I don’t even remember which blog I just read this on . Probably peppermages? Sorry lovely person who created this, I will find out who I copied this picture from and credit it.

The village voice has written another artcile about my old friend from college, Carles.  He created a line of t-shirts that say “I am Carles.” For $3000 he will hand deliver the shirt. Some kid even started a donation fund for people to help him buy the hand delivered shirt so that he can film it and “reveal carles’s identity” or something.

So far people have been saying “do you want the post office to deliver your healthcare” blah blah blah. there are some things they do right, and it usually has to do with public safety.

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the Public Power Monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the Municipal Water Utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Atandards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issed by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local Police Department.
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.

It reads “A Cover Built For Two”. And it shows Ellen riding back seat on a vintage tandem bicycle with a wicker basket in front. The sub headlines read ” a Tisket, a Tasket… Whats in Oprah’s Basket?” and “Ellen Shows You How To Juggle Your Marriage and Your Career!”

While on the subject of Twitter. How about a tagline for all matters of bicycling in Santa Monica? Any thoughts on a short tag line that is not yet being used? How about #Cycle90401 ?

So, this happened. Its also from http://la.curbed.com

“Socialite Paris Hilton has installed a $325,000 home for her six tiny dogs near the pool of her Beverly Hills mansion, according to a story and spread in Life & Style (no link, but there’s pictures on Long Island Press, strangely enough). The two-story structure is 300 square feet and has central air, a balcony, and a crystal chandelier. It’s in the style of Westside-nouveau-riche. Oh, and $325 grand could net you a 3bd/2ba in Baldwin Hills, a 2-bedroom in Highland Park, or a 1-bedroom in West LA. [Life & Style via Long Island Press]“

“Sure, we’ve mocked listings before that tended to overreach. We don’t have a high tolerance for the overstated verbal flourishes you often find in listings. But in the case of this Encino condo, brevity is not the soul of wit. Here’s the whole description from the listing: “The is a [sic] very nice condo. All remodeled.” Well, thanks for that helpful information! It’s also frightening that this is the best, and only, picture of the one bedroom, one bath condo. And the sales history is also suspicious. The place was first sold in 1991 for $125,000, then again in 1995 for $90,000, in 1996 for $62,000, in 2002 for $4,000, in 2005 for $5,000, then again in 2007 for a whopping $613,636. WTF? Seriously, WTF? The sales history has now reduced our ability to comment coherently. And yes, it seems to be passing back and forth among the same few owners. Today’s listing price: $195,000.
