Ice Storm

If you watch the news by now you've heard of the record breaking killer ice storm that's been taking down thousands of power lines, cutting off heating supplies and freezing assholes shut since Tuesday. I'm currently trapped in Elizabeth, Indiana(population: around 200) twenty-or-so miles southwest of Louisville, Kentucky. In other words, ground zero. Make that,  fourteen below ground zero. All roads are closed. No way in or out. More than a half million are without electricity in Kentucky alone. The Slugger factory is closed, so the tour is out which is what really makes the whole thing heartbreaking. So far, over 1.3 million from Ohio to Arkansas are powerless, and the death count is around 24 and rising. The White Witch has made Narnia winter always, Christmas never. I won't start worrying until the hot cocoa surplus runs dry and the North Face fails me. 

I took these last night.

Drinking the KoolAid

Perfectly normal. Perfectly healthy.

Welcome the Idiocracy.

The only thing worse for the freedom and personal liberty of American citizens than a Republican, is a Democrat. Add in the fact that this one is Halfrican American and the current generation is so hypnotarded by the empty promises of multicultural salvation and we've got a real doozy. Brace yourself for more bullshit this time you wouldn't dream of questioning, lest ye be labeled evil racist. The First Couple of Cool(ain't that some jive) can't save anyone from rising prices in fuel, food and water. Rising unemployment and violent crime or rising population and disease. HOPE that I'm wrong. 

I've seen plenty of cult-like brand loyalty to Barrak Hussain Obongo, but this one is pure fucking gold.

bird of prey.

Had a cup at Chuck's when Cisco-the-40-year-old-parrot showed up and tried to shit in my hot chocolate.



Cisco helped The Pile overcome his fear of birds.
