McDonald's hit with lawsuit over fat in french fries

You see back in September 2002 McDonalds announced that it was planning to switch to a healthier fry oil by Feb '03. In Feb '03 they announced that the new oil wasn't happening yet because it made the fries taste like Burger King's as there were concerns over how it made the food taste.

Now a fucknut in California is suing because McDonalds didn't follow their original plan. A corporation in America made a plan, discovered it wasn't workable and changed it. This bitch thinks that entitles her to compensation? What the fucking fuck?

Listen up you fry sucking loser, McDonalds corporation is not personally beholden to you in any way whatsoever. Are you suing Ford because their concept car from 2002 isn't a production model today? Why not? They certainly planned on implementing it but they haven't. That should mean that your rights have somehow been trampled, right?

If you are so concerned about the fat content of McDonalds french fries that you take it as a violation of your personal rights of citizenship then what you need to do is put down the McBurger and McFries, push your fat ass away from the table and walk down to Salads-R-Us. Better yet, buy yourself a fucking pot and cook a meal for your damned self for a change.

And whatever lawyer or group of lawyers is representing this bullshit should die. Literally die you sons of bitches - you are less than worthless, you are an active drain. Your removal would make this country a better place.

1 "Literally die you sons of bitches - you are less than worthless, you are an active drain." -Looks like someone needs a time-out in the happy corner, with a constant movie re-run of "Pollyanna Meets the Care Bears". Be honest, my dearie Jim-you're just angry you didn't think to sue Coke for inventing New Coke (just teasing...in case you got angry...back away slowly from the keyboard...)

Posted by: Helen at July 09, 2004 09:05 AM (6ESZh)

2 Heck, I could still sue over THAT! Post traumatic stress disorder right here. Plus, I get a tiny tic next to my eye whenever I drive past the Coke factory here. I could probably sue to make them at least move the factory.

3 It can't be good for you to hold your feelings back like this.

Posted by: Jennifer at July 09, 2004 09:42 AM (9idqe)

4 Really, Jim, Jennifer is right. Don't hold back. It's not good for you to keep it all in. You're going to give yourself a ulcer. You have to learn to express your feelings. Emote, young man, emote!

Posted by: Jiminy at July 09, 2004 10:00 AM (8JYcU)

5 Jim, I mean this in the nicest possible way, ok? I just feel like I have to tell you: there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that taste just as good as the real thing. (Bonus points if you recognize the movie I stole that line from). As for the fries, I must ask: is your anger motivated by a distaste for the tort system in general or are you, like me, on a low-carb diet and missing ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL FRENCH FRIES? And, damn it, whoever told McDonald's to stop frying those things in beef fat? The fries have not been the same since.

6 Dude, that movie was the fabulous and brilliant one with Val Kilmer, in which they popped the enormous Jiffy Pop. Can't remember the film, but I have used that line about one million times in my life. Creepy that you use it, too.

Posted by: Helen at July 09, 2004 11:22 AM (rhmrH)

7 And the prize goes to Helen for her recollection of the underappreciated film: Real Genius.

Posted by: Random Penseur at July 09, 2004 11:50 AM (LlPKh)

8 I'm feeling much better, y'all. Prozac, it's what's for dinner. ;-) Dang, I was just about to hit "post" with the Real Genius answer too. My favorite bit from that movie: Val: So, if there's anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know. Hot chick: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis? Val: Not at the moment. Hot chick: A girl's gotta have her standards.

Posted by: Jim at July 09, 2004 11:58 AM (IOwam)

9 Let's give medical science a quick round of applause! I love that line from Real Genius. I also like the following question: "Do you ever have that dream where you're standing on a pyramid, in sun god robes, surrounded by thousands of naked, screaming women, throwing little pickles at you? Why am I the only one who has that dream?" and "I am sitting here contemplating the last words of Socrates: 'I drank what?'" I knew you and Helen were people with taste.

Posted by: Random Penseur at July 09, 2004 12:21 PM (LlPKh)

10 Almost forgot - yeah, I have a dislike of tort law. I know the vast majority of it is not like these bullfull high profile jokes but they sure are tainted by them. And I luuuuuuurve McD's fries. Fortunately for me I can eat 'em as I'm not dieting or planning on suing anybody. ;-)

Posted by: Jim at July 09, 2004 12:39 PM (IOwam)

11 I love love love McDonald's fries. I think they're coated in some secret recipe foody crack substance. Bugger those who file frivilous lawsuits, particularly against things that make me happy. Bugger them with a bushel of stale fries! Man, I like that word.... bugger bugger bugger.

