Great poem. It makes me wonder whether Chloe is psychopathic. Or is that just what war and slavery do to a person?

Jay Mohr's radio rant has been making the rounds. If you know the ads, it's pretty funny stuff. I found some sample commercials (1, 2, 3) for the curious. On a related note, fuck Carl's Jr.

From the page: "Homelessness is just all over, even Beverly Hills," said John Joel Roberts, chief executive of Path Partners, which provides street outreach services.

But the homeless in Beverly Hills have direct access to something most street dwellers do not: rich people, who can afford to be pretty generous. They pull up in Porsches and SUVs offering trays of cooked food, designer clothing still in dry-cleaner plastic and odd jobs.

"They have a sympathetic thing for us and we're grateful for it," said a man with grizzled hair pulling a train of wheeled suitcases, an office chair and a stroller piled high with a motley bunch of items found in the trash. He would only identify himself as "Bond."

My favorite lecture off the Aish site. I don't usually like this kind of thing, but this one struck a chord.

From the page: "The ability to walk to many of these places from our homes or places of employment generally raises that quality-of-life index. When researchers look for places where people are happiest, it's often in communities where they can live near where they work, walk their children to school and shop at stores within walking or biking distance..."

"Studies also indicate people are least happy when in their cars, largely because they cannot predict what will slow them down, or when. Thus the long commutes of Silicon Valley have gotten more and more costly, not only in terms of money and time, but also happiness."

Such quality beards.
