No Chance In Hell
So there we are watching tv on Sunday when a commercial comes on for a new Indiana Jones toy. Specifically
a toy whip. Daughter comes running down the hall begging me for said whip so like any sane parent
I say "can you say no chance in hell?"...
So what does my daughter do? Walks back down the hallway yelling "No chance in Hell! No chance in Hell!".
Becareful what you ask for around kids, you might just get it!

Bent Over An Oil Barrel
Talk about being bent over an oil barrel by people you helped. CNN reports that
Iraq is expecting a $70 billion dollar windfall in oil profits due to the surge in oil prices.
Someone explain to me why Congress just ok'd $47 Billion to re-construct Iraq off my money and yours?
I think Iraq can pay for it themselves. In fact, I think they OWE us since we removed Saddam.

Bleeding Heart Liberal

Obama Shaken, Not Stired
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama says that he is shaken up by the
uproar caused by his spiritual compass Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Shaken, but not stired, eh Obama?
Apparently his racist/psycho rants that have happened multiple times over multiple years is enough for him to denouce
what was said, but not enough for him to LEAVE the church, like Oprah did by the way.
Is that the smell of hypocracy I hear? Why yes, yes it is since he called for the firing of Don "the dumbass" Imus when he made his
1 time nappy headed comment about some college students yet he doesn't leave his own church when his pastor makes multiple comments
over a period of many years. Pattern of behavior and remarks? I'd say so.

Boeing Screwed by Air Force
So the United State Air Force has decided to award a $40 billion dollar tanker deal to...
Wait for it...
WAIT FOR IT...
NOT BOEING! (Huh?)
The bush stimulus package that was just signed
into law to help "rescue the economy" was some $168 billion dollars. Here we have a $40 billion dollar United States Air Force contract and we award it to
Boeing competitor who will use a Airbus frame?
Uh...pardon my french but...
ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING NUTS?!?!?
The U.S. economy is in a down turn. Our government is spitting out a $168 billion dollar economic stimulus plan to "try" and keep our economy going, and you fuck nuts
pick a company that will use a European plane maker? You spent how much money bailing out the Airline Industry after 911 and now your just handing over a $40 billion dollar
contract, essentially, to Airbus? The one You...YOU...the United States government complain about having an unfair advantage due to government
subsidies?
I repeat...
ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING NUTS?!?!?
I hope to God every United States worker remembers this moment when they go to the pulls, and select a new president.
If President Bush had any balls...ANY at all...he would get on television, as commander and chief, and demand...no, I take that back. As commander in
chief DICTATE that the contract will go to Boeing. (Is this some behind the doors deal "thank you" to our European partners for the continued support in the war
in Iraq? Me wonders...)
What the fuck people...I mean seriously, what the hell are you guys smoking in Washington D.C.?!?!?!

Russian Bomber Buzzes Aircraft Carrier
If memory serves as we approach times of presidential elections in this country it seems various country/dictators try
and flex a little bit of muscle because they tend to think we are too busy with internal issue.
Today we learned that on Saturday a Russian bomber buzzed only 2,000 feet over the USS Nimitz.
Talk about foolish. If you come THAT close to one of our large ships, I think we are totally within our right to blow that sucker
right out of the sky. There is NO way that pilot decided to "just do this", this clearly came from his superiors if not V.P. himself.
Just more proof that the cold war, is not so cold anymore thanks to our buddy Bush.

Get It Together Baby
Unless you've been under a rock for the past few weeks I am sure you would be hard pressed not
to have heard any of the new Applebee's commercials with the "get it together" tag line. If
the voice sounds familier to you it is because it is comedia Wanda Sykes.
This tag line of course has become a rather annoying, but fun, part of my genetic make up. In short, I cannot get it
out of my dang head! (Perhaps a blunt instruments or leaches may be in order....)
At any rate...because this tag line is so catchy it brings an idea to mind. Whomever the ad agency is, I think, is
missing out on a great tool. Because we are all so wired these days, and we all love those damn annoying ringtones, what
they should be doing is offering up a free downloadable ringtone on the applebee's site. In return the person getting
the ringtone agrees to receive email communications/coupons from applebee's to entice them to return.
I like the idea anyways. Now, if you'll excuse me...I think you all should leave and "get it together baby!"

