1.) Most of the hot guys are gay
2.) Most of the straight guys are assholes
3.) Sex and the City

Life. Sigh.

The lady who said we are doomed if this is how we are going to deal with obesity with kids? Hell, we have been doomed long before that happened. It started with people sitting on their asses all day at work and then sitting on their asses all night at home.

But does this mean our 4 year olds will be shooting up steroids after having cookies and milk? Or should we ask, "Is it better to take steroids before or after your afternoon nappy?"

Alas, in our Bizarro World, it will ellicit little more than a shrug from the MSM, face-deforming spinning from the Administration and the Right Wing, and vigorous, albeit ineffectual hand-wringing from Congress.

Meanwhile the rest of us are left with little else to do about it but shake our heads sadly and say, "we told you so", or, stand on street corners and shout into megaphones about the revolutionary power of the color orange.

Seriously, Will somebody convince George Soros to offer shrub about ten Gazillion dollars to sit on the plank of a dunk tank filled with Jalapenio juice after he leaves office (I hear he's looking to "refill the coffers" once he retires), so the entire fucking nation can stand in line to throw softballs at 3 for a buck? I swear, we'd erase the national deficit in about six months.

Looks like DC Democrats and Republicans are united in defeating their common enemy: Democratic voters!

Who says that bipartisanship is dead?

Ciscoe Morris, host of KING-TV's "Gardening with Ciscoe," will perform an educational puppet show, "Eek, Squish, Splat!" at 1 p.m. to inform kids and adults about the world of bugs.

Event Preview

Bug Blast, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Sunday, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Northeast 45th Street and 17th Avenue Northeast, Seattle; $8, $6.50 for seniors, $5 for students/youth, free for kids 4 and younger (206-543-5590 or www.burkemuseum.org).

Live bugs and bug-eating plants! A chance to tell your friends you ate a bug this weekend and lived to tell about it!

If this sounds like fun to you, head on over to the eighth annual Bug Blast on Sunday at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle. "Every year we bring in a certain type of bug that's edible and full of protein," says MaryAnn Barron, museum spokeswoman, who describes the experience as "crunchy."

The museum will have its own collection of bugs ranging from butterflies, spiders, beetles, moths, stick bugs and more [will bees bee inkluded?], both dead and alive. Private collections will also be on display. Kids can choose from many hands-on activities, including bug glasses, bug drawings, trivia and art. An educational puppet show, "Eek, Squish, Splat!" at 1 p.m. performed by Ciscoe Morris, host of KING-TV's "Gardening With Ciscoe," will inform kids and adults about the wonderful world of bugs.

"It's a nice balance of community, collections and bugs," says Barron.