What was my first blog called? 5 points for the first person with the correct answer (and no searching). A handful of bonus points also available for especially vulgar humorous guesses.

Um...no. Nobody got it yet and I think I see why. Back a few months ago if you Googled "Jim Peacock's first blog" it was in the top 10. That doesn't work any more. In fact, if I didn't know where this thing was I don't think I could find it now either. I'm raising the reward to 10 points and opening it up to searching however you want.

Just a note - we're looking for the name of the blog, not the URL. As an example, this blog is Snooze Button Dreams, not www.snoozebuttondreams.com.

Finally, there are a handful of folks that get a point each for answers that made me smile:

DeAnna: Snooze Button Queens (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

Jen: An Udder Blog (References to my cow sucking picture get extra points for the nostalgia factor)

Jen (again): glennreynoldsismybitch.blogspot.com (Oh-freakin-yeah, baby)

Claire: spamload.blogspot.com ("Spamload" would be an excellent name for a heavy metal group)

I'll still hand out points for these types. Hey, we can use all the humor we can get, right?

17 I know I am too late and I have nothing at all humorous to add, but like SImon, I thought it had something to do with Smurfs. Wasn't it something about choking them?

Posted by: Helen at July 08, 2004 06:03 AM (Ih7rj)

18 Wow, Simon and Helen have memories of the Gods. The Smurf thing was from one of my very first posts and has to do with how I met Lovely Wife. Of course that's not the right answer for this trivia question but if it was, boy would you guys have nailed it!

Posted by: Helen at July 08, 2004 03:35 PM (fZQxB)

23 I'm glad Jim's finally realised we are Gods. I fully expect an altar to both of us some time soon. As for this first name, I've now wasted 20 goddamn minutes and still no luck. Maybe it was: suckacowudderuntilasmurfturnsblue.blogspot.com but I've passed the point of caring. Now WHERE'S OUR ALTAR?????

Posted by: Simon at July 09, 2004 12:22 AM (OyeEA)

24 Sh!t but it just hit me that I know what it is... I recall you once had a discussion with Emma and your first blog was Apropos of Nothing and you were Sir Apropos. Here's the proof. Fuck I'm good. You'd better make that one mother of an alter. Helen can be my high priestess...she'll have some very special duties to perform. Bhuhahahahahahahahahha

Posted by: Helen at July 09, 2004 05:41 AM (0os5y)

26 That's it! Simon is truly a Snoozegod. We shall have to work up a caricature for him along the lines of Snoozebob. The corpse of Apropos of Nothing may still be viewed. Longest wake I've ever heard of. All the points are belong to Simon.

Clarice Starling: And they were screaming. Hannibal Lecter: And you ran away? Clarice Starling: No. First I tried to free them. I-I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run. Hannibal Lecter: But you could and you did, didn't you? Clarice Starling: Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could. Hannibal Lecter: Where were you going, Clarice? Clarice Starling: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it wasvery cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but - he was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman. I never saw the ranch again. Hannibal Lecter: What became of your lamb, Clarice? Clarice Starling: They killed him.

There are a bunch of new faces in the ol' blogroll. Some are shiny new and others are long overdue. I've been terribly lax about updating this thing. As recompense for my near-malicious negligence these newcomers get a special introduction here instead of the normal stealthy addition I typically use.

Bloviating Inanities - Sorry, Bill. This link should have been up there many moons ago. It got missed somehow (probably my subconcious at work).

It's All About De - DeAnna was one of my first readers and one of the first blogs on my blogroll. Somehow she got dropped (I think it was when we moved her to Munuviana). That's not really important right now. What's important is she just had a terrible loss. Would y'all take a minute to drop by her place and offer condolences? Thanks, I appreciate it.

Memeblog - Stay tuned for all of your meme needs. Hurry please, it's getting a bit weak from lack of participation.

New Blog Showcase - Now this one is going strong! This blog lets new bloggers showcase a bit of their best for the enjoyment of all.

Precinct 333 - Writen by Texas Teacher, a long-time commenter at my serious blog ZeroIntelligence.net. Well written and topical, poli/educational for the most part.

Random Penseés - Found from tracking back comments or maybe from the New Blog Showcase. Fantastic mad writing skillz. Talk about erudite - if I could write half as well...

