there is nothing ruder than a post with no pictures.

the best wine of all is riesling from germany's mosel valley. in the late 1960s, the german govt began planning to build a huge hideous bridge across the valley as part of a roadway to connect a UN military post and a US military post. those posts are long gone, but the roadway was finally approved in 2008, with groundbreaking taking place earlier this year. the bridge is now pointless and will undoubtedly destroy the environment that produces my favorite wines. (this is what i heard them saying on npr, and i am pretty sure i got it fairly well correct, and if you don't believe me, just go google "riesling bridge" and see for yourself).

what about ol' steven slater? whoop! you go, steve-o! in case you haven't heard (that is to say, in case you live in a cave), stevie was a flight attendant who worked for jet blue airlines. yesterday he got into a disagreement with a passenger that escalated into a physical altercation and ended with stevie yelling obscenities over the aeroplane's PA system, grabbing a couple brewskies, and popping the emergency inflatable slide for a ride down. now. okay. firstly, go stevie! secondly, probably should have skipped the slide deployment... which costs... $25,000. that's right - 25. thousand. dollars. gah! that appears to be a major oopsie, except you've got to think stevie probably had some inkling of the cost. at any rate, if you've ever been on the service side of a public transaction, surely you can see where ol' steve-o is coming from. countless internet posts, emails to news outlets, phone calls to talk radio - all claim "the public is out of control rude!"... but... if we all agree the public is so rude... then, who is the rude public? see what i mean here? we are all saying "everyone is rude" but who is everyone if not us?

speaking of rude, what about ol' roddie blogojevich? the jury has yet to come to a consensus about what exactly he might be guilty of, so i will just throw in my 2¢ here... roddie's an eejit, a complete ginormous roaring eejit. i am fairly certain he doesn't even know that what he did was wrong and i bet if given the chance, he'd whack a flight attendant in the head with a bin door.

hrm.

do you think i should have a pithy line to tie together a useless bridge, a rude and disrespectful plane-flying public, and an elected eejit? really? well, then, YOU write me one!
