sun for the planet Vulcan could support life if such a planet existed. Vulcan. Cancer and AIDS are living in your Cheerios and they are looking for Vulcan...

5) This story really just gives me the excuse to post one of my favorite funny stickers or whatever of all time. You rarely see something truly funny on a t-shirt, but this one makes me laugh every time.

Well, that's about it. It's like Jack Tatum said: "I don't care who gets in my way--my mother, my grandmother, my daughter: I'll knock each and every one of them on their ass."
