quote [ A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. A car drives off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out of the car carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. [...]The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? ]
I'm not sure why writing sci-fi in this style has gone so out of fashion.

quote [ Baltimore - it's been an ordinary week in Maryland's largest city. The August heat broke and one can nearly sleep with a window open; the Orioles are again down in the cellar in the American League East; the city murder rate is a bit behind last year's blood-letting, and if it holds into the fall, politicians and police commanders will compete to claim credit. ]
A great article by David Simon, the guy behind The Wire.

quote [ Todd Harris, a GOP strategist who is close to the McCain campaign, says Palin won't be available to the press for about two weeks. His defense? She might make "a mistake." ]
While Palin is in hiding for the next two weeks, Biden is on meet the press and Obama is on the factor. Good luck with that Sara.

quote [ Anti-Kremlin website founder dies in police custody
5 days ago MOSCOW (AFP) — A vocal critic of the Kremlin's policies in the Caucasus died Sunday from a bullet wound to the head while in police custody, Interfax reported, quoting prosecutors. ] Didn't find this posted earlier. Being a journalist in the ex-Soviets can be hazardous to your health. Also, I read a Finnish report claiming that the police threw his body out of the car on the roadside after the 'accident'. Try explaining that.

quote [ Gov. Palin has begun stonewalling the Legislature's attempt to get the bottom of allegations that she, her family or staff violated ethical or state personnel rules. ]
Oh Mrs. Palin, you are the gift that just keeps on giving. Oh, and that private jet she, "sold on ebay?" Yeah, not so much. Does she know we can all read?

quote [ the obtuse writer whom one British critic called "the Elvis of cultural theory"; the serious ideologue who wrote copy for the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog; the captivating speaker whose voice and speech patterns, according to a New Yorker profile, most closely resemble the late Andy Kaufman's Latka character in the television show "Taxi." ]
Just saw the bro speak in SF last night....super on point.
