Riviting Reads: With McCain's Health in Question, is Palin Eyeing for the Top Spot, and How Desperate Will She Get in Hopes Of Getting It?

I have often questioned McCain's health and the fact that the topic is constantly swept under the mat and filed under "irrelevant". Here is a great opinion piece, by the NYT's Frank Rich, about McCain's well-being, and whether or not his running mate is indeed vying for the top spot.

Palin's desire to become the country's lead heroine is clear, from beauty pageant ambitions in the 80s, to the accidental verbal slip-up of declaring this as the Palin/McCain administration last month, instant celebrity with little toil is obviously her preferred method.

In the coming weeks I'm interested in seeing how desperate and venomous the attacks will become, and after seeing today's headline of "Palin connects Obama to 60's terrorist radical", I guess I wont have to wait very long. Converse.

Designer Thomas Feichtner's Filio Ring

Feichtner's ring is hollow and made out of steel. It resembles a geometrically cut gemstone. This blog is getting really design-oriented lately. I promise more politics and all around crazy republicaness this weekend.

Night Vision 2.0

When I was 18 I worked like a slave in my ex-girlfriend's father's hellish warehouse. In the mundane month spent there, my job was to fold and box his bogus night vision goggles. Not only did I suffer numerous paper cuts, get food poisoning from the food truck while my ex-gf's Dad went out to lunch without an invite(way to show me the values of hard work douche), but I also had to listen to his annoying brat son (who appeared as Jared the cougar-loving twit on Housewives of the O.C.) spew never-ending nonsense.
Oh well, story short, the Dad was later arrested for beating his wife after his affair with S.F. Giant's pitcher, Barry Zito, sister was exposed. His son also recieved two D.U.I.'s that summer and was rewarded with a Desert Eagle Handgun for his 21st birthday.

Gotta love republicans!

Oh, I almost forgot--these are called the Cyclops and they are pretty insane.

New Chrysler side company introduces the Peapod

A company called GEM, which was founded by Chrysler in 1999, debuted an Electric car called the Peapod recently. The zero-emissions vehicle will be put into production next year and will come complete with ergonomic seating and I-pod integration. 

The car will have a 30 mile range per charge, with a top speed of 25 miles per hour. Recharge time is 6-8 hours. 

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. 

Airport Security Fun!

We all know that going through Airport security(especially the intellectually inept one at LAX, that seemingly only hires screaming jerks that find speaking at the decibel level of a Who concert normal) is a tad frustrating.

That's why artist Evan Roth is currently creating pieces, that when placed in carry-on luggage and scanned, give the guards a change from the normal vibrator/whip and chain set that's normally seen in most Republican Senator's baggage.
