Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for Hell? Great song

Ahh... Merle Haggard.... What the!... Oh! Hey
Sorry, I thought you might have been a pack of slightly agitated, potentially aggravated, and absolutely intimidated rabid chinchillas.

Tonight, minions, we shall be talking about politics. Why, Barrack Obama. Sort of

Let me explain. Our president tweeted the following last night:

"The other side is counting on you staying home this Nov. They’re counting on your silence. They are betting on your apathy. Prove them wrong"

It irritated me because it calls Republicans "The other side". I mean don't get me wrong, I dislike Republicans as much as, if not more, than the next guy, but I don't like making them out to be the enemy. Sure they are the opposite side of the coin from the Democrats but we're all on the same sinking ship.

Now before my political beliefs are incorrectly inferred, I dislike Democrats almost as much as Republicans.

So I want to take the soapbox and say that we all need to work together to keep the fat lady from singing.

But Americans are a little reluctant to sign on to anything without imagery. So I've been doing what I call Experiments For The Betterment of Society. But what my critics call "Abominations". But what do they know. My first... um... trial run was using actual politicians. I gave the world Bill-john McClinton.



When he started eating illegal immigrants, I got a lot of praise from the Right, but he nonetheless had to be put down. All evidence has been destroyed though, so I can wash my hands clean.



I switched to raiding circuses for volunteers and came up with the perfect symbol to unify Americans, bring this country to full world dominance!

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you ....
The Republocrat!

I'm Back Bitches (and Bastards, Respectively)!

How Long has it been? A question I dare not dig through the annals for a legitimate answer. But the important thing is that I am here, for today at least.
Why all of sudden? Maybe its the large amounts of George Carlin I've been ingesting, or the excessive amounts of Richard Pryor I've inhaled lately. Or maybe It's being told something is off limits for comedy!
Censorship... My old nemesis, we meet again. Especially when I find the subject completely within reason. But I think we'll just come back to that. First lets get re-acquainted.
How have you been? That's cool
Oh, is she better? That's good to hear.
Where's he workin' now? Good money? Yup, yup. It's hard times.

Ok! now that that's outta the way... Sorry, I wasn't really listening... just kidding, I'm not sorry.

In the mean time, I've seen movies and concerts, they were good but I didn't write reviews, and I don't know why. I've been in a sort of brain-block mode. But Today....

Here it is, in the spirit of my comedy heroes, your anecdote of the day.

I walk in to this prison-camp called work, this morning. And I'm struck speechless. A female coworker got a haircut. A haircut very similar to another (male) coworker's haircut. So I say "Did you guys plan this?" So I get pulled aside and told "She's been getting a lot of flack for that so don't be mean".

If the haircut is offend-able then don't cut your hair that way! If I walk down the street wearing a three sizes too small ninja turtle shirt and a banana hammock, I'm gonna expect jokes. I would wear pants if I didn't want jokes. But I chose the man-thong! I'm embracing the man-thong! If I don't feel bad about it, somebody remarking on it shouldn't hurt me right? Damn Skippy!

If you don't want someone to say a man-thong looks funny, don't wear a man thong. If you're offended, it obviously can't be liked by you that much. That's all I'm saying. People need to toughen up. If I like someone, I joke with them. If somebody finds my shenanigans hurtful... Just know I think you're cool, but your haircut is retarded.

Oh and here is a pic of me, Carlin, and Pryor.... Damn we was old then. Enjoy

In other news: Megaman has been found after years.

Procrastination.

Greeeeeeen

Now I am not one for giving a shit about energy and all. But there is some pretty damn innovative thinkers out there. First, this Danish hotel is going to pass out things like meal vouchers to those who pedal a bicycle for energy to power the hotel.

Who the f*** wants to pedal a bike in a hotel. I would want to raid the damn mini bar.

Next is a frog city (France) wants to add embedded microsensors to the ground to generate electricity from pedestrians walking on it. This has also been invented by some Dutch douche. WTF is going on here, am I missing something.

Just in case anyone is interested or cares, the original Xbox live support was cut today. It is a sad day for those who can not move on.

Watching your back

Apparently one needs to be careful when Tweeting because the US Congress wants to archive your Tweets. I knew this day was coming, I just didn't think it would be so soon. Anything you write online will be accessible to someone out there or aggregated by different services and can be searched by the government. Wired has an article that explains more of the issue. I think I will be tweeting my last one tweet soon. Also Facebook is already archived and used by the government.

I think the rule of thumb is : be careful, you do not know what is going to be read by who. This is especially true when you go to look for your next job. So be careful what you tweet and put on your Facebook.

The US government and potential future employers aside, certain websites crawl and aggregate data, making up profiles of everyone based on what they find under automated searches and the like. I already have a lot out there, maybe its time to stop!
