Ah... the LA Heatwave is still in effect. Nuthin' sucks worse than walkin by the on-ramp to the 405 and the cars zip by blastin you with a wave of hot air.

The heat makes you think, what's up with clean water? 'Cause you need so much to stay hydrated, and then more to be cool. Or maybe you just need to get to a ice cooler at the local 7-11, where a lot of beggars hang out.

Speaking of ice coolers, I was reading an article in Rolling Stone about the sectarian violence in Iraq, and the author was saying that Sunnis were killing Shi'ites (or maybe it was the other way around, I don't give a fuck, they's all the same to me) because they were using an ice machine.

Ice Machines!?! A potential messiah for desert folk, but since ice machines weren't around when Mohammad was toolin around the use of one marks you as an infidel-defiler that needs to be bucked down -- with a 7.62mm bullet bursting out of a -- you guessed it! An AK-47! Like those were around during the time of Mohammed. I don't even think gunpowder was discovered yet, so the "time honored tradition" of celebrating by firing a AK-47 into the air is another reason why the Arabs just pervert Islam. Or maybe their culture is just backward-ass?

Ya think? See what Islam needs is a Reformation -- the same way that Christianity and Judeaism had, so the religions could go with the flow of increasingly modern times. I mean, where's the Arabic martin luther? Slain as a child, or given over to twisted jailers to torture and maim, so an example can be set -- Imams and Ayatollahs don't tolerate people who want to shake up the power structure!

The war zone that's kicking the US's ass in Iraq, should be allowed to enter Civil War status. Let them fools kill each other off to the point, that it can be a clean sweep for the US Troops to mop up the surviving militias and insurgents. Plus, all the money that's being spent over there could be being spent on a new energy sources, or at least to build out more solar energy collectors.

Well, more news from the front when I can get back to the library again.

I wonder if Arab snipers is mad 'cause G.I. Joe's cruise around Baghdad with iPods blasting out beats by Tupac? You know the thing about not having any money for such a long time, and then eventually going homeless is that you don't get to have these little consumer goods that seem cool, and get a lot of pub in the media -- like a Blackberry or an iPod or a GPS in your car. I'm goin to have one of those installed in my car next time I have a garage to park my vehicle in.
