So funny yet so wrong

Celestial Fireworks
Like a July 4 fireworks display, a young, glittering collection of stars looks like an aerial burst. The cluster is surrounded by clouds of interstellar gas and dust—the raw material for new star formation. The nebula, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina, contains a central cluster of huge, hot stars, called NGC 3603.
See? Even the Universe celebrated our Day of Independence

Two things I take from these images. First, I really wish those Yankee mother fuckers from New England would quit moving to Houston. Second, as many people fleeing LA you’d think it was on fire.
Of Dung Beatles, Tin Kings, and Would-Be Gods…
This has been a crazy week at Casa de Aggie. Last week of school, and several guests coming to town have left me very frazzled. Mix in the news this week, and you would swear there’s a Zombie Rod Serling about.
To start, we have “Sir” Paul McCartney in country to receive the Gershwin Prize for music. According to the WaPo, it was a fantastic party at the White House, complete with serenades to the First Lady, and covers of his music from long ago. Apparently, Sir Mac decided his title makes him qualified to comment on US politics:
After thanking the Library of Congress one last time, he let it rip: “After the last eight years, it’s good to have a president that knows what a library is.”
Really? So, George W. Bush, who is married to a librarian, doesn’t know what a library is? The same man that had reading contests with Karl Rove?? I have news for you, Macca: just because a prez can read from a teleprompter doesn’t make him well-read. Of course, that astute observation came from a man too stupid to think of a pre-nup with Heather Mills.
Next up we have James “King of Pandora” Cameron. He remarked at the All Things Digital conference that he offered his assistance to British Petroleum. When BP turned him down, he got his tin crown all bent out of shape:
“Over the last few weeks I’ve watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what’s happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don’t know what they’re doing,” Cameron said.
He “declined” to explain who he meant by “morons.” Newsflash: just because you have filmed underwater in a tin can doesn’t give you the expertise to work in this area. Not that it stops him from participating in an EPA brainstorming meeting on how to stop the oil spill. Because Hollywood is soooo realistic, you know.
And finally, we come to the heartbreak of the week: The Goron, almighty priest of Carbon Come, is going through a separation after forty years of marriage. The rumor mill is spinning fast on this, but I believe this encapsulates my feelings best:

….and Austin, TX, too. Seriously, why the hell are you boycotting Arizona? Was the IOU machine out of order?? Los Angeles voted 15 to 1 to boycott AZ and cancel contracts worth $7.7 million. Meanwhile, asshats in Austin, TX decided to follow suit. Did they care that the majority of people in both cities are in support of SB 1070? Of course not. If they think this boycott is going to hurt Arizona, think again. Where do Los Angelinos get their electricity? Hmmm?? As for Arizona, here is their answer:
Creatively borrowed from Lemur King, who acquired it from McGoo, who swiped it from Exurban League.
