Toxic Waste

OK, so here's the thing. If there's, like a whole lot of toxic waste in a huge explosion in the Jersey tunnel, you gotta blow the goddamn tunnel shut, man.

For the love of god, man. Like even if there are people there, man.

Which reminds me, I saw a man on the subway today and he had this hat that said, like, ""What the FUCK!".

So of course I said to him, "Young man, you appear to be wearing a hat that says "FUCK"". Not sure he got my sarcastic tone. In fact his attitude in response was somewhat reminiscent of Bruce Willis' aggresive neighbour in the fifth element, until I could calm him down. (Gotta remember to watch out for crazies on the subway huh).

Uh anyway... seeing his hat got me thinking about my own idea for a baseball cap of the "FDNY" variety that sprouted up everywhere especially after 911.

It would have "WSNY" on the front and "We wash away the blood" on the back. Funny huh? Not that there was much blood.

Now of course, never mind who washes the blood, the real question is "who washes the water? Hmm? Huh?

The goddamn WSNY ? You think they can do that ?

No man.

You can always wash away the blood, man, but who washes the goddamn water man, who does that?

Think about it.

China

China is waaay more important than Oil.

Please understand, I am speaking here in terms of what is important to those demented "We're gonna take over the whole freaking world" folks that seem to be in the Administration, at present.

I'm gonna call this my "CIMTO" theory. That is, as opposed to the "IATO" or "Its All About the Oil Stupid" theory, which is sometimes (given how laughingly ridiculous the "offical" theory one is) posited as the real reason behind the Iraq war.

Total change of subject, but I just got to the exploding tunnel fireball scene in "Daylight". Holy moly thats intense. Is that a good movie or what !

Daylight

is a great movie. Cockroaches, Toxic Waste -- ahh New York. It even includes a line involving "Mr Thompson, we regret to inform you that..".

Which is right about where I got to before I started writing this blog. I'll let you know how it goes.

Wesley Clark is *not* Ramsey Clark

OK I'm going to publically admit it. When retired general Wesley Clark first announced for President, I had him confused with retired (US Attorney) general Ramsey Clark.

I admit it. Now I've got it sorted it out.

My only excuse was that Wesley Clark was all over CNN, whilst Ramsey Clark was all over Democracy Now and owing to my lack of attention to the former I kinda, uh.. oh never mind! If *you* need help keeping it straight, just remember - Wesley = Weasel, Ramsey = Tireless campaigner to end sanctions in iraq and defender of the rights of Iraqi children.

Protests in Turkey about big bomb

The following two quotes are from Reuters ‘alertnet’ story of protests in Turkey:

Turks gather to condemn attacks, blame U.S. policy

... "We know who the murderers are," said a caption on one placard, below pictures of U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

... "I believe these attacks carry the fingerprints of the CIA, Mossad and (Turkish intelligence service) MIT. They want to push Turkey and America closer together after recent tensions between them," said 22-year-old engineering student Mustafa Colak.

The only thing is, what if they’re, like ‘right’ ? Hmm.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander, and “I won’t laugh your conspiracy theory out of the house, if you won’t mine” and all that .. hmm ?
