I haven’t written much lately and well… Yeah I think I already started two rants like this so lets move on.
I got a new computer in case you care. You don’t but we will talk about it anyway. It’s a laptop and for some reason if I don’t have the thing plugged in the screen is at least 35% darker than it is if it is plugged in. I don’t think I care but it’s odd. But on the new computer thing I got a laptop but I didn’t get rid of my old desktop since it still works and no matter how many times my friends say I should get rid of it I just can’t. It’s awesome. well it’s not that great but it’s old and getting slow but I blame that on it not being made for Japanese power outlets since they run off less juice and the fact that it’s held together with duct tape and clay. That and I built it out of mostly spare parts. And clay…
I’m still living in japan and we still don’t have mutants or a million dead from radiation so I still think I’m right about the media not knowing what the fuck they are talking about.
So a lot of rioting in the UK is going on. Or was. I did find quite a few things funny about it since people were saying it was working class kids angry at the system for getting them or some bullshit but as Mark Steyn mentioned can you really call them working class if none of them have ever worked or their parents? To paraphrase anyway. The other thing was these were not all poor kids living off the dole, there were a lot of people from monied families taking part in it. I know i talk shit about the UK all the time but seriously what is wrong with the place? England has the most expansive welfare state in Europe (according to Europeans) and still these kids are angry? What more do you fuckers want since it’s not jobs according to many of the british commentators it’s very hard to fill a job with English kids since they don’t even bother to apply for jobs and most places would rather higher eastern Europeans since they will actually show up and work. Do yourself a favor England give people back their guns, let them protect themselves, and force these kids off the dole and to get jobs and actually work. And for the brats with money that pull the same shit fuck them up and teach them a lesson about being civilized human beings. And stop being a bunch of wankers. I don’t hate the UK or England you gave the world so much, like good beer, The Damned and the Gin n’ Tonic but you really got to pull your shit together.
Speaking of England apparently there is a group in England that want’s to create Islamic hamlets in certain parts of England that would essentially be independent states run off of Sharia law. Really guys you don’t want to stop this? You have Imams there living off of the dole (you know where you pay them not to work) and they are saying the want to secede from England and have their own state on your territory and you don’t do anything about this? Cancel their government paychecks at least guys, your basically paying people to sit around and scream about revolting and you do nothing?
So in the news today I read a story about how climate change was causing higher rates of mental illness. All I could think while reading it was maybe mental illness was causing higher rates of people yelling about climate change. Seriously it used to be global cooling and that didn’t pan out so it was global warming. Now it’s climate change so we can all claim anything and everything is… Fuck you hippies.
Why does canned asparagus taste like crap but frozen if good while canned green beans taste good but frozen taste like crap? Why does Smithwick’s beer always taste like rust out of a bottle but good out of a keg? Why do poor people in America have cell phones, the internet, cars, and flat screen TV’s while poor people in other places have dysentery and mud houses. These are the things we need to know.
If you don’t understand why you should hate Rachel Carson watch someone die of malaria. I have.
In music news Gibson Guitars got raided by the Feds for using wood illegally purchased from India based off of an Indian export law on wood. Now mind you many other US guitar companies use the same wood but Gibson gets raided but not them. Martin uses the same wood but gives money to Democrats and Obama, Gibson gives money to Republicans and doesn’t use union labor. Now this is the second time Obama’s DOJ has raided Gibson and the first time they never filed charges (because there was no crime) but after two years haven’t returned the confiscated wood and now they do it again. Look the Indian government certified the wood for export, US customs certified the word for entry into the US and now the DOJ is raiding Gibson? For what? Breaking and Indian law the Indian government said wasn’t broken? Now I don’t know if this was politically motivated but even if it isn’t what the fuck is going on in DC?
Arabic Numerals are from India. The reason the are called that is because it was introduced to Europe from the Middle East.
I like Jelly beans but the people who make them need to do better. You get a bag with 100 different flavors and while many are good you have a bunch that suck. I hate coconut and vanilla so stop putting them in there and I have no idea why anyone thought the popcorn ones tasted like anything but shit. Can’t I just get a bag of the awesome ones like peach and root beer? It’s like Jolly Ranchers you buy a bag and you only eat half since you hate the other half. And who the hell likes banana flavored anything? I like – or at least don’t mind – a banana but for some reason anything that is banana flavored tastes like what happens after you ferment a banana in a hookers asshole filled with toxic waste and used embalming fluid. Well at least it isn’t coconut.
Back onto my new computer. It’s great I mostly use it for looking up shit when playing video games so depending on your view it may not have been worth it. But fuck you I contributed to the economy something way to many people don’t even pretend to do. Still you don’t care and probably shouldn’t…
I realized the other day I only use my vacation days when I want to go to a concert in the middle of the week and don’t want to go into work the next day. Considering I have a ton of the things saved up I really need to take a real vacation. The problem with vacations (or even weekends) is that I am never more angry at work than after a day off. I really need a new job but they pay me to live in Japan (although that’s probably not why I get the paycheck) so I can’t complain that much. No, no I can, fuck these guys.
Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy pleasure and that’s good enough.
So apparently in several cities they have been having racial charged flash mobs. Now the police and politicians aren’t calling it that and a lot of places are kind of pretending the racial aspect of it doesn’t exist but it does. This is wrong tell the truth about things no matter how ugly.
Just so you know in the event of a race riot I will shoot anyone involved no matter what their skin color is so leave me out of your idiocy and in the event of a race war I completely condone the use of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons against all parties involved. Seriously I’m not going to fuck around with you morons.
Yep it’s that time again, the time to make fun of some of the recent news stories. I know you are all as excited as TSA agent when they see a small child so let’s get started.
I don’t need more of a reason to hate teachers unions than I already do (I went to public school). But seriously this is what they are worried about? A fucking cop killer? The man was a racist and killed a cop over a traffic ticket and admitted to doing so. Well until he realized he had a thousand useful idiots out there that would back him and did want to ride the lightning changed his tune. I really don’t know how this guy hasn’t been executed yet other than bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit. Anyway, of all the things the teachers union could be worried about they are worried about this? 50% of our children can’t read or compute at their grade level and we are yelling about a convicted cop killer? For those of you who don’t remember how grades worked in school getting 50% on a test meant you failed. No matter how stupid, ignorant or crazy the demands of the teachers unions are any time you disagree with them their only answer is to scream about how much you must hate children and then they waste their time on this crap? How about this; if you want better pay and benefits show us the children are learning more and doing better in school and actually earn the higher paychecks. Right now all you are doing is crying like babies and running off on idiotic crusades to help cop killers. Also California is broke, the country is broke how much money do you think there really is to spend? I don’t hate teachers, although there are quite a few I did hate and I can honestly say most of the teachers I have had in my life dealing with the public schools were not very good with many being downright terrible, but I don’t hate them all. I can say I had 4 good teachers sadly it doesn’t sound as good when you remember I had 4 good ones during 12 years of schooling and each year of schooling I had at least 6 teachers. So for all the BS yelling about people hating children I look at it like this, if you support the teachers unions you are the ones who really hate children.
“Meet Nagla Al-Imam, an Egyptian lawyer who suggests a novel form of “resistance” for Palestinian “fighters” contra Israel: Sexually harass Israeli women.
Al-Iman assures us that this won’t lead to rape, because resistance fighters’ “morals” are much “loftier” than that. But even if it does, she says, Israeli women would have no “right” to be upset, for this would merely square them with the Palestinians whose land they rape. And “few things,” Al-Iman tells us “are as grave as the rape of land.”
You have to see it to believe it, folks.”
Yeah this would never lead to rape especially since the only countries I know about that punish rape victims for being raped are run by Moslems since Moslems never rape anyone ever.
Or murder kids…
I love the part where she is asked by the reporter if this is will get people to break sexual harassment laws and she just basically say we don’t have any so who cares. She doesn’t even act like it’s a bad thing they don’t have any. This lady literally says that while she knows these “freedom fighter” have such high morals that they would never rape a woman (because the Islamists in Iran never raped women in prison so they wouldn’t have to execute a virgin for example), but if they did who cares and the woman because she is Israeli has no right to be upset. Yeah the woman deserved it for being Israeli. I really, really hate the Middle East.
“Disgraced politician John Edwards is said to be deeply depressed – to the point of being suicidal – over the prospect of a criminal trial that could end with him being jailed if found guilty.
The 57-year-old former Presidential candidate reportedly told a close friend: ‘I won’t go to jail. I’d kill myself first!’
Yeah, sounds like a great idea asshole. You are such a piece of shit you cheated on your wife while she was dying of cancer and then you pull a bunch of illegal bullshit moves to try to hide it and what upsets you is the thought of going to jail and actually paying the consequences? You still have children, your children just lost their mother and you and going to kill yourself and make them orphans instead of spending a year or two in jail? I knew the guy was a piece of shit years ago but I didn’t know he was this bad (I’m not surprised though, I really wish I was, but I’m not). OK this might all be bullshit I don’t know if it is true but if it is fucking hell. The sad thing is the end of the article makes it sound like the person who wrote this is trying to make us feel bad for the guy. No, no I do not, in fact I feel even less bad than I already did for him. It doesn’t make me happy it just kinda makes me hate him, and I really don’t want to care about the fucker enough to hate him.
