Tarek Speaks! Or, Some Good News Already

Shocked as I have been by the apparent self-immolation of the databases that once powered the mightly Liquid List, I've been uncharacteristically quiet lately. I'm in my little laboratory, dreaming up a new way to revive TLL to its former glory, though I don't know if I won't just get distracted by the new New Yorker. Who knows.

Anyhow, some quickies, my lovelies:

At last some good news. I welcome any legitimate presidential candidates. If you get the signatures and submit them in keeping with the laws of the state, you get on the ballot, even if I hate you, and even if you will assuredly be consigning our nation to a life of absolute evil and despair for a hundred fortnights. But if you don't, buddy, you're not getting on the ballot. Period. That's the law. Bam.

Best. Slogan. Ever.

I'm desperately searching for a good photo of this phenomenon. I don't know why, but I'm just fascinated by the idea that all four lanes of a major highway would be directed in the same direction. It just stuns you at the basic level of consciousness, like seeing a new fully grown tree somewhere, or the first time I saw a plane after three days of empty skies in September 2001. Can't find a photo anywhere, though.
