I'm sorry I can't keep up. If only I could find the gif for this photo:

I wonder if that's the same girl, because the panties look the same.

PJ O'Rourke's new piece in The Atlantic tears down Disney's new House of the Future. PJ's at the top of his game, so you should read it all, but I liked this part in particular.

• Disney’s Tomorrowland is deeply, thoroughly, almost furiously unimaginative. This isn’t the fault of the “Disney culture”; it is the fault of our culture. We seem to have entered a deeply unimaginative era.
  
  Let us not confuse imagination with innovation or even with progress. Man’s descent from the trees and adoption of the brilliant mechanics of bipedalism were innovation and progress of the first order. But what did we do with this progress for our first million years as humans? As best we can tell, we hung around the Olduvai Gorge and beat some rocks together to make “chopping tools.”
  
  On the other hand, the Italian Renaissance was so imaginative that during its three centuries, practically everything worth imagining was imagined. And yet not much was actually invented in Florence, Pisa, or Rome.

Electric Car: Hello, I am an electric car. I can't go very fast, or very far. And if you drive me, people will think you're gay!

Hey Gatti, the ghost of Walt Disney just called and told me to tell you that if you don't have an animated .gif of a hot chick, you shouldn't post today. He also said something racist too, but I told him that it wasn't cool man.

She was a Russian plant. Chuck Barris would have had to kill me if I didn't go through with it. It was a sacrifice I made as a patriotic American.

Little none post-logue: in 1981 I was retroactively awarded a medal of honour, and Nancy Reagan blew me in the Lincoln Bedroom...... so it was not all for naught.

We got Wii over the summer. We have a 7 yr old boy and a 4 yr old girl. Both kids love the Wii sports package that came with the system (bowling, tennis, golf, boxing). Girl enjoys Disney Princess. Boy loves Mario Kart, Super Mario Brawl, Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiano Jones.

Make sure you have enough wii-motes and nunchucks. (We have 2 of each, plus 2 steering wheels for Mario Kart.)

It's fun. You'll like it.

ETA: Word to the wise -- if you hook the Wii up to the internet, you may want to supervise the kids' play. Apparently, the Wii store has Wii penises (penii??) for sale. Or, at least, so advised my sister-in-law . . . over Thanksgiving dinner.

I wondered what happened to Bilmore. I wouldn't have believed any one person could drive him off these boards. Is that really what happened?
