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.

Wait? What? Where have I been? I didn't hear anything like that. Where's the link to these said pictures?
You wanna see someone on the toilet? Go to everydaystrangers site. She, as usual, looks adorable.

I've heard tell of such pictures, but am currently at work. So that'll have to wait for later.
As far as toilet shots, I can't
believe you've never heard of this. I've actually got a couple of you on the crapper Paul. I mean, I didn't bother to tell you I took them because...well, seriously, what's a few commode pics between buddies? Practically half the Christmas photos we get each year are of friends and family perched on porcelain thrones. Get with the program!

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.

My favorite things about this whole mess is that it assumes or infers a hell of a lot of stupidity on the public.
First, we gave a politician an Oscar for a movie he made. I thought when politicians made movies they were called 'propaganda'?
Secondly, Gore tells us to tighten our belts out home while he and every other politico feast on consumables: riding in jets to and fro across the nation, while their homes drain their consituents power grids. Oh, but it's okay, because they fund local green initiatives. Psha, the equivalent of some form of environmental indulgence that allows them to gorge themselves on fossil fuels while still pontificating to us, all without feeling guilty.

I fucking hate hypocrisy, I like the fact he helped put the movie out but if he isn't going to pony up his own contribution fuck... what a prick.
Turn the lights off Mr. Gore. Turn down the AC Mr. Gore. Don't be an ignorant fuck Mr. Gore.
If everyone lived like he is we'd have been all screwed years ago...

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.

"You're
such a neanderthal; okay? Look, Anna Nicole showed us what it is to be a true, modern, human being; o
kay?"
Seriously, I'm with you. Her death is sad, the manner and place in which it happened are sad; but the truly shitty part is there's a poor little goddamned kid in there somewhere. A fricking infant who will know nothing but what history leaves of her own mother. And at this point, history ain't lookin' too kind. Talk about 'fucked up'.
PS = Mofo, you and yours need to come up here this summer and enjoy this wonderful weather we get. Round 'bout June or so the air gets nice, without a lot of moisture; and the seafood season is wide-ass open. If ya'll don't show up, now; I promise to take a highly
personal offense!

All I know is that it was 27 degrees when I got up this morning; and it's been like this for several weeks, a fair shade more frigid than it was at any point last winter. I mean, at this point I'm thinking 'Global warming my hairy left nut!' If it's warming, it sure as hell isn't global. Seriously though, I'm all for global warming, it'll help keep my fuel oil consumption (and costs) down; which is a good thing for many reasons. But beyond that, there are innumerable windfall blessings of a little harmless global warming: longer growing seasons in many parts of the world, longer bikini seasons in many parts of the world, never having to fucking freeze my ass off again...

Check your sources man... that dude works for the Natural Resources Stewardship Project....
Here's a strategy goal of there's:
"NRSPÂ’s first campaign is focused on dispelling the notion that Canada needs CO2 reduction plans. CO2 is very unlikely to be a substantial driver of climate change and is not a pollutant. Global climate change is primarily a natural phenomenon and so governments should focus on solving environmental problems over which we have influence (air, land and water pollution being obvious examples). NRSP will articulate a vision that also promotes assisting our most vulnerable citizens adapt to climate change while encouraging continued research in this exceptionally complex field."
That's like saying "The creation of life is too complex to be understood... it must have been Intelligent Design! Maybe we should just continue on with business as usual"
Oh yeah... and all those scientists out there proving us wrong? Yeah THEY are the ones that are wrong... oh and CO2 isn't a pollutant. wow... just wow.

Oorgo, I understand what you're saying, but everyone is funded by somebody with an agenda. Look who's funding the whole Global Warming (TM) agenda here in the states - Al Gore and every thinktank with an axe to grind against the administration and/or the oil companies. Which pretty much means anyone.
Everyone has an agenda, and whoever has the most $$ and the most exposure is going to be the most widely heard. The fact is that global warming and cooling has been coming and going in cycles for thousands of years. Ask your parents if they remember the global cooling hubub of the 70's. If they haven't, I'm sure they've heard of the ice age. Was it humanity's CO2 production that brought us out of that? Seriously, look at the projections of the kinds of CO2 levels that were being belched into the air during the early Industrial Age. London was farting coal dust into the air like you wouldn't believe. All I'm really doing here is trying to muddy the waters, and to show two things:
1. Everyone's got a bankroller with an agenda, hence everyone has; by proxy, and agenda
2. Man is so busy jacking himself off in the mirror that he doesn't bother to notice that the ecosystem is a living, breathing organ whose evolutionary control greatly (immensely, exponentially, pulchritudinously) outweighs that of all of man's interventions. Like your skin, Earth is covered with billions of tiny little organizsms, and it adapts to their picadillos in an effort to survive. So don't be worried that a degree or two of extra warmth is going to destroy the ecosystem. It may destroy us, but then; that may be just what the doctor ordered.

No that is the truth Shank, I've said that all along... the earth will remain, it's just US that won't be here, or anywhere else for that matter. We don't have a target of another inhabitable planet and even if we did we don't have the technology to get there.
I'm such a happy person sometimes it even surprises me
