You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
A collection of headlines that invoke the Gil Scott-Heron song found via a Google search using the term “The Revolution Will”.
Mock not. As the regime shut down other forms of communication, Twitter survived.
Mock on, says I.
There has been a lot of hype in recent days that the events taking place in Iran constitute a “Twitter revolution,” and it’s easy to understand why many people might see it that way.
An instant classic for a new generation of monkey-wrenching food activists.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE NON-PROFIT INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ON REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT BUILDING?
The good news is the Web 3.0 revolution is only beginning.

Police knew something wasn’t quite right after they spotted a man driving a piece of construction lift equipment down a street at 3 a.m. on Thursday.
So far, so good. Nice work Mountlake Terrace P.D. A guy driving a lift, down a street at 3:00 in the morning; something ain’t right.
The man, who apparently had been drinking,…
Didn’t see that coming.
…was in the lift bucket of the Genie Boom…
Just to put this in perspective;
…with an unopened six-pack of beer and a bag of beef jerky when police pulled the vehicle over.
Nice. A guy’s going to get hungry and it makes sense to be prepared because once you’re in the bucket, you don’t want to stop until the job is done.
He was clocked at 2 mph.
That sounds a little screwy there. These guys actually clocked him? Can they produce a read out in court?
At first the 29-year old man told police he was just going to the store. But when they asked him why he was in the bucket on the lift, he said he was delivering the $20,000 piece of construction equipment on a dare from a stranger he met on Craigslist, according to a police report.
Hunh!!??
See, if you’re caught drunk driving a bucket lift, at 3 a.m., on the streets, with beer in your possession, and beef jerky; why not just say, “O.K. you got me”. “Throw the book at me”. Don’t bust out with, “I was going to the store”. I mean, that’s really more than enough right there.
But, Craigslist! Are you kidding me, Craigslist! Some guy I met on Craigslist dared me to do it! Man, even if that’s true, if there is a chance in hell that’s true, you got to keep that to yourself.
From time to time, I see these stories about someone who had an accident or got arrested and they have an enormously, outrageously, unbelievably, high blood-alcohol level. I guess I get some kind of perverse kick out of these tales because I always look.
I have also done a little research to see what is the highest recorded BAC of all time. There is a lot of dispute over this as there appears to be no global governing authority on drunk as a skunk, drunker than Cooder Brown, ripped to the tits, pissed as a potter or, high enough to go duck hunting with a rake.
Today’s contestant in the intoxication sweepstakes comes from Breitbart/AFP.
A motorist stopped by Bulgarian police after a minor traffic accident admitted he had drunk 20 litres of beer — and promptly passed out, bTV television reported Monday.
The man had a blood alcohol reading more than double the level usually considered lethal.
The 25-year old driver, who was not named, registered 0.851 blood alcohol content. Bulgaria’s legal limit is 0.05 percent, and 0.40 is often fatal.
.851!!! Damn!!! That’s a big number there 25-year old Bulgarian motorist. By the way, these liquored up losers are always over the level that is normally considered lethal. And, there is no consensus on that either.
Anyway, I was thinking to myself that 0.851, that’s got to be among the highest BAC’s I’ve seen. It does seem like I’ve seen at least one in that same ballpark. And, wait a minute, it also seems that there was one of these “record holders” that was another besotted Bulgarian.
Yep, I was right. A little Googling and I found this CBC article from, January 4, 2005.
The 67-year-old man landed in hospital on Dec. 20 after a car knocked him off his feet in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, police and doctors said Tuesday.
A breath test indicated blood-alcohol levels so high that police thought their equipment was broken, because the man remained conscious and talked with them.
The head of Plovdiv police, Col. Angel Rangelov, said five separate lab tests taken the same day confirmed the man’s blood-alcohol level of 0.914.
A blood-alcohol level of 0.55 is considered potentially fatal.
Whoa! 0.914!!! Guess what 25-year old Bulgarian motorist; your 20 litres of beer just didn’t cut it. A Bulgarian geezer, over twice your age, drank you under the table my friend. You can’t hold your drink, can you 25-year old Bulgarian motorist? Better luck next time ya’ yob.
You know what they say; “If you want to run with the big dogs, you got to learn to piss in the tall grass”.
