pro wrestling is anti-american

 Now I bet you're thinking, "...what? pro wrestling is as american as apple pie." well a few days ago I would have been inclined to agree with you. Until I saw the latest WWE on Comcast commercial. I'll sum it up for you. Two guys (wrestlers) are 
dressed like they're straight out of 1776, one is holding a fake constitution, which the two guy procede to fight over and then rip. As if that wasn't enough before the commercial is over they pretend to break the liberty bell. I'm not even american and this commercial offended me. What does ripping the constitution have to do with wrestling? Whoever wrote this for the WWE needs to be fired, and the two morons who actually acted in the commercial should be sent to a third world country run by a totalitarian government, where they can see what it's really like to not have any constitutional rights.

Obama=Osama? and Jack the...strangler???

Hardly...I just thought the title sounded funny. But in the title bout Clinton vs. Obama, who will win? On one side the legend herself. Former first lady, and senator for New York, the feared and respected Hillary Clinton. And on the other side, the up and coming political rock star from Illinois, Barack Obama. Neither has confirmed a run at the white house in '08 but everyone seems to think one or both will. For my money I'm throwing in with Barack. I think this guy has what it takes to get the votes. He's young, he charismatic, he's completely different from Bush (not just that Barack is a democrat and Bush is a Republican) but speaking styles. And not to be sexist or racist but I think it far more likely a black male will take the white house before a white woman will. Although this country could benefit from a woman at the helm...maybe in 2012.

Jumping around abit it seems we have another grisly legend in the making back across the pond. England, known of course for Jack the Ripper, Dr. Harold Shipman, The West couple, and the british Jeffrey Dahmer aka. Dennis Nilsen. Has a strangler running wild around Ipswitch. Body count so far is five women, all alleged "ladies of the night". Now doctors think he may be losing control and allowing impulse to take over. Which on one hand means more victims, possibly moving from hookers to housewives or any other ladies out past bedtime and unescourted. On a good note though as soon as impulse takes over, the "strangler of ipswitch" is likely to become sloppy and get caught. So heres to the lads and ladies over at Scotland Yard. Nail this fucker A.S.A.P.

constantly connected

Sometimes it's nice to be able to walk for a bit without worrying if any of the spots between point A and point B are wi-fi enabled, or how the cell signal is in that area. I went for a walk today. Nearly every car I saw had someone with either a cellphone to their ear or a bluetooth headset. Everyone was listening to music from their cd players with ipod integration and the monthly subscription to either xm or sirius radio. What a world we live in, where children on one side of the country are born knowing what a laptop is or how to configure a wireless network, and kids on the other side of the country aren't getting enough to eat. Where Mr. such and such has a Blackberry glued to his hand like some sort of life support device, while Mr. this and that is having his home forclosed by the bank.
This is quite an age of parallels.

popping in to say hello

It's been quite a while since my last political blog, but for the most part I've been too busy enjoying life too pay attention to all the crap that's been going on around the world. I've noticed though that managing several blogs at once can be a little overwhelming. So I think it's about time to consolidate. From now on I'll just post in this blog no matter what the topic.

sketch shows

for a long time now i've been making funny stories, jokes, cartoons, songs, and videos but a few days ago Rachel said something to me "when are you going to start marketing your ideas" and although she's said this very same thing to me a number of times it might just be time to act on this. What i'd love to do, and i'm sure others feel the same way" is create a old school mishmash of cartoons, and sketches, similar to monty's pythons flying circus only with a more modern spin and modern themes. Nothing quite as clumsy as MAD TV or SNL which over time has lost their way. so over the next few months i hope to create more material and put my head together with a few like minded individuals (if i can find any) and see about an online show.

Enjoy

time certainly does fly when you're having fun

Several times since my last blog in May, Rachel has commented on how long it's been since I wrote anything. Well here I am, Tuesday evening in late July finally putting fingers to keys.

-There have been so many "political" things going on since 2000 it's easy to get lost in all the scandels and war. Even in the last two weeks we've seen the Middle East flare-up again like a bad case of genital herpes. I'm referring of course to the conflict between Israel and Hezbolah. Not to forget a brewing conflict to the north with Russia and Georgia, or to the East with North Korea and ...everyone. But rather than focus on those issues, I want instead to focus on the passing away of a veritable titan of the corporate scandal. None other than Ken Lay. Most people know who he is and why he was so well known, but for anyone who might just have an idea who he was let me catch you up to date.

Kenneth Lee "Ken" Lay (April 15, 1942 – July 5, 2006), was an American businessman, best known for his role in the widely-reported corruption scandal that led to the downfall of Enron Corporation. Lay and Enron became synonymous with corporate abuse and accounting fraud when the scandal broke in 2001. Lay was the CEO and chairman of Enron from 1986 until his resignation on January 23, 2002, except for a few months in 2001 when he was chairman and Jeffrey Skilling was CEO.

Thanks to Wikipedia for that little clip.

It seems almost like a sick joke that Ken died before he could serve what i'm sure would have been an amazing jail sentence and although religious types all over will shake their heads and say with conviction that he may be dead but he's paying for it in Hell. Which may or may not be the case but the point i'm getting around to is that not only did this man first strip his employees of their retirement and shareholders of their investment, he took one final thing to his grave...a tangible punishment. This man deserved to rot away the rest of life in a big scary jail with an equally big and scary cell mate (to help ward off those cold, cold winters) The people he wronged deserved to see him suffer for the suffering he put them through. Now that he's gone people are supposed to forgive and forget...let his memory rest in peace...bullshit.

In ancient times it didn't matter if your defeated enemy was dead, you still showed that rotting pile of skin who the man was by dragging his body around the city a few times, or by sacrificing his wife and kids to your god (almost always out in front of everyone).

THAT is a tangible punishment!

Let the people get some satisfaction out of knowing the scumbag is dead.
