WE SUCK!
The Olympics have started and the U S and A women's soccer team lost to Denmark, 2-0. In soccer, excuse me, football, parlance that's a blowout. Just pathetic.
Denmark? Not only are they the happiest country happy in the world, but they have the hottest women in the world (i was there for a day and just walked around wiff my tongue scrapping the ground), and now they're kicking our ass in "football." I want to be Danish. Plus, they taste good. Raspberry? Almond? Dat's good eatin'.

didn't we invent the internets? (specifically, I believe it was Al Gore)
News item: Nations in Europe and Asia our “cleaning our clock” on broadband deployment, competition, speeds and prices...
Bud sold to the Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards!?!?!
What's next - apple pie and hot dogs sold to the Germans? Just pathetic...
Anheuser-Busch being sold to InBev for $52B
BRUSSELS, Belgium - The maker of the King of Beers has agreed to go to work for the Belgian brewer InBev SA.
Anheuser-Busch Cos. said early Monday it had agreed to a sweetened $52 billion takeover bid from InBev, creating the world's largest brewer and heading off what was shaping up as an acrimonious fight for the maker of Budweiser and Bud Light beers. Inbev brands include Stella Artois, Beck's and Bass.
The combined company will be called Anheuser-Busch InBev. As of the end of last week, InBev said it would be the world's third largest consumer products company by market capitalization after Procter & Gamble of the United States and Nestle SA of Switzerland.

the k-maddest generation
The baby boomers -- that prominent group of middle-agers whose massive numbers invite never-ending dissection and speculation -- have once again spoken. What they have said is, "Waaaaaahhh."
This is according to a social and demographic trends survey released recently by the Pew Research Center. The survey measured the pessimism, dissatisfaction and general curmudgeonliness of 2,413 adults in various generations.
The results validate any member of the Greatest Generation who ever looked at his or her offspring and sadly thought, "soft." Simply put, boomers are a bunch of . . . whiners.
More than older or younger generations, boomers -- born from 1946 to 1964 -- worry that their income won't keep up with rising costs of living. They say it's harder to get ahead today than it was 10 years ago. They are more likely to say that their standard of living is lower than their folks' but that things don't look too good for their kids either (67 percent of younger generations, meanwhile, feel they have it better than their parents).
Everything stinks, except for the things that stink even more, and it's not exactly clear why, considering that this is the population with the highest median income. Boomers also have fewer difficulties affording housing or medical care, the survey says, and they enjoyed greater job security last year than older or younger generations.

in the meantime, it would be prudent to expect the occasional delay
Those old transit blues
The CTA's "Countdown to a new Brown"? How many years? How many stations? And earthquakes aren't part of our reconstruction equation. We don't open stations. We close them. We put up with slow zones, evacuations and even derailments. And then we're told to "Leave early. Leave late. Alternate."
Like move, perhaps? Seriously.
