JimmyC, maybe he was looking for a bit of liquor with his blood withdrawal and they didn't let him into Seattle's Drunk Dorms. So he figured the Union Gospel Mission would be the next best place to find a bunch of inebriates no one would miss.

So it's a Friday night and I'm browsing NRO and I'm directed to this piece by Michael Fumento providing strong evidence that James Sikes' out of control Toyota Prius story is a hoax. And I'm staring at that weird pic of Fumento, thinking, 'I've seen that face somewhere before. ... Let's see was it in a Chucky slasher pic? No ... The plastic face on a kids toy? No ...' Then it hit me. Michael Fumento is Surgeon General of Beverly Hills.

I have been watching THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE.

I think Nigel Hawthorne deserved the Best Actor Oscar over Tom Hanks.

That would have been the logical choice Scott, but then, I don’t think this guy was big on logic.

For those of you who (like me) were intrigued by the Reverend Horton Heat clip a while back, or if you’re just a gearhead into muscle cars, there is a great Iowahawk contribution on a rocket-assisted Galaxie 500 at Hawk’s site:

Dave Burge is consistently among the best in the satire department, but when he gets into something he loves, he’s every bit as sharp in his serious writing.

I liked the first half of Sunshine, JJ, but I hated the way it devolved in the second half into a gory slasher film. Talk about squandering your premise.

As if the streets of Seattle weren’t weird enough, now we’ve got to deal with vampires carrying pipe bombs (http://www.mynorthwest.com/?nid=11&sid=297411).

Seriously, this town is just a few weirdos away from turning into a David Lynch movie.
