The British Can Spot a Racist Lightyears Away

The National Children's Bureau released a huge document detailing how to recognize developing racism in children and what to do when its exhibited. For example, a child who, when given a foreign food, declares "Yuck!" he may very well be inclined to racism. Presumably, if the child spits out a bit of lamb with the same retort he's a perfectly normal British citizen. Oddly, being able to recognize black from white may very well be a child who will one day begin labeling those of the opposite color as less than themselves. Seriously Britain, why do you pay these people?

Politics and Religion

Gus Booth is correct, he does have the right to freely preach politics from his pulpit. However, Gus Booth, the government has waived its right to tax your earnings in agreement for your silence concerning politics. Because you've abandoned your end of the bargain, the IRS will be knocking on your door soon enough.

Thank you, Gus. Churches have been immune to taxation long enough. May you enjoy your new found job in politics.

There once was a june bug until I crushed it.

If you haven't seen the movie Juno, you're missing out on one of the smartest comedies to come out since Little Miss Sunshine. See it.

All things NiN

Yes, I have had problems downloading it. But then, 36 tracks cost me 5 bucks. 5 bucks! If only more bands had the clout Trent Reznor does. By clout I mean money and fans. Then, there would be no more RIAA and I would be one happy music junky forever and ever.

Oh, and the first few tracks (which I have somehow gotten ahold of) are pretty amazing.

I won a Darwin Award in my other life.

If you thought Office Space was a brilliantly insightful look at cubicle life, then its time for you to head to wherever you buy/rent your movies, because Mike Judge's newest film takes a good, hard look at the pitfalls of humanity overcoming natural selection mixed in with a bit too much television. The movie stars Luke Wilson as the average Joe (who's actually the smartest man on the planet) and Dax Shepard as one of the most humorous lawyers you'll ever meet.

Idiocracy lasted moments in the theater, but it is sure to become another cult classic on DVD just as Office Space did. Yes, the human race deserves to be made fun of and Mike Judge is pretty damn good at making sure this feat is accomplished.

Don't die

I am but the firefly.

Oddly, one of the most heartwarming stories in movie cinema is also one of my new favorites. Little Miss Sunshine is a brilliant movie. Every character shines.

Greg Kinnear plays a man obsessed with winning, and has a nine step program for you to always win. Steve Carell is a gay Proust scholar who just before the start of the movie attempted suicide. Toni Collette is the mother almost pushed to the edge by her "must win" husband, heroin addicted father-in-law, and a son who hasn't spoken in nine months.Paul Dano is the afore mentioned son - a follow of Nihilism who aptly writes "I hate everyone." Abigail Breslin is the reason for the title of the movie - with a twist of fate, she was chosen to represent her area in the Little Miss Sunshine competition. One look at her, and you'll know she isn't model material. Finally, Alan Arkin plays grandfather, addicted to heroin and recently kicked out of his retirement home.

Stuff all of them into a van which slowly falls apart around them, and you have one of the most dysfunctional families on the oddest road trip ever. Its a must see.

Don't die.

Never buy used - you never know exactly what they happened to be using it for.

I created a new blog and comic strip. Yes. King munkey in his very own comic!

Don't die.
