Quote of the Day

"Given the approval ratings of Congress these days, I guess we should all be grateful the bricks are coming through the mail, not the window. "
DAN PFEIFFER, a spokesman for Senator Evan Bayh, on a campaign to influence Congress on the immigration issue.

Come November all incumbents should be sent home. Maybe freshman suits can listen to their constituents and make some progress for a change.

Shiloh and behold

Well it finally came to pass. I still can't believe why any man would leave Jennifer Aniston for a girl that used to think Billy Bob was hot.
So Pitt loves the bad girls it seems, so what, who cares?
Obviously the tabloid-indoctrinated masses care. Why else would they be buying up this yellow journalism?
Anyhow, none of it really matters, Jennifer will give birth to some gorgeous babies when she's good and ready.

Preview this

Okay, so recently I was at the Cinema and they now have previews they show prior to showing the previews. I was hoping the previews I was seeing before the movie start time was going to be the previews, but I was mistaken.
I was able to view the previews a second time which was in fact the movie start time. WTF.
I guess it is just too much to ask for a movie to actually start as indicated on the ticket you are given by the clerk.
Just another paradigm stuck in a paradox.

Hatch goes down

Never lie to the judge is likely one lesson Mr. Hatch will remember as he spends 51 months in the can.
"Survive this," might be a familiar saying Richard will hear from his fellow inmates over the next few years.
Another classic genius-turned-idiot story.
So it goes.

Quote of the day

"It's time to cut seniors a little slack."MAX BAUCUS, senator from Montana, on legislation to waive the financial penalty for people who sign up late for Medicare's prescription drug benefit.

Finally, I can agree with one of the suits in Washington.

Fight or Flight

I guess these thugs forgot the first rule about Fight Club. What can be said about this?
A couple of kids decide to be entrepreneurs and record a fight then mass-produce the footage for sale.
What we have here are breakout producers of a fantastic new reality show. Call them Young Urban Don King wannabes. Everybody is just trying to get paid. What could be wrong with that? It is capitalism at it's best.
Thugs and gangsters want to fight, why shouldn't they?
They want to make some hard-earned cash for the newest $5000 dollar chrome spinner rims for their ride. These young toughs are just trying to stimulate the economy.
Maybe something about pure capitalism is not so pure after all.
I wonder what Mr. Bill Cosby would say about this?

Broken Axl

Didn't Axl's career die some ten years ago? I guess wishing for him to disappear is too much to ask.
I wonder if the original crew can make one last stand. They are so strung out and played out it's become a rock and roll cliche.

Usually I'd have to agree with Neil Young's
'it's better to burn out than fade away'
but for me, I would much rather have Axl just fade away.

Pandemic panic

Okay, so the government has a plan for the dreaded bird flu that is coming. It is a $7.1 billion dollar plan but where is this money coming from? Who knows? Maybe the bird flu is just the newest Y2K problem that will not entirely materialize, that's what I'm hoping for. So it goes

The plan lists more than 300 recommendations including:
People in the workplace should stay three feet apart and avoid face-to-face contact;
College and university dorms would be used to quarantine the sick;
Infected people should voluntarily quarantine themselves, and quarantine would be mandatory in the most extreme cases; and
Flight crews should have facemasks on board to put on coughing travellers.

Quote of the Day

"Political anxiety in an election year is to blame for a lot of the bad bills Congress passes. "REPRESENTATIVE JEFF FLAKE, Republican of Arizona, on a proposed $100 rebate to taxpayers to compensate for higher gas prices.

Lucky for us idiotic Americans we have Representative Flake on duty to point these things out for us.
So it goes.
