It actually does have elevators. I don’t think I blogged about it at the time, partly because it seemed so hard to believe that a building could get all the way from planning to completion with no one pointing out the problem.

Amazon Local, Los Angeles Edition
Every day, I get offers for: acting classes, teeth whitening, massage packages with reflexology and aromatherapy, microdermabrasion facials, tanning salons, exfoliation…
It’s like they’re trying to live down to the expectations of the rest of the country.

Are you the kind of person likely to be suckered into a conversation with a Twitter-bot?
I’m not.

Nancy Pelosi’s Broken Irony Meter
Only she could say this with a straight face: “…the president is one of the most practically non-partisan presidents I have seen in the White House.”
Amazing. Comedy gold.
Debbie Moron Schultz
“My district will be underwater in a few short years.”
Well, if by “a few short years” you mean perhaps centuries, maybe. On the other hand, it’s more likely that Chicago could be under a mile of ice.

This is an excellent example of the value of hyphens.

That’s real retarded, witness.
It’s almost like they’re setting it up for an acquittal from a mostly-white jury so they have an excuse for race riots.
The President’s Auto Insurance
One of the most amusingly stupid categories of spam I get is emails about how “Congress passed a bill” or “The president signed a law” resulting in lower auto insurance or (as they often idiotically say) “driving” rates. They sometimes try to tie it into current events. Here are two nutty subject lines today:
“President’s G8 Summit Meeting Yields Lower Auto Ins. For All,”
and
“Following meet with Putin, President announces lower auto ins. for all.”
Sadly, there are enough idiots out there that this probably does work. Until we come up with some cost for emailing, spam will persist.
