NOT "tasteless and offensive..."
But hysterical. I'm calling it the terrorist fist bump from now on. No more knuckle bumps for me.
I do think this is one of the best New Yorker covers I've seen, though. Not subtle at all, but I still don't see why the Obama team doesn't understand the premise behind it. Well, I know it must be understood but that they're afraid some average American might for some reason put down their People and Entertainment Weekly to stumble upon a piece of enlightened work like the New Yorker and not pick up on its sarcasm.
Something I figured you folks would dig was this article on futuristic materials.
More cool technology here and here
Aight, that's about it for me for now

Kinda funny, and yes, Wikileaks is back.
Just thought this was funny.
Also, I was happy to look at Wikileaks a minute ago and see that it was indeed back. I guess this is old news since Patrick's post was from quite a bit ago. Now that it's back and pretty again, I can scan it for real.
I hope we can get this blog rolling again. I haven't been keeping up with the news like I used to because it's just so ridiculous. I'm afraid for the future of our country and the world these days. I'm afraid that with all the environmental issues we face, coupled with a culture of willful ignorance, distraction, and disconnection from reality, that it's going to be too late before people realize that the world we live in and the ways of live we lead are ensuring our destruction. (that sentence needs editing)
On top of it, our brand of government based on the empowerment of the corporation and the marginalization and economic enslavement of the majority of the citizens has led to masses of people living check to check, in debt with no end in sight, and with a misguided patriotic duty to consume. The American dream is indeed a dream, but I'm afraid that waking up is going to leave a lot of people grumpy and confused about how to live.
Even with new leadership and a drastic change in leadership, we're going to need to make some serious headway in energy consumption and independence, as well as efficiency in general with regards to our resource management (material, mineral, water, energy, waste).
What are you guys going to do? (I have interesting answers)
Do you see the problems as being as large as I see them?
Do you consider yourself to be well-informed about environmental issues and their connections to politics and the economy? (Mostly, but I must learn more every day)
What is going to happen? (hmmm)
Will our generation be witness to the end of suburbia and the "American dream?" (I hope so)
Enjoying summer? (YES)
I just might just...