“UNITED NATIONS — Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving “Mother Earth” the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country.
The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to “dominate and exploit” — to the point that the “well-being and existence of many beings” is now threatened.”
This reminds me of the term “Watermelon”. It’s someone who is green on the outside and red on the inside. Meaning it’s a communist using environmental issues to push communism. Especially since Bolivia’s laws specifically said they need to “end capitalism”. The funy thing about this is that we are talking about the U.N. Most of the member states of the U.N. are dictatorships with no freedom or human rights so are they going to give the earth the same rights they give their own people? I can’t wait till someone tries to say we are raping Mother Earth and Iran puts on trial for adultery and tries to stone her to death or China tries to throw Mother earth in Jail and execute her for saying something they don’t like and selling her organs on the black market. Maybe Saudi Arabia will try to execute Mother Earth for apostasy or Cuba might try to jail her for reactionary thought. The Sudan will try to sell her into slavery and England will bring her up on hate crimes charges for that natural disaster that hiss anyone who isn’t white. And we can all have a good time yelling at Mother Earth because she doesn’t distribute her natural resources evenly and bring her up on trial for that. It’s as if the U.N. is the longest running Monty Python sketch only it’s dead serious and there is always a chance it will get you killed, raped or starved to death.
Another question I has is if a natural disaster happens in a poor country do we charge Mother Nature with a hate crime or class warfare?
“HONOLULU — The Honolulu Police Department confirmed that a close friend of President Barack Obama was arrested Monday in connection with a prostitution sting case.
Police arrested Bobby Titcomb, 49, a Punahou School classmate of Obama, at 9:40 p.m. in downtown Honolulu at the corner of Pohukaina and South streets. He was released after posting $500 bail, police said.
Police arrested four men in connection with a reverse prostitution sting involving a fake online female escort website, sources said.
The offense is considered a misdemeanor. Titcomb’s initial court appearance is scheduled May 2.
Titcomb usually spends the holidays with the president and his family when they spend time in Hawaii. He has been seen playing golf and attending picnics with the president.
The first family attended a barbecue at Ticomb’s Waialua home in December.”
There was the Racist, the Terrorist, the Communist what else does he need to collect them all?
“Chicago school bans some lunches brought from home
To encourage healthful eating, Chicago school doesn’t allow kids to bring lunches or certain snacks from home — and some parents, and many students, aren’t fans of the policy”
I don’t think it’s the responsibility of the schools to provide lunch for children it’s the parent’s job. This is where we all pause for a moment so you can yell about how much I hate children. OK now that we have that bullshit out of the way we can move on. I remember the lunches when I was in school and healthy wasn’t the first word I would use to describe them but I’m sure Chicago runs their school lunch programs better than they ran Cabrini-Green. I really don’t know if this is to take more control away from parents or just to line the pockets of the contractors that provide the school lunches (for a nice little donation during election time of course), but it doesn’t matter it’s wrong either way. Yeah some parents won’t take care of their children but unless the state is going to put them in a group home there isn’t much you can do about that. The thing is this is taking away the right of the parents that do take care of their children. I remember the packed lunches I got when my parents still made them for me. It was a sandwich (meat, cheese, lettuce, pickle and tomato) a small bag of chips/popcorn (oh noes!!!) and a piece of fruit (usually a banana, apple or orange). Sounds like I got all the food groups covered there. Then I switched to the school lunch program (because I was old enough to make my own lunch but was lazy so my parents just paid for the school lunch) and I ate pizza or nachos every day (because it was the only things they served that could be considered edible. Hell the school lunches we so small I would get two of them every day. Granted I never eat breakfast unless I work out in the morning so I always eat a large lunch but that doesn’t matter. I’m not fat, I never was fat. I wasn’t some health nut in school and only started to work out semi-regularly recently so that wasn’t why I wasn’t a fat ass as a kid. It was because my parents threw me outside and told me to play, so I did and as I got older I did other things like play drums (if you practice for a while it’s a good workout). If you are really worried about the kids make gym class more demanding that was the whole point if it to make kids get some exercise anyway so use it. Forcing kids to eat the terrible school lunches is putting a Band-Aid on a severed limb. You can tell yourself you are helping but you aren’t even pretending to get to the root of the problem. Hell the whole point of school lunches in the first place was to make sure the kids whose parents weren’t taking care of them wouldn’t go hungry at lunch time because their parents were too poor or lazy to make the kid lunch and now we are using more and more tax dollars to feed kids whose parents have the money to feed their kids. My tax dollars are going to feed the children of people that make more money than I do. One of the kids I went to school with father was and still is a US Congressman. Are you saying that kid needed the school to make him lunch or he would starve? He did however leave the school after 2 years to transfer to a private school because our school sucked bad and he had pissed off one of the local gang members that went there.
More from the article:
Fernando Dominguez cut the figure of a young revolutionary leader during a recent lunch period at his elementary school.
“Who thinks the lunch is not good enough?” the seventh-grader shouted to his lunch mates in Spanish and English.
Dozens of hands flew in the air and fellow students shouted along: “We should bring our own lunch! We should bring our own lunch! We should bring our own lunch!”
Fernando waved his hand over the crowd and asked a visiting reporter: “Do you see the situation?”
I like this kid.
“At his public school, Little Village Academy on Chicago’s West Side, students are not allowed to pack lunches from home. Unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria.
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.”
Yes we must protect you from yourself, or your parents…
“Any school that bans homemade lunches also puts more money in the pockets of the district’s food provider, Chartwells-Thompson. The federal government pays the district for each free or reduced-price lunch taken, and the caterer receives a set fee from the district per lunch.”
And part of that money helps line people’s reelection campaigns.
“At Little Village, most students must take the meals served in the cafeteria or go hungry or both. During a recent visit to the school, dozens of students took the lunch but threw most of it in the garbage uneaten. Though CPS has improved the nutritional quality of its meals this year, it also has seen a drop-off in meal participation among students, many of whom say the food tastes bad.”
I know it’s a running joke that healthy food tastes bad but it’s not true. Everyone loves beef stew and it’s not that hard to use low-fat beef and put a lot of vegetables in there, make it nice and healthy and serve it over rice or pasta. Everyone loves stir-fry and it’s not that hard to make without using that much oil and it’s filled with healthy things. You want a healthy burrito? Throw in some black beans, lettuce, cheese, olives, onions, tomatoes and some rice and not only to you have a very good burrito but it tastes good and the kids would love it. But you won’t do that because you think burritos aren’t healthy. People act like the only thing you can eat is rice cakes and tofu burgers to eat healthy (at least 8% of rice cakes don’t taste like Styrofoam and ass, tofu on the other hand always tastes like shit). It’s bullshit. Hell you learn about the food pyramid in school and they can’t figure out how to use it to make healthy food that tastes good?
“For many CPS parents, the idea of forbidding home-packed lunches would be unthinkable. If their children do not qualify for free or reduced-price meals, such a policy would require them to pay $2.25 a day for food they don’t necessarily like.”
“We don’t spend anywhere close to that on my son’s daily intake of a sandwich (lovingly cut into the shape of a Star Wars ship), Goldfish crackers and milk,” education policy professor Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach wrote in an email. Her son attends Nettelhorst Elementary School in Lakeview. “Not only would mandatory school lunches worsen the dietary quality of most kids’ lunches at Nettelhorst, but it would also cost more out of pocket to most parents! There is no chance the parents would stand for that.”
Not only is this parent making her family is fed but she is taking the time to make it fun. Think about how much better a child is going to do in school when they know that they have that lunch made with love for them every day. It sounds a lot better than some grumpy lunch lady (it’s a stereotype I know but when I was in school it was 100% correct) dumping slop onto a tray.
I love the end of the article though.
“Many Little Village students claim that, given the opportunity, they would make sound choices.
“They’re afraid that we’ll all bring in greasy food instead of healthy food and it won’t be as good as what they give us at school,” said student Yesenia Gutierrez. “It’s really lame. If we could bring in our own lunches, everyone knows what they’d bring. For example, the vegetarians could bring in their own veggie food.”
“I would bring a sandwich or a Subway and maybe a juice,” said seventh-grader Ashley Valdez.
Second-grader Gerardo Ramos said, “I would bring a banana, orange and some grapes.”
“I would bring a juice and like a sandwich,” said fourth-grader Eric Sanchez.
“Sometimes I would bring the healthy stuff,” second-grader Julian Ruiz said, “but sometimes I would bring Lunchables.”
