<blockquote><span>
<p>Now THIS, good people, is the textbook definition of “lemonade” from that irritating saying about lemons. Professional Australian Christiaan Van Vuuren has apparently been placed under strict quarantine due to TB. To cope with the isolation, he started making music videos in his hospital room under the name <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ChristiaanVanVuuren">Fully Sick Rapper</a>.</p>
<p>Good on ya, mate! And let this be a lesson to all of you lazy creatives with no excuse for not making stuff! It’s like my grandpappy always said, “Don’t wait until you get TB to make cool shit.” He was prophetic that way.</p>

      <title>Why I Hate Bureaucrats</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/themachine/posts/text/8820393</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i>*The sad part is how accepting everyone is of this behavior.</i></p>
<blockquote>For 15 years, the B & B Do it Center, a local hardware store in the small California town of Camarillo, has been putting out coffee and doughnuts for its morning customers. Actually longer, says owner Randy Collins; the previous owner did it too. Customers liked the courtesy, but… <a>well, you know where this is going</a>.</blockquote>
<blockquote>An anonymous customer complaint to the county brought health inspectors to the store, who determined its tradition of more than 15 years of offering coffee and doughnuts to customers violated food-handling regulations…</blockquote>
<blockquote>Inspectors told Collins that unless he was willing to install stainless-steel sinks with hot and cold water and have a prep kitchen to handle the food, he was violating the law.</blockquote>
<blockquote>As California government has solved all of its other problems, it seems appropriate to regulate coffee and doughnuts. The county bureaucrat, apparently with a straight face, described what Collins must do before he can offer the doughnuts to his customers:</blockquote>
<blockquote>“What some establishments do is hire a mobile food preparation services or in some cases a coffee service,” said Huff. “Those establishments have permits.”</blockquote>
<blockquote>It’s amazing that they still allow people to have children without permits.<br />
