Taking a break from stuff-I-should-be-doing-instead to write a quick Friday diary.

Let's take a trip in the Wayback Machine to the year 2007 to the scenario of a 20,000 tanker spill off the coast of Austrailia.

Below is a 2007 interview with Senator Collins, a member of the Australian Parliament. A funny interview -- if it hadn't been for real.

I don't know for sure if the Senator was a fan of Monty Python or not.

You be the judge.

Sorry for all the yelling in the title, but I wanted to get your attention as this diary may be important to you.

I just want to drop in a quick diary to warn everybody about a phone bill scam that apparently is going pretty widespread across the nation. There is a company that is appears to be running out of Florida that is doing unauthorized billing to people's phone bill. And the phone companies are participating in this scam. I just found I had been a victim. Please read on.

Short diary alert: Sorry but I wanted to get this out.

So CNN (aka Crap New Network) or as I call it, "All Bias, All Bull" network has decided to give their corporate spin on the tea parties. Surprised? Shouldn't be.

Conservatives are showing they know their way around the Internet just as well as liberals, as hundreds of organized "tea party" protests are planned across the nation Wednesday.

Really? A conservative grassroots thingy? Ooohh! How modern of them. But that wan't enough. The Crap News Network had to get in on (Fixed News') action by promoting it too.

Want to find a tea party? Text "teaparty" to 69302. Or get on Twitter or Facebook.

No doubt the Crap News Network is probably pissed they didn't think of it before Fixed News. But wait! There's more...

Now as the election wraps up all the dirty work is left. The election was the easy part. Here comes the clean-up after the party. Enter the legendary Vincent Bugliosi.

Older bloggers may remember Bugliosi as the famed attorney who prosecuted the Manson Family back in 1970. Earlier this year, Bugliosi introduced his book, "The Prosecution of George Bush for Murder, in which he presents the legal case for the prosecution of George Bush after he leaves office.

The I Ching and Political Prophecy
Okay. Now for something a little different. I consulted the I Ching today about the election.

The I Ching or "Book of Changes" is an oracle that's been used by the Chinese for thousands of years. It is undisputedly one of the oldest books ever written. From its pages emerged another classic book of wisdom, the Tao Te Ching. The I Ching is said to hold all answers to all situations in life. Wow. And all in one book. To consult it, you throw either coins or yarrow stalks (for the hardcore enthusiast). A number is determined which points you to a particular hexagram or passage in the I Ching.

The I Ching is chock full of symbolism and metaphors so you really have to get that right brain working when reading it. Then again, in contrast, there those times when the answers are so shockingly literal (I'm thinking this reading I'm going to share with you may have been one of those times).

So what does the I Ching have to say about this election? Keep reading.
