If you would be willing to work in a building that stretches a mile into the sky. A Saudi billionaire is planning to build a “mega-skyscraper” in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It would be “taller than four Empire State Buildings stacked upon each other”.

Hmm. One has to wonder what this guy was doing back in September of 2001. Playing golf? Ummm…sailing around the Adriatic? Perhaps trying to extract his head from his ass. You put an enormous ego together with an endless supply of cash and you end up with men that have nothing better to do but try an outdo themselves in erecting monstrosities that become eyesores and invitations for madmen to fly jetliners right into them. Talk about compensating for a small penis. One guys buys a monster truck, another guy builds a mile high building. Which one has the smaller wang?

And who would have the balls to work on the upper floors of this place? You gotta know that sooner or later it’s all going to come tumbling down, right? The Tower of Babel may have been just some tall tale in the Bible for some, but, I mean, it kind of makes sense after a while. Instead of a tall, tall building, why don’t you, oh, I don’t know, feed the entire country of Ethiopia?

You wanna know why I wouldn’t want to work in a building that tall? I have a tendency to leave things in my car that I often times have to run out and get when I am at work. Imagine getting to the top floor and saying, “Oh, shit! I left my lunch in the Honda!” By the time I got back to my car I am pretty sure I would say, “*uck it” and go home. The article says that they have these super-speed elevators they would use that could get you from the bottom floor to the top in about two minutes. That doesn’t comfort me much. A belt breaks or a wire is left dangling and that sumbitch could go flying right through the roof or crash into Hades. The elevator at my job broke once while a lady was still inside of it. She ended up going to the hospital. An elevator breaks in this building and they’re getting you off the floor with a mop and a squeegee.

It would be hypocritical of me to say that I wouldn’t do something outlandish with my money if I was worth $23 billion dollars. It just seems to me that these guys could come up with something a little more original than building taller and taller slabs of concrete.

I’m gonna miss Obama Girl

as Clinton ran hers. Intelligence and wit plays so much better than common fear-mongering.

that Barack Obama attended the same church with the same minister for seventeen years and never heard anything similar to the exhortations that the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is seen making in the videos that have deluged multitudes of news sources over the past day. I can’t be critical of other politicians like Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton and John McCain and simply overlook such a glaring blemish on what has otherwise been a nearly squeaky clean campaign.

Whether everything the reverend said in his sermons was completely wrong or mendacious is up to the individual viewing the sermon. The same could be said about the statements made by Geraldine Ferraro or the newsletters written by someone who used to be connected in some way with Ron Paul or the homophobic and anti-Islamic bombast of Reverend John Hagee. One man’s truth is another man’s mendacity.

However, the statements made by Reverend Wright can be particularly cancerous to the campaign of Senator Obama. So far, the race for the democratic nomination has been rife with fear-mongering, the majority (if not all) of which have been directed at Senator Obama — the 3 AM phone call commercial, the photographs circulated that show Senator Obama wearing African garb that, to the already skittish, pushes the anxiety of so many Americans in regards to terrorism and Muslims to the edge. And the email circulated months ago that depicted Obama as completely un-American in that he did not place his hand on his heart during the national anthem and that he was a part of an anti-American movement orchestrated by Islamic extremists. These videos that have surfaced of Reverend Wright have given those who wish to see Senator Obama go away plenty of ammunition. They have given those who are already skeptical of Obama, those who choose to believe that he is really an undercover extremist even more reason to avoid him by any means necessary.

Reverend Wright is no longer a part of the Obama campaign, but thanks to CNN, MSNbc, Fox and every other news station, magazine or blog, the memory of Reverend Wright and his fiery rhetoric could last and distract all the way into the upcoming, arduous campaign summer.

As exciting as all this election stuff has been, I’m ready for the never ending story of the race for the Democratic nomination to come to a close.

According to former VP hopeful Geraldine Ferraro, the only reason Barack Obama has made it as far as he has in this presidential race is because he is a black man.

Ferraro says:

If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept

Apparently, black is the new white. Who knew?

Someone alert the Klan.