Hannah Montana Body Double
There is some flap about how Miley Cyrus is using a body double at
her concerts while she runs in to change outfits.
Uhhhh....here is a news flash for everyone.
Didn't you already realize she does not even SING live at her concerts? It's totally pipe'd. Sure...she moves her lips and hell, she
might even be singing along with the words just so the folks in the first few rows realize she's doing something...but it's all a
big put on anyways.
I suppose the only weird thing coming out of this is why do they bother doing a body double at all? They could easily have the
musicians play a 1-2 minute rif' while she runs in the back and changes. If anything, this is just a dump decisions by her
concert tour management.
But lets face it, she is hardly the first to be caught doing the lip thing. SNL had that famous one with Jessica Simpson's sister,
Ashlee Simpson. If you really listen to the "younger" kids being played on the radio today, you can totally hear how they have been washed
through machines in order to get them on pitch.
I think that's why people that can REALLY belt it out, are so popular.

Logan's Re-Run
While I'm sitting here watching Logan's Run it dawns on me that Hollywood over the past few years seems to
enjoy doing re-makes of older movies so, why not Logan's Run?
It is clearly an older (1976) sci-fi movie that could benefit from today's CGI special affects but the real question
is who should be the main 3 actors?
Here are my pics:
"Logan": Matt Damon
"Francis": Ben Affleck
"Jessica": Jessica Alba
The male lead characters originally played by Michael York and Richard Jordan play what appear to be good/best friends so I just think
having true life friends would add an interesting dynamic. I would have Matt play Logan simply because due to the bourne series he
has more action movie history and bankability.
I selected Jessica, well...."duh".

Starbucks Diet
Starbucks diet = no longer drinking coffee from Starbucks. Watch your middle get thin and your wallet get fat!
Too little, too late Starbucks. It seems that the board is kicking out the current CEO of starbucks and brining back
Schultz, or as he's called in Seattle...."The asshole who sold the Sonics to an outside interest".
Sorry Schultz...even with you back in charge you will not be receivcing my paycheck each month like you have for the past
13 years.
You see, I'm a coffee addict, but my new year's resolution this year was to STOP drinking coffee, specifically Starbucks coffee. It seems
I finally woke up and smelled all that coffee I'd been drinking and realized I was dropping $4 every time I went for a stupid coffee! The
other sad part is the fact that every starbucks I go into...my fricken Latte tastes different. Apparently there is no longer any sort
of standard training or something because everyone seems to make it different. This one is too hot, this one too cold, this one is burned beyond recognition and
I end up taking one sip and throwing the whole thing away. Two words for you Schultz: Quality Control.
I estimate I will save over $1,000 by doing this and that is a VERY conservative number. But here is the bright spot. The last time
I "gave up the juice" for a few weeks...I lost almost 10 pounds. Taking the average number of drinks I was having per day and the number of
calories my drink had...I was pounding down almost 1,000 or more calories per day JUST from these stupid drinks.
So, join with me America and go on the "Starbucks Diet". Shave off those totally empty calories you're drinking every day and watch
the weight fall off fast then you can say "Jenny Craig".

Oprah School Scandal
I'm sure by now most of you have heard about the Oprah school scandal and
abuse that happened at the school she opened in South Africa.
Without trying to sound like a conspiracy, as I have not heard of any lawsuits coming out of it, I'm pretty
curious as to just how much "hush money" Oprah has forked over to the kids involved.
I mean think about it. If that had happened over here, there would have been multi-million dollar
lawsuits filed over night once the story broke. I cant help but wonder that she is trying to squash that
with some hushed up pay outs.

Mr. 24 Gets 48
And yet another "star" drops from the sky. Kiefer Sutherland was convicted for his September
drunken driving incedent and now must do 48 days in jail.
So Mr. 24 gets 48, eh?
Must be that new math I always hear about. NOT that I'm complaining. It's about time people who do such a STUPID thing get
the book thrown at them. Of course Hilton and Richie were out in a few days/hours so one can only wonder how much actual
time he must do. He's already reported to jail so I would suspect he knows he'll be released before Christmas.

Social Network Syndrome
I fully admit in my youth I used to spend a lot of time on AOL, specifically in chat rooms. I actually
met a number of people that at the time I called friends. We would meet f2f as a group and we all became
fast and furious friends. There were other people I would only I.M. with who I probably would have also called
friend, as I started to care about how their day went, etc. As with most things...time passes, you get older, and you
move onto other things. I got over my online/chat addiction and rejoined the real world after probably a year. I just
got burned out and realized there were a LOT Of fake people online.
Now here we are some 15+ years later and social network have grown up. Or HAVE they?
I was boucning around on my flickr account where I post pictures only of objects, never of family, etc. Too many freaks out there. But I have
started to notice a trend in a lot of the member accounts that I frequent because I like their photographs. In the comments
are you start to get a feel for people. And might I just say...there appear to be a LOT of self loathing people who clearly
suffer from depression and other things.
It seems, atleast a portion, of the youth who have come on to these types of sites are there to almost reach out/scream for
some sort of attention/ego boosting. I almost feel sorry for a lot of the people on there.
don't think this is real? There was some teen that just killed herself because one of her so called "online friends" suddenly dumped her
because she heard she was not nice to her friends. As it turns out...the "friend" was the mother of a girl whom this girl had had an argument
with just down the street.
So sad.

