Beer at the Pump: U.S. Converts to Ethanol

What, did Bush inhale this time? What do we look like, Brazil? The only way we'd use ethanol is if we needed to strap 10 quadrillion pound rocket thrusters, that would use up all oil on this planet, on one end of the Earth to escape an asteroid - or just for kicks - and shirked the responsibility on over to Russia just so we could actually sell all our oil. I think we're more likely to see health care reform before that. On second thought...the two seem just as likely to occur. Maybe Venezuela can just get rid of our leader... ... ....

Pareto's parasites

Something's awry. I woke up this morning - for the third time - and noticed my mickey mouse platy gasping for air and discovered that it, along with a few other fish, was suffering from parasites.

Alphabet Soup

In the large chasm between mundane colloquialism and grandiloquence is a misplaced (for the benefit of the doubt) appreciation for the use of words; an appreciation of the same token by which we scrawl a line between a Dali and graffiti in discerning arts. Words like colors, shroud us ubiquitously as we have managed to strew both in all contexts. Yet in mimicry, diction with its palette of prepackaged letters proves to be far more difficult as it lacks the hues and nuances of colors. Nevertheless, however crude the outcome, it still manages to project intonations and connotations evoking a complete gamut of responses. A picture may in fact be a thousand words, but that is no reason to forego the literary challenge of painting with alphabet soup.
