Success Warrior: The Blog That Embraces ADHD

Cuz I Said So

 

 

So,

The US government has shut down.

Really?

No, he’s teasing.

I’ve paid as little attention as possible to this story because:

1. It’s not true.

2. It’s political drama in an effort to get the Republican minions and Democratic cult members to fight against each other after coming together in opposition to attacking Syria.  Unity cannot be allowed because it challenges the one-party system.

3. I was trying to finish up a research paper.

Today, with college finally over, I decided to take a peek into the political headlines to see what nonsense was being put out as “news.”  Here’s some great stuff from an article written by Mark Felsenthal for Reuters, “Obama pulls out stops in warning on debt default.”

“A decision to actually go through with it, to actually permit default – according to many CEOs and economists – would be, and I’m quoting here, ‘Insane, catastrophic, chaos.’  These are some of the more polite words.” – Obama

Funny, those are the same words I would use to describe voting Obama in for a second term.

Except you didn’t use the more polite words.

“Warren Buffet likened default to a nuclear bomb, a weapon too horrible to use.” – Obama

It's worth noting that the nuclear bomb was used twice after the Japanese surrendered and now uranium depleted shells used in the Middle East have created a radioactive situation worse than those two atomic bombs.  If this debt default is like a nuclear bomb and nuclear bombs are too horrible to use and the United States government uses them to murder innocent people, does that mean that Obama is arguing FOR debt default?

“This is not just for me.  It’s also for my successors in office, whatever party they’re from.  They shouldn’t have to pay a ransom either for Congress doing its basic job.  We gotta put a stop to it.” – Obama.

Apparently, when making financial decisions for a country, dictators should not need permission from the people who hold the specific duty of controlling the purse strings.

That seems true enough.

Congress should just be renamed as “Rubber Stamp.”

“’This is the creditworthiness of the United States that we’re talking about,’ [Obama] said.  ‘This is our word.  This is our good name.  This is real.’”

He makes it sound like the world will look down on the United States government if it defaults.  The only people who think the United States government has a good name are ‘Merkins who live in Pretendland.

Then, apparently, The Great and Powerful Oz turned toward the usual tactic of describing end-of-the-world scenarios that will occur if people don’t do what He says.  I don’t have my finger on the pulse of what constitutes popular thinking (using the term oh-so-loosely) but I have to wonder if His threats carry the power they once did.  How many times can people hear these threats before the empty threats lose their oomph?  How many times can Chicken Little cry wolf before doubt about His credibility occurs, even in the minds(?) of the spoon-fed zombies?

You aren’t including his Keynesian Klown cult members are you?

It doesn’t look like it or there wouldn’t have been a question mark behind the word “minds” and there wouldn’t have been the word “minds.”

Either you’re with him or you’re with the terrorists.

Wrong president.

Same logical fallacy, though.

Apparently, the puppets are easily interchangeable.

TRST: Obama Cutting the Deficit

So,

Today's "They Really Said That?" is brought to you by the Great and Powerful Oz who was asked about his promise to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term and he said . . .

Well here, watch it for yourself:

What I am learning about having a valuable discussion about ideas is that there must be a clear understanding of the words that are being used.  There has to be a general consensus to the definitions of the words being used.

Case in point, Obama says that "everybody" underestimated how bad the economy was when he took office and that's why he has broken yet another promise.  Let's take a closer look at who "everybody" is, shall we?

It doesn't include:

• Me and my readers
• Peter Schiff
• Ron Paul
• Gerald Celente
• Anyone who can read above an 8th grade level
• Ah hell, this list could go on forever, let's just list who "everybody" is

"Everybody", used in this context by Obama, means "Everybody who believed Obama."  Everyone else either wasn't paying attention or knew the truth.

By the way, if you go looking for this video on YouTube, don't cut it short and search for "Obama Failed Promise" because you'll have to scroll through too many videos to count.

Channeling Bush

So,

We find ourselves in the third presidential term of George W Bush but without Cheney.

Who's going to shoot people in the face?

Eric Holder has armed entire Mexican drug cartels for Obama.

