State Farm Won't Replace Your Car in the Event of a Nuclear Attack
Got my Morning Fix this morning (nice when it works that way instead of at like four in the afternoon) and was greeted by this article SFGate: And No Deductible For Nuclear Winter.
Basically, State Farm sent out mailers to their customers in California that their vehicles aren't covered in the event of a nuclear attack. Um, not sure but I think I'm going to have one hell of a lot more important things on my mind if the US is hit with a nuclear weapon than getting my 22 year old car back on the road.
But State Farm did wish everyone well in the event of a nuclear attack although I've no idea what that means really. What? Die in the initial blast or die slowly of radiation poisoning like Jason Robards in "The Day After" though I enjoyed watching Steve Gutenberg die in the movie, not sure why really. But State Farm hopes you survive to buy more insurance from them in the post apocalyptic world.

A Morford Quote
Because I so like his writing I'm quoting Mark Morford directly here "In increasingly jaded and numb America, ya gotta go for shock. The biggest. The scariest. The wildest. The dumbest. The most sugary or fatty or creepy or quadruple beef triple bacon double cheese chiliburger with deep-fried cheese sauce only 99 cents while supplies last. It is all about excess, violent and deadly and mean. And apparently, it is what we are (still) all about." He sums up much of what I feel about the Extreming of America. Unless you're going balls out, buck naked down a ski hill with your butt hair on fire, its just not enough to warrant anything more than a yawn from the over jaded fat masses of America. Thanks Mark, for putting into words those things I already thought.

Crass Blog Plug
I'm starting to ramp up posts to my newest blog, The Spammies in which I'm posting the dumbest, funniest or most disgusting spams I'm getting on a daily basis. More and more will be added to the site, like how to piss of spammers, how to get off lists and how to hunt down spammers and eat their livers with some fava beans and a nice chianti. I'd love some feedback on the site and input or suggestions for spam to highlight.
