Well heck, as long as she changed the wording on what kind of trip it was and paid some hush money, what's the diff? I mean if you rob a bank and then give the money back it's all cool, right?

Jen,

With the full disclosure of me being an attention wh**e, let me suggest my own Earth Day video to add to your list of must viewing on this most eco-hallowed of days. I had intended on having a really large bonfire this year but it was raining too much. Here is my celebration from 2010, which was featured on Red Eye.

I've thought about this a lot since my granddaughter started watching cartoons. Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbera made cartoons that had humans and talking animals, yet the plots and subtext were geared toward an adult.

There are many things that I saw or heard in them that made me want to read and find out what they meant. A lot of the pop culture references of the 40s and 50s I could ask Mom. She told me most of them, others I figured out later.

Cartoons now are written from the perspective of a kid talking to a kid. I see some teaching tools in them, but the hilarity and zaniness are lacking. The ones the do have more action are just stupid. I don't think it was the violence that got Bugs pulled from the air, it was him treating us like adults that was their problem.

Yeah, Jake. I never thought those Penthouse letters were real until one night about 5 years ago. A yoga instructor moved in next door and was having trouble moving some furniture. Luckily I just happened to be looking through the window and then.......

She died unnecessarily. You play Chicken with a dozer, you lose every time.

I have an old ballcap that says "Cat Power" on it, but it's referring to heavy machinery.

Makes sense. Go to any leftist protest and you'll see plenty of Jew haters.

Hank, there's a video of a bunch of musicians from around the globe, all playing the same song. I saw it on Youtube but can't remember the song. I watched it the first time with the volume off. What I noticed was that despite the different locations of the artists, they all had the basically the same look in their hair, dress and mannerisms.

I thought to myself that they probably all consider themselves to be really edgy and individualists. But when looked at from the perspective of their peers, they were all mere conformists.
