Quotent Quotable

“I was just having this conversation with Wendy. I like everything in pesto, but I just don’t like pesto.”

Tim Burton meets Back to the Future

Tim Burton movies have Back to the Future archetypes. In fact,
I think BttF II could very well have been directed by Tim Burton. You put the BttF trilogy in
a blender, and you get a delicious Burton smoothie with a hero named Edward.

The point? None here. Sorry.

Quotent Quotable

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you
want to test a man’s character, give him power. — Abraham Lincoln.

You’ve probably read that quote before, but it is my sincere conviction that it kicks ass.

Condi and Bush are in love

They are. Tell everybody you
heard it here first.

• They’re both athletic, reasonably young,
  reasonably aesthetic people. She’s never been
  married, and he’s never been married to a
  mammal.
• They disappear on secret 37-hour flights
  to exotic middle eastern locations without
  telling anyone.
• He’s in a position of power, regardless
  of whether he exerts any. She’s tall and
  exotic and can explain things to him.
• They stand just a little too close. They
  stare just a little too long. Seriously, they
  always sit or stand together but look
  separate ways — a deadly accurate sign of
  shenanigans!
• Anyone whose soul is so dead that they
  run on a track for recreation is certainly
  open to extramarital.

“Condoleezza” is hard to spell. I like to
think I`m a pretty good speller,
but I had to cut and paste this one in the end.

Peak Oil

I can’t get into it right now. Google “Peak Oil” and read for yourself.

Everybody knows we’re going to run out of oil altogether in 50 years, right? But that
means we’ve still got plenty of time to convert to other fuels before the bottom drops out
and society collapses, right?

Actually, we’re going to run out of oil we can afford a lot sooner than that — within 20 years.
And all the predictions these guys made in 2000 are coming true.
