So there's this group of people who every Saturday gather at the main intersection in my neighborhood and protest. They just walk back and forth through the crosswalks with signs that say "NO IRAQ WAR!" and "MAKE PEACE!" and "BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!"
Now, I'm sure these folks are well-meaning, but what exactly do they think they are going to accomplish? Like W is going to stop off at Ben & Jerry's and see them and say, "You know, nevermind that our foreign policy is based on a phenomenally complicated military industrial complex involving billions of dollars and millions of people. That old lady made a sign! Let's call the whole thing off!"
Christ, people, the ship has sailed. Go volunteer at a homeless shelter or something that can actually make a difference instead of wasting your time.
Reminds me of a joke by my favorite comedian, Mitch Hedberg: "I'm against protesting, but I don't know how to express it."

Check out the valentine I got from the lovely pillango -- she's cool like that.

Tonight I'm going to a party to celebrate my friend's book release. I'm thinking about not buying one, just because it would be funny. "What a dick!"

Another question!
SCENARIO FIVE: You meet a wizard in downtown Chicago. The wizard tells you he can make you more attractive if you pay him money the more you pay, the more your attractiveness increases. When you ask how this process works, the wizard points to a random person on the street. You look at this random stranger. The wizard says, I will now make this person one dollar more attractive.
He waves his wand and, ostensibly, this person does not change at all. As far as you can tell, nothing is physically different. But, somehow, this person is suddenly a little more appealing. The tangible difference is invisible to the naked eye, but you cant deny that the person is vaguely sexier. The wizard has a weird rule, though: you can only pay him once. You cant keep giving him money until you are satisfied, just one lump sum up front.
How much cash do you give the wizard?
