A Westside Crime Spree

I don't know how this isn't in all the news:

I have stumbled onto a crime spree of epic proportions. APPARENTLY some master criminal has been breaking into cars all over the westside of Los Angeles, and disabling their turn indicator controls.

That's the only explanation I can think of, for the fact that every self-absorbed tool-in-a-box seems to believe that they are the only car on the road and can roam across lanes willy-nilly in a double-mocha-frappa-java-tequila haze!!!
Now - don't get me wrong. This isn't your garden level distracted driving, talking on the cell phone while mixing cocktails and doing your crossword puzzle. These are just idiots who can't be bothered, or for whom the thought never even occurs!!!

I don't mind if you drive fast. Heck, I don't mind if you play hopscotch down the 405 doing 125 miles an hour while making fajitas and singing opera - Just give the rest of us a little heads up!!!
But no - these morons just bumble along their merry way.

They must be stopped.

What Makes A Good Blog?

This, my friends, is the eternal question. Well, not really eternal - but it comes up from time to time when you are staring at a blank screen, a flashing cursor, and the issue of "What makes you think you have anything interesting to say?" comes to mind.

The folks over at Valleywag (www.valleywag.com) apparently have analyzed this question and assembled the following graph to explain it all. Not surprisingly, it all breaks down to sex and power. Anyone who is shocked by this revelation of the most base of human behaviors probably should stop reading now, disconnect your computer, and go back to living on the commune that you came from.
