I've Been Obsessed With This For A Week

I've been to San Francisco, Seattle, Miami Beach and Washington D.C. I've toured the unspoiled coastline of southern California, and checked out the Cohen residence in the O.C. I've seen glaciers in Alaska and witnessed for myself the oddity that is Area 51. I've raced down the interstate, heading south for the border, watching the farms and truck stops fly by. I've stopped by my former girlfriends' houses, gone back to my old camp, and took a spin around my old high school-- without being seen as one of those "weird kids" who still hangs out around his old high school.

All in one day.

All without leaving my chair.

How was it possible? A new time machine/teleportation device?

No.

Google.

Google Maps, to be precise. Google Satellite Maps, to be even more precise. Its the biggest time waster since Snood, and I've been touring the country, dropping in on unsuspecting friends' houses, and imagining statewide car chases ever since I discovered it.

Click this, then click "satellite" Enjoy

Ever wanna shoot someone first and ask questions later?

Well the state of Florida, home to the nation's largest population with failing eyesight, is about to approve a bill saying that you can shoot just about anybody you perceive as threatening.

KKK Member: I didn't want to shoot him officer, but he was just so black, I was scaaarrrred.

Officer: That's ok, it's perfectly understandable.

Read the article here: Florida Loves Guns

It's funny, Jeb Bush loves life so much, he'll step in to save Terri Schiavo and approve gun-toting maniac legislation within a span of a couple weeks. Only in America, right?

Shoot first, ask questions later.

Now that's "erring on the side of life."