Is it always going to be that healthy? No. Who cares there is nothing wrong with a pizza, some fried chicken or a burger. You just eat more than just that. Sometimes you want a salad and sometimes you want hot-wings and there is nutritional value in both and there are things you get in one you can’t get in the other. That’s why we have the food pyramid because you need it all, you just need it in the proper amounts. Yesterday I have fried chicken, mash potatoes and green beans with bacon for lunch. For dinner I had a very large salad. I got everything I needed (other than the grains since I don’t think the breading is enough to qualify for the whole serving) but I live. The other day I had a half a bag of potato chips and a giant bowl of broccoli for dinner. Yeah my eating habits are weird but I get what I need. See parents know what their children will eat. They know the kid won’t eat brussel sprouts but they will eat green beans, carrots or corn. I didn’t eat brussel sprouts or asparagus when I was a kid (I do now) but I loved broccoli and mixed vegetables as long as there wasn’t any types of squash or mushrooms in it (still won’t eat either). And every kid will eat a fruit cup just as fast as they would eat Jell-o or pudding. Parents know this and they know what their kid will eat and how to get them to eat healthy food yet for some reason the people running the school (many who have children) can’t figure this shit out.
I hate to admit when a dirty hippy is at least a little right but in this case I will. Go to this link and it gives a nice suggestion on making a kid a healthy lunch they will eat (you don’t need to use the organic/free-range/overpriced whatever they want you to though. It’s about the bento boxes (they are not usually as fancy as the ones on the last link though) they have in Japan and a little bit on how to make them on your own. The idea of a bento is that it’s a box with several compartments that you put different foods in and it is a common lunch thing in Japan. I eat them quite often for lunch. It’s usually a main dish, some rice, a vegetable, some pickles and some fruit but there are a lot of different varieties, I like the tonkatsu (it’s fried and breaded pork cutlet with this awesome sauce called tonkatsu sauce – the best being the Bulldog brand) or meat loaf ones. There are ones made to be hot and ones made to be cold. Either way, they are good and you can make them with different leftovers to save money.
After I wrote all this I say something that said the Principle in question backtracked and said she was taken out of context or that she didn’t mean to say what it sounded like she said. It sounds more like when a bunch of people got angry she tried to back herself out of it.
“When Wendy’s (NYSE: WEN – News) created its Natural Cut Fries With Sea Salt, which it introduced last fall and is now promoting in new TV ads this week, the company’s product development team found a way to leave the potato skins on, make the fries crispier and give them a much tastier flavor. What they didn’t manage to do, however, is make the fries an actual all-natural product. That, says CMO Ken Calwell, would be too difficult given fast food customers’ demands for items that are cheap and can be hoisted through a car window.”
Last time I checked Fark.com has a whole section on advertisements masquerading as news. This is one of those things. The thing about it is why the lady that wrote the article keeps mentioning Five Guys as if they are either the greatest thing on the planet or the standard to what all food should be held too. That or she got paid a bunch of money by Five Guys to act like that. Now for the record I have never eaten at Five Guys and honestly I’m apathetic towards them. Wendy’s on the other hand I have eaten and do like their food. I even worked at a Wendy’s years ago (yes I worked at one and will still eat their food). To me they are one of the better fast food joints but their fries always were a problem. The problem with their fries was that half the time they were a little undercooked for my tastes. Now when they were cooked long enough that they were all crunchy they were some of the best fast food fries you could get but a lot of time you had the undercooked kinda soggy ones and they just kind of sucked that way (as do all fries). But oh how I love a triple and a large chili. I haven’t been able to try the new fries because they don’t have Wendy’s in Japan anymore so I can’t say if the new ones are better or not. My problem with this article is that the reporter sounded like she wrote this article more to plug Five Guys rather than talk about the new Wendy’s fries. I really want to say that Wendy’s having new fries isn’t news but at least this is in the financial part of Yahoo News so we can at least say it has some merit to people that are either investing in Wendy’s or thinking about it, but when it all comes down to it aren’t we all going to get the same information from the next commercial break?
“Michigan: Police Search Cell Phones During Traffic Stops ACLU seeks information on Michigan program that allows cops to download information from smart phones belonging to stopped motorists.
The Michigan State Police have a high-tech mobile forensics device that can be used to extract information from cell phones belonging to motorists stopped for minor traffic violations. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan last Wednesday demanded that state officials stop stonewalling freedom of information requests for information on the program.
ACLU learned that the police had acquired the cell phone scanning devices and in August 2008 filed an official request for records on the program, including logs of how the devices were used. The state police responded by saying they would provide the information only in return for a payment of $544,680. The ACLU found the charge outrageous.
“Law enforcement officers are known, on occasion, to encourage citizens to cooperate if they have nothing to hide,” ACLU staff attorney Mark P. Fancher wrote. “No less should be expected of law enforcement, and the Michigan State Police should be willing to assuage concerns that these powerful extraction devices are being used illegally by honoring our requests for cooperation and disclosure.”
A US Department of Justice test of the CelleBrite UFED used by Michigan police found the device could grab all of the photos and video off of an iPhone within one-and-a-half minutes. The device works with 3000 different phone models and can even defeat password protections.
“Complete extraction of existing, hidden, and deleted phone data, including call history, text messages, contacts, images, and geotags,” a CelleBrite brochure explains regarding the device’s capabilities. “The Physical Analyzer allows visualization of both existing and deleted locations on Google Earth. In addition, location information from GPS devices and image geotags can be mapped on Google Maps.”
The ACLU is concerned that these powerful capabilities are being quietly used to bypass Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches.”
And every time I yell about the encroaching Orwellian state we are all trying to get to people call me paranoid. I can’t wait till politicians and other state officials try to track down people that have their daughter’s phone numbers. I can just see how that would go.
Police Officer: So tell me Mr. Smythe why do you have a Kathy Johnson’s phone number in your phone?
Kyle Smythe: Um, what is this about officer?
PO: Just answer the question kid before you end up like you little friend Jimmy there!
KM: Please officer, I didn’t do anything we have a group project due next week and needed to exchange numbers with the groups!
(Officer slaps child)
PO: Don’t lie to me boy do you know who Miss Johnson is!? Do you!?
(Child is crying)
KM: Please officer, stop hitting me… We have social studies 5th period and Mrs. Nguyen has us doing a group project on Mesopotamia…
PO: Well Senator Johnson seems to think otherwise?
KM: What?
PO: So am I to assume that you are just doing a “group project” with Miss. Johnson even though your parents voting record shows they voted for Senator Johnsons rival in the last election?
KM: Sir, I’m 14, I don’t pay attention to that stuff.
(Officer slaps child)
PO: Shut up and tell me why your parents donated 50 bucks to Senator Johnson’s rival in the last election and don’t lie to me boy!
KM: Because apparently you and Senator Johnson are a bunch of fascist assholes and if I knew about this then I’d have told them to donate a lot more and spent less time playing X-Box and more time with the crazy militia guys that hang out in Baker’s Woods.
(Child passes out from blow to the head and scene fades to a picture of Kyle being led into a camp called Sunshine Farms Youth Reeducation Center).
“New census data confirm that some major metropolitan areas flipped from majority white to majority populations of minorities during the past decade.
White people are now in the minority in 46 of the nation’s 366 metro areas, including New York, Washington, San Diego, Las Vegas and Memphis, said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.”
One thing I think is silly about this whole thing is they lump everyone that isn’t white into the same category of “Minority”, hell they even lump people that are white into the non-white (or minority) category like many Hispanics who are or 100% European decent but are somehow different than someone from Italy or Greece considering they are all of Mediterranean decent but the last two are jumped into the white (non-minority) category and the first into the minority category. Anything to divide us I guess.
Honestly I could care less as long as they don’t vote for Progressives.
“Hong Kong, China (CNN) – China has been cracking down on dissent of late, as the recent detainment of artist Ai Weiwei suggests.
But the latest guidance on television programming from the State Administration of Radio Film and Television in China borders on the surreal – or, rather, an attack against the surreal.
New guidelines issued on March 31 discourage plot lines that contain elements of “fantasy, time-travel, random compilations of mythical stories, bizarre plots, absurd techniques, even propagating feudal superstitions, fatalism and reincarnation, ambiguous moral lessons, and a lack of positive thinking.”
“The government says … TV dramas shouldn’t have characters that travel back in time and rewrite history. They say this goes against Chinese heritage,” reports CNN’s Eunice Yoon. “They also say that myth, superstitions and reincarnation are all questionable.”
The Chinese censors seem to be especially sensitive these days. But for the television and film industry, such strictures would seem to eliminate any Chinese version of “Star Trek,” “The X-Files,” “Quantum Leap” or “Dr. Who.” And does that mean rebroadcast of huge Hollywood moneymakers like “Back to the Future” and the “Terminator” series are now forbidden?”
All I can think is that the Chinese government thought that if people think to hard about time travel they might get crazy ideas like what would happen if we all went back in time and stopped the communists from taking over and murdering tens of millions of us and oppressing the ones that managed to live. Also since the last thing a communist is, is sane, they might be worried that some poor dissident might get so engrossed in the concept of time travel he ends up finding a way to do it and does the world a favor by beating to death Mao Zedong to death on his 18th birthday and does the entire world and the Chinese people a huge favor. He’d be the best superhero ever. Think about it he could call himself The Vigilante of Time and it could be a TV show. It would be if Quantum Leap was about a Chinese guy jumping through time putting a bullet in the head of every shithead who ever needed it before they got a chance to be the bastard they would grow up to be. I’d watch that show. Hell I have no idea why that show hasn’t already been made. If this show is ever made I don’t want any money for the idea just give me a mention in the credits and make sure you have episodes where they take out Che Guevara, Karl Marx and Hitler. Also one where they stop they guy who invented Auto-Tune (he doesn’t have to die just stop the invention).
