"We order by the tractor-trailer"
Local business commercials are so awesome and this one is a shining example in Atlanta Metro. What got my attention and made it memorable for me, besides being so raw, is its call to action and the reasoning behind it: Police respond slowly and home alarms are not effective, so come here and buy yourself some guns.
The production value here is about as solid as many YouTube videos you might see. Also, the actors are probably family, friends or possibly even regular store employees. There’s even a seen with someone’s dog walking through their warehouse. The only thing this is missing is the owner’s grandkids waving at the camera or holding up guns. Maybe they can add that to their future ads.

Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson do not represent Georgians
Some how, back in October when this passed through the Senate 68-30 it didn’t make as much news as it does today with getting signed into law. Now it is hitting a lot of our radars. Maybe it wasn’t so much news then because it passed, but the news today is that 30 male republican senators voted against it.
I read through Sen. Franken’s amendment (SA.2588) to the FY2010 Defense Appropriations Bill. It says it will stop funding defense contractors who deny sexual assault victims access to courts through arbitration clauses in their employment contracts. Please go read it for yourself, but my understanding is that the amendment says in cases of rape, assault, harrasment and so on, alledged victims would have access to real courts instead of corporately run and funded arbitrations.

Snowball-Cop rangles a hippy with just one hand!
An un-named off-duty detective and Hummer owner (AKA: Snowball-Cop) comes under attack on DC’s mean streets just as his Hummer gets stuck in the snow.
Instead of calling for back-up like some kind of wussy, Snowball-Cop steps down from his ride and takes out his pistol, unafraid of snowballs still flying in from the mob. Sedans, minivans, and other SUVs somehow manage to avoid whatever trap these terrorists set out for him and crawl past the scene — their drivers feeling lucky they escaped a similar fate. Read more…
- What a six year-old looks like wishing he would have been a better liar like dad wanted.
Sunday morning news is suposed to be a wrap-up of everything important that came up over the previous week. This Sunday, however, most of it is devoted to the Colorado’s Heene family’s balloon project.
With health care reform, the war in Afghanistan, Pakistan under terrorist attacks, and everything else, this story is dominating the Sunday morning news cycle here for some damn reason. My guess as why is it originates from a family’s manipulation of the media and lead to major embarassment of the industry.
The Heene family was (and possibly still is) media gold: relatively good looking parents and children who do interesting things, have energy, and are not shy about signing reality show waivers. They’d already been featured on Wife Swap and were pursuing their own reality show.
Thursday, my cousin decided we should all go out with her to find a suitable casket and make sure she is buried next to her mom. In all there were six of us shuffling awkwardly around her in the funeral home – seven when her boyfriend showed up to pump out the tea, water and broth from her small intestine.
She’d been fighting a losing fight with appendix cancer which had spread to grow a tumor completely blocking off her small intestine. Anything she ingested had to be pumped out. Read more…
I’m usually one of the first people who defend the allegedly elitist, leftist, out-of-touch, communist Hollywood types when one of them decides to make some kind of statement about politics or whatever.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, right? If you really feel strongly about something and you have an opportunity to advance your agenda or help a cause you feel deserves your help, then who can fault you for that.
Also, a lot of times I agree with them: like when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went to New Orleans and adopted all those kids from all over or George Clooney speaks out on Darfur. However, I always have a problem with folks who makes their decisions based on what a celebrity’s public stance might be. Come on, I’m not going to cast my vote for whatever guy who used to play president says I should. I digress …

Glenn Beck
Over the last month or so, I’ve been mesmerized by what I’ve been seeing and hearing out of Glenn Beck’s show on Fox News. Granted, a lot of his show is dedicated to expressing his opinions to which I do not typically agree. That said, there is more and more coming from that show which is just plain crazy, inaccurate and down-right entertaining!
CARS Paranoia
This is a clip from YouTube showing how the content from Glenn Beck’s program is starting to resemble forwarded email hoaxes.

Thumbs up if you're a douche
Literally, a douche is a medicinal application intended to sanitize the vagina. Douches actually kill off the naturally occurring bacteria that fight off infection and disease. Even though their ineffectiveness is widely known, douches are still in common use today. Douches merely mask the symptoms of conditions for which women should seek medical attention.
So a douche is something kind of gross that doesn’t really do anyone any good at all and still manages to hang around somehow.
Every day we hear more and more people referred to as douches, douche nozzles, douche bags and so on, but what does that mean? Can you tell if you are sitting next to a douche? Are you a douche?
In short, a douche is an asshole you can pity. Read more…
