Well, it's official. America is no longer the number one country in the world. We just are not good enough and we need to start realizing that. Why my sudden change of heart about America's awesomeness?

Simple. China can control the weather!

I was reading some news on the Yahoo, and then I came across this story.

Meteorologists dispatched eight planes to release rain dispersal chemicals and fired 241 rockets into incoming clouds to ensure a dry Beijing Olympics closing ceremony, state media said Monday.

Somehow, someway, when we were not looking China developed a way to rule the very forces of nature. Why are the politicians not mentioning this? This is an election year, isn't this an important topic to discuss? Are they perhaps frightened knowing the great power that the Chinese now hold?

What do you think they are going to do with their power? So far they made good weather at the Olympics; what's next? I bet they have a national picnic day and you know it will be sunny that day.

Are there any downsides to their control of weather? If they stop the rain in one place does it rain harder in another? If they call down the rain does that cause a drought somewhere else? Will they just use this power for benign purposes or is something deeper, darker afoot? Something to think about.

The Democrats are having their convention this week. This means they now have the opportunity to step up on the national stage and totally fuck up. Yeah, they are going to fight amongst themselves and backbite and act like shmucks when what they should do is pull together to take on McCain. Oh. By the way, supposedly Joe Biden is going to be Obama's running mate. I say--What?

Why, when they need to stress change and doing things in new ways do they pick a guy who's face is next to the work "insider"? They could have picked a ballsy candidate instead they go safe. I don't just mean someone of color or a female; they just went for the easy choice. I guess the bosses who control everything got a little bit nervous about Obama and are putting the person they really want in the job into the second spot. I wonder if he will end up running the show like Dick Cheney did?

Shit. I just talked about politics again didn't I? I promised myself I would stop that and start talking about fun and interesting things. I don't know what those are yet but hey I will try to find them because I just care that much.

The kiddies are starting to go back to school. When I was in school I don't remember ever going back before the end of August. Usually we went back after Labor Day. Then on the first day of school we would go out for ice cream. If I ever have kids I will do the same for them.

Shit, and now I want ice cream. But I want Chinese food more. Go figure. I haven't had Chinese for awhile because every time I have it, it makes me sick. Maybe I should try a different Chinese place? I don't know. The place I get it from has good eggrolls so I go there. I like the eggrolls. Laterzzz...
