St. Louis prepares for the All Star Games

Remember that empty, gravel lot that sits next to today's Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis? I sure do. It was supposed to be the site of a 300mil development known as "Ballpark Village." In a bold move, and at the last possible second before the upcoming All Star Games, St. Louis and the Cardinals are finally doing something with that vacant eyesore. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, after nearly three years of completion of the new Busch Stadium, we are getting a SOFTBALL FIELD and PARKING LOT!!! It's really nice to see that the city of St. Louis is putting it's best foot forward and making sure its residents don't have anything to be ashamed of during such time of nation-wide attention as the All Star Games....

Ken Kesey Quotes

“You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things.”

“The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”

“I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph.”

''I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower.'' ''Oh yeah, well I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower TWICE!''

Turtle Fucking a Shoe

Yesterday, if you would have told me that you had a video of a turtle fucking a shoe, I'd say you're crazy, and no such thing existed in this world. Today, I would have to respectfully yeild to your insane ideals.

Former Governor says F**k it, I'll write a book

Former governor of Illinois, Rod Blatantlyingsonofabitch is still hanging on to that one last invisible shred of credibility he has left. Taking a cue from such fantastic authors as OJ Simpson, Blago plans on writing a book consisting largely of claims of "no I didn't!" in response to the state of Illinois' thunderous "yes you did!" Rumors have circulated that the ousted "leader" also has plans to spend every waking minute trying to find the REAL person that accepted bribes while in the highest office in the state.
