Lewis Hamilton makes me embarrassed to be a McLaren supporter. I’ll wait the little bastard out until:

1. He finishes teething
2. He goes to Ferrari, where his character will no doubt be embraced

Happy birfday to me

To Whom It May Concern,

There is a pothole in the intersection of W. Broad Street and Staples Mill Road. If one is proceeding through the intersection compass direction South on Staples Mill (33E) and crosses W. Broad Street while in the left hand lane, the pothole will conveniently identify its location to you by jamming your driver’s side front tire into the wheel well, every single damn time.

Best regards,
Anthony

If you, gentle reader, regard this image and say, “So? It’s a pen held upright by a magnetic base,” then, with my apologies, this post is not for you.

For those unaware, I love Hallowe’en. It appeals to my love of play and reinvention, and there’s candy. I carve a pumpkin every year, and sometimes I’m lucky enough to have a conspirator. So, without further ado, I present Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein’s Monster and Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monkey.

While the following error (read: hilarious fuckup) could have just as easily happened on printed ballots, given my antipathy for electronic voting machines, I am all too happy to take yet another, albeit gratuitous, swipe at them.
</ADMISSION>

Rich Whitney, the Illinois Green party gubernatorial candidate, was dismayed to learn that his name was misspelled as “Rich Whitey” on electronic ballots in 23 of Chicago’s 50 wards. Half of the machines with the misspelling are in predominately black wards and there is not time to correct the error before election day.

Though polling indicates that Whitney would garner a mere two percent of the votes, he is (somewhat) understandably unhappy about the misspelling. If it were me, I would be trying like hell to incorporate this as a campaign feature. I would post flyers all over the affected wards with slogans like “A rich whitey is moving into the Governor’s mansion anyway. Vote Rich Whitey!”, or “Vote Whitey! He’s Green!”

Never undervalue how grateful people are to laugh.
