It's never too dead

Clear!...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
Clear!...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
Yep it's dead, so let's get out that crop and get to work.

Oil was over $127.00 a barrel yesterday, and last night I saw a commercial on TV from that evil airline that started the trend of sending US jobs to central America so they could sell cheaper tickets. The gist of the ad was that it's much better to go to an NBA game than to watch it on TV, and with $59 dollar fares it's possible. There just isn't much to say...we are doomed.

Like the flight of Icarus, the wax holding our feathers on is getting soft and, as we fly farther into the face of danger, they'll soon be stripped from us like a bad cartoon; we'll creep away, covering our privates, and with a nervous smile that reveals chattering teeth.

It's like the Cindi Lauper song in the 80's:
"The phone rings in the middle of the night; China says we'll take your jobs, make your load light. Oh China dear you're the new number one, and Americans just want to have fun. Whooaoh Americans just want to have fun. That's all they really waaaaannnnt, Americans just want to have fun."

Clear!...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep beep beep beep. Doh, I won't be able to come back here any more.