Long time readers may remember when I was on my little kick leading up to the depression where I would mock King George and my good friend Ben Bernanke every time they did a press release telling the whole world that the US economy was great and people like me who warning of the crash didn't know what we were talking about.  I haven't done the same service with the Great and Powerful Oz because I've been a little bit busy but I saw a video on Saturday that summoned me back to those days and I just couldn't stop myself from writing this post.

Like you really tried.

You could've at least pretended.

The unemployment rate dropped from 8.5% to 8.3% and Obama used this bit of news in a reelection speech and had this to say about it:

"Now, this morning, we received more good news about our economy.  In January, American businesses added another 257,000 jobs.  The unemployment rate came down because more people found work."

If you are one of His cult members, now is the time to click away to something else.  You have received confirmation that He is doing a great job and that you are doing gawd's work when you proselytize in His name.  Reading any further might shake your faith will probably make you angry because it pisses you off to no end when people ruin His message with the truth.  Faith is what atheists like me need and if I had any, I would see that His message is not to be questioned.  That will only lead to hell.

Can atheists go to hell?

Is Mittler Romney giving a speech near here?  We could go.

Math time!  The unemployment rate came down because more people found work.  Let's check this out.  There were 13 million unemployed people in December.  Obama, the great and powerful job creator, is taking credit for 257K people getting employment.  Let's see now.  Divide by 3, carry 1, subtract 5, add 257 thousand jobs and you get a change of .06%. 

I'm impressed.

By the whopping change?

No, that SW still remembers how to do math.

There is that.

Maybe some small factor is being left out by the lamestream media.  Ohhhh, that's right, 1.1 million threw in the towel, moved into a tent on the lawn of a state capital, and were beaten with police batons.  75% of the change recorded as a "drop in unemployment" was caused by people who have completely given up on the system and are no longer counted as people. 

Maybe Obama wasn't trying to deceive people.  Maybe he's just shitty at math.  He should stick to Constitutional Law.

He's shitty at Constitutional Law too.

Shitty at economics and the Constitution, he should be a politician.

These people no longer in the system should heed Newt's advice and get a job.

1.3 million people should get the 250k available jobs?

They could landscape for Mitt and get paid under the table.

This though, is not the point of this blog.

It never is.

True dat.

Taking a page out of the Bush/Bernanke Mad Lib book, Obama added this gem:

"But the economy is growing stronger.  The recovery is speeding up."

From January to December of last year, the people who said "Fuck it!" and dropped out of the system rose by 1.24 million people.  In the first month of this year, the number of people that quit looking for Newt's magical but invisible jobs rose by 1.18 million people.  There are a couple of things that are speeding up but recovery is not on the list.

How about the amount of presidential bullshit being uttered?

Really?  Do you think that has changed?

This is an election year though and I want to point out that all is not lost for the cultists.  If Obama can maintain a sense of despair, he might be able to get over a million people to drop out of the job hunting scene every single month between now and November.

Wait!  What about Hope?

More people are definitely going to be asking for change?

Using cardboard signs?

Yep.

If over a million people per month drop out of the system, he should be able to get the unemployment rate down to 6.5%.

Schwing!  Reelected fer shure!

Hosanna unto Obama!

In fact, why stop there?  With less than 13 million people left making the unemployment number look so bad, He should work at getting them all to drop out of the system or indefinitely detain them as enemy combatants (incarcerated and disappeared people don't count against the stat). 

Look, here's the thing . . .

Frank Caliendo says you can always tell when Obama is going to really push a point because he'll say, "Look," or, "Here's the thing," and if it's really important he'll concatenate them.

I understand why Obama and Bush lie about these things but I also understand that the only reason that they get away with it is because no one says, "Really?  You're going to go with that bit of bullshit?"  Obviously, the audience at His speaking events is made up of cult members and, no doubt, when they stop believing him, the 1% will just hire film extras to make up the audience with a couple of people up front holding cue cards for "Laugh" and "Applause". 

Where was the "Laugh" guy for the spilled milk joke?

Watching the pained look on Michelle's face.

At some point though, I would like to think that the ground would become so infertile for such blatant lies that they would just stop.

It's a dream I have.

Constitional Protection

So,

Before I started in on this accounting stuff, I had a law class for which, as a first assignment, I had to write a paper that dealt with the protection offered by the Constitution.  My argument was to dismiss the entire question because the Constitution is just a god damned piece of paper and offers no protection whatsoever.  As a DIY litmus test, I suggested holding up a copy of the Constitution the next time a cop was going to violate your "Constitutional Rights" and see if it was actually able to stop the tazer barbs from shocking the shit out of you.  Next to the 100% grade for the paper, the instructor added a comment to the effect of "me no-likey".  Since I'm in this to get my degree and, at this point, I'm not willing to sacrifice my 4.0 gpa, I toned back all further writings in a way that got my point across but without evoking as much of an emotional response from the instructor.

That was back in August.  What has happened since then that I haven't blogged about because ACCOUNTING SUCKS OUT LOUD?

Occupy Wall Street happened and the media blackout ended when the police trapped two women on a public sidewalk with their bright orange kettle netting and then pepper sprayed them for the apparent crime of letting themselves get caught in the bright orange kettle netting on a public sidewalk.  Later, 20 or so college students were pepper-hosed (spray is much too kind of a word in this case) for the violent crime of sitting down in a public area. 

Bit of the ultra-violence.

Clockwork, it ain't.  Or were you talking about the cops?

The Great and Powerful Oz made good on a speech that he made, in a level of irony to match his level of arrogance, in the room that holds the original Constitution.  In that speech, he announced that King George (George W. Bush for those of you that aren't long-time readers) was a bastard for violating the Constitution in the way that he had.  Obama said that He would never act in such a way because of his Constitutional Law background.  Then, without pause and within the exact same damning speech on bastards violating the Constitution, he announced his intention of passing a law allowing the indefinite detention of non-criminals anywhere in the world.  "God help you if you get in the way of the 1% because I will make your ass disappear, Constitution-be-damned!"  In December, without fanfare or ceremony or media coverage, Oz signed it into law.

At the same time Obama was signing NDAA, I was reading about SOPA while thinking, "I should write on my blog while it can still be found."  On the surface, the act is supposed to protect copyright material but I haven't read anyone who believes either: 1. That's what it's supposed to do; or 2. It will work.  Some people do believe that the original intention was to protect copyright material but even they don't think it will work.  Maybe that's how it started but now it's more of a Trojan Horse to allow the government to make sites disappear.

I'm starting to sense a pattern.

Making stuff disappear or violating rights?

SOPA will act contrary to what many Americans think of when it comes to law enforcement.  If a person files a complaint against a web page, the entire web site will be disappeared (even if it contains 1,000 pages with no complaints).  The site owner then will have to petition or fight or bribe people to get the action reversed.  Guilty until proven you'll comply with what we say you're allowed to put on the Internets innocent will be the rule.

On the other side of the equation, it will be possible to use browsers that don't comply with the government restrictions or visit the sites directly if you know their address.  However, it will probably be a felony to circumvent government restrictions on websites.  Just like China, you could end up in prison for reading Wikileaks.

"Welcome to Alcatraz.  Whatcha in for?"

"Reading the news."

"Hardcore man, hardcore."

On the horizon, I just read that New York City is planning on taking TSA's radioactive nekkid body scanners and making them smaller so they can be installed on police cars and street corners next to surveillance cameras. 

Making clothes disappear.

And all semblance of a "Free Country".

To make this post a "They Really Said That?" edition, let me give you this quote from New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly:

"The scanner would only be used in reasonably suspicious circumstances and could cut down on the number of stop-and-frisks on the street."

It might cut down on the stops but it's going to exponentially increase the number of frisks.  He talks like he's doing everyone in New York a favor.  "We know you're in a hurry and have places to go and how inconvenient it is when the police stop you to give you a quick feel-up.  Now you won't have to stop.  We'll just look at you naked as you walk down the road.  We will, of course, use anything we see to file criminal charges when we find violations of the law, despite the fact that what we found was the product of a warrantless search, Constitution-be-damned."

Text books will have to heavily edit their "Fruit of the Poisonous Vine" chapters.

It'd be easier to just make those chapters disappear.

Law books will start to look like a Jehovah's Witness's bible.

"Professor, why does my text book go from chapter 10 to chapter 12?"

"We didn't like chapter 11.  It dealt with archaic right to privacy beliefs."

The bottom line is that as governments continue to lose their relevance and completely trash any claim to being useful, restrictions are going to tighten.  Freedoms are going to be reduced.  What people are allowed to do, say, read, and think is going to be narrowed in an effort to keep them from choosing freedom.  The Constitution can't protect people from this.

Whether W actually said the line or not, it is true that the Constitution is just a piece of paper.  It does not grant rights as many people mistakenly believe or accidentally imply when they say things like, "I have the first amendment right to free speech."  Bzzzt.  Wrong but thank you for playing.  Johnny, tell 'em what they've won as a consolation prize. 

The rights that people are talking about are human rights.  You get them by being human (which rules out many politicians).  The Constitution doesn't grant rights.  The government doesn't give rights.  The government can only violate rights.  It does so in the name of protecting rights, which is an obvious self-imploding argument.  "We are going to violate your human rights so that we can protect your human rights."  Whu-uh?

The Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights, was written as an agreement to set boundaries on how much the government was going to violate the human rights of Americans.  By itself though, it offers no protection.  Protection comes from the people.  People who stand up for their human rights and the rights of the people around them.  The Constitution, while just a piece of paper, was important because it set out the rules of the game and when the rules were broken, people took action to fix it.  As governance has moved further from self-governance to a central government and as that government has become incredibly powerful, the incentive for politicians to play by the rules has decreased to the point where it's okay to pepper spray people sitting on a sidewalk or disappear people who haven't committed a crime to secret prisons in Iraq or hide websites that dare speak the truth or expose people to radiation while getting a tax-payer funded peepshow out of the deal.

The Constitution isn't going to stop this escalating trend into a police state.  Only the people can stop it.

The Constitution doesn't protect human rights.

Humans protect human rights.

Blogging in 2012

So,

Blogging has dropped down the priority list and while I can't say that I'm going to elevate it back up, I can say that I miss it and will be putting in some time here on a more regular basis.  Family, school, and fitness take up the large chunks of time but I think there just may be some time in there somewhere to throw out bits of randomness.

Speaking of random . . .

Please keep your hands and legs inside the ADHD roller coaster at all times.

And enjoy the ride.

The Great and Powerful Oz hired a new chief-of-staff.  Guess where the guy worked before landing a job with the 1 percent's mouthpiece?  You'll never guess.  Never ever.  Well, maybe if I gave you two guesses, you would get it.  Since it seems like most Obama's top advisors come from Goldman Sucks, that would probably be the first guess and you would be wrong.  Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund?*

Dude is going to need a lot more guesses.

Jacob Lew was a vice chairman of JP Morgan.

I can honestly say that I am shocked.  Shocked I tell you!

Shocked that President 1% hired another Wall Street racketeer?

No, not that.  I was going to add something snarky and a cult member tazed me.

That's not shocking.

Speaking of President 1%, Chris Hedges gave a guess as to why Obama would pass his "Look, I'm a third world tyrant" law that allows him to use the military against Americans and make them disappear without anything resembling due process or the Constitution:

"And I suspect it passed because the corporations, seeing the unrest in the
streets, knowing that things are about to get much worse, worrying that the
Occupy movement will expand, do not trust the police to protect them. They want
to be able to call in the Army. And now they can."

Obama has managed to do something that not even Bush could do in Cheney's wet dreams.

Here's something I've heard in a couple of different places.  The United States government created over 40,000 laws in 2011.

Jeezus!  I think it's illegal to be alive now.

If you're a tax payer, it's probably illegal to die.

Remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand . . .

Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop.

And enjoy the rest of your blogging experience here at the SW blog.

Blogging may have to be a post-exercise cool down experience where I share bits and pieces of the latest things that I have read.  It will have to do for the moment.

*One of the key people at the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize the year that President "Let's see how many countries I can attack in four years" won the prize because He was able to read about peace from a teleprompter.

Multi-Cultural Ethics

 
So,

Let's just jump right in with suggestions on how to deal with ethical questions while in a country other than your own.  These are from my college text, which, frighteningly, might be taken seriously by some students.

1. "Broaden Your View.  Become more sensitive to the values and customs of other cultures.  Look especially at what they consider moral, traditional, practical, and effective."

 Exactly!  If you arrive someplace where it's perfectly acceptable to mutilate the genitals of 4-year old girls, you need to think outside your little cultural box and think of these things from their point of view (but not the view of the 4-year old girl who is probably freaked completely out).  You should try it once to fully understand the culture.  Volunteer to have someone take a knife to your genitals to see if there might be some validity to this cultural practice.

2. "Avoid Reflex Judgements.  Don't automatically judge the business customs of others as immoral, corrupt, or unworkable.  Assume they are legitimate and workable until proven otherwise."

Yes, yes.  If is generally accepted that Exxon and BP can bribe American legislators to bomb the ever-loving shit out of 2 or 3 or 4 or . . . (have they started bombing a fifth yet - I've lost count) countries to make business run smoother and reduce the cost of oil to themselves but not the price of gas to the consumers, don't make some knee-jerk reaction to this.  It's always best to assume that the million people Obama and his merry men have killed in the last few years is legitimate and workable until proven otherwise.  Here is the most important part in point #2.  If you want to know if it's legitimate and workable, it's best to ask Exxon and BP officials or contact your local representative.  I'm sure they won't steer you wrong.

3. "Find Alternatives.  Instead of caving in to government payoffs, perhaps offer non-monetary public service benefits, technical expertise, or additional customer service."

Of course.  Monetary bribes are way too easy to trace.  If you need doctors to push the drugs that you bribed the FDA board to allow you to put on the market without adequate testing, might I suggest all expense paid ski trips to Tahoe or cruises in the Bahamas?  If you really must resort to cash, it's best to put the doctor on your payroll as a "consultant".  You might have to pay extra if you want to use his or her name on any of your reports "proving" that your drugs are safe enough for the FDA to turn a blind eye to.

Here's today's question and then I'm off to study for my final:

Are ethics relative?

Touching Senators from Alaska (TSA)

 
Is that a wand in your hand or are you just happy to see my breasts?

So,

I haven't mentioned my dear, dear friends at TSA in a while and probably wouldn't have in a long, long time but they have made a bunch of headlines in the last couple of days.  They must want the attention and I'm always happy to help bring attention to the TSA.

Cuz you're tight?

Well, they have seen my junk.

That's pretty tight.

Right?

An Alaska lawmaker gets felt up every time she flies because she only has one boob.  I suppose the TSA has to check to make sure that the prosthetic breast she wears to balance things out isn't a bomb. 

Does it have more than 3 ounces of liquid?

Maybe she needs to carry the fake boob in a plastic bag?

This last time the TSA tried to give her a sensual massage with a happy ending, she said no and spent two days on a ferry getting home.  There is a huge problem with Alaska.

It's where Sarah Palin comes from.

Okay, there are two huge problems with Alaska.

You don't travel to or from Alaska without flying.  Alaska lawmakers said the TSA is out of control but didn't come up with any answers for dealing with DHS date rape.  They passed a non-binding resolution officially bitching about the TSA, which is a bold move.

A restaurant near the Sea-Tac airport has come up with an answer.  They no longer allow TSA employees in the restaurant.  They won't serve TSA workers and tell them to leave and have even called the police to have TSA employees removed.  This is, of course, the wrong approach.

Sounds cool to me.

Listen to my idea first.

They should allow TSA workers to eat at the restaurant, after they have been completely felt up and allowed a picture of themselves to be taken in their underwear.

Okay, I like your idea better.

Toldja!

A Charlotte teen-ager was able to get out onto the tarmac of the airport and climb into the wheel-well of an airplane and fly to Boston.  This has some people wondering what the hell the TSA is doing when it comes to providing security.

They were all gathered 'round the monitor looking at nekkid people.

Probably.

Unfortunately for the teen, he pulled a move from a Nicolas Cage movie and fell from the sky when the plane put its gear down to land in Boston.  The family would like the TSA to explain how something like this happens.  The TSA is meeting today at 2:30 to try to figure out what kind of bullshit story it can come up with to explain how a teen-ager can get through security designed to stop highly trained terrorist cells from blowing up planes with prosthetic boobs.

Meanwhile, an undercover chick with nice milk cartons was able to get a firearm past the TSA several times at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport.

Can't they shorten that down like Sea-Tac?

To what?  Da-Rth?

You can't get a fake boob through TSA security but if you're a chick with two boobs, you can take a Desert Eagle 50 Cal. tucked in your G-string and be just fine.  Okay, I don't know what kind of gun it was but it was hidden in her underwear.  Now call me a cynic but . . .

I have better things to call you.

Shut it!

. . . It seems like a great story to leak out to try to convince people to allow the TSA to take pictures of their private parts.

Like they weren't taking the pictures already.

I know, I know.

At JFK, a TSA employee screener threatened to bash in some dude's head with a baseball bat.

For not allowing a hand job?

You're not helpful.

A Texas Airlines employee was backing up in the parking lot and nicked the TSA employee's car.  This is apparently enough to make assault with a baseball bat a reasonable and necessary use of force.  Of course, when you're part of the Department of Homeland Security, there is probably a tad bit of Judge Dreadd running through your veins.

Loved Rob Schneider in that movie.

You are the Rob Schneider of this blog.

Also at JFK, three TSA employees in two separate cases have been arrested for stealing money from passengers' luggage.  One dude stole tens of thousands of dollars in one go.

Like that wouldn't be missed.

Ya think.

The other two have been siphoning money off for years.  Cops have been able to come up with about 40 grand of stolen money and suspect that over the years, the two have broken six figures.

Remind me not to go to JFK.

Shah.

Even if you do catch the guy stealing your money, he'll probably try to bash your brains in with a Louisville Slugger.

"Aviation Security Expert Justin Green thinks incidents like these raise questions about the integrity of the airport security system."

Really Aviation Security EXPERT Green?  This is what raises the questions?  None of the headlines above this raises any questions?  Nothing mentioned in my previous blog post (Warning: It was written when I was way more serious) kind of, sort of, in some little way, sets off some kind of red flag in your expert brain?

Stealing a few hundred bucks a day is the trick?  Feeling up the elderly, strip searching children, teen-agers falling from the sky, downloading naked pictures of passengers, easily getting a gun through check points, and threatening to kill people with baseball bats are all perfectly acceptable behavior for TSA agents that don't raise any concerns about their integrity?

They probably didn't give Expert Green his cut.

That explains it.

All of these headlines are from the last two days and you know that only a small percentage of the criminals at the TSA get caught and only a few of those make the headlines.  Can you even imagine what TSA employees are out there doing every single day? 

Expert Green can't.

Maybe he's an expert at wearing blinders.

Or covering up the wrong doings.

Or a complete smacktard.

But, if you're ever lonely on a Friday night and can't get a date from eHarmony, you could always get a boarding pass and walk through the security check point a few times.  Don't count on dinner though.

Especially near Sea-Tac.

So true.

What's This Blog About?

 
So,

Here's something that I learned while almost becoming a spy.  According to papers released by WikiLeaks, Saudi Arabia is running out of oil. 

Now, I will point out that I am not a spy because I didn't visit WikiLeaks myself so I was able to use that loophole in the Air Force's rule.  The author of the article that I read on the topic should probably be thrown into prison though, as an example of what happens to people who report on information that's so old that it has no right being released as "news".

Anyway, oil exports from the Middle East are going to be decreasing in the next couple of years.

Is it even any kind of revelation?

Not really.

It seems that the Middle East is going to run into problems as oil production goes down while local demand goes up.  Saudi Arabia might hit peak oil levels as soon as 2012 and this could have far reaching affects.  What this means is that . . .

Excuse me.

Yes.

News about peak oil is new?

Apparently.

When did you start talking about peak oil?

June 27, 2007.

But that's not what this blog is about or even what was intended for this post.  Since Superbowl Sunday, I have kind of been dragging, like my energy levels were completely out of phase with the rest of my life.  I haven't slept well and I have been tired during the day.

Today, I made an attempt to correct it by taking some drastic actions.  I cancelled exercise and I slept until I couldn't sleep anymore. 

Dat's what ahm talkin' 'bout.

You know it.

I think my body just needed it.  We'll see if things seem to turn around on my personal energy level, which has a better chance than anything connected to energy levels based on oil.

The Black Eyed Peas sure took a beating over their performance at the Superbowl.  I pulled it up on YouTube to see what the big deal was and I disagree that it's the worst half-time show ever.  I did agree with a couple of comments that I read:

"The sound guy should be fired."

"Fergie should never, ever sing Sweet Child of Mine ever again and should probably be fined for the Superbowl rendition and the fine should be greater than what Janet paid for her wardrobe malfunction."

Amen!

Right?

Still, the worst show I can remember was that little boy band group that was absolutely horrendous.  I can't remember their names, which I'm not in the least bit sad about.  The trauma has probably blocked my memory.

Speaking of stupid decisions like putting prepubescent boys that can't sing on a show where the demographic is decidedly not little girls, here's a map from Fox news and apparently Scottie from Star Wars II is able to teleport entire countries now.

 
Please tell me this is photoshopped.

Probably not.

I know.  <sigh>

Hey!  Victoria Secrets is selling PINK panties 5 for $25.50 with free shipping!

WTF?

Dunno.

My email today has been full of great information like this.

It seems that Chipotle Mexican Grill was hiring the best workers available, at least according to a South Carolina state senator.

"State Sen. Robert Ford made his remarks during a Senate committee debate over an Arizona-style immigration law, eliciting a smattering of nervous laughter in the chamber after he said "brothers" don't work as hard as Mexicans. He continued that his "blue-eyed brothers" don't either."

Mexicans work harder than black and white people, maybe put together, and they do it for cheaper so Ford is against adopting an immigration law similar to Arizona.  It would be bad for the state to kick out the very best workers.

I'm not sure what to say about that.

Leaves you a bit speechless, doesn't it?

Yeah, in fact, it's pretty much ended my high speed train (built by the hardest working employees from Chipotle's) of thought which is fueled by a dwindling oil supply from Egypt that is apparently now neighbors with Iran, so I suppose I'll call it a day for this blog post and do some much needed homework (not that I need it but that it needs to be done).

It's Taco Tuesday! Know What That Means?

 
So,

It's Taco Tuesday!

Do yo know what that means?

More pictures of Ben Bernanke as a mangina?

You can go to Reuters for that since that's pretty much every picture of Ben Bernanke.

This morning was the punching cardio workout.  You know, with my attention span, I thought I would be tired of it by now but I'm still enjoying it.  I have changed a couple of the moves but it is, for the most part, the same workout.  I just like it.  I've tried to explain it before and failed (but not failed as bad as Mubarak's attempts to throw the people a bone) so I'm not even going to try today.  I'll just say that it was a great way to start the day.

Here's some good news that I'm sure most, if not all, of you will appreciate.  Supposedly, in the near future, cell phone companies are going to stop the ridonculousness of changing cell phone charger designs every 6 months.  As cool as phones are getting, this practice was getting on everyone's last nerve and putting much more garbage into the garbage then was needed.  Landfills are filled with millions of phone chargers from year old phones.  Phones will be set up with the mini-USB chargers so people can just keep their chargers until they break or get lost or are thrown into a lake to destroy the evidence after a politician strangles an underage hooker.

You would think the EPA would step in with that many cell phone chargers being thrown in lakes.

You would think.

I mentioned Mubarak so I thought I would check in on the story.  It appears that he has given his 8-MONTH notice. 

You would think two weeks would be sufficient.

They must have different customs in Egypt.

I'm thinking that Mubarak is going senile.  Who's going to believe him?

"I promise, I'll quit in September."

"Good enough for me.  Let's all go home."

Right?

He also promised that he would not flee the country and that he will die there.  Most likely and probably not too far in the future. 

Do they make tacos in Egypt?

Not that I know of.  Why?

What does Taco Tuesday mean?

It means that I started the day with my punching cardio workout and I'm about to do another 90 minutes of martial arts cardio.

So, those are the sides of the shell and everything in between was 35% fulfilling but mostly fillers and binders?

No, but unfortunately, I am now out of time to explain it.  Maybe next Tuesday.

You're a bastard!

Being pro-government is prerequisite to being anti-government?

"Before this week, few thought a mass anti-government movement was possible in Egypt, a country that has little experience with democracy. But after Friday's protests, the campaign to oust Mubarak only seems to be gathering strength." - Griff Witte