Durham, N.C. — Family members of a man who was stabbed in his home April 3 say he died Wednesday evening. Crystal Mangum, the Durham woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape in 2006, has been charged with assaulting him.
“Durham police confirmed Thursday morning that Reginald Daye, 46, had died.
“The case remains under investigation, and we do anticipate upgrading the charges. However, no new charges have been filed at this time,” police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said in an e-mail to WRAL News.
Police said Mangum, 32, stabbed Daye in the torso with a kitchen knife during a dispute at 3507 Century Oaks Drive early on April 3…
In February 2010, police arrested Mangum after an altercation between her and a different boyfriend. In that incident, she was accused of assaulting the man in front of her children and setting some of his clothes on fire.
She was later convicted of child abuse, injury to personal property and resisting a public officer in the case, but prosecutors dismissed an arson charge after a jury couldn’t reach a verdict.”
You know if they had just locked her up for the first round of bullshit this might not have happened. Granted I don’t know how long a jail sentence you get for false accusations are (and even though I’m on the internets right now I’m not looking it up) but it might have at least stopped for a bit the progression of her offenses. I wonder if Mike Nifong is punching himself in the face right now. If he isn’t he should be.
I would like to say something about video games and the people who make them. If you are making a video game and you have a boss fight followed directly by another boss fight with no time in between the two you are a cheap asshole. People work your way up to the fight give it your all and instead of having the downtime to replace your items, health, ect you go directly into another large fight that you had no idea you would unless you used a cheat guide. I shouldn’t have to use a cheat guide or a walkthrough in order to play a fucking video game. Not only that but if you die fighting the second boss guess what you have to fight them both over even if you kicked the first one’s ass. Fuck you guys, seriously fuck you.
Cheap ass motherfuckers…
OK I have used walkthroughs for games before but that is when I was really stuck on something and wanted a little extra help. I’m not saying it’s wrong to use them but it is very annoying to make a game you need the thing to play.
I like Tetris…
I don’t know if my heart isn’t in it any more or I found shit to do but I really don’t post on here much anymore do I? Maybe it is the fact there are only so many Obama Teleprompter jokes you can make before you just don’t care anymore. You all liked me more when I didn’t have a life didn’t you? Either that or you are happy I have mostly shut up. The sad thing is that this post took over a month to write. It’s not that it took me a month to type this it’s that I would write a little, stop, write some more, stop still not post it because it wasn’t long enough or whatever and stop. It’s not that bad considering I wrote about 10,000 words for another post in 2008 and keep forgetting to finish it. Maybe I should go…
Oooo, nachos..
I bought a duck the other day (frozen, not as a pet). I hadn’t roasted one in a while so I thought it sounded like a good thing to spend a Saturday doing (apart from playing video games and drinking beer, oh lord do I need to get a girlfriend). On the package was anthropomorphic family of ducks that looked all happy holding hands. I know that someone thought this was cute and a good way to catch people’s attention so they would think “Oh, look a happy family and since I want my family to be happy I will get this frozen duck for them and my family will all be happy together”. All I could think was “I’m about to eat one or your children. I’m not sure why you are smiling I can only assume it’s that you don’t understand someone killed your son and I’m going to shove garlic, onion and some of my famous spiced butter where his heart used to be roast the fuck out of him and eat him”. It’s not like milk. You have a smiling cow in sunglasses that says “Look at me I’m an awesome cow, and I make awesome milk, here have some and we can party on the milk train”. This is more like “I can’t feed my family so I will sell you one of my children to make it through the winter. Please smile mister so the rest of the kids don’t think something is wrong” kind of thing. Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to become a vegan. I’m not a big enough of a stupid pretentious asshat for that shit (if you know anything about evolution it was eating meat that helped our brain develop enough to get us out of the flinging our shit at everyone and drinking our own piss stage of development), I just find the whole happy duck family thing on my food funny since I’m about to eat the fuck out of you and I’m not sure why you are smiling. Maybe it’s just that this is Japan and if it doesn’t have a cartoon on it and it isn’t beer or condoms you don’t buy it. Is it an Emo duck? “Woohoo I’m about to die, thank you Mr. I just couldn’t go through with it on my own you helped so much!!!” Well I know it’s not a Goth duck, they would have been wearing black and have at least fought back unless I told them I was a vampire first…
For people that want to know my famous* spiced butter is really just a strange concoction I use for baking poultry that involves butter, an assortment of random spices (aka at least a pinch of everything on the spice rack but mostly basil and pepper), worcestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic, beer and sometimes a bit of water. I also might add hoisin or duck sauce (if it is duck, but not if it is chicken or turkey). It’s better with the duck sauce (if you use that you use more duck sauce and less butter) but it’s good either way. You heat this concoction enough to melt the butter and then slather it on everything and inside everything (aka the poultry). It does not even in the least look or sound like it is edible but oh lord is it good.
I actually cook almost everything with booze. I use sake instead of the rice wine they make for cooking (I never use cooking wine, too much salt and while I don’t have a problem with salt I’m going to get that someplace else). A good pasta sauce is always made with a good red wine (usually Chianti or Merlot). Chili, burritos, shepherd’s pie, beef stew, hamburgers, beer. My food might drink more than I do.
Well we are on cooking so let’s go with it. I learned how to cook when I was very young to the point that by the time I was 8 I would make entire meals for the family. I have always been pretty good at it and enjoy it. I don’t think I could every do it as a job though. There are a lot of reasons for that. When I was younger I made it a point to make the presentation a part of the meal (as you would expect from a chef) but as I got older I cared a lot less about presentation and a lot more for how it tastes. I can still try to make it look nice but I live alone and unless I have a girlfriend over (and since I don’t have one at the moment) I really don’t care how it looks. This has led me to invent some very, very tasty dishes that look absolutely horrendous. One dish is fried potatoes, onions and pork chops cooked in balsamic vinegar and mint (with some other spices in various amounts). Everything comes out black, it’s good, excellent even but it’s a bit disconcerting. Another is a recipe for lamb that turns the lamb green because I basically cook it in a concoction that the best way to describe is a mix between mint tea and mint pesto. A marinade for steak I have turns the entire steak a grayish brown (not matter how rare it is). You take 2 Guinness, a little garlic, some pepper, a little basil (I put basil in almost everything), a lot of scallions and about a 4th of a cup of sugar (the scallions and sugar are important otherwise it will be bitter) and you marinate the steak in it at least overnight (sometimes 2), pull it out throw it on a grill cooking it to your taste (I like rare or sometimes medium rare), and you eat. It is good but the color of the meat always looks a little off. Now people might be thinking “yeah so you like it but you are cooking it for your own tastes, does anyone else like any of this?” Yes, yes they do. Even my friend who is a professional chef likes it (although being the asshole he is he will always makes comments about what he would of done, but it is more of a trade thing rather than a complaint about the taste).
Another thing about my cooking is I don’t think any of it is very low in calories. Thank Vishnu I have a high metabolism or I would be 400 pounds. To give you an example I have a recipe for hot wings where the sauce is mostly butter and Louisiana Hot Sauce.
Maybe I just like my food weird. The trick to good BBQ pork ribs is to rub the meat with a little garam masala (or at least a little cinnamon) mixed with a few other more normal things like pepper, onion and garlic salt and a bit of chili powder before you throw it on the grill. That and while you put the BBQ sauce on in the end you want to char the outside a little. It sounds wrong but trust me. A little bit of a crunch on the outside and a lot of juicy rib on the inside and you are golden. Sometimes I think I get invited to cookouts just because they want me to cook.
Still half of my food looks inedible and my recipes don’t really have any standardized measurements. It’s more of keep adding things until it tastes right.
I really hate it at work when people expect me to deal with their constant fuck ups. Lucky for me people have started to realize I am going to hold them to at least the minimum standard they are supposed to be at so they don’t ask me to hook them up or fix their shit anymore. The problem is that rather than get their shit together they find someone else to try to get me to hook them up for them. Now I have to explain to the other department managers that “no we do not hook them up, they are incompetent buffoons stop listening to them or being nice to their stupid asses or they will never learn”. Fuck at least if you tried to talk to my boss and get him to force me to do it, it would be less annoying. I know why you don’t do this. Because there is a 505 chance my boss will either give you the same answer I did or tell you to fuck off. Then there is a 49.9% chance my boss would ask me to do it if I can but not try to demand it and let me tell him I won’t do it (unless I feel nice that day and try to help him out of the bullshit because I have time [5% chance]) , and a .01% chance they will force me to do it no matter what I say (these numbers and percentages hold up even with the one boss that hates my guts).
