Sears Tower Unveils Glass Balconies on Skydeck
My stomach DROPS just looking at these pictures. Walking over the glass floor of the CN Tower was enough for me, thanks.
From the office intranet(!):
Coworker: If they wanted them to be safe, they’d make them out of transparent aluminum:

Coworker: And what’s this “Willis Tower” nonsense! I’d understand if it was where Die Hard had taken place.
Me: I met a girl over the weekend who was convinced that Die Hard did take place in Chicago. I guess because of Carl from Family Matters? Racist.
Coworker: You should have quoted Bruce: “fuckin’ California”
hman:
Way to make the Health-Care industry look good in comparison WaPo.Remember when the Post’s motto “If you don’t get it, you don’t get it” referred only to getting home subscriptions?
This is pretty messy all around.

The Northern Virginia Republican is an odd beast. Like, I would’ve pegged them to believe that Dupont Circle is some Maoist, Satanist, Homofascist regime of arugula-huffers with a Starbucks/Abortion Clinic on every corner and evil free health care gnomes roaming the streets. But no. Apparently they think it’s some kind of demilitarized zone at which you have to come up out of the metro crouching to avoid stray gunfire. (I’d like to reiterate that they think this about Dupont Fucking Circle.) AND YET, when not drinking in the Ballston Mall, they seem to drink exclusively in the herpes triangle and brunch in Georgetown. They also all have BlackBerries, which I assume is some anti-French-Steve-Jobs fist of rage; but they use said BlackBerries just as you kids use the iPhone.
That said, I work in Northern Virginia. There was a homeless guy in front of my office this morning who looked exactly like the current iteration of popular rock and roll cartoon character Keith Richards, for what it’s worth.
He flourished under Reagan. He languished under Clinton/Bush, and he died under Obama.
