Ya darn tootin'

Modern Marvels

I'm always impressed how they get so much toothpaste into that last inch. One of science's great achievements!

At first I was feeling charitable and decided to give this guy a pass for showing such bad form and showing up in Beijing wearing the official "your country is foul and toxic" symbol on his face. We all know how we Americans love our fear!

But then this one comes along and it's time to blog.





This lady from the American team that is not going to win the gold medal and get freaky in the sand, plays beach volleyball. Because its beach volleyball, the ball and everything else gets sandy, there are attendants around the court bearing towels for the players to wipe off when necessary. This particular young lady has no manners and never once acknowledged the people who gave her the towels. There is a saying that you don't really know what someone is really about until you see how they treat the help. I'm glad she lost.

Oh and since we're talking about sports, If you bother to go to Dodger Stadium for a game and have the best seat, right behind home plate, WATCH THE GAME!!! The beauty of high def is you see everything and if you chat with your pal or catch up on your phone calls while the Dodgers are batting, then DON'T SIT IN THE FRONT ROW!!!! I'm talking to you Vince Vaughn! You just insure that we hardcore fans will never go to your movies and watch you age as fast as David Bowie in The Hunger.

I'm Back!

So I was having some issues with my advertisers that never got resolved so I say, onward.

Is this guy for real? After a lifetime of sitting at the table and eating way more than his share, Mr. T. Boone Pickens has decided that we all need to go on a diet. While I have no problem with the argument that American needs to overcome it's oil lust, is this guy in any position to judge. Solar and wind power must replace oil, but I just don't like the messenger. His basic argument is that our dependence on oil is sending all of our money out of the country. He has no problem with oil lust when it lines his own pocket but giving it to a foreigner is more than he can take. Sounds a bit racist to me. And does he mention global warming and his role in it? That part must have ended up on the cutting room floor of his ubiquitous commercials.

And don't even get me started on his funding of Swift boat liars who torpedoed John Kerry.

It's good to be back.
