Hey hey everyone! Welcome back for another stimulating ride. Despite arguments to the contrary, I am now convinced that there are indeed crazier (some might say "stupid," but they're just unfriendly) people than me out there. Thank God for the Internet, because otherwise I might go through life thinking I'm in the minority when, really, I have all kinds of company in the "What Were They Thinking Club."
For instance, I read today on Wired News about an "artist" from Montreal (that's in Canada for all of you geographically challenged), by the name of Cesar Saez, who is planning to launch a 1000 foot banana shaped blimp into low Earth orbit (between 100,000 - 160,000 feet up) over Texas. Why would he do this, you ask? Well isn't it obvious? I really have to get some smarter readers. Anyway, he's attempting to make an artistic commentary on the absurdity of American politics; especially the politics in Texas. AND he figures it's only going to cost about $1,000,000 (what a deal!). A blog is way cheaper.
So here's what I'm thinking ... the only thing more absurd than American politics is some moron spending a million dollars on a banana blimp intended to demonstrate that American politics is absurd. Oh, but wait a second .... maybe he's not the dumbest afterall. Apparently, he's already gotten someone to contribute to his endeavour .... the Canada Council for the Arts has given him $15,000, demonstrating to me that they're even more absurd than the artist, who's more absurd than American politics. Are you following this? I have a question .... if it doesn't work for some reason and gets away from where they launch it or it explodes ... would that make it a banana split?
In related news (I mean about people going bananas), I heard today that Kelly Ripa will be getting a botox injection live on the show. Did Live with Regis and Kelly get moved to Fox (the How pathetic can we make it network)? I have nothing against botox or anything else a person wishes to do to themselves to make themselves happier, but come on ... on the show???? Have the ratings gotten that bad? Has the show run out of things to do or talk about? I don't want you to get me wrong though ... that's not actually the bananas part. If it's ratings they're after, they're actually quite smart ... because I suspect they'll get a whole bunch of nuts making a special trip to the remote for that one. I betcha Jerry Springer is going to kick himself about not thinking of that one first. By the way, why is Kelly getting it and not Regis?
Ok, that's all I can stand for one day; I'll pick you up again tomorrow. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the road ... there are alot of nuts out there ... and bananas ... Why do I feel like having a sundae now?
