Man Saves His Trash For The Entire Year

The 35-year-old Berkeley caterer said he has saved every piece of trash he has generated over the past year to see how much garbage one person creates. In his case, it was about 96 cubic feet.

Once in a while I’ll forget trash day and end up with two weeks worth of trash and I thought that was bad. If he mad each cubic foot into an actual block and piled one on the other he’d have a pile almost 30 meters high. The container below is 27 meters long. Note the size of people by comparison.

Mark Halperin a journalist(?) at Time magazine gives advice on how to attack Senator Barack Obama,

5. Make an issue of Obama’s acknowledged drug use. 6. Allow some supporters to risk being accused of using the race card when criticizing Obama. … 11. Emphasize Barack Hussein Obama’s unusual name and exotic background through a Manchurian Candidate prism.

Inspired by the obviously high journalistic standards of Mr. Halperin a clever commenter at The Nation climed in with his own suggestions,

#12 he’s a black panther

#13 he eats with chopsticks

#14 he plans to grow an afro once in the white house

#15 all federal employees will be made to wear dashikis.

#17 - Once shot a man in Reno…just to watch him die!

# 23 - He’ll get you, my pretty…and your little dog too!

# 24 - He’s done far worse than kill you. He’s hurt you. And he wishes to go on… hurting you. He shall leave you as you left him, as you left her. Marooned for all eternity, in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive… buried alive.

#31 he’s a HIP-HOPER

#32 he’s off to see the wizard

#33 he wears ruby slippers to bed.
