Alien trees...

So I'm a little freaked out by the state of the world right now - war, terrorism, global warming, Republicans running amok, snakes on planes... It's all just too much.

How do I handle it? I surf the internet, watch Project Runway, and take naps. Nothing like an informed, involved citizenry...

I watched a little bit of Kathy Griffin at lunch today. I know she's catty and obnoxious, but she just cracks me up. Today she was talking about high school and how horrible it was. She said she didn't understand people who said they loved high school. "If you loved high school, you must have been one of the mean assholes who tortured me."

Hey Colleen, looks like the Kansas school board has itself a new scientific controversy. Evolution, gravity... those evil scientists are always trying to force their agenda on our innocent children.

Did I already post this link to World Jump Day? On Thursday, everybody needs to jump at the same time. This will push the Earth into a new orbit and reduce global warming. Reminds me of the Paint the Moon project.

Oh, and lastly, check out Stephen Colbert's commencement address to the 2006 graduates of Knox College. It's funny and surprisingly inspirational.