Speaking of work if I tell you something is not possible. Such as something needs to get done in the next ten minutes (because you waited till the last minute to turn something in) and the systems required to do it are down (server screw-up, secluded maintenance, act of Vishnu, ect), why do you feel the need to get angry at me for it? Do you think yelling at me and irritating the ever living fuck out of me is going to make things faster, make the systems (I don’t run only use) get up do a little happy dance and start working? Do you think I’m going to push everyone else’s shit aside to fix your fuck up, especially considering you want to be rude about it? I’m not going to sit here and say I’ve never hooked someone up or helped them out. But those people came to me apologized for the late requests and were humble and nice about it and were understanding about technical difficulties when there were. They offer to get me lunch, a sixer, something (I never accept this offer but it’s nice to know it’s there). You on the other hand want to be a dick and act like it is my fault. Fuck you.
Fuck work. I spend all day there I don’t need to bitch about it on here. Well that much anyway…
The world needs more bike lanes. Every street should have them. Now this isn’t some hippie “save the world, we need more people riding bikes” type crap. No, it’s because they piss me off. They need to keep bikes off the road and out of traffic and away from my car. They also need to keep the things off of sidewalks, people are walking there and since we can’t ban their use altogether to keep the fucking things away from normal people I think we should only allow their use is specially designated areas (preferably in the ocean or an active volcano). Since you don’t walk in the street and you don’t drive on the sidewalk well you should either have to use a bike lane or go fuck yourself.
Nothing good can ever come from large amounts of alcohol and your ex.
Of all the stupid things that get made into TV shows or movies why has the webcomic Something Positive never been done? Oh, right people don’t actually like sarcasm as much as I do…
Fuckers…
And now a funny video.
“Couldn’t we give them nothing instead and have them hate us for free?” Oh if only…
Why does most spam go to the “about” section of this blog? Really they have some of the best comments that make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Such as:
“I have to voice my affection for your kind-heartedness for men and women who require assistance with this one situation. Your special dedication to getting the solution up and down had become exceptionally beneficial and has in every case made regular people much like me to achieve their aims. Your amazing helpful guidelines entails this much to me and even more to my office workers. Thanks a lot; from everyone of us.”
Does that make any sense?
I just watched Inception. A lot of people have questions about it but the only real question I have is did Mr. Saito get out? Also am I the only person that gives a shit? I might need a life…
Best Super Bowl Commercial:
Speaking of Doritos there was an ad that has the Salsa Verde Doritos. Are they back? If they are that is fucking awesome I loved those but then I guess they stopped making them or only selling them in select markets and they were gone. Woohoo! Oh, right I live in Japan and they don’t have them out here… Foiled again, foiled again… But at least I can get seaweed flavored potato chips… Seriously do not eat seaweed flavored potato chips. You will though, you won’t try to but you will see a bag of chips at the store and it will look like sour cream and onion chips (but they’re not) and you aren’t really paying attention because it’s 2am and you are a little drunk and just grabbing shit off the shelves. All you wanted was some sour cream and onion chips (and a hot dog, Pocari Sweat, a tuna sandwich, 5 cans of Yebisu, shrimp flavored chips, chicken on a stick, and well anything your drunken mind decides is food…) and oh god nooooooooooo!
Yeah speaking of the Super Bowl I really want to be angry but it was a good game and the Steelers fucked up. Lord is it hard to find a place in Japan to watch the thing live. You can watch it like 7 hours later on some stations but lord is it hard to watch it live. OK the Steelers lost but it’s OK they still have more rings. Although if they did get a seventh I could make a Lord of the Rings joke. Granted I would have to hope there is enough crossover between Nerds and football fans that anyone would get it but I would still do it anyway. Of course I could still make a joke since the Packers can now say they’re the Elf Kings but I wanted the Dwarf Lords joke, and I should just stop right now…
In news you may already know they cancelled “Caprica”. Fuck you guys, seriously fuck you. Yeah I’m late but I watch things after I can get it or rent it on DVD or Blue-Ray. If was a good show but the ending was rushed. Mostly because you fucks cancelled it!
I have recently found out that Bruce Lee was part German. Apparently his mom was half German. Is this important? Not really, but interesting.
Speaking of Bruce Lee I like this quote from him:
“Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it”
The greatest thing Metallica ever did was throw Dave Mustaine out of the band. If they hadn’t we wouldn’t have Megadeth. It was also the dumbest thing they ever did because really Metallica sucks and hasn’t even pretended to write a good album in 20 years. Megadeth on the other hand is still one of the greatest bands ever.
So the other day someone broke into a house and then when the owner returned while they were there they get scared and lock themselves in the bathroom and call the police. Seriously the guy way afraid the owner of the house had a gun and might hurt them so they called the police for help. The fucked up thing is that the homeowner called the police at the same time so you had one 911 operator talking to the perp and one talking to the victim. The criminal didn’t even know if the homeowner had a gun he was just afraid they might. So afraid he called the police (the people going to take him to jail) to save him. If that isn’t a case for gun ownership I don’t know what is. I also wish I had been that 911 operator that took the call. I would have seriously told the guy I hope the homeowner does have a gun and blows his fucking head off right before I hung up.
And now time for something completely different:
The Middle East is burning, I’m trying to care. Really I hope something good comes out of all the revolutions and protests but it’s been so, so very long that anything good came out of the Middle East that I’m really just not that hopeful over the whole thing.
Radiation levels in Tokyo have recently risen to the level of “Still Not Anywhere Close To What You Got From That X-ray At The Dentist Last Week” (that is the official scientific term for the current levels). Please continue to freak the fuck out. I’ll say it like this. If you spend the entire day outside you will be exposed to the same amount of radiation you get in a 6 hour flight. You don’t spend 24 hours a day outside and you don’t hear about airline pilots mutating into monsters or dying or radiation poisoning every 5 seconds so please continue to freak the fuck out.
Ah, I’m back. I know how much you all missed me. I’m sorry, I truly am, but I am back now so you can all stop cutting your wrists and crying yourselves to sleep every night. I was just really busy doing things like going to a concert every weekend, watching every season of Stargate: SG1 and Arrested Development, getting a girlfriend, getting a promotion at work, getting a demotion at work, breaking up with a girlfriend, getting promoted again at work and well generally doing everything but paying attention to this blog.
Anyhoo, I have a couple things I need to post that I have worked on in my absence, but I think I’ll start off with a good drunken rant. So everyone pour yourself a drink, put on your seat belts and your self-righteous sense of indignation and let’s get with the ranty…
Julian Assange the rapist that runs Wikileaks is in the news a lot. I find it funny that the guy claims to be protecting free speech and trying to keep the public informed about the actions of the government(s) but how come he only goes after countries that are already for the most part open societies? You never see this douche ever releasing tones of documents from China or Iran? If the fuck really cared about all the crap he says he does his site wouldn’t be quite so one sided. The keep saying they have a bunch of dirt on Russia and China they are going to release but they never get around to it. Why is that? Plus the guy is yelling that if Sweden tries to have him arrested on rape charges or if he is extradited to Sweden he will release more stuff. Really? Instead of trying to defend himself against the rape charges he tries to blackmail everyone into not doing anything about it or he will release stolen classified documents. He is a good guy to say the least. If the fuck hadn’t raped those girls you think he wouldn’t need to try to blackmail the world into getting out of it. Fuck him. OK so maybe he didn’t and it was just some girls angry that he nailed them both in the same week, still does the loser have to try to blackmail people to get out of it?
North Korea is acting up again. By this point I don’t even know if it qualifies as news. A more shocking headline might go like this:
“North Korea acts like a civilized country”
Even China is trying to find a way to tell them to fuck off without making it look like they have capitulated to the West. It’s so bad that China told the U.S. not to send a Carrier Group into the China sea and when the U.S. did it anyway to fuck with North Korea China didn’t say shit. Hugo Chavez won’t even talk to them and he will suck up to anyone that hates the U.S. Look North Korea, if China will not lift a finger to protect you there is no way you can win a war with anyone. Remember Iraq? The countries government was destroyed in weeks. Yes there was still fighting after that but that was a bunch of angry jihadists not a country’s army. You have a big army but they are extremely underfed and poorly supplied. Your missiles rarely do anything other than blow up the launch pad and your most “advanced” jets are so old one U.S. Aircraft Carrier could destroy your entire Air Force before lunch. I know you might be able to make a little trouble in a war but unless you are trying to commit suicide you might want to take a moment and think about what you are doing.
Potential dates should come with warning labels. Like “I’m really married and have kids but I want a boyfriend on the side. And no you can’t date other people, I don’t want you cheating on me”. Fucking hell people are crazy. I find out you are married and you get angry at me for having a problem with it?
Other good warning labels would be:
“I have kids I’m not going to tell you about”
“I’m not going to mention I’m not here legally until it’s too late”
“I’m just trying to get a sugar daddy/mommy”
“I’m going to make this as serious as possible even though I know I’m moving out of the country/state/city… Well… You get the point”.
“I’m already pregnant with someone else’s kid”
“I have (inset name of STD here)”
Fucking hell, dating sucks. Thank god I never had to deal with the last one.
