“Elegant, Responsive, Smart. A new mode of transport” …for hipster douchebags

Reminding me how much I hate (well, some) people:
Utterly unsurprising: footage of the People’s Republic of Cambridge masquerading as Copenhagen.
Anybody remember just getting on a bike and fucking going somewhere?
I’ve got a nice Intel Inside-type tag line for all efforts like this: “Powered by Pretension”.
YOU’RE WELCOME.

What’s better than blowing up sandcastles?

Running the footage backwards, of course.
I pledge allegance to the flag and to the bannana republic for which it stands

Krauthammer, on the latest from the Failed Obama Adminitration™ :
The reason that there is this huge increase in the debt ceiling today is that it gets us past Election Day next year, so you won’t have to have another raise of the limit until after Election Day. … Better to take the political hit now [...]

Apparently we aren’t quite a post-racist society yet. First, African Americans vote en masse for Obama – imagine the furor that would have resulted if only 10% of whites had voted for him? It would have been seen as positive proof of American perfidy, and we’d be hearing about it for generations, especially from societies [...]

@fireland:
1933: My grandfather kills a stag with his bare hands. 2009: I eat a whole thing of cookie dough and fall asleep on the toilet.
I can’t remember if I’ve blogged about him before, but man – Joshua Green Allen is funny!

Conservatives Now Outnumber Liberals in All 50 States, Says Gallup Poll:
Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll. At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.

Movie synopsis that doesn’t make much sense

Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie (The Saragossa Manuscript?):
In the Napoleonic wars, an officer finds an old book that relates his grandfather’s story, Alfons van Worden, captain in the Walloon guard. A man of honor and courage, he seeks the shortest route through the Sierra Morena. At an inn, the Venta Quemada, he sups with two Islamic [...]
Colour on the Thames (1935)
February 11, 2009 – 7:45 pm
BFIfilms:
This film is tricky to describe: is it a boat study, a film-poem, an experiment, a picture postcard? One thing is certain: it’s a rare colour snapshot of the Thames and London in the 1930s – and it looks quite magical.
Its artistic qualities may look a bit old-fashioned to us today; the slow pace, orchestral [...]

Lifted again – whoo-hoo!
Why, it’s almost as good as smacking TJIC in the face with a frilly white glove, in front of all the Court hangers-on.
Google Earth looks very cool
