America to the Rescue!

This is a must see. I was watching the Daily Show last night and I couldn't wait to post this clip. You always hear the phrase, 'the enemy of my enemy is my freind'. If the U.S. interventionist-style foreign policy of the middle east had a catch phrase, that would be it. Jon takes you through a very brief summary of how we've permanently focked up (thats right, i said focked) the region by covertly and overtly meddling in their political affairs for 50 years. Watch it!

- Of course it's on Crooks and Liars... where else?

*It's not that I've run out of adjectives to describe how incredibly screwed up our country's policies have become... there's just no better words to convey how stupid and horrible they are than the dirtiest, filthiest words in the english language. Plus, according to the friggin' FCC (as peter from family guy would put it) it's okay to say the word 'focker' on television, so I figured it'd be alright to put it on a blog that no one reads.

MPLS Bridge Collapse

I got a call from my buddy Brian around a quarter after six tonight, hopped on my bike and flew down through the U of M campus to the Cedar Ave. Bridge on 10th. This is what I saw.

I'm still in shock, I take that bridge almost everyday. One of my best freinds was driving home from work and went over it through road construction and rush hour traffic just minutes before it collapsed. So far, no one I know was involved, but it's horrible knowing that loved ones were lost and many more were and still are in critical condition, overflowing the hospitals in the area.

35W bridge was such an important part of the Twin Cities area, now it's gone. It'll take years to recover from this.
