Louis CK just totally made me feel like a d!ck. My whole blogging life is dedicated to the idea that the future is going to be so much more amazing than the present, but Louis points out things are pretty amazing already.

One step closer to a better world....
Wouldn't life be better if we had a cure for AIDs, cure for cancer, and a way to combine bubble wrap and calendars?
Wait a minute....What's that sound coming from an office down the hall....hmmm....
Whoa!

Saddlebacking Defined!
I’m a devoted Dan Savage Sex Column reader over at the Village Voice. A month ago Dan answered this question…
Dear Dan: Is "saddleback" a sex act? If not, can you define it as one? Or if it is, can you popularize it? Each time I hear about Rick Warren, I can't get past the name of his church. - Jeffy Lube
Stephen Colbert joked on his show that "saddleback" was a sex act, but he didn't define it. So I guess we'll have to. Suggested definitions can be sent to saddleback@savagelove.net.

He published a few of his favorite answers on January 13th. Click on the link below if you want to read them…and yes you might be offended. I personally voted for #4.

And finally, on Tuesday, January 27th, Dan defined the term (and why it’s a ridiculous idea and dangerous act) here…
http://www.villagevoice.com/2009-01-28/columns/why-do-men-wear-socks-in-porn-plus-saddlebacking-defined/2
AND gave it a website!

I think this man is brilliant, and I am going to try and use this word whenever I can.

Guerrilla Environmentalism
"I've been an environmentalist for pretty much all my life and done all the things that you're supposed to do that are supposed to lead toward change... I've marched and held signs. I've volunteered in national parks. I've written letters and signed petitions...Ultimately, I felt like those things were only mildly effective. And it was having a very tiny effect on a very large problem"
- Tim DeChristopher, a University of Utah Economics student who joined a Bureau of Land Management auction in Utah and raised prices on thousands of acres of federal land up for sale (to oil companies), and won 22,000 acres himself. He was forced out of the auction by federal agents and faces federal charges (which haven't been specified...). As a result of his actions, the land he won can't be put back on sale until after the Obama administration takes office (provided he can't pay the $1.3 million pricetag), effectively taking it off the market. He's raised over $45, 000 on the Internet in a bid (no pun intended) to keep the land.
The BLM announced the sale of over 149,000 acres of federal land in the Northwest on November 4th (Election Day), and set an auction date for a little over 6 weeks later, which is unprecedented in land auction history. Environmentalists say this was an obvious attempt by the Bush administration to help out their friends in the oil industry before leaving office.
