    Matty Hair to Hairy Mat

    It’s harder than I thought to donate my recently-shorn hair to the charity that turns hair and pet fur clippings into oil-spill booms. They require that you sign up first, then wait to be sent an address for shipping. And they really discourage individuals from donating; they prefer bulk shipments from salons and groomers. Meanwhile their storage facilities are getting backed up near the Gulf, as BP didn’t want to accept the donated booms. The hell? So maybe they’ll send straight to the Louisiana Wetlands people?

    Behold, The Incredible Farting Clogs!

    Just bought these at Lowe’s, after trying them on with socks. Without socks, every step makes a fart sound. Time to go fart around in the garden! Fartfartfartfartfartfartfartfartfartfartfart UPDATE: And so, I have finally committed shoe crime, not with ugly, yet trendy Crocs, but with ugly, unfashionable flatulent Sloggers ™.

I can only hope that the Utah electorate is smart enough to figure this out but… What am I thinking? With a dominant culture that discourages critical thinking, and an educational system that is very much a product of the culture, it’s likely that the next senator…

    President Obama rips BP, Transocean, Halliburton execs a new one. ‘Ridiculous spectacle’: Obama slams BP, Transocean over Gulf oil spill | McClatchy As for Tuesday’s testimony in which companies involved passed the blame for the spill, the president said, “I did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle during the congressional hearings into this matter. You had executives of B.P. and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else. The American people could not have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn’t.”
