I’m not the first one who’s observed that if the Tea Party people ever woke up to how they’re being manipulated and used by the Republicans and their corporate overlords, Wall Street would probably need the National Guard called in to protect their greedy asses.

Ran across this today. You can watch it below, but do yourself a favor and go directly to the YouTube page, set the resolution to 1080p and full screen (if your bandwidth will support it) and enjoy. Mesmerizing.
From the YouTube description:
A time-lapse of Planet Earth, created from images produced by the geostationary Electro-L Weather Satellite. The images were obtained beginning on May 14th, and end on May 20th. The images are the largest whole disk images of our planet, each image is 121 megapixels, and the resolution is 1 kilometer per pixel. They are taken every half hour, and have been interpolated (smoothed) to create this video. The images are taken in four different wavelengths of light, three visible, and one infrared. The infrared light is reflected by forests and vegetation, which appear orange in these images.

Whenever my boyfriend talks me into going shopping (“I really do want your input on this purchase.”) i just hope to hell it’s someplace where I can sit down while I wait for the agony to end.
Which reminds me, do NOT under any circumstances go shopping at Blinds To Go with your partner. No place to sit. Anywhere. All there is to occupy your time is to stand around and listen to one person in a relationship ask the other person in the relationship mind-numbing questions regarding what the other person thinks about window treatments.
“Do you think these will make the room look smaller or bigger?”
I don’t know. How the hell would I know until they’re installed?
I almost hung myself in the store with the cord from a set of aluminum rainbow mini blinds, which would at least have been poetic.
Window treatment shopping. The worst kind of torture.

I still have it now and then, pretty much as a reward for resisting it the rest of the time. And when I’ve been overserved. McDonald’s and beer just go together.