Where the Dolphins Play - Found this one through Texas Teacher's blog. Hey, if a liberal writer can get on Precinct 333's blogroll that's good enough for me. Who am I kidding? Of course that's not enough for me. But after reading this for a couple weeks the Dolphin definitely passes the SBD Blogroll Getin On Challenge.

Willow Tree - I tracked back Rachel Ann from comments and then promptly forgot about her (gimme a break, I been distracted lately!). She politely reminded me and even went so far as to turn on her syndication feed just for me. You just can't beat service like that!

1 Oh, my goodness. Thank you very much for your terribly kind words. I just stopped by to see what you were up to and found this. I'm a little surprised, but very grateful. Encouragement like this is rare but keeps me writing. I think I'm blushing. Thanks again!

5 Ok, now I will blush. Also, thanks for seconding my nomination over at mu.nu. I'm deeply appreciative!

6 Many thanks for the mention and the praise. I'm trying to getPrecinct 333 running with some serious hits before school starts, but two weeks of jury duty is putting a crimp in that.

The default submission email address for the Bestofme Symphony (bestofme@jpeacock.net) has been shut down. If you mail to it you'll get an auto reply saying that submissions can't be taken at that address anymore. Basically it's been getting to an unhandleable (is that a real word?) spam load (that sounds vaguely dirty, doesn't it? "spam load". i like it). It started getting viruses. Today it started receiving regular targeted attacks from an email server somewhere out there. It was past time to put that old submission address out of its misery.

From this point forward the submissions for a particular week will go to the email address that the host specifies. For this week they should go to gcruse at netscape dot com. The submission address will be sent out in the Bestofme Reminder mailings. I recommend that you join the list if you haven't already so you won't miss where to send your submissions.

Now for the really big announcement:

The Bestofme Symphony is Moving

This is unrelated to the item above. I've been too busy to give the Symphony the attention it deserves. I've neglected to get reminder emails out several times, most notably the past two weeks in a row. I've just got too much going on at the moment.

Fortunately for the Symphony (and all y'all) Gary Cruse has agreed to take custody. Y'all know Gary from his blog The Owner's Manual and from the many Symphonies that he has hosted. In fact, I think he's posted more than I have at this point.

I'll be cleaning up Symphony posts here to point over to Gary's place. Please help me to spread the word about the move as well as the new submission method.

Next week's post extravaganza will be hosted by The Owner's Manual.

Submit to the Symphony: Want to be a part of next week's edition? Check out this post for submission help. Entries should always be sent to bestofme@jpeacock.net regardless of who the Symphony host is.

Spread the word: Webloggers, how about some linky love? Just think of how happy your readers would be if you gave them a path to such a wonderful reading selection.

Email Reminders: If you'd like to be sent a reminder about the Symphony, join the mailing list. There's one email sent on Thursday or Friday to remind you to submit for the next Symphony and one on Monday with the location of the newly posted Symphony.

Due to the special holiday schedule (i.e. because your dumbass Symphony coordinator neglected yet again to put the reminder up) the Bestofme Symphony will be posted tomorrow instead of today.

Take advantage of this extra day to send in those submissions. Send them to bestofme@jpeacock.net and they'll be in Tomorrow's edition at WetWired.

The only requirements are that you think the post is good and that it be at least 2 months old. It doesn't even have to be from your own blog. It just can't get any simpler!

We got a bunch of new contacts that just got their premier emails today. They're pretty standard so have all recieved the basic first contact mail (with fine print disclaimer of course).

From: Magsz

Hmmm... Where do i start? With the truth> My ride is a big time Hooptie!!ha
I really enjoy watching the show and my friends and family are always making fun of my ride. The running joke is i should get my ride on your show or leave it on the street. ha ha ha I have a white 92 Nissan Pathfinder. Its pretty banged up in regards to the body and the insides could use some work BUT i love that i dont have a car note. This is too funny but here it goes... My door on the drivers side is falling off. The head light is broken and hanging off but i tape on it. My leather seats have holes and the middle thing you put stuff in is broken. It gets worst-etc etc... and yes its a little embarrassing> okay alot embarrassing.. My friends all have nice cars and they think i should get a new car because im expecting a child. I thought it would be fun to get my special hooptie pimped because she's been good to me... Peace and Love
Magalye

Mags sounds like she's got a sense of humor. I like that. Plus, she's expecting so she'll have that special glow. Send us a picture, Magalye! more...

