Time to say goodbye…

…Alberto. It’s time you either stepped down or convinced your bullshit buddy the prez to impeach then pardon you. But either way, we’re done with you. If you think you’ve had it hard so far, I think Congress has much more in store. Get out while the getting is good.

Twice as many Atlantic hurricanes formed each year from 1995 to 2005, on average, than formed during parallel years a century ago finds a new statistical analysis of hurricanes and tropical storms in the north Atlantic. The researchers conclude that warmer sea surface temperatures and altered wind patterns associated with global climate change are responsible […]

So Confused…..

Just last week I’ve posted an article in which I opined that the TSA was releasing information regarding suspected terrorist plots in an effort to bolster their shitty reputation and garner a little bit of support from the average American. Now they have gone ahead and determined that cigarette lighters actually pose no threat […]

News Snippets

The collapse in confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is all but total among both Democrats and Republicans. Still, President Bush is standing by his longtime friend from Texas. Bush is known for his loyalty, but his reluctance to act this time is baffling Washington. [Link]
Three workers were killed and three others were badly […]

‘Toxic Toys’ Generate Legislation

I recently posted a link from the NY Times that indicated ALL of the toys recalled this year were manufactured in China. I guess I wasn’t the only person struck by this news. It has affected two of Michigan’s state lawmakers so much that they have introduced a law that would ban the […]

News Snippets

Charges by four Democratic senators that Gonzales repeatedly lied under oath, plus the latest subpoena, raised the stakes in the congressional fight with Bush over his refusal to allow aides to testify about the firing of nine prosecutors last year. [Link]
A man who had missed his flight to Memphis said there was a bomb aboard […]

I was a bit too weary to take on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales yesterday, but I’ve had a good nights sleep and I feel renewed and ready to take on the lying presidential puppet that is our ’chief law enforcement officer’. (I’m NOT making that up, it’s cribbed from the USDOJ website!)

The Judiciary Act […]

“The attorney general’s lost the confidence of the Congress and the American people,” said Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat. He described the department as “shrouded in scandal,” and told Gonzales: “I don’t trust you.” [Link]
LA Times kills editorial on how to revitalize both music and newspaper industries to avoid pissing off either. [Link]
“Resolution […]

The TSA would definitely love to convince us that they are an important piece in the anti-terrorist machine here in the US. After the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport blemish on their oh-so-impecable record (of delaying legitimate passengers for having bottles of explosive breast milk for their infants) the TSA needs either some good publicity […]

I swear to god, I can’t wait until November for these. Anyone know how I can get on the Beta Testers list?

Home Again

Well, we got back from our mini vacation in Vegas and boy, am I beat! I’ve got to admit that we had a really great time, but things are so much different there than they were just 7 years ago when I was there last.

I remember Las Vegas in July as being hot and […]

Fresh Pineapple

I’m rarely one to post things that could be construed as offensive, but this was just too funny to pass up. Read the pineapple ad carefully:

Look-Alikes

I saw this article on the English web site for the Daily Mail regarding the horrible explosion that rocked New York City today, caused apparently by a steam pipe. Just why are there steam pipes running underneath the streets of the city? Why could they possibly need to pipe steam anywhere?
Regardless, the first […]

Brooke had a gratuitous sighting of John Schneider this week while on assignment in Vegas!

The Coolest BOGO I’ve Ever Heard Of

There is a small shoe company that is out to make a difference. What they’ve done is to create on of the most innovative Buy One, Get One Free offers I’ve ever heard of. If you buy one pair of Tom’s Shoes the company will give one pair to a child in […]

Gizmodo links to a USA Today article that talks about a survey conducted by a Santa Monica firm, Interpret, LLC. The survey polled 200 owners of the iPhone and asked how satisfied they were with their phone; 90% indicated they were “extremely” or “very” satisfied with their phone. Although, this is a number that I […]

I found an interesting site out in the ether called "TheBlogNut.Net". It is a site dedicated to the donut. Yes, you read that correctly, the humble donut. And right now they are running a contest through the 24th of July with the first prize being the soundtrack for "The Simpsons Movie" that comes packed in […]

You’ll be weirdly repulsed by this!

Man, this is creepy as hell.  I’ve tried to put the clip here in the page but I’m not able to.  Here is a link to the video of the transformation of Michael Jackson over the years.
