OH MY GOD! Glenn Beck is clearly a Nazi! (of course Glenn Beck is NOT a Nazi as my make believe lawyer vehemently tells me I should clarify) I mean, seriously – this picture is CLEAR proof! Just look at him giving the “Heil Hitler” salute!! Pictures don’t lie, do they!?
Of course Sarah Palin defends Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s racist comments . . . Dr. Laura is “one of her kind” (was that racist!? Oh you’re so sensitive! lol) . . . Sarah Palin is defending Dr. Laura’s RIGHT to free speech – she’s defending a constitutional RIGHT! WOW! Isn’t that what being American is about!? You might not like what Dr. Laura had to say, and perhaps it was offensive to many (oh, it was!), but like Palin points out – just because you don’t like what a person has to say doesn’t mean he/she doesn’t have the right to say it.
Here’s the clip in case you haven’t heard:
But ahhh . . . here’s something else – if you work for a private radio company and you say racist things on the air and your boss doesn’t want to renew your contract when it’s up (the article says that Dr. Laura chose not to continue once her contract is up, but for argument’s sake I’ll continue my take on the situation) because you’ve been a “bad employee” then is it not that boss’s RIGHT to do so? He/she does not have to resign a Dr. Laura or a Don Imus if they don’t want to. It’s their RIGHT!
Well, I guess automatic/mechanical arms coming out of the dash to grab your cell phone and throw it out the window if it senses you texting while driving is out of the question (or is it?), but seriously – I wish I could file this post under a “common sense” category that I haven’t created yet (common sense would lead you to believe I would’ve created one if I wanted it so badly, but ehh . . . whatever).
Isn’t just common sense that while texting you must look at the phone at one point or the other – no matter how good you think you are at it – your eyes will come off the road to check to see if you are texting the correct person that “ur goin 2 lunch – will c u l8r” – a message, of course, that seemingly doesn’t NEED to be sent, and was unimportant enough NOT to be sent in 1975, 1985, and 1995 – now, all of a sudden, every little thing (including stupid jokes, which I’m very guilty of) must be texted at any time possible.
Hey, I won’t lie – HAVE I texted while driving before? Yes – I have – so I don’t want to stand on my soap box with a downcast view among people who do text while driving – I understand and get how easy it is, and how strongly you feel, “I got this – it’s not a problem,” but honestly – and I don’t need to sign freken anything Oprah wants me to sign to come to terms with this – what the hell is SO important that you can’t text it once you arrive at your destination? Hey, you’re running late and you want to text your friends to go ahead and book that table and you’ll be right there? Fine – use your hands free and call the person, or how’s this for a crazy idea – at least pull over and send that “all important text” or AT THE VERY LEAST do it at a red light. Sure, the guy behind you will probably beep and curse at you for not noticing the light has changed to Green, but at least (and I mean very least, because let’s face it – texting should NOT be happening behind the wheel - let us not forget the big train crash in California a couple years back where the engineer was texting right before the accident – food for thought next time you’re running late to Friendly’s for your friends 23rd B-day Bash!)
Here’s my question: Tickets, fines, making it illegal – yeah – I guess we can argue the effectiveness of that, but can we really, being that I constantly see people doing it!? No matter how high the fines people still want to text and drive. So with that said, what should be done (other than my mechanical arms out of the dashboard idea) to make people realize just how dangerous it is to text while drive?
Bottom Line: I have no problem with texting while riding jet skis – in fact – I’d love to see it done! haha
Do you think one of your “Friends” – you know, the one that was once married to Brad Pitt and gets her “unlucky in love” personal life thrown about the tabloids as if we all should give a damn (of course I’m talking about Jennifer Aniston, the most dangerous influence on young America since, well, since Obama gave that speech that was televised to school children about how they should do well in school and work hard – Jeez what a terrible message, what was he thinking!?!?).
According to this AOL Popeater article, Bill O’Reilly (America’s “Culture Warrior” extraordinaire) finds Aniston to be “destructive to society” after she made comments while promoting her new movie, The Switch, that basically say if women want to have/raise a child on their own they can/should and could do so without a man if necessary – to sum it up, she said, “times have changed” – that basically (of course I’m paraphrasing) a man is no longer needed as much as they were in the past.
. . . doesn’t lead anyone to my blog anymore? If I would get 113 hits in one day, 97 of those would be from people searching the word “Guidos” – now, nobody gets to my page searching Guidos and I get an embarrassing 8 to 17 hits per day – why out of nowhere the lack of results with the word Guidos? If anyone out there could help me with that I’d GREATLY appreciate it!!
Once again it’s the asinine, xenophobic, and one-track “see the world only through MY religion” -type comments made on this article that got me riled up enough to actually write a blog this morning (which is shocking, because due to my anti-seizure medicine I’ve been about as energetic as a bullfrog – don’t bullfrogs just sit around all day??).
The article deals with a very “hot button” issue that even I have dealt with on this blog. It’s about all the opposition that exists in America’s “Heartland” with regards to the attempts of Muslims to build new houses of worship – also known as Mosques (a very simple description for people who think the only house of worship is a church – of course I kid, I know the people who come to this blog are smarter than smart).
First of all, watching show totally makes me happy that I no longer go out to clubs or loud bars. I’m knocking on 30, and all I want to do is go somewhere I can sit and relax with quiet chill music – I guess being engaged changes things – if I were single I’m sure my “going out” phase would come back, but I’m trying to nix alcohol from my life completely (maybe a lil wine here and there) especially since the doc just told me today to stay away from it as it could trigger more seizures . . . and who needs more seizures!?
Apparently it’s some questionnaire from another reality show JWoww (of course of “Jersey Shore” fame) tried to get on – I couldn’t care less about what show it was or what type of car she drives (ohhhh a BMW – go figure! I bet it’s a 3 series!!) . . . anyway – I want to draw your attention to what the producer included in their “Producer’s Notes” section: PRODUCER’S NOTES:
– Loves upstate New York
– She’s into tall, dark handsome guys who love dogs and are outgoing, very business type
– Cut off BF [Boyfriend's] fingers with a sword
– A+
Okay. Upstate New York. Whatever – I enjoy it during the fall when the leaves change yadda yadda . . . but let’s jump to the 2nd to last one: “Cut off BF [Boyfriend's] fingers with a sword”
WTF!? Or as normal non-internet people would say . . . WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
First of all, did she do any time or pay any fees? Cause that sure as hell sounds illegal to me! Secondly . . . a sword!? A SWORD!? Who the hell has swords just laying around like that!? (besides Mel Gibson of course).
Bottom Line: JWoww may currently reside in my official hometown of Franklin Square, Long Island, NY – but at least I can be proud in saying she was NOT born there. Holy crap she’s insane!
One week has passed since last Thursday’s much anticipated premiere of the 2nd season of MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” Clearly, I was excited and couldn’t help but join in on the “Guido extravaganza” - but just like I yo-yo with my own excitement and involvement with this blog (apparently so do my “readers” based on the latest roller coaster ride in hits) I also yo-yo with “Jersey Shore.”