Sure, I suppose it will make holiday shopping a little difficult but hell, if we don't send a clear message to the powers that
be over there, then they will just continue to send their crap over here. They need US a lot more then we need THEM.

MLB Can Kiss My Ass
With the grand jury indictment of Barry "I never did steroids" Bonds today, I cant help but be
saddened by the fact that they waited until AFTER the baseball season was over, and Barry had his chance to
break the homerun record.
What a disgrace.
Major League Baseball has become a joke. I really don't know if I'll respect it enough to actually take my family to another
game. Why fork over money to a bunch of over-paid, over-stimulated assholes.

Piano Man Still Has It
Just got back from seeing Billy Joel in Concert and I MUST say...that man has STILL got it. Not only
can he play the piano like nobody's business but he can still sing his songs and hit the high notes...(unlike Elton John who does not even TRY to
hit the high notes anymore).
He sure is an entertainer as well. Because he was in Seattle they broke into a rendition of
Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" and later had a long time stage hand bust into the AD/DC song "Highway to Hell" which
put the crowd into a frenzy.

Just watched the last few minutes of the Seahawk game and saw them lose in overtime to the Browns.
If the Seattle Seahawks cant either (a) Go for it with 2 seconds left when they are on the 2 yard line of the Browns to WIN it,
and or get 1/2 a yard to get a 1st down...then they DESERVE to lose the game.
And...if they don't have a running back (Shawn "I'm Making Millions for nothing" Alexander) that cant GET them those 2 simple
amounts...then he deserves to be FIRED!

I'm sitting here watching Planet of the Apes, the original with Charlton Heston, and he and his shipmates just crashed
back on planet Earth. (They don't know this yet). They are walking along...no sign of life then...BAM...they find a plant growing.
So what do they do? They KILL it!
One of the guys says "Life" then they all bend down and dig the plant out of the ground.
Wow, good thing they did not land on mars and see an alien. What were they going to do then? "QUICK...SHOOT IT!"

So the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) just reported that 75% of their fake
bombs made it through security at the Los Angeles Airport.
Huh? I'm sorry but shouldn't this fall under some sort of "national security" umbrella? ie: Don't fricken announce it to the
world, some of whom ARE terrorists)....that hey...they have a 75% of getting a REAL bomb through security, specifically at
the Los Angeles Airport?!?!?!?
Does the TSA now stand for "Terrorist Should Attack (here)" ?!?!?!?
If security sucks, fix it. Don't announce it.

For Whom The Bell Tolls
I am a Seattle Mariners fan. As such, this means (by default) I have a common understanding about
a couple of things. (1) I hate the Yankees. (2) As with most Seattle based teams, we will choke in the end. (3) A-Rod
is a money grubbing whore who might be a good baseball player but now is public enemy to Mariners Fans, Rangers Fans, and by all
accounts even Yankees fans now. (See post season record).
That being said, today it was announced that the Joe Torre years are officially over in New York. I actually
find it kind of sad. Why? Well, I had heard that Steinbrenner was a bit off an ass but I never new by how much. They
actually offered Joe a 1 year contract deal worth $5 million bucks. A LIFETIME amount of money for most people but less then
what he had been making.
In short...make him an offer that JOE will refuse, thus making HIM look like he ended the relationship. Not Steinbrenner and his boys.
This whole thing kinda "stinks" to me. If I were a Yankee fan, I would be asking for Steinbrenner to step down. What a weasel.

So cnn.com is reporting that
Microsoft has opened a site called healthvault.com. It's a site where you can manage your personal health and medical information.
I have only one thing to say about that...
ARE YOU NUTS?!?!
This company continues to build crap software that any Tom, Dick, and 12 year old can create a virus to penetrate. I have to spend X'
amount of money each year just to keep a virus program running to keep THEIR shitty software "somewhat" safe. Do they HONESTLY think
I would trust them with my PERSONAL medical information?
Dream on Microsoft. Go back to figuring out why you cant have come up with anything innovative for the past 15 years. They are just in a constant
game of catch up with Google, Apple...and...well, just about anybody. (Oh, and now they are dumping Bungie...the company that made them
their Halo franchise).
