#1 – The Smash Shack
Outside of the pure wastefulness of it, this is just unmitigated brilliance. Sarah's Smash Shack in San Diego is just that ... a place to go and break stuff without having to clean it up or lose a family heirloom to anger. Genius this woman! Had a really bad day? Awful break-up? Mad at your boss? For $45 you get a stack of 15 plates to hurl at a wall! Hell, there's a whole menu of items to buy and break ... and they even have a "bring your own" deal. Or, bring in a photo of that jerkwad who broke your heart, slide it in a frame from the Shack and let it fly! I freaking love that someone is actually making money with this, and let's be honest, people need to channel that rage somewhere so, why not.
#2 – Drive-thru Democracy
This is indeed a fine, fine nation we live in, folks, where – at least in Santa Ana, CA – you can do your civic duty without leaving the comfort of you automobile. That's right .... drive-thru voting! I love it. I mean, leave it to us lazy ass Americans to come up with something so very convenient, but still ... drive up to that machine, punch in your selections and cruise on down the road. And unlike our million other drive-thrus, this one won't make you gain weight!
#3 – What Soul
Fish sent me a link to some beautiful photos earlier of Obama on the campaign trail. The images, taken by photojournalist Callie Shell over the past few years, speak volumes about how real, how amazing and how truly dedicated Obama is. My favorite one is above. With all of the reports of the "Hockey Mom's" recent shopping sprees ($150K on clothes? Yeah, that's middle class America right there) I love love love this pic of the holes in the soles of his shoes. The caption said that he's already had them re-soled once since he entered the race. That's the kind of man I want working for our country. This series of pics is on The Digital Journalist and be sure to keep hitting the "Show More Images" link because there are so many wonderful ones.
