Will the United States Cease to Exist?

Like a lot of people, I read the Drudgereport almost every day. Sometimes two or three times a day. In my opinion, it has all the relevant news that's fit to read from pretty substantial and verifiable news sources.

In any event, I came across this Drudge post about a leading Russian political analyst who believes our country is heading for collapse - and will divide into separate parts.

The article is brief, but interesting nonetheless. It looks like Cormac McCarthy's vision may be coming to fruition in the United States.

All I can say is that I'm glad that I took those hunter-safety courses when I was little. Because I know how to load, clean and shoot any type of gun not to mention field dress an animal for proper cooking.

Hell, if things turn out, I'll be more useful in this new world than a CEO of a major corporation.

Then, when order is restored, I can resume my copywriting career in my late 80's.

Cool. I've been thinking about changing careers anyhow.

Hunter and Gatherer will look awesome on my resume.

Mysterious Lights in Arizona....Again!

Everyone's heard about the 'strange light formations' that appeared in the Arizona sky in the Spring of 1997, right?

No? Well, here's a video,



To quote Carol Ann from the hit film Poltergeist 2.... "They're back!"

In a story from KNXV-TV Channel 10 in Phoenix, Arizona, last night there were numerous reports about similar interesting light formations which seemed to mimic the Star Destroyer from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (The above link also lets you click on an amateur video of last night's light show, but first you have to sit through a :30 second commercial.)

I'm not sure what to make of this. Is this the beginning of the End of Days with Arnold Schwarzenegger? Are the aliens trying to recreate Spielberg's Close Encounters of The Third Kind with Camelback Mountain in place of Devil's Tower? Are people in Arizona forming mountains of mashed potatoes into crude starships and mountain ranges screaming "This means something. This is important?" Can I possibly make one more movie reference before this post ends?

Who knows!

All I know is that this story (first found on Drudgereport.com) made this boring Tuesday morning just a little bit more interesting.

Not put that in your milkshake and drink it.

A Couple Links For You

I thought I'd share some web sites that I've been checking out.

So I'm 35 years old, what do I have to look forward to as I near my 40's? According to this story I found on the DrudgeReport: DEPRESSION!

A graphic designer I work with is an avid photographer. A couple days ago, he was showing me some photos from a defunct amusement park near Medina (the name escapes me right now). In any event, I was searching around and came across this site which features defunct amusements parks around the country. Cool shots. Makes me want to go find some of these.

I stumbled upon this dude's web site by accident, but it's pretty damn interesting. As it turns out, he visits odd places around the world and writes about them including an entry on the mysterious Mothman in Point Pleasant, Ohio. He must be loaded to afford all this travel time.

If you're fan of great political cartoons, go check out Jim Borgman's cartoon blog for the Cincy Enquirer. It's loaded with, pretty much, all of his political cartoons from day one. You may recognize his style. He also draws the cartoon ZITS with writer Jerry Scott.

I've been looking for this Cheeto's commercial forever on YOUTUBE. I can't believe I finally found it. My brother and I knew this commerical by heart and used to tape different versions and voiceovers on this old tape-recorder and play them back. And laugh. And laugh. And laugh.

To add to that, this Enjoli commercial also brings back a ton of childhood memories when we used to watch soap operas with my mom.

Wow! Wasn't that fun? Who knows. Maybe this could be a monthly post.

The Human Race Will Split In Two.

I came across this article in Britain's Daily Mail that states 100,000 years in the future, the human race will split into two distinct species.

I totally agree with this article. However, I think it's going to happen in a lot less time. 99,999 years less time, to be exact.

Anyone that's seen the movies Gattaca, Code 46, The Time Machine or even Michael Bay's crapfest The Island will understand this phenomenom. Hell, if you've picked up a copy of Popular Science, Wired or even read the Drudgereport in the past decade, you'll understand what's going on.

In the next 10 to 20 years, the rich and wealthy will be able to hire scientists to screw with their unborn child's DNA strand to create the perfect specimen.

After the spawn squirts out of rich mum's belly (or a incubator), the parents will set them up for life by placing them in the best schools, with the best teachers, dentists, coaches and doctors to ensure a pristine, perfect, high-tiered life full of possibilities and free of disease.

On the other end of the spectrum, you'll have the poor. They'll mate the old-fashioned way and simply have normal or abnormal children that look like the cast from The Hills Have Eyes. Bad acne. Big foreheads. Rotten teeth. In-grown toenails. Boogers. Wisdom teeth. And lets not forget diseases such as Super Chicken Pox and UberMonoHepatitis.

These second-class citizens will be put into detainment, refugee camps and be forced to work for the rich man and make peanuts in the process. Eventually, some will escape and live in the caves like the creatures from The Descent.

Come to think of it, it seems like it's starting to happen right now. And the lines are being drawn by where we shop.

In August, I wrote an entry about the difference between Walmart and Target shoppers.

Now for some homework.

Take a day off work and drop by both stores for an hour or two. Go ahead. Take a stroll. Write down some notes. Hell, maybe purchase an item or two.

See what I mean? Now, I hope you can understand why I think the so-called species split will happen a lot faster than 100,000 years.

On a selfish note, I can only hope that my future DNA (Pearl Jam, Baby Batter, White Butter) will eventually spread to the other side of the fence if you know what I mean.

I, for one, don't want the Eimer name to be synonomous with the houselves from the Harry Potter or Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.