The TSA. Yes apparently they now either have to take naked pictures of you in a machine that causes cancer or caress your junk in order to let you fly. I’m all for reasonable security but is this really necessary? They don’t even know the long term effects of the machines. There is serious worry that is could cause fertility problems and problems to pregnant women but fuck it lets do it anyway. Come the fuck on people! We all know who the problem is. It’s pissed off Moslems. Stop strip searching old ladies and tourists and go after the real threat. Pissed off Moslems. I don’t mind the metal d detectors or the bag x-rays but shouldn’t we be focusing our efforts on the people who want to blow up planes? Like pissed off Moslems? Even the terrorists with the ELF and ALF aren’t trying to blow up planes. Saying it’s wrong to profile pissed off Moslems is like saying it’s wrong to profile sex offenders or serial killers. Fucking hell people buy a fucking clue.
Anyway if you do want to do the full body scan and not the sexual assault portion of your security screening at the airport I suggest everyone puts on a stap-on dildo when they do it. All the women will look like they have a penis and all the men will look like they have two. Also make sure you smile at the screeners like a pervert and see if they have enough balls to ask the questions you know they don’t want to ask.
People need to be more honest in relationships. If you only gave me your phone number and kissed me was because you were drunk just tell me that before I spend 10,000 Yen on tickets to a concert for us so you can do everything in you power to avoid me. Hell why the fuck did you tell me you wanted to go with me when I asked? I’d chalk this up as someone trying to get a free ticket to a show if it were not for the fact you showed up so late you missed 95% of it. Really I just want to thank you for that. I spent 5,000 Yen so you could see the last two songs. Hell, by the time you showed up I figured you were not coming (especially since your friend showed up and said you weren’t) and was having a great time with this other girl who you then thankfully cock-blocked me from when you did show up only to once again continue to mess with me just enough to make me think I had a chance. Seriously, fuck you.
I live in Japan as people who have read this crap I call a blog before might know. Japan really needs to get rid of Article 9 of their Constitution (it’s the one that says they can’t have a real military for people that don’t know). They do, China is a fuck but they aren’t really attacking anyone (that isn’t one of their own people) but North Korea is a problem. Plus they just need too. It’s time they woke up and took charge of their own defense. I’m not saying they need to get rid of the U.S. that partnership is good for both countries but they can’t spend the rest of their existence depending on another country for their defense. The second Japan wakes up and builds themselves a real army, navy and air force it will give North Korea a whole new set of things to be worried about. They might even stop trying to lob missiles over the country and kidnapping Japanese children. Right now the Japanese politicians like getting themselves elected bitching about the U.S. Military knowing that they will never do anything about it. They know they don’t have the balls to to kick America out (something they can do at any time) because they want to be protected by the U.S. but still be able to use it as a wedge issues at election time. Plus they don’t want to spend the money it would take to deal with national defense. It’s a joke. Stop it. It’s not 1946 anymore. Grow up.
I would follow you into hell itself Petty Officer Hashimoto!
Why did several of my non-American friends wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving on their Facebook pages? I don’t get it? You’re from Poland or Japan! I know you have some American friends and all I just think it’s odd.
Speaking of Facebook I really do not know why I have an account. I have a regular email address people can use. I really do not know what the point of most of it is. Especially the status updates. Fucking hell I really do not know why you need to post pictures of what you made for dinner or the fact you are shopping at some fucking store. It’s like the height of vapid egotism. I understand maybe telling people you got married or that you will be in town for the weekend. I get the invitations to events. But for the love of all that is holy I have no idea why I need to know you are currently reading Green Eggs and Ham to your kid. Plus how they hell are you reading to your kid and posting on Facebook at the same time?
Why can you buy everything NIN has ever released on iTunes except their first album? I can either buy it off iTunes for $9.99 and the money goes to the band or I can get it for $3.00 at a used record shop and they make no money. Think about it guys.
Speaking of iTunes, has anyone else had the problem were the track names are wrong? I had that happen a couple times were all the song names moved down a rank so track 1 had track 2’s name and so on. One time it was just all jumbled up. This has only happened like 3 or 4 times though so I’m not saying it’s all fucked up but it’s not always correct.
Apparently the other day some Egyptian officials have said the recent shark attacks around the Sinai Peninsula may be a plot by the Mossad proving once again there is nothing Moslems won’t try to blame on the Jews. It’s like they think Dr. Evil is running Israel. The sad thing is that Egypt is one of the saner Moslem countries.
The Berkeley City Council is considering a resolution to declare Pfc. Manning, the asshole that stole then released thousands of classified documents to Wikileaks a hero. What the fuck! I understand that Berkeley is one of the most insane places in America but come the fuck on people, how the hell is releasing classified documents to foreign nationals while in a warzone heroic? It’s treason you shitheads. Why the hell haven’t we walled off California from the rest of the country? We could let Puerto Rico in as a state and still have 50. We could either have the unwashed communist douche-bags that make up Berkeley or we could have Puerto Rican girls and mofongo. Think about it.
Speaking of Wikileaks a lot of people have been attacking people and companies that didn’t support them. So much for free speech I guess. It’s cool to have free speech when you want them to release classified documents but not OK for other people to use their own freedoms to disagree with you. I really would like to know exactly how much hypocrisy you can spill out before cognitive dissonance starts to manifest itself in your brains. Fuck now I’m going to get attacked…
I have always liked the quote “Your failure to plan does not constitute and emergency on my part”. Sometimes it starts with “your piss poor planning”. Really if you knew about a project months ago and did nothing do not come to me 5 minutes before I leave work and try to tell me you need something by tomorrow. Not only are you expecting me to stay late to get you out of your own fuck up but you and trying to tell me that everyone who had come to me well in advance needs to wait because you fucked up. It’s rude and irresponsible and I’m not going to screw over other people because of your mistakes or laziness.
I know what cat tastes like. I also know what dog, horse, alligator, kangaroo and sea urchin taste like, and they are tasty!
Speaking of eating cat, why do people think it is disgusting? You eat things like shrimp and crab right? You eat lobster and that is just a giant underwater cockroach. But cat is gross?
Food
Not food?
The Yakuza video game series is coming out with 2 new games and one has zombies!!! It’s like Sega has finally read all my letters and death threats. OK they already put out 4 in Japan but it won’t come out in English till March 2011. 5 has the zombies but I don’t know when it is coming out in English. It better be quick Sega, it better be quick…
See the awesome? Do you see it!!!
They say the insane man never questions his sanity. So that would mean only the sane ever ask themselves if they might be crazy, but can someone really be sane if they feel the need to question their sanity?
If you are trying to rationalize or deconstruct that the farther away from the truth you will be. Seriously you should be laughing you humorless pretentious fuck.
I really think the Emo kids should be thanking Hipsters. Why? Because at least they finally have someone out there more useless and annoying than them. Good for you Emo kids you finally have someone to look down on, someone to pick on, aren’t social hierarchies fun?
What is the point of the “Wink” on dating websites? Is it just saying I like you but have no idea what to say so hopefully if I wink at you will start and conversation and I don’t have too? Are we to shy to just say hello so we just wink at everyone hopping one of them will introduce themselves? To be fair the wink at least makes more sense than the “poke” on Facebook. Why would you poke someone. It’s considered rude in real life but on the internets you are supposed to poke people? At least a wink you can tell yourself “hey they think I’m cute or fun” or something. With a poke all I want to do is say “Stop poking me you fuck it’s rude”. But I can’t do that because then they might think I want to talk to them. They need a punch button. You’d get a nice email from Facebook saying something like “You have just been punched by Robert Henderson for poking him” or “You have just been punched by Megumi Nakahara for your Farmville request”.
The Grocery store by me house needs to stay open later. I run out of beer around 9 but you always close at 7. It’s not my fault that I didn’t know I wanted to keep drinking after you close. Sometimes I only want a couple and sometimes I just don’t care that it is Wednesday and I have to go to work tomorrow. You need to be there for me guys. You know I love you…
Hmm… Beer run…
Why did you need to know that?
You didn’t, it’s almost like this is Facebook…
Seriously why the hell do I even have a Facebook account? The only time I ever post anything it to make fun of other people’s stupid posts of post random Megadeth and Misfits videos for no reason. Well at least it’s not Twitter…
Why do I pick on Twitter you ask? Well because I pick on everything. That and Twitter is the only thing on the planet other than maybe Kanye West that can make I Can Has Cheezburger look deep and meaningful.
FYI Kanye West has a Twitter account. I’m just amazed that hasn’t caused an black hole that is slowly draining all intelligence out of the universe.
