Early Happy Hour : Staples, Lebanon, Casting Call and Roy's Taxi closes and more

Only 2:30 and already I'm bored with the day...

  • The Statesman has a couple good articles up about the ménage à trois between Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah which can be summed up as follows: Lebanon is interested only in a cease fire that has the Israeli's leaving Lebanon, Israel balks and Hezbollah is buying candy for the little Lebanese kids. Tie it altogether and much like President Bush in 2003 with Iraq, the Israelis have pissed off a neighbor they should be working with and allowed their enemy to win the hearts and minds of the civilian populace.

    Let me say that I support Israel's right to defend itself. However, it goes without saying that the way they have prosecuted this conflict is nothing short of retarded.

    Even Bush get's it...

    Bush said any cease-fire must prevent Hezbollah from strengthening its grip in southern Lebanon, asserting that "it's time to address root causes of problems." He urged the United Nations to work quickly to approve a U.S.-French draft resolution to stop the hostilities.

    I know, I know... if he'd only been that clever a couple of years ago.

  • Live in Austin Metro? Wanna be in a family movie? If you, unlike me, have some concept of what that means then check this out.

  • Roy's Taxi, the Dollar General of Austin taxi companies, is going out of business... I never really thought they were that bad, though the cabs were ugly as hell.

  • Photobucket - Video and Image HostingMessage to Garder Selby... Stayhorn is popular in Travis County as well (basically, everywhere but around the Capital where all those R foreigners work). Still doesn't mean she's going to win. However, if her media strategy involves TV that has her doing anything BUT being a giant, she's got a hell of a shot.


  • Delay to support a write-in? Could the R's get any more lame?

    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

    Shit... I stand corrected. Sorry, I forgot about him
