Orange called my attention to a pretty awesome phenomenon: real people who dress like superheroes while doing good deeds. This is so awesome. Here’s the link to their online lair.

I’m headed home to see the ‘rents for the long weekend. Have a great Thanksgiving.

The final post in the series:

Is that Jiri… welcoming the pilgrim?

I bought a Street Spirit this evening on my way to the BART. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I read one of the cover stories. Fresno mayor Alan Autry (you may remember him as Bubba on the TV show In the Heat of the Night) has decided it’s a good idea to store homeless people in storage sheds. As soon as I got home I had to source this story, to make sure it wasn’t made up. Sure enough, it’s true. (See more here, here, here, and here.)

All I have to say is, WTF?! Is this seriously how we as a civilized society are going to deal with “the homeless problem” (quotes meant to imply sarcasm)? The sheds have no running water, no toilets, no heating, and no cooling. Although I didn’t grow up in Fresno proper, I’m pretty ashamed of this action taken by the mayor and city council of Fresno. One person in Street Wise had an astute observation:

If you put one of these tool sheds in your back yard and tried to move your mother-in-law into it, you would probably be in violation of numerous building code violations.

Is that Jiri… going bananas?

Is that Jiri… going apeshit?

I’ve always had a thing for Andy Roddick. Cute boy-next-door type with a devilish sparkle in the eyes. His badonkadonk booty is to die for.

I’m very close to canceling my Facebook account. This is ridiculous.

Tell me, is it really appropriate to use a taser on a non-violent speeding ticket violation? And, exactly when did the guy get his Miranda Rights read to him?

Simply amazing. I love the messages communicated here. These two guys are non-violently protesting Alberto Gonzales and his abuses on habeus corpus and civil rights. But, the beauty is that even their removal from the stage has a message. Brilliant. More of this, please.

This is the best thing I saw all day today. (Note, I can’t figure out how to embed it, so you’ll have to click through.)

I guess I’ve gotta give props to Huckabee for having a sense of humor. Seriously?! This line is great: “There’s no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. Only another fist.”

Too bad Chuck Norris is a huge douche.

Nagu forwarded me a link today. What I already knew was that Conservapedia exists as the conservatives’ alternative to Wikipedia as a source of online information. What I didn’t know is that Conservapedia has a stats page that shows the most viewed pages. What’s the obsession with homosexuality. Maybe Mark Foley, Larry Craig, or Bob Allen can explain it to us…

(Update: In case this page changes, here’s a screen cap from the day of the original blog post.)

Is that Jiri… or are you just happy to see me?

Is that Jiri… staking his claim?

Is that Jiri… quenching his thirst?

Is that Jiri… looking for a hand?

Is that Jiri… busting out of his jock?

Is that Jiri… playing grab-ass?

Here’s the newest gay-themed ad from D&G. I love the music in this ad and their previous ads.