Wait I might have spoke too soon… Fuck… Now I have to talk about Dancing With The Stars. Why do you fucks make me do this? And Why do I do it when I know that i don’t have too? God how I hate you all… First off I will tell you I have never watched this show and have no wish to do so. I just don’t care. It’s a fucking TV show about dancing for fucks sake! So why am I talking about it? Well apparently people got so worked up about Bristol Palin being on it and the fact that she wasn’t kicked off that they called the FCC to complain and demand and investigation of the show. Some people went so far as to make really threatening comments and one guy even shot his TV over the fact she was on it. Look crazy people you win the show by having the most votes, and enough people called in to vote to keep her on so she stayed no matter how bad you think her dancing was. Plus she didn’t even win the fucking thing. OK, sanity check for all you fucks out there. IT IS A SHOW ABOUT CELEBRITIES (IN THE LOOSEST POSSIBLE DEFINITION OF THE TERM) DANCING. AND WE GET THIS WORKED UP OVER IT? Seriously it’s a stupid show about people who we might know having a dancing competition it’s not that important. More idiots bitched about Bristol Palin’s dancing than said shit about that fact North Korea started shelling a South Korean island killing several people. Do you hate Sarah Palin that much that the fact her daughter – who is not in politics even the littlest bit – had people vote for her on a fucking stupid reality show about b-list celebrities dancing that you act like it is the end of the fucking world while North Korea and Iran are trying to start WWIII? Seriously you need to get your priorities strait. Bristol Palin’s dancing has no affect on the planet or anyone’s daily life. It’s not fucking important. The fact that North Korea is trying to start a fucking war with South Korea and may have nukes is important. The fact that their friend Iran is trying to get nukes is important. Bristol Palin’s dancing does not have the potential to start a nuclear war in Asia and the Middle East. If Bristol Palin’s dancing is biggest issue of the day I would say the world is a good place. The problem is that it’s the least we have to worry about and that is what you morons chose to pay attention too. Fucking hell…
I always liked the quote from the Joker in the 1989 movie Batman “This town needs an enema”. I really think we need to say this world needs an enema though. And a couple punches in the face…
I always hated Christmas. Not because of the religious parts and not even because of the commercialization to the point where it has nothing to do with the religious aspects. I always hated it because of Christmas music. Most Christmas music is fucking terrible and annoying. You go into a store and you here the same couple songs over and over for a month (if not sometimes longer) strait. I once had a job were not only did they pipe the shit over the speaker system but in the front where I worked they had something else playing music so you had to listen to two different Christmas songs at the same time. Stop it, just stop it already. Then there are the annoyances about people expecting you to be with your family and get presents for everyone and all that shit. My family has email and I might even remember to send a message every other year so lay off. On the presents thing, last time I check Christmas was about celebrating the birth of Jesus. Jesus got presents on his birthday because it was his birthday and he was the son of fucking God. You’re not the son of fucking God so why should you get anything? You don’t expect to get presents on your mom or Glenn Danzig’s birthday do you, so why do you have to get greedy the second Jesus wants to party a bit?
For all this talk I do celebrate Christmas in my own way. I play Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues, watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of Santa Claus Conquers The Martians and get drunk. Basically do the same thing I do on Valentine’s Day only without the crimes against humanity… This year however there is a Rockabilly show with Burlesque dancers and Santa Claus… I’m going to hell aren’t I?
Iran was in the news the other day for sentencing someone to be blinded by acid. As sad as it is it is a step up from their usual stoning to death rape victims. At least this guy did commit a crime. I guess it was a slow week for them since they didn’t have any homosexuals to hang or students to rape and murder. Fuck you Iran, fuck you.
After 4 years new HATE COMICS. Please click on the image to enlarge. Also the person that did this would like you to send all death threats and Fatwas to fuckyourjihad@islamcansuckmydick.com. You want to get angry about people making fun of Muhammad and Islam stop blowing shit up and trying to kill people if they even mention the shit. Welcome to the 21st century assholes.
There are a lot of factors in Japanese society people believe contribute to the above average suicide rate, my theory is the Japanese DMV. If America ran their DMV like Japan does people would be using the term “Going DMV” instead of “Going Postal”. Unlike America guns are not as easily obtained in Japan because the only people who sell them are the Yakuza and they are very picky on who they sell them to. The Japanese DMV is like the 10th circle of hell, I had to go to 10 different offices in the same compound get 400 stamps (they had people there just to stamp the fact that I got the correct stamp from the last guy before moving me on to stamp the next 10,000 pages of paperwork and pay the 18 different random taxes necessary just to get the car inspected to be eligible to pay another 12 random taxes and get another 600 things stamped so I can say I own the thing and might be allowed to drive it. Then after all that I still have to go to the police station and after proving to them I own not only have the car and the millions of pages of paperwork all properly stamped and taxes paid but that I either own or rent a parking space. Once the police see the Prime Minister has finally approved of the fact that I have this car I can pay the police more money just for the right to not only drive my car but use the parking space that I either own/rent (you might accuse me of exaggeration, I am but not by much). Next year around this time I will have to do the whole thing again. Unlike the DMV in America at least the people there are helpful and nice to you. But I think it’s out of pity because they understand your pain, or it’s for the same reason a serial killer smiles at his victim. Either way I feel cold, cold and dead inside.
And now kids you know why everyone takes the train because the idea of being shoved into a train that was meant for only 60 with 500 other people sounds like a better idea than going to the DMV. The funny thing is that cars are really cheep in Japan, the car is everything else is more expensive. If your car note is 200 a month you give 300 a month to the DMV and you don’t even want to think about road tolls (it’s cheaper to take a plane or a train from Tokyo to Osaka than it is to drive unless you want the trip to take the 6 years it will take you to find all the non-toll roads in between the two).
This is what a Japanese road looks like if you remove the buildings.
Really why do I drive in this country? Yeah, I paid almost nothing for the car (I literally bought it for a round of beers) nothing is free, and when you think it’s almost free it isn’t. I think he made out on the deal…
This is the least confusing road sign in the entire country of Japan. Add 6 more squiggly lines on it and some algebraic equations and that is what they normally look like. Now try to read it going 65 miles an hour while trying to do the math in your head.
They also light up, and blink, and dance, I have yet to figure out why.
(For people that don’t know that’s 911 in Australia or 119 in Japan.)
“AN ELDERLY man suffering from asbestosis had to call Triple-0 from his hospital bed in Lismore Base to get help from a nurse.
Eighty-seven-year old World War II veteran Kevin Park called the emergency number after night shift failed to hear the brass bell he was given as a replacement to the electronic call system at the hospital, which is still not operational.
Yesterday a still angry Mr Park said after ringing the bell for 45 minutes, ‘desperate times demanded desperate action’.
“This is like the Third World. We are being treated like dogs.”
Patients in Lismore Base’s surgical ward were issued with brass bells four weeks ago after both the emergency and nurse call systems failed.
North Coast Area Health last night offered the air force veteran from Iluka an apology ‘for any distress that may have been caused to Mr Park and his family’.
The spokesperson confirmed that the call system for patients to use should they suffer a fall in the toilet or showers was also not working.
“Lismore Base Hospital is currently waiting on quotes to repair the call system and the timeframe is estimated (at) four to six weeks,” the spokesperson said.
The hospital is also waiting for quotes to fix one of its two aging lifts in its main A block.
Lismore Base Hospital Medical Staff Council media liaison officer Dr Chris Ingall said the poor state of Lismore Base Hospital was symptomatic of the crisis gripping the health care system.
“They are running down Lismore Base Hospital in anticipation of a Federal Government takeover,” he said.
The hospital denied it was allowing the facility to fall into disrepair.
But Mr Park, who has been a patient there for almost three weeks, agrees with Dr Ingall.
“They are just letting this whole place to be run down,” he said.
Connected to an oxygen bottle to assist his breathing, the Iluka man has been restricted to his hospital bed for the last two-and-a-half weeks after he developed a severe case of cellulitis in his left leg, which prevents him from walking.
This week he woke just after midnight with a soaked hospital gown.
Unsure whether he was covered in blood or sweat, Mr Park rang the bell to call a nurse.
The nurse quickly gave him the all clear, but left before giving him dry clothing.
Mr Park said he rang his bell off and on for another 45 minutes in attempt to get something dry to sleep in but with only two nurses on duty to care for the large ward, no one responded.
Distressed, he called his wife who is staying at a veteran’s hostel at Ballina. She suggested he call Triple-0.
But as he was put through to the emergency operator, a nurse arrived and took his phone.
She returned it 45 minutes later without the battery and sim card.
“I don’t care what anyone says, that’s theft,” Mr Park said yesterday. “It was my only communication with the outside world and they took it away from me.”
In the meantime, his anxious wife was trying to call him on the mobile. Fearing the worst she eventually got through to the nurses’ station and was told her husband was alright.
The phone’s battery and sim card were returned to Mr Park the next morning.
The hospital spokesperson said Mr Park’s phone was taken from him to prevent him disturbing other patients.”
They didn’t take is phone away because they didn’t want him to disturb other patients they did it so he wouldn’t disturb them, or make them look bad. This is Australia not a Third World country!
But people try to say how nice socialized medicine is, yet every day you hear more and more stories about this kind of thing. In England they were leaving people to die in the ambulances so they would have to take care of them, in Canada it takes months to get an MRI (there are more MRI machines in NYC that all of Canada) and in Cuba the hospitals look like Sudanese prisons. But it’s free! Oh high taxes, right. Nothing is free someone always has to pay for it, you just want to make someone else do it. The sad thing is that when the Government is in control of your health care you are not, that means that even if you can afford faster and better treatment unless you go to another country (like the Canadians who come to the US to get faster care) you get the same crappy health care that the lazy junkie on the corner gets on your tax dollars. In the free market if someone does not do the job you hired them to do, like painting your house or properly fixing your broken leg you don’t pay them. They know this so there is an incentive to do the job right the first time or they will go out of business. The Government could care less they will get your taxes and if they don’t you go to jail. They have no incentive to care, they only want power and it will be at your expense.
