Tweets from the week, a hottie to brighten the weekend and a tune.
Because today is Sunday, the F1 season has begun and global warming will still be there tomorrow.

A Hottie
Formula One has started, but there are no female drivers in that series… which means it’s Danica Patrick time.
A Song
Aimee Mann is a guilty pleasure, so let’s feature her anthem to hippies distraught at the brutal regularity of the weekly round-up.
I left a comment at the “Coal Action Scotland” site. I expect it to be moderated away.
“..we just wanted to do the action safely so that no one got hurt.” My ass. I’ve got a bridge for you people.
It must be a scottish thing or something, seeing how I’m quite hostile towards hippies doing stupid things too(I have celtic ancestory), seeing how I’ve been known do very mean things to hippies that bike on highways and impede traffic. A normal biker would either go off to the shoulder and let traffic by, or bike down the side roads, and a hippie bikes in the winter time, with one of those bike carts on it, and think they’re being smug by not getting out of the way of traffic, and intentionally impeding it. people around here have done some rotton stuff like get right within inches and blare the horn, get ahead, stomp on it to kick stones, dirt, snow, and ice up from the wheels at them, flip them off and speed away, throw shit out the window at them, like cigarette butts, garbage and the occasional piss warm or scalding hot beverage. I know somebody who threw a frozen bottle of water at a hippie and wiped the bike out, because the hippie was swerving in the opposite lane intentionally to not let buddy’s truck by. What did buddy do? got ecotard to go to the left lane and quickly went right, held eco tard in the opposing lane, rolled down the window(power windows), and hucked a mostly frozen water at the ecotard’s head. How do I know it was a hippie? simple. Who bikes 10 kms(assuming he was from the closest hamlet) in minus 40 weather with a bike cart full of groceries, cutting traffic off?Hippies!..that and this bumper sticker(or so buddy claims)on the cart

Glad you enjoyed the tweet goodness, and as for F1, I’ve been glued to every race for more years than I care to remember. This weekend was bittersweet seeing ‘Lotus’ in Black and Gold again - I still own a die cast model of Ronnie Petersen’s Lotus JPS Special…
And for those who have no idea what that all means - look, a hippie squirrel.
Those first two are just oozing with awesome.
Hippies-just walking straight into the fan blades every time.
Bwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I knew I liked this blog for the GW content,but the F1 reference made my day.
Linked to your 5th link… “What would you say to someone who made $50 million in an industry in which 90 percent of his fellow union members made less than $5,000 per year?
How about someone whose last project grossed over $220 million but who hired nonunion workers to save money? Unions should be up in arms. People across the country should be protesting outside this guy’s house. Commentators like Rachel Maddow should be raining condemnation on his head in disgust over the growing gap between the wealthy and the poor in America.
He should be the left’s poster boy for all that is wrong with our country. But what if the person who does such things is Michigan’s own Michael Moore?” http://detnews.com/article/20110325/OPINION01/103250338
Tweety’s havin’ a bird!
As for the Scot’s miners, I would have expected the scene to played on Saturday Night Live rather than reality…
“We were attacked from the minute we entered the site. At no point were we confrontational or threatening, we just wanted to do the action safely so that no one got hurt. First of all huge dump trucks were deliberately driven at us and tried to box us in, then the excavator driver swung the machine’s bucket at us, blatantly disregarding all health and safety rules. Most deaths and accidents that occur on opencasts are because of how dangerous these dump trucks are. A lot of people’s lives were put at risk. We were then pounced on by workers and site security who punched us in the head repeatedly, threw us to the ground and kicked us in the back. They also stole our video camera.”
I just can’t stop laughing… you owe me a new pair of pants!!
All the best…. Jeff
