Poop Is Brown

It’s with a tear in my eye that I alert you my blog readers that bastions of masculinity Siegfried & Roy… (chokes up) have announced…they’re gay! I know, I know, I can barely believe it myself. Apparently years of faking hetero-typical behaviors like donning tight sequined suits, living together & never marrying, and always being at each other’s side just became too difficult. Then again, the article says they were lovers, so maybe there’s still a chance for the ladies.

In all seriousness, really, did you have to announce that? Anyway, good for you and I hope that even thought you didn’t find a mate in each other that you still found happiness.

Kontraband has a very interesting selection of vandalized walls, billboards, & random objects that they collected here at this link. Two of my favorites are below, but please go to their site to look at all the rest. Some intriguing political & social commentary along with some that are just cute.

Yes, you read that right and no this is not an article from The Onion. In some backwards legislation, China has attempted to strong arm their Tibetan “citizens” by refusing to let them reincarnate after death without lengthy paperwork and government approval. It basically boils down to them forcing the choice of the next Dalai Lama into the hands of the Chinese authority. In protest, the current Dalai Lama has refused to be reborn in Tibet. Though he has not yet commented on his eventual birth place, it’s pretty much a given that when Tenzin Gyatso passes, the new leader of Buddhism will continue to be of Tibetan heritage. (Sorry folks, no cool saffron robes for you.) Additionally, this is going to put a bit of a kink in a 600+ year tradition of Buddhist leadership. In essence it causes there to be 2 leaders of the Buddhists: the rightful heir to be located by monks after the death of the current leader and a second Dalai Lama chosen as leader by the Chinese government. To put that in perspective, it’s kind of like if the US took control of Italy & good ol GW picked out the next pope. Not a far stretch for the imagination, I agree, but still a bit of confusion all around. In case you missed the link to the article in the first sentence, here is the link to all the juicy goodness that is retarded government at work.

I regularly visit the Postsecret site for glimpses into the secret joys, sorrows, and pecularities of people all over the world. It kind of helps me gain insight into my own quirks. I’ve definitely got a secret or two I could share, but this mini-movie done by the creator of the site is probably a better way of sharing:
