Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus

I saw this video on AOTS. I think the video may be all I can stand of MS VS GO. It was a very entertaining 1:07. AND it has Lorenzo Llamas and Deborah Gibson. Aaaaaah!!!!

Cough Medecine

When I was a youngun and I would get a cough, I didn't mind taking my medicine because they were so kind as to make it flavored with whatever. Why don't they do the same for adults? We don't enjoy nasty tasting shit anymore then kids do.
Is it because they are afraid of alcoholics drinkin it to get drunk? Like my mama said, they will drink it no matter the taste. I also thought it might be because we adults need more of the nasty main ingredient then children. If anyone knows...let me know, please.

License Plate Game

My mother, my brother and myself used to go see my grandmother every summer. On the way we would play the game where you make words out of the letters on cars license plates.
On the way up to see my parents a few days ago I made up a new game. Try to pick out which cars are no longer made.
Just as fun and stimulating!

Civility on the Road

I just got back into DC today and a friend and I both had incidents with crazy people on the road.
I was coming into DC and was behind a cab at a red light. The light turned green and the cabbie slowly pulled off as he stared back at God knows what. I said out loud " drive your fuckin car, nobodies lookin at you, thinkin he was staring at a woman. We get to the next light and he pulls up beside me and asks who I was talking to and I said "You. You need to look at the road when you are driving, that's it!". He said " do you know we will kill you". I said "Oh really, let me get your tag number and have the police at your job when you get done for the day". Real tough, I know. I have a mouth and can't fight. Bad combo. I then tried to back up to get his tag number but there was a bus behind me. I left and realized that I was pissy from having just driven for 7 hours. I was taking my frustrations out on that cabbie.
Still, I will kill you is a little harsh!
A few minutes ago I checked my answering machine and a friend left a message telling me that she had just had a road rage incident of her own. She either cut someone off or something. I'm not sure. The woman started following her, getting out at every light waving her arms like a nutter. My friend argued at first and then decided to be a grown up and put her windows up and ignore the woman. The other driver continued to follow her, cutting her off, still jumping out at lights. My friend drove to the police department and then waited to see what happened. The nutter left. Much more mature then me, obviously.
I need to walk more often and take deep cleansing breaths.

American Institutions

If I recall correctly, part of the reasoning behind us bailing out the auto industry was that they were American institutions that we had to keep afloat because they were so important to America's future.
Now I read that the Obama administration is allowing foreign owned companies to own stock in them.
Let me get this straight, we bailed out auto makers because they were important to our future as Americans and now they are partially owned buy outsiders. So my tax money was used to prop up companies so they could be owned by non-Americans.
We were told we would see a profit from this eventually. Bullshit!
They just twist things and lie, twist things and lie.

About Face

I am glad to read that Pres Obama has decided to try to block the release of the "torture photos". I believe that what went on in prisons in Afghanistan and Iraq was torture in some cases but the purpose of releasing them escapes me. We have already said we used harsh techniques, what good does releasing the pictures do. We've seen the Abu Ghraib prisoner photos. We know what these techniques look like. All releasing them does is make people hate us more. Like we need that.

Weird Dream

Let me start off by saying that I never remember dreams. It just never happens. I also don't usually talk about stuff like this on here. But last night I had a memorable one and I feel the need to put it on here so I can get it out of my head.
I went to a party at my landlords other house next door to where we live. In real life he only owns the house we live in. When I got there, I saw people I hadn't seen in a while.
Kristina, a friend that I haven't seen in about 10-12 years. Kevin, a long time friend I haven't spoken to 5 months. Stefan who is my landlord and Beth, my old boss at a shop a worked at 5 years ago.
The truly disturbing part was no one would talk to me. I would see everyone in a room and as I would enter, they would disappear.
That's it. Doesn't make any sense to me but , like I said, I needed to get it out of my brain.

Turn Back Time

I just read an article on line about how amazing it is that Cher looks like she does at her age. Whats amazing about it? The old hag has had so much plastic surgery she better not sneeze too hard or people around her will get shrapnel wounds from all the staples popping loose.
And who says lookin plastic is looking great. I think 65 year old men and women should look their age. She is CREEPY looking!
She didn't turn back time, she yanked it back and chopped it off!

O'Reilly Blasts Barney Frank On Fannie Mae Mess!!

I do not agree with any commentator's, liberal or conservative, all of the time. Bill O'Reilly has his good points and his bad points but I will give him credit in one area. He is the only TV personality that will actually hold politicians feet to the fire. I love it!

Double Standard

I have a lot of respect for women in general but if I hear one more say that a woman or a black person, or a green haired Jew from Italy should be the next Supreme Court Justice I will pull what little hair I have left out.
The next Justice needs to be picked based on his ability to interpret the law. THAT IS IT!!!! I am tired of people acting like if you don't look like me you can't understand me. If that is the case I , as a white person, should not support or endorse anyone who doesn't look, or for that matter, think like me. That would be ignorant if I did it and it's just as ignorant when others do it. Discrimination is discrimination!

Beat a Big Spender

A Saudi Judge said, while giving a seminar on domestic violence, that its OK to slap your wife if she spends too much money. It's nice to see that doing business with a country that has so many human rights charges against them has helped them see the light. I say this because our government seems to like to use the " if we do business with this country they will be more open" argument whenever we do business with countries like China and Saudi Arabia.
How's that workin out so far??

Tracking Stimulus Money

One of the reasons people voted for Barack Obama was because he promised a more transparent government. One of the first ways we voters were supposed to notice this change was the website being setup to track the stimulus money. Well guess what, it ain't happening anytime soon.
I am hearing that the feds site may not be ready until October of 09. Some are even saying as late as 2010. How much will have already have been spent by then? There are some states that already have sites up tracking their part of the stimulus but people are having a hard time understanding the data. You can throw out all the numbers you want. If relatively intelligent people can't understand the data, it's worthless to us.
