People are nuts

By now IÂ’m sure everyone has seen the pics of that chick on American Idol that found their way on to the Internet. IÂ’ve seen quite a few of them, including the ones of her posing in a bikini on the WWII Monument. In addition to that display of exceptionally poor judgment and taste, there were some other pics, allegedly of her, giving a hummer to someone. And, of course, a shot of her sitting on the toilet.

One of her friends came out to say that the more graphic shots are not really her. I think I even accept that as the truth. But hereÂ’s the best part from that article:

"It's the way this town is: Everybody knows everything about their friends," said Mark Dillon, 17. "At least half the people in this town have pictures of their friends on the toilet. I've personally seen at least 20. It's only because she's on TV that they're online."

Well, that sounds like quite a town. Somehow, in my long life, I have never seen shots of any of my friends sitting on the toilet. I was always a pretty popular guy too. Maybe itÂ’s just this one particular town where toilet shots are mandatory. After all, this chap says heÂ’s personally seen twenty of his friends in photos of them sitting on a toilet. And heÂ’s only seventeen. Imagine how many toilet shots he will have seen if he lives a long healthy life in that town. Perhaps IÂ’m missing something. Am I the only one not photographing people on the toilet?

And while I have no idea what type of person this girl is, I do take issue with her posing like a pin-up, in a bikini, on the WWII Monument. ThatÂ’s just bad taste. Personally, I like chicks in bikinis, but posing on the WWII Monument is pretty insulting to what that monument stands for.

It doesnÂ’t seem to bother some people, however:

"She's this attractive, talented girl who's also intelligent and knows where she wants to go," Reid said. "I consider her a role model for my daughter."

On a related note:

Her first performance on which viewers could vote, a rendition of Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," was roundly panned by the judges.

A REALLY inconvenient truth

Read it and not be surprised.

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization, issued a press release late Monday:

“Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).”

This guy consumes more power in a month than most people do all year!

“In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, GoreÂ’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

GoreÂ’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for GoreÂ’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.”


What an asshole.

Obvious and Obligatory Blog Post #58018

Britney Spears shaved her head.

Seriously, like we didn't see this one coming. Afterall, she's a middle child; and as such is predisposed to being an avid attention whore. So let's all gawk and stare at the crazy person.

5 to 1 her next album sells in packs of 15 as commemorative coasters. Takers?

Who Cares?

No matter where I go I am assaulted by media reports regarding Anna Nicole Smith.

First off, I barely know who the hell she is. I think sheÂ’s some broad who married a 90 year old man, obviously for the checkbook. ThatÂ’s about the extent of my knowledge. But judging by the media youÂ’d think she split the fucking atom. Everywhere I turn itÂ’s nothing but news about this woman. Does anyone give a shit?

Please stop the madness.
