Reality check

Ever since the High Lady called last week, I’ve been off my game with the blog. I thought I should address this so you know I’m aware of it and taking the necessary steps to fix the problem (huffing more fingernail polish). Thanks for your support during this time of crisis.

Sean Penn is a neocon

Scenario time. You passionately oppose the war in Iraq. You feel the need to speak out, but you know that every time you speak, you’re only hurting your cause. People who’ve come to hate the war, now like it to spite you. Why would you continue to speak? It’s because your name is Sean Penn,…

This isn’t an improvement

I guess I complained too early about the media name-dropping the Nebraska mall shooter. Now, we’re getting video footage of him walking into the mall and cocking his AK-47. Is our media capable of any restraint? Am I a moron to think this encourages other “troubled teens” to go psycho in front of security cameras?…

Guinness Records

The tall guy is the Guinness World Records holder for tallest man, at 7 feet, 9 inches. The little guy applied for the Guinness Record for the shortest man, at 2 feet, 9 inches. A pint of Guinness? (har har) I haven’t been a fan of Guinness Records since I was a kid, although, I…

God is sick of it, too

God is getting all kinds of attention this week. The Golden Compass is getting some God-related press. Mitt Romney says he’s cool with God. Why do we care? I understand the importance of religion in people’s lives. But can we stop debating our beliefs in public? Just because someone believes something different from you is…

Gunmen and the media

Another young guy went on a crazy shooting spree. Then, way too many news outlets plastered the killer’s name and face on TV. When will the morons running our media learn that immortalizing these guys’ names encourages future behavior in like-minded people? We don’t need to learn about the killer’s sad poems or video games…

The latest in "shocking" news

Fat kids could stay fat and have bad hearts when they get old. Luckily, ABC News has created a graphic for those literate enough to get to a news site, but not literate enough to read a story based on common sense. Check out this brilliant quote from a pediatrics professor: “Children who have been…

Spooning

A cold December night was good for “spooning” to make #6 on Google Trends. Notice the hotness level as “On Fire.” Is that one notch away from “XXX?” I had no idea spooning was so raunchy. “Kama Sutra” as a related search? I think spooning is in the “Child’s Guide to Kama Sutra.” “What is…

The things that please me

Want to know something sad? I’m all giggly and mindblown that I can now chat with my AIM friends and my Google friends, all within GMail. I don’t need to have two IM programs open. This made my day. The fact that something this insignificant made my day makes me sad. So many conflicting emotions…

The High Lady returns

(1:54 podcast) The High Lady called and left a voicemail. I’ve had a bad habit of not logging on to my phone system. After missing this classic High Lady call, I’ll do better on that. The number is 785.727.2291, and you can see if I’m available on the right column of the homepage. It’s been…

I’m not George Carlin yet

(3:44 podcast) I tried stand up for the first time tonight. It wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t brilliant by any means. It was a good learning experience. I’ll do it again. It’s a lot different than what I’m used to: talking into a microphone in an empty room with no encouragement/discouragement from an audience. The lights…

Presidents and vocab

President Bush is a moron. Today, he talked about the national intelligence estimate, which said Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program four years ago. “I have said Iran is dangerous, and the NIE doesn’t do anything to change my opinion about the danger Iran poses to the world. Quite the contrary.” Quite the contrary? Do…

Pedophile campout!

Channel 9 News was at the Sprint Center tonight to show off all the little shits adorable kids who went to the Hannah Montana show. Notice the boy who’ll no doubt get his ass kicked in school tomorrow, unless he’s been abducted by a pedophile.

Hillary picked last in kickball

Barack Obama said “I have not been planning to run for President for however number of years some of the other candidates have been planning for.” Hillary Clinton’s campaign, looking to call BS, tracked down a quote from his kindergarten teacher. She said Barack wrote an essay with the title “I Want To Become President.”…

How will we live?

The writers’ strike is a month old and might not end for awhile. I don’t think viewers are going to be as annoyed as you might think. We might even appreciate a break from having to watch our favorite TV shows. Maybe we’ll learn to use our non-TV time so wisely, we won’t stand for…

I’m old

I’ll be 27 a month from now. Even as immature as I am, I’m starting to feel as old as I am. Yesterday’s game of Hacky Sack nearly left me a cripple. Both of my hamstrings are sore and I pulled my right groin (currently taking applications for groin masseuse). This weekend, I’ll take part…
