Howard Tayler thought so, and he’s usually a little nicer about films than I am. Depressing, if true: I wanted that movie not to be horrid, despite the fact that it got delayed a year (usually a really bad sign).
Oh, well, there’s always Pacific Rim.
I believe that ‘expulsion’ usually is not intended to be meant quite so… literally.
Police chased a former lawmaker on a freeway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles and arrested him at gunpoint following a struggle, hours after he became the first person ever expelled from the Nevada Legislature.
Steven Brooks was jailed in California’s San Bernardino County after being subdued with punches and a Taser. Police alleged he attacked a police dog with a wrench.
The AP managed to not mention Brooks’ political affiliation (Democrat) until the fourth paragraph, although to be fair: the phrase ‘attacked a police dog with a wrench’ can reasonably seen as being an irresistible lure for reading further. At any rate, this should be a fascinating HBO movie in a couple of years. Assuming, of course, that they can figure out some way to get some skin in it.

…to feed small children as part of a major holiday.
It’s a good thing that Easter is so associated with Christianity: that’s about the only thing keeping me from learning necromancy and wreaking a bitter revenge on whoever it was that linked this holiday with high-sugar candy.
I’ve had the Evil Giraffe for a while, but this has its points:
Yeah, I’m more or less back.
Just… not at the same time. Contraindicated.
Contraindicated. Continue reading Wine, and Bioshock Infinite.
I’m off for the rest of the weekend. I’m sure that the universe can function well enough without me to shout out stuff from the peanut gallery.
Largely because if you buy Interior Desecrations: Hideous Homes from the Horrible ’70s via that link you’re rewarding James Lileks, and not Buzzfeed’s rip-off of the rip-off of James Lileks*. Some people have no class.

*Excuse me: ‘alleged.’
Seriously, if you are a DC suburban resident: do you want a pack of wolves to move in next door? Right next to your pets? Digging into your garbage for all that rotten meat that you threw away? Howling at night?
No?
Well, here’s the thing:
Biologists generally recommend that area should have no more than 20 deer per square mile. [Rock Creek Park], according to official estimates, has about 70.

We forget that, reservation-of-deliberate-weirdos* aside, Austin is the capital of Texas. And if there’s a place that’s pretty much the antithesis of North Korea, it’s Texas.
Which doesn’t make North Korea any less insane for targeting Austin with missiles that it doesn’t actually have. And here I was, hoping that the new King of North Korea might not be as crazy as the rest of his dynasty…

*Actually, I can say that. I’m a weirdo myself.
What the hell; it’s been a more or less wreck of a day anyway.

…I called this ‘creepy’ a while back; but it’s more like it’s… from forty years ago, when all the cultural tags were slightly different. Anyway, best to just listen to the beat and try not to look too hard at the pictures. Or at all.