His name is Les and lives in Purdon, Tx. Many years ago he lost his oldest son David who would now be 45 as of yesterday. David served in the Army for 5 yrs but before he was shipped out he bought his dad a 1949 chevy coupe 2 door for fathers day . He had been gone for 5 yrs and then shippped to Germany for 2 yrs. After finially getting to come home . His turned 22 the day he came home .They had a horse and David and Les and there other brothers were out riding there horse when the horse acted up . Les told one of the boys to get off of the horse . And well David got on and the horse threw him and put david in coma 3 days later he died.His father still has the car .A tree fell on it and its never been driven its all rusted out and if i could have a choice mine or his car to be pimped out i would choose his. This is the only thing he has to keep his son alive in him. So please pimp his ride. He deserves it.

7 I really need my car pimped. I love it too much and I think its on its way to its deathbed. I have a 1993 Pontiac Grand AM Quad 4 HO, 100,000 miles that has had a ton of problems, especially a lot of brake problems that I just can't afford to fix (sometimes its hard to stop the car!!!!). The engine tends to stall out on hills and for some reason just started rattling while running idle. The transmission also shifts really hard and when it goes from park to drive, it sounds like the damn thing is just gonna fall out. The exterior is ok except the crappy paint job is starting to fall off. On the inside, the dashboard is cracked, rattles like crazy, and the seats are soooooo uncomfortable with someone who has a serious back problem like mine. Not in my budget to buy a new car, but this car has such potential to be like brand new, but i need the help!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE MTV, PIMP MY RIDE!!!!!!!!!

10 Dear MTV, I am writting in hopes of your help! I have a ride that desperatly needs attention. Actually it's my husbands car and he is currently deployed in Kuwait fighting for our countries freedom. I have to drive this "wanna be gadget mobile "(94 Ford probe). The roof leaks, the windows leak, the car stalls, and the muffler sounds like a diesel engine. I would like to surprise my husband when he returns home at the end of October with a BRAND NEW PIMPED RIDE. Please let me know if you will be able to assist me in this matter. Sincerely, Distraught wife Lenee' Henry

13 I am writing on behalf of the students in the CBI class of Pittsburg. This is a special education class for adults, age 18 - 21 yrs of age. They found your web site on the computer and ask me to help them help me. My car is a 1989 dodge aries.The students think it is ugly, outdated and disgusting. I don't have a cd player, radio plays when it wants too which is rare. Doors get jammed, air condition not working, windows are hard to roll down. The color is white with peelin pain. They say it's just plain ugly. Interior could stand some work. How about a overhaul look on the front end? Maybe the back bumper too uh? Pretty please pimp her rideeeeeee - Jose, Reggie, and all of us.

23 Dear X, Hi my name is Janika, I am 19 years old 5 foot 2 105lbs and I am from Berkeley CA. I have a 1985 4 door chevy thats about the same age as me. but I love it because it was given to me by my grandpa when I graduated from Berkeley High school in June 2003.My grandpa can't drive anymore due to his old age but it has helped me out so much and it's better then the bus but it needs help.If only it had more shine insted of rust .My car was'nt new when I got it but the only thing I really know about cars is where to put the gas and water. The pas. set is broken it's held up with a log. The back door needs tobe opened before you can open the front door too. On my side I have to leave the window down to open my door from the inside. The car was blue at first, but it has turned in rust and the hole inside is broken with no heat or music.When it rains I get all wet because the inte needs so much help. I would love you to come to my rescue and Pimp My Ride please!!!. Even thought I don't know anything about how to fix on cars I'm sure that you and the guys from West Cost would hook it up like the nice cars that I see on MTV come outthe shop every time.It's because everyone puts that special touch to make the cars go Bling down the street. I really want this because I will be starting school in the spring and I would love to be the only girl in Berkeley to have a Pimped Out Ride and also because I want to take my 87 year old grandpa for a ride in it when it's all clean and in better shape then when I got it. I think that would make him happy because with the same love that he gave the car to me, I will send my love right back by getting through college and I will have a better chance of making it back and forth everyday knowing that you Pimped my car for me and That is a true dream.Please come find me and my gramps in Berkeley we will be waiting for you so hope to see you at my door someday soon. O and If my grandpa answers the door he may not know who you are so you may have to grab a set and chat for a while for him to Understand the true meaning of A PIMPED OUT RIDE but I will let him know you will be comming I just hope he remembers.I am sure you will have a good time and also anytime you hear Berkeley you will think of us and how much you helped by doing this for me I will be ready in full body, mind, and car for this big step I will be taking for the next 4 years+ in college.Thank You sooooo much and I can't wait to meet you in person.

