Maybe you’ve been following the story about Enrico Ponzo, the Idaho rancher who after more than a decade of incompetent cattle breeding was exposed as a wanted gangster from Boston. Federal marshals tracked him down and busted him last month. The March 10 Times story paraphrased one of his Idaho buddies, Kelly Verceles, as saying that he was determined to view Ponzo only as the person he knew in Idaho. Well, fasten your seatbelts, because Verceles was just arrested for jackhammering through the foundation in Ponzo’s Idaho home, using a blowtorch to open a safe and stealing more than $100,000 in cash. The plot thickens.
Incompetent cattle breeding? Sounds like a Ponzo scheme.
— Aldous Huxley (Brave New World)
After spending weeks doing literary analysis on this book, I’ve decided it’s one of the greatest things ever written and I love it to death.

Lights Out: “Tower 37 siphons every drop of water from a once-pristine lake, that is, until the station’s steward realizes that it is slowly destroying an entire ecosystem.”

I can only assume Mike Tomlin’s girlfriend broke up with him last night?
In the dark, with Ben Roethlisberger, listening to Phil Collins? That’s a lot of terror packed into one mental image.
Please god tell me it was “Sussudio.”

Of Note of the Day: According to CNN, there is snow on the ground right now in 49 states, with Florida being the only exception. How unusual is this? “This is extremely unusual,” says CNN, “though it’s hard to put a date on when this last happened because records aren’t kept on this kind of event.”
Actually, Google tells me that this last happened exactly 11 months ago, with the only difference being that the holdout then was Hawaii. A USA Today article reporting on the phenomenon in 2010 quoted weather service meteorologist Brian Korty as saying that “it’s extremely rare to have so many states with snow.”

Somewhere, in a bar, Al Gore is drinking a beer. Soon, a man wearing a “Git-R-Done” trucker hat will approach him, buy him a beer, then say “global warming, huh?”

Proops: Do you have a favorite author?
Audience Member: Uhh.. In college it was Rand.
Proops: Ayn (Anne) Rand? And you’ve come to this? I love it. This is a meeting of the minds! In college it was Ayn Rand, and then what? You woke up and realized that you wasted fucking hours of your life reading her bullshit diatribes?
AM: It’s pronounced Ayn (aɪn), and—
Proops: Whatever.
AM: I’ve evolved a little, I don’t love her.
Proops: Yeah.
AM: She has some good points.
Proops: What were her good points?
AM: [Awkward Laughter]
Proops: You brought it up.
AM: Uhhm…
Proops: You said she had good points.
AM: Efficiency.
Proops: My goodness. That’s a marvelous point. You’re right about that.
This sounds like one of my break-ups. If you could even call it a relationship in the first place. But either way I called Atlas Shrugged “an unrealistic, delusionary, free market capitalist wet dream that gave me more brain damage than the one time I accidentally read an issue of the National Enquirer at the doctor’s office.” He told me to “get the fuck out of the house.” I think I won than argument, thank you very much.
an idea for your next movie marathon: the “diaries trilogy”
- the motorcycle diaries
- the basketball diaries
- the princess diaries
when you are done watching all three you can have a discussion about the relative diaryness of each movie. the evening will be a smash success. your guests will wet kiss you.
