Okay. You know something is effed up when you see a headline that reads, "Arizona offers an escape from heat wave." Escape!? From the heat!? What the H!?

From LA Weekly: No one explained why better than the Simon Wiesenthal Center's dean and founder, Rabbi Marvin Hier, when he told me in an interview this week from Israel, where he was handing out funds for aid and shelter to Israelis, including Israeli Arabs: "Look, the issue with Mel Gibson is very simple. Mel Gibson is driving under intoxication. There are no Jews in sight. He can blame his car, he can blame his liquor, and he can blame the sheriff. But he can't blame any Jews, because there are none around. That's precisely who he blames. Yet that's the problem. That shows he has a problem with Jews. And there's an old Yiddish saying, which loses a lot in translation, 'What someone drunk has on his tongue comes from his conscience when he is not drunk.' "

Lately, I am completely obsessed with the song "Only" by Nine Inch Nails. I've downloaded three versions and listen to them over and over and over.

Someone says I'm also completely obsessed with MySpace. Hmpf. Whatever. (Okay, so like as of this writing, I like totally have like 40 friends, like OMG! My goal is to like get more friends than like Dane Cook.)

At work today, I got an email that said, "YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you!!!!!!!!" Normally overuse of exclamation points give me hives but I think in this case it's completely justified.

And finally a shameless plug for my birthday which is in one week. Feel free to shower me with love and adoration next Thursday. (Get your mind out of the gutter CW.) Overuse of exclamation points is acceptable for that as well.

Bonus points to anyone who knows where the title of this post comes from...without Googling it.