25 HEY THIS IS THE ST LOUIS SENDING OUT A PLEA TO COME AND PIMP A RIDE FOR SOMEONE WHO NOT ONLY DESIRES IT BUT IS ALSO LONG OVER DUE FOR IT. MY SON AND I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO COME AND PIMP MY 93 JEEP FOR THEIR POPS. WE BOUGHT THE JEEP ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY SON AND ME WERE IN A CARE ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED MY CAR AND WE COULD NOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR NOTE AT THAT TIME. BECAUSE WE ONLY HAD ONE CAR BETWEEN THE TWO OF US THE JEEP GOT RAN INTO THE GROUND BUT IT DID GET US FROM POINT A TO POINT B WITH A FEW STALLS IN BETWEEN. IT IS NOT THE WORST LOOKING CAR BUT NOT VERY DEPENDABLE BECAUSE OF MINOR WORK THAT WE CAN NOT AFFORD BECAUSE ALEX(THEIR POPS) IS HOLDING DOWN ALL THE BILL TO ALLOW ME TO GO TO SCHOOL FULLTIME FOR MY TEACHING DEGREE. THE JEEP IS ALSO NOT THE BEST LOOKING THING IN APPEARANCE AND I AM SURE IT WOULD LOVE A LITTLE ATTENTION. WHEN WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER CAR EVENTHOUGH ALEX WANTED ANOTHER JEEP HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST THAT WE GET A CAR TO SUIT MY NEED FIRST MAKE AND DUE WITH THE JEEP. I NOT TRYING TO MAKE THIS ANOTHER SAD STORY I JUST WANT TO SEE IF YOU COULD GIVE A GOOD BROTHER A BREAK AND I FEEL THIS WOULD SHOW THAT GOOD THINGS DO COME TO GOOD PEOPLE SOME. EVENTHOUGH HE IS STRAPPED FOR CASH HE STILL FIND TIME TO COACH AND HELP MANY OF HIS PLAYER WITH SOME OF THE FEES, DUES AND OTHER THING FOR HIS TEAM INSTEAD OF USING THE MONEY FOR HIMSELF. I JUST WANT TO ASK IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN THE STL AND NEED TO PIMP A RIDE STOP HERE FIRST

26 What up X. Check it out. I have A 1991 Caprice Classic police car. It still has the cage in the back, spot lights, push bar, and numbers on top. the interior is pretty much destroyed from when the radio equipment was taken, Damaged door panels, tore up head liner, and the hard ass back seat... well it dosent even have that because it was a K9 unit. The clear coat is flaking off the hood and doors, the back doors open from the outside only. When I bought the car 2 years ago it only ran for 4 days. The tranny blew up. I am currently putting a new tranny into the car and I can barley afford that. I am trying to get it fuctional again so my girl friend can use it but she dosent like the cop car look of it. People tend to drive the speed limit or under when you get behind them. If you choose this ride to pimp you can do what ever the hell you want with it. I really dont have much to say about it because anything is an improvement, besides I think X crusing a cop car back to WCC would be funny as hell! Please MTV pimp my ride!

27 Hi I am not Entering for myself, I would like to do this for my husband. We have 3 children so at times money is tight but we have alot of love and always try to do nice things for each other. My husband is currently serving in the navy and is doing his duty over in iraq, we miss him so much, it is a bad place to be. I try to sit and think of what i can do for him when he returns home that would make him feel that we thank him and so many others for what they do. He keeps saying that he wants to pimp his car, my 12 year lod son and him look in magizines and he and i both know that it would be hard for him to actully get this done. so if you can make a wish come true for a wife who loves her solider ( my husband) please pimp my husbands ride!!!!!!!

