Never mind the thousands of Native Americans here, centuries before. I love the idea of the plate to unify and recognize achievement but that vision of history has been repudiated and doesn’t work

Budget cuts more than enrollment. Class sizes are up and may get worse. With all the glorious tax cuts [the $42 in your pocket] remember you get what you pay for.

The joke is we aren’t joking, “Steal Everything”.

What started as a dumb little post about which song is better became an exercise in web retardedness, on he part of the normal corporate dorks. First the original fluff, then the story.
Kiss Off
Kissing girls always makes guys horny. Well, not all guys and not all girls. But this one is a kiss off between pop divas singing their hearts out about going lessie for a moment. Two different reasons, love versus manipulation. Which is the one that rocks your world?
Old School – Jill Sobule
New School – Katy Perry
No Embed is Retarded
I have heard the new one a couple of times. Figured I would pit the two of them together, have a kiss off. Went for Katy first. A simple Youtube search pulled up a couple of bad rips of the video, I went to the official Youtube spot for Ms. Perry. Nope, no embed.
I don’t get this. 895,347 views. I was hoping to add 3 more at least. But no, they turned off embed. It is hit song. You would think that they would maximize exposure, even to the goobs like me that have nothing blogs. Maybe, you know, maximize sales. Maybe 3 more from me. Nope. Even better the goobs used the same video to post on their official site, linked from the Youtube profile. Huh?
I had to hit up the Myspace, in misery, for both videos. Apparently Jill doesn’t like the Youtubes either.

OMFG. Parts of this are ripped straight from the headlines of my work day. Minus the game (well, there may be others – horde of orcs or something tamer) but anyway
-
Free stuff from the OG I Kissed A Girl girl. Mp3 as well as lossless formats. Good stuff. Free.
-
Lefty bastards. I agreed and enjoyed way too much. Plus they slurp on Olbermann too.
-
Does it really surprise anyone. Business as usual in W’s poltics

While a total withdrawal may not be possible, but it begs the question of why are we overly engaged in Iraq still, when the real criminals are still alive and getting stronger

Early bowl forecast – UCF at the Texas Bowl vs Colorado Buffaloes

Someone, please make corn gas go away.

Smart move to shore up the bastion of NBC news for the time being. The rumor mill would serve to erode the best political coverage on TV right now [yes I am a left leaning liberal commie bastard, well not commie]
-
For something like oil that is subject to way too many instabilities it makes sense to remove one that is unnecessary. Free market will still work, it will just after to its own lunacy at times
-
Exactly why we need to hold off on destroying other parts of the economy [tourism and fishing] for a 5 to 10 year potential payoff, finish what you started before you beg for more.

RIP. Life is a little less funny today. The only thing I can say is…shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits

In honor of the man, and his funny. RIP

Brief but interesting other side story about McCain’s internment and abuse in Viet Nam

Charity event at the Ornage Studio, bad ass posters for charity on sale and forum to discuss designs role in fixing the world
The Orange Studio is so hip it oozes its orange design/creative honey goodness out by the ton, attracting creative flies many times over. Exhibits and performances [past ones include: Eleethax, Love Not Hate] have started to blossom since Julio bought up the box building and splashed it with apparently everyone’s favorite bit from the Crayola box. Some events had a social tinge to the night. Now they just get up front with their designs to fix at least a piece of the world.
This new one is an Orlando.AIGA joint [the super secretive society of design professionals from the Orlando area bent on taking over the world]. Orlando.AIGA actually it is the local chapter of the largest and oldest professional organization for design professionals. Its purpose is to share in the broad discussion of design issues such as ethics, analysis and sharing ideas about how to make it better profession.
This event is a forum to see how better design professionals can wield their talents in ways to better move the world to action in some of the most troubling issues. Graphic design, which was born to convince us to buy what we may not need, is the perfect vehicle to reverse that action and convince us on what we need to act.
It is a fundraiser as well as forum, posters [silk screened limited prints] will be sold to support the charity of the designers choice. $5/10 at the door.

That is the only the GOP is going to have a chance, that is to avoid the “swift boat” thing again. Looks/sounds/smells like the past two prez runs and blows away McCain’s reform platform.

Any pollster with fashion metrics for the candidates?

I like the new look of the Slantinel.

Once a month meeting to discuss science stuff, usually lead by an expert in the field. Free, beer involved and like minded geeks. Good times. Oh by the way, at Stardust, that is a big plus
Building a better place to die
Naples used to be the place where you came to die. Made into a retirement hell heaven for the que-tip crowd, it became God’s Waiting room. It had always been a quieter version of the Florida vacation beach scene (i.e. what Daytona would have been with out the frat boys and drunken sluts), it had maintained a close to normal look and feel. It had schools, kids, places to shop that still seemed part of the real world. The abnormally slow driving speeds and amazing amount of Urology joints [apparently it is hard to pee when you get old] tended to bely its “age”
But then came The Villages. Buying up a bazillion acres of pastures, they built ticky tacky homes and a wondrous playground for the retiree crowd on top of the cow turds. I had heard rumors. STD explosion, golf cart chaos [emergency room filled with golf cart casualties] and a Pleasantville type atmosphere that becomes a drunk orgy at night. They crafted a Main Street for the Beaver and his posse while disguising the mass of Urology joints in store front facades. Golf Courses are the lifeblood of your average, white drain on social security retired person. There is at least count 342 courses. Enough golf for 2.8 million people [the projected population for the end of 2009]. The problem with that much action for old folk is that they just simply bury them where they fall so as to keep the game going.
I had to see this hot mess myself.
Despite the warnings
Can’t say we weren’t warned, and apparently @chrisscott was right. The STD’s have been blooming like wild fires. Little blue pills are passing around like meth at a redneck convention. I was expecting to see old men with tents in their plaid golfing shorts and frazzle haired women walking like they had rode a horse from Tallahassee. But apparently it is catching up to them,

Things were a bit slower. But it was as it were a Twilight zone. What did catch me off guard was the lack of minorities. Not a single off-color individual. Either the have rules against that or minorities are a bit more dignified than to move to some old persons hedonism. But I have to say, form what I saw I am going to try and sneak back in and hit the bars for a bit of alcohol induced senior moments. Who knows, might snag me a GILF.
Obviously the drinking problem is openly embraced and capitalized on. I would find it interesting see Grandma with a skull flask, but what ever floats her boat.
They replaced the Employment section a permanent Health and Medical section (primarily Urology).
I missed the picture of the $18,000 Escalade cart. They were off the hook. Every one announced who the occupants were despite not having an enclosure or tinted windows that would normally make it hard to see who’s in the damn thing.. Maybe it is for the easy identification of the offender as it will be the last thing you see as you are run over by a drunk Cart Driver.
Village fashion is hot. I boned Christina old man style later that night as she pranced around dressed only in her leather fanny pack. HOT!
Urban Flats lost a bit of the cool factor.
More randomness:

Interesting scenario about an economic shakeup for NCAA football. Ignore where the schools are listed (it is an example and the from the comments the suck bag retards that comment couldn’t).
-
I didn’t know the difference and now I share it with you
-
From the man that revolutionized baseball and sports statistics, Nate Silver, he takes the same comprehensive approach to the politics games. Must read for up to date and incredibly accurate predictions
