"I wanna free fall out into nothin'. Gonna leave this world for awhile."
Just a quick update on the post office killings, because let's face it...we've all been there. True enough few if any of you, my faithful readers, have acted on said impulse....but still, you know?
So five people died, which is not so good, but not so new either. Here's the news: The killer...was a lady. Anyone out there got a laaa-dy problem?
It's said to be the greatest act of workplace violence by a female in American history. (I am assuming the word greatest there is not meant in a Muhammad Ali kind of way, but more like a...well just a big, bad way.)
It's refreshing to see the ladies catching up to men in terms of recognition at the workplace.
So it's Groundhog Day....again. I'm told Phil did see his shadow, which of course means......actually, I'm not sure what it means. I've never lived anywhere that really had a snowball's chance in hell of an early spring, so it really doesn't matter what Phil saw today. He could have seen my shadow and I wouldn't have been impressed.
Some interesting groundhog facts:
--Groundhogs actually hibernate, unlike bears who merely go through daily torpor.
--During said hibernation, groundhogs will take only one breath every four minutes, their heart rate slows to four beats a minute and their body temperature will drop from an average of 99 degrees Fahrenheit to about 36 degrees.
--Groundhog Day actually started in England, using hedgehogs instead as part of some Christian holiday. I swear to god and I do mean Allah.
--Punxsatawney Phil is correct only 37 percent of the time. Anyone looking to a groundhog for the weather is probably an idiot 100 percent of the time, unless you go to the groundhog instead of ABC 17's Randy Wright, in which case you would be correct 100 percent of the time.
Randy Wright was actually born Randy Wrong and has had trouble all his life shaking the moniker, much to the chagrin of mid-Missouri residents.
Speaking of changes, lawyers are challenging a recently-enacted Wisconsin law which officially prohibits the use of taxpayer-dollars for the sexual reassignment of prison inmates. Huh....
Don't know if you saw this, but a New York man jumped from the 66th floor of the Empire State Building in what police are calling an apparent suicide. Thank you Detective Sipowicz. Of course this is the same police force that shoots its own guys when in the course of making arrests, so you never know.
It's the first Empire State Building jumper since 2004, when a man 20-upped our recent Peter Pan by taking off from the 86th observation level.
Re-watched Crash last night in light of all the Oscar nominations. Pretty damned good! Plus Tony Fuckin' Danza is in the movie. By the by, how is it Ryan Phillippe keeps getting cast in great films? Gosford Park, Igby Goes Down and now Crash? The guy is as piss-poor an actor as there is working with any regularity in films right now. Plus he's married to Reese Witherspoon, which means he probably get to have the sex with her too. Oooh!!! I hate Ryan Phillippe! Did you see Anti-Trust? Oooh!!! I hated that movie!
Okay that was your daily dose of misanthropic decadence. This posting had no particular point, so it has no discernible end.
Be sure to bundle up. I hear tales of six more weeks of winter.
