    You poor poor Americans!

    I bet you are drooling with envy because you're missing the Eurovision song contest!

    http://www.eurovision.tv/page/dusseldorf-2011

    I wonder what beautifully crafted ballad will win this year?



    Would you like something to suck on for landing sir?




    God I wish the Nazi's had won WW2!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I feel more sorry for the Iraqis getting raped and beaten up in Abu Ghraib then I do my fellow Americans who are missing foreign music contests that they probably don't even know exist.
