Every time I think Election 2010 can't produce crazier candidates (we're looking your witchy way, Christine O'Donnell), I get proven wrong.

You can call her a zedonk or a zedonkey, but in Arizona, the newborn hybrid of a donkey and a zebra born in Georgia would be illegal. Of course, if she was born at the Reid Park Zoo, I bet we'd see a Tea Party rally against hybrids. It's just the perfect way to turn attention away from their sorry-ass SB 1070 failure. But hey, you have to admit: That little hybrid sure is cute.

One can learn about humanity by reading craigslist, and I mean more than how much musicians love music jargon, or how lazy students can be these days (for example, one ad in the "writing gigs" section simply states: "home work - don't care"). An even deeper insight into the state of humankind can be found in the "free" section of craigslist, where words rise to great heights of depth, and one can find all the "free rabbit manure" one needs.

Photos mean little in the "free" section. Someone's "free flagpole" photo shows, as best as I can tell, no flagpole at all! The lister enigmatically ads "email if you have questions on how to find it, or if you would like me to check if it is still there." Yes, it's the words that intrigue here, though spelling errors abound. For example, free "concrete ruble" I imagine is NOT a prehistoric Russian coin, especially when described as having "small chuncks." But, let's forgive spelling, ignore the scant visuals, and savor the written content.

One post offers "a few things in a box." These things are (in no particular order): "a wig," "a few stuffed animals - frogs," "a southwestern style shower curtain," and "pantyhose - not used still in box." (I assume that would be an additional box inside the larger box.) Never mind, this is already uncomfortably personal because I'm thinking about

We've all heard of the "Hitler reacts" videos on YouTube where new subtitles have been added a clip of the movie Downfall so that instead of getting angry at the Allied forces closing in around him, he's ranting on mundane things like Susan Boyle failing to win Britain's Got Talent, getting kicked off Yahoo Answers, or the vuvuzelas at the World Cup.

Now the Fuhrer turns his anger toward the decision to build a downtown hotel for Rio Nuevo instead of the originally-planned museums. All he wanted was a parking garage for his birthday.

Somewhere in another reality, there's a Saturday Night Live sketch where Will Ferrell isn't told "more cowbell," but "more vuvuzela." Enter Vuvuzela Time, the website that lets you browse the web with the sound of those droning plastic horns from the World Cup.

Go to http://www.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/ and type in a site (TucsonWeekly.com for example) for an ear-splitting-rific good time.

If you've picked up our paper this week, you may have noticed it in a slightly different home than our ubiquitous red boxes.

We've invited artists to redesign the drop boxes in any way they choose (one even came back with pink horns) as part of our Art Box Project.

If you'd like to have your artistic way with one of our boxes, email our circulation manager, Laura Horvath at [email protected]. It can be anything you want, but it must be usable as a newspaper box and it has to have the Tucson Weekly logo somewhere on the completed box.

As we get new ones, we'll post them to our interactive Google Map.
