this makes me ashamed as an american, a californian, and a Christian.

stupid protest sign

"if you like foreign oil you'll love foreign food"

as i read a story online about a water protest in downtown fresno i saw a photo of that statement on a protester poster. then, as i read the print copy i noticed that the photo was front and center.

to me, the statement is ridiculous. the two things are totally unrelated, especially when you are at a rally for water in our state. whether or not the federal and state governments regulate water has nothing to do with importing oil.

seriously, the more i try and make a connection, the more my head hurts. our farmers want water. if they don't get enough water, food production will be done. and how do we make the jump to oil?

let's try the other way. i like foreign oil. so, maybe i like foreign food (which i actually do). how does this relate to california water?

can anyone help me out? am i being obtuse? does the sign make sense to anyone?

peta @ fig garden

just thought i'd put up one of pictures i took today from peta's "protest." it didn't seem like too much of a protest, and they weren't really focused on anything, or any store in particular. just holding some signs. i also thought it was a bit disengenuous that the protester only wearing skin really was also wearing undergarments. hey, if you want to be all bad and bold, go for it. but don't talk all big and not deliver. or something like that.

(or, maybe this is a shameless ploy for more blog hits by putting out terms like nude girl. maybe if it was evangeline lily, kandice, jay z's sister, candice and dustin, muffin top pants, or other terms that people have got to my blog by in the past. sorry, unlike eleanor i've never gotten a search for a self-fellating fetus*.)

*disclaimer: eleanor sometimes uses "colorful" language. in fact, that post i linked to might offend you if you. or it might not. especially if you searched for that.

video video

so, i saw an interesting story on fresno famous. there was going to be a peta protest over @ fig garden village today. they offered $5 to the first person to upload some photos to their flicker group. i thought, "i'm not doing anything @ this second, why not cruise over there and shoot a few pics?" so i hopped on the bike and did. on the way home, i thought i'd catch some video of me driving my vegas, and so i did that too. it's not the greatest, but it's interesting. there's a few seconds where i reach over with my left hand and grab the camera so it's steady.