My husband went crazy and I had to do it all by my lonesome. However I would like for you to pimp my ride because it is all I have for my kids. It is an 88'chevy astro van.It has oil leaks, the gas tank is messed up because of corrosion caused by salt in the roads in Minnessota ,the brake pipe is broken so my brakes from the back are gone, my windshield is cracked, the heater and air do not work,it is very dirty all over, and to top it all off about a month ago some lady crashed into me and messed up my sliding door.As you could tell my van needs alot of work. I could sit here and let you know my sad and hard life story but everyone has some bad expierence although this is not about my mishappens it is about having something secure for my kids. I just lost my job about a week ago can't pay my rent and I need some where I could have my family. Please if you hear my cry and you can help please feel free to help me pimp my childrens' ride. Sincerly, Vanessa Queen

This hit is a bit different from the rest. Instead of asking me to pimp his ride, Charlie's looking for me to hire him as a ride pimper.

From: Charlie

Hey Guys,

IÂ’m an ordinary car stereo installer from the east coast, (NJ) who moved out to CA for the ultimate dream, to be a custom car stereo installer. I just got done watching youÂ’re show MTV Pimp My Ride and decided to drop you guys a line. What do I have do loose right? Well everyone knows that the west coast is where itÂ’s at when it comes to custom. IÂ’ve been worken at national retail chains doing the regular deck slams (Boring) when I was back on the east coast Circuit City I went from being an installer to a manager in three years and all that was just a mess of paperwork and got away from what I was striven for being a custom installer. I know you guys are plenty busy and may even not read this e-mail but I would love to apprentice with your company I do a little custom work here and there but my area of expertise is in wiring electronics and security. I currently live about 3 hrs. north of la but am willing to relocate. Even if you do not have any openings but could drop be a line or two about the LA area and where if any is custom apprentice work may be needed in CA . Well thanks a lot for taken the time out of youÂ’re busy day to read this e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you soon Charlie

Now seeing as I'm due to be unemployed in a bit under a month I'm not willing to bank up on bad employment mojo at the moment. So instead of leading this fellow on I'll just go straight for the photo request. more...

I was one of those supremely irritating kids who never had to study in order to get A's and B's. I was a knowledge sponge who could absorb and regurgitate in the manner preferred by the US scholastic method and I did it without batting an eye. Whatever I didn't pick up in class was usually pretty easy to figure out or bullshit through. Until second year French anyway.

I didn't get French. It didn't just come to me the way math, science or history did. I didn't understand the rules for genders of words (What do you mean "dog" is female? It's got balls for Chrissake!) and I just didn't care to learn them. Verb tenses, weird spelling, variable pronouns, second person plural possessive¹...I hated it all. Because I was lazy and it didn't sort and file into the brain sponge like everything else did. Who needed French anyway? It would only be a few years until everybody who mattered was speaking English².

Well, as you can imagine I didn't apply myself to French and the results were fairly predictable. When I managed to pay attention in class I might squeak in a B or two but I was generally a C student in the Tongue of Love³. I suppose it was inevitable that the unthinkable would happen. I, Jim Peacock, knowledge sponge, achiever of the effortless A's and B's, I got a D on a test. My world shattered. more...

Neither did I and this is a good thing because 12.6 million people didn't march on Washington yesterday and if you heard about it that would mean that the press was doing a worse job than usual at making stuff up. They did march in Hong Kong though and you probably didn't hear about that either.

Not 12.6 million of course - they don't have that many people there. But the number of Hong Kong residents that rallied are proportional to 12.6 million Americans, if our populations were equivalent. Simon has the scoop and an excellent commentary about it.

Jenny Turpish thinks I'm a hippie. At least her 20 Questions to a Better Personality quiz seems to think so.

You are an SECF--Sober Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a hippie. You are passionate about your causes and steadfast in your commitments. Once you've made up your mind, no one can convince you otherwise. Your politics are left-leaning, and your lifestyle choices decidedly temperate and chaste.

You do tremendous work when focused, but usually you operate somewhat distracted. You blow hot and cold, and while you normally endeavor on the side of goodness and truth, you have a massive mean streak which is not to be taken lightly. You don't get mad, you get even.

Please don't get even with this web site.

I gotta seriously disagree about being a hippie. Sure I'm not opposed to the occasional toke o' the green but I haven't done that in many a year. Yeah, I prefer old t-shirts with holes in them and sweat pants cut down to shorts. But I do NOT wear Birkenstocks. My sandals are the seven dollar Wal-Mart variety.

She's wrong about the not getting mad part too. I do get mad. Then I get even.

Bwah hah hah hah hah!!!

Barbie dumped Ken and is now diddling Blaine, an Aussie surfer. Now look at this picture and tell me this doesn't look like a gal just a bit past her dance club days snagging some sweet teen meat.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
