That arrogant bastard, Mel Gibson, needs his ass beat with the baseball bat he threatened his girl friend with.... he needs his teeth knocked out, he needs to be humbled, and humbled good.
I'll never watch another movie, tv show, or commercial that has anything to do with that jerk.
The alcohol has eaten too many brain cells. Maybe he'll drown in his own alcohol induced vomit.

They've Done It Again
Congress. They've done it again. You know... the politicians who claim to be looking out for our good. They defeated the bill that would allow unemployment benefits to be extended, cause everyone knows you don't give money to poor people. They just waste it on food. Then they repealed the bill that reduced the fees doctors could charge patients and we all know how much doctors need money. After all, those malpractice insurance premiums cost a pretty penny. (No need to stop the malpractice and get rid of the incompetent doctors... just buy more insurance.)
And don't get me started on the Bush/Cheney war. We're in year nine, I believe, going on ten. Ten years of war. Mission accomplished.

Bing Crap
What's up with MSN and Bing? They must have a thing goin' on... or sumpin. I see a headline on MSN's home page that I'd like to read so I click on the link and what do I get? I get a damn Bing search result page. WTF is that about? If I wanted to search I would have personally put in a search key in a search engine of my choise. If I want to read something and I click on a hot link.... I DON'T EXPECT TO GO TO ANOTHER SEARCH PAGE!
Yes, I am sometimes ungrateful. Why do you ask?
Bottom line, I won't be doing much clicking on headlines on msn.com since it will, no doubt, take me to another search engine. I will go directly to a search engine of MY CHOICE and key in the search key. I don't need yet another level of advertising. In fact I think I'm going to change my homepage from msn.com to something else.
So there!

BravoTv Sucks
What a bunch of tease and for what?
I'm cranky today and BravoTV isn't helping. It was my understanding that one could watch their programs on their web site. Apparently that's not true. Gasp. Its not true? But they said!
I just went to watch the second episode of Work of Art but all they have up is the first episode. Well, Dove.... I won't be watching any of your ads because, you know, I've already seen the first episode. How much money did you pay to have your ads viewed?
And I almost felt like buying some Dove soap the next time I need some. Now I'm not so sure, because,...well, because I'm crusty and I'm cranky. Two bad combinations.
PS...I'm still cranky. I've just been to the site again and disappointment prevails. Even when I click on "watch the photos", only four show up. Example, watch Miles pick his junk 1 - 17 photos. It goes to four and stops. I may not be making sense and its probably just as well since I'm cranky. Not to worry. No more comments about Work of Art. Why, you may ask.... because I can't watch the show. If its not on their web site, then too bad for me. I'm shit out of luck.

Things That Make You Go HMMMMMMM
The media continues to scream cutbacks/increased taxing by various levels of government. What makes me go OHMYGAWD! is the thought that with a 10% unemployment rate our city and state government can't survive. Like, OMG.... was it so fragile it can't survive a 5% decrease in funding? What the hell is going on, any damn way?
Okay, I can hear the imaginary numbers people saying wait a minute. you said 10% unemployment rate but a 5% decrease in funding. Hey stupid. That doesn't add up. Well, my little chickadees, it does add up if you start with the "normal" unemployment rate of 5% which is fairly constant. That means the increased decrease in funding is 5%. (I've rounded up or down, as the case may be, to simplify things for me because I'm not a math/numbers person. And I'm spending way too much time, explaining myself.)
How much of this funding issue is due to mismanagement? Will all the incompetent people please step down. You know who you are. (This should pretty much empty the council room.)
While speaking of governments, let me babble on a little about our city government. Where the hell did these people come from? Is it a case of "oh gee, I can't seem to be able to do anything so I better go into politics to make a living."
We've managed to vote in a real winner for mayor. He's a proven liar and he has demonstrated his poor decision making skills by getting caught in a sex scandal. With an intern, no less. Talk about shitting where you eat. EEUUUU! (There's also a question of underaged sex, but it couldn't be verified.) How smart is that?! Zip up you're damn pants when you're on the job!
I think what has really pissed off the voters, though, is that this mayor took money from the water bureau to fund painting bike lanes around the city. Our sewer charges are out of sight as it is, and he's taking money from them like its his own personal bank account. And guess what we're facing now? Yup, another hike in our water/sewer rates. The mayor must have some more bike lanes to paint and maintain, the little trucker!
On to another commissioner... I was watching the news one evening. They were showing video of a large fire and who's standing on the roof with some of the firefighters? The damn commissioner who oversees the fire department. WTF? Apparently he use to be a firefighter, but that in no way makes it okay for him to get in the way of the REAL firefighters. They have to worry about his stupid ass instead of paying close attention to what they're doing. What a stupid juvenile thing to do... like, what the hell??!!
Although I'm stupid enough to become a politian, I'm at least smart enough to stay the hell away from politics. You know, except for voicing my opinion.

Do You Feel Outrage?
The police beating of the University of Maryland student after a basketball game, the beating that was caught on tape... do you feel outrage? I feel OUTRAGE!!!
(you can read about it here and see the video while the article is available online.)
I hope the student wins his lawsuit and wins BIG. Then I hope the officers involved lose their jobs immediately. And I also hope that those most guilty get thrown in jail or prison. Lets see how big and bad they are then, the dirty little thugs in uniform. Its outrageous. If they get away with this, then we need to just shut up and prepare to live in a police state.
Next on the list is the chief of police, the commissioner, followed by the mayor. Shit travels downhill. If this kind of conduct happens its because its condoned by the bosses.
I hope the other students who got beaten by the police (to set examples) also sue and win.
This kind of outrage has gone on forever, only now we have video cameras.... all over the place. Perhaps with more cameras, we'll get more of the truth.
Around my neck of the woods, cops have been doing a lot of killings lately. Based on my limited knowledge of what truly happens (relying on the media and we all know how accurate that is), a few of them seemed warranted for the safety of all in the area. The rest of them, not so much. If you are mentally ill, or you know someone who is, NEVER call the cops for help should there be a crisis of sort. If you do call them, start looking in the phone book for a funeral home because you are likely to need one. The cops shoot first and ask questions later. And there's no such thing as innocent until proven guilty. Unless, of course, you are a police officer. Then you're a god.
Be outraged! Be outraged and let your public "servants" know you are outraged.
