Phallic symbol? What phallic symbol?!

Hey! That's my Dunkin' Donuts! The snake runs the drive-up window, the cheap son-of-a-bitch!

The snake would look more convincing if it was wearing a condom.

I saw a young guy (acting a thirteen year-old porn adolescent) in the Algarve last week wearing the authentic Superman tunic with the 'u' missing.

I was talking to a soldier a couple of days ago who has just returned from Afghanistan. She told me that at one time about 1,5 million refugees had fled the Taliban for Pakistan. They are now going back to their homeland. However in the camps there was little to do and the returnees spent a lot of time watching Bollywood flicks They are now addicted to them to the horror of the conservative Islamic clergy.

She says the propoganda impact is greater than anything done officially because these films depict something literally beyond the average afghans imagination.

Bollywood is simply carrying on the tradition of conquest-by-film that Hollywood started back in the days of the silents. A very good case can be made that the US is the first culturally imperial power that didn't really need its military to take over the world, just "the movies".

You can't blame Bollywood for this fake-snake flick. All the actors are German, with the exception of the dancer (American) and the cobra (Canadian).

I thought Canadian Cobra was a beer...

incidentally, shere... I read somewhere today the US government was buying up the everglades (I thought they already owned it) hopefully there'll be a oil refining plant next door to 'The Swamp' in no time... that should solve those pesky vermin problems.

You mean the snake?

It's just a snake, people. Get your minds out of the gutter.

ROFLOL - I LOVE THE PHALLUS. I especially love the Xena chick that comes with it in this instance. Diamond pubic hair? Who can resist? But make no mistake, the men are sweating so much that the clip is nothing more than an older version of the power of the vagina dentata:

The Seminole Indians own the Everglades. They are the one Indian tribe the US never conquered. They kicked ass and kept on kicking it until the US finally gave up. Also the Everglades are protected under more laws than you can shake a stick at so forget the refinery or anything else.

Actually, the federally and state-protected portions of the Everglades, combined, are a tiny fraction of the Everglades ecosystem. Vast residential and commercial developments have been built on filled wetlands in what tries to be the Everglades (the areas that flood every time we get a serious rain storm.) The Seminole and Micosukee tribes own a relatively small portion of the area (and the ginormous casino.)

The Collier family (Collier County, aka Naples FL) sold an oil drilling lease near the heart of the Everglades a couple decades ago; environmentalists worked a trade among the Colliers, the state of Florida and the fed'l gov't to halt the drilling. We have a paved road-to-nowhere off of Highway 41 as a souvenir. (Note that down here, "environmentalists" is an atypically encompassing term, including the many industries that rely on clear water, clean beaches, thriving coral reefs, coastal forests, and the other tourist attractions downstream from Lake Okeechobee. The Everglades isn't a swamp; it's a river. What goes into it in central Florida spills out of it in areas hundreds of miles away and affects a lot of people's livelihoods as well as the quality of life.)

The land purchase the made news this week is of land owned by U.S. Sugar, one of the largest polluters of water that winds up the Everglades ecosystem, eventually spilling into Florida Bay, the Florida Keys marine sanctuaries, and the underground aquifer from which South Florida draws its drinking water. The purchase agreement is good news - and another sweet deal for cane growers, who have managed to stick the public with most of the cost of cleaning up the effluent of their industry.

BTW - Never assume that laws put in place to protect the environment do so without constant public scrutiny. Few things are as malleable as the state and municipal master plans that are supposed to protect South Florida's natural resources, tourism and fishing industries from runaway development. The development boundary pushes farther into the Everglades every time some bigwig writes a check.

They don't call us the Land of the Midnight Bulldozers for nothing.
