Random Briefs

There is only one idiot you'll never meet: the last one.

I watched an HD online trailer for the latest sci-fi blockbuster, "Skyline," tonight. The aliens are bigger, louder, more inescapable than in any previous billion-dollar special effects blow-out. Yet the surf tonight, pounding the beach just blocks from my window, sounds like it's right outside, more real and more awesome than anything CGI artists could ever conjure up.

Some people will spend a year on the toilet just to shit a pile big enough from which to stand on and look down on people.

The more I hear candidates talk, the more it sounds like kids trying to talk their parents into getting them bikes. The more I hear elected officials talk, the more it sounds like kids trying to explain to their parents how "monsters" wrecked the bike.

It's one thing to see people taking the low road. It's another to see people setting their ambitions toward it.