Think about it this way, if a WWII vet can’t get decent health care what chance do you have?
H/T to MK who I may have stolen a bit from on the title.
I spend a lot of my time making fun of North Korea or at least the Tiny Tot they call their leader anyway. I do it because I care, about humor, political humor that is (if you don’t find me funny you rape baby seals and can watch MSNBC without laughing… I really don’t know what bothers me more about you…). I also care about Korea, sort of, I care about Korean women because I find them to be rather attractive so if you are a young Korean Woman in her 20’s or early 30’s please go here… Wait that wasn’t the point of this was it? What was I talking about?
OK I’ll be honest, North Korea didn’t threaten to blow themselves up, they threatened to blow up the United States and South Korea. And while they may be able to do some damage I think they will hurt themselves a bit more than they will hurt anyone else. First off their main ballistic missile is the Taepodong-2 and it has a tendency to blow up during launch. Now this might cause a problem for them when they try to blow someone else up considering the Type of dong-2 Taepodong-2 even when it doesn’t blow up during the launch is more likely to act like a boomerang and still blow up the launch pad than actually get close enough to do anything. Yes I know every now and then they get one in the air that doesn’t come back and blow up the poor bastard that tried to launch the thing but it’s not very often. To put it in perspective the Withdrawal Method has a better chance at preventing crabs than one of those things has of hitting it’s target (unless the target is the launching pad, they are good at that one). Interestingly enough maybe if they set the target as the launching pad they might get lucky. Granted this is the same logic that makes me wonder if I might be able to make a hole-in-one while golfing if I aimed in the opposite direction of the green but that’s why I don’t play golf, I’m bad at it, very, very bad at it (unless I’m in someone’s living room with a Wii controller in my hand). My point is when your only hope is a Hail Mary that requires you to shoot at yourself you might want to find another game to play. You’d be safer playing Russian Roulette with a Colt 1911.
Well if their missiles aren’t that good they do have other things. Like top-notch fighter jets… Wait, nope don’t have that either. They do have fighters but much like the hilarity that is the name of their missiles their jets are even better. The North Korean Air Force still use MIG-15’s. Now why is this funny? Well for two reasons. The first is that the MIG-15 was top of the line when it was introduced and was a formidable fighter jet, but that was in 1947. So their aircraft are over 60 years behind the times. But wait there’s more! All jets have a number such as the F-14, F-22 and so on, but they also have what is called a Reporting Name. In the case of the F-14 it’s the Tomcat and the F-22 it’s the Raptor. Good, strong names. The MIG-15 is the Fagot. Seriously I’m not making this up. the North Korean Air Force is flying around in a bunch of Fagots. Granted I will give them that it’s not their most popular fighter. The second most popular fighter – that isn’t for only training purposes – is the Shenyang J-5 that was introduced in China in 1956, but it is really just a copy of the MIG-17 introduced in 1952. Sadly both the Shenyang J-5 and the MIG-17 are called a Fresco and not say the MIG-17 Dike and then moving on to the MIG-21 Lady Boy (the MIG-21 is a Fishbed, it’s not really a step up though). Yes their most popular fighter is the MIG-21 Fishbed. I’m so, so afraid.
This is what the North Korean Air force is made of:
The MIG-15 Fagot
The MIG-17 Fresco
The MIG-19 Farmer
The MIG-21 Fishbed
The sad thing is that the 8-track deck your grandfather has at his house is more technologically advance than the entirety of the North Korean Air Force.
Then there is the North Korean Army. Yes it is quite large for a country that size, but they haven’t eaten in weeks. If they ever tried to invade South Korea people would be confused weather or not it was an invasion or a bunch of refugees fleeing across the border looking for food. We don’t even need land mines on the DMZ we could just drop thousands of pounds of Twinkies and Ramen Noodles on the advancing North Korean Army and it would halt them in their tracks. Hell the only reason their Tinny Tot of a communist dictator (I know communist and dictator in the same sentence is redundant but every now and then a dictator isn’t a communist or socialist) still pulls this shit is he’s hoping the world doesn’t call his bluff so he can dupe them into sending more food aid. Sadly it works, I don’t know why but I suspect it’s because half the world feels bad and the rest don’t want to look bad by picking on the kid in the wheel chair. It’s that or the fact we all know that if it gets any worse we might actually have to go in there and do something. It would take 50 years and a 500 billion dollars to get them to Somalia levels of civilization. Think about it like this I could go to Somalia right now and get a cellphone an internet connection and a HDTV and a Blu-Ray player. In North Korea I can’t even get an aspirin without having to bride 18 members or Kim Jong-il’s inner circle. The country had to kidnap a South Korean Film Director and Actress in order to have a film industry and the best the North Korean film industry could come up with was a cheep knock-off of Godzilla called Pulgasari (the only reason this movie was sent to international audiences was because some Japanese guy thought it would be funny).* In their version he is a nice monster and only becomes evil because of Capitalism (Michael Moore has better stuff and he’s illiterate). That’s what we are working with here. That’s why we pay the bribe money, we don’t have kind of money or time it would take to fix them so it’s easier to just leave them to fester and take care of the ones lucky and smart enough to get away.
Granted the world might not have the money to pull North Korea out of the hole they dug but we could afford to drop over more than Twinkies and Ramen Noodles to get them to stop an attack. But why bother, plus you have to start them off slow. We are talking about a county where the national dish is Grass Soup and dog meat is considered something only the rich can afford. Now people do eat a lot of dog meat in North Korea, but if your not connected trust me it’s not dog. What they call dog meat is what we in the rest of the world call “Longpig”, it’s just easier to call it dog meat than try to explain to your family that you traded their dead Grandmother to the family down the street for their dead uncle (because no one wants to eat their own grandmother and no one in North Korea with believe that you somehow found fresh beef the day after grandma dies). so dog it is (FYI dog is good and beef like).
So please do the world a favor North Korea and knock the shit off. Your entire air force can be stopped by one Squadron of F-18’s, your army can be bought off with a couple bags of Doritos and some instant ramen, your missiles only shoot one way (at the poor bastard that launched the thing) and your nuclear program is only a worry if you can figure out how to smuggle a weapon to a bunch of cave dwelling goat raping Islamakazis who would probably just blow themselves up since they would not be able to read the Korean instruction manual much less translate it into their own language something they also can’t read.
I almost feel bad about laughing at you. Almost….

* Yes it was a joke and no, the two kidnaped individuals had nothing to do with that film, I was making a point about how crappy the North Korean film industry is since the two individuals were at the time considered South Korea’s greatest director and actress. For those who don’t know South Korean cinema is good, very good, but even their best couldn’t fix North Korea. To put it another way, it’s as if you kidnaped Alfred Hitchcock and Audrey Hepburn, make them teach you everything they know and still can’t come up with anything better than a movie Carrot Top wouldn’t be a part of. They can’t even get to Ed Wood level of bad (I don’t know what is worse Ed Wood or Carrot Top, at least Ed Wood can be unintentionally funny, were Carrot top is trying to be funny but is a hate crime). North Korean Cinema is so bad Mystery Science Theater 3000 couldn’t make it funny. And I have seen the miracles they can perform. Has anyone seen their version of Manos The Hands Of Fate? That movie is so bad if you tried to watch that movie without the MST3K guys at the helm you would have sucked off a shotgun at the 15 minute mark just to make it stop. It’s that bad, and North Korean cinema is still worse.
The FBI will explore whether Lower Merion School District officials broke any federal wiretap or computer-intrusion laws, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the investigation.
Days after a student filed suit over the practice, Lower Merion officials acknowledged Friday that they remotely activated webcams 42 times in the past 14 months, but only to find missing student laptops. They insist they never did so to spy on students, as the student’s family claimed in the federal lawsuit.
Families were not informed of the possibility the webcams might be activated in their homes without their permission in the paperwork students sign when they get the computers, district spokesman Doug Young said…
The American Civil Liberties Union also entered the case Monday, filing a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the student, arguing the alleged secret webcam activation in a home amounts to an illegal search.
Robbins filed suit last week, alleging that Harriton officials took a photo of him inside his home in November. He said he learned of it when an assistant principal said she knew he was engaging in improper behavior at home. According to Haltzman, the supposed pills were actually Mike and Ike candies.”
They are spying on our children, they are spying on us! Look This school intentionally gave every child they have a lap top knowing they had they ability to remotely turn on these webcams whenever they wanted so they would have access to their students and their students families lives. Orwell is rolling in his grave right now. Yeah, they will say that’s not why they did it but they knew that when they were doing it they would have that power. Any person no matter how “good” they think their intentions are that would think this is a good idea should not be allowed around children, ever. Any person who would want that power should never be granted it no matter how good they think their cause is.
They accessed a computer that had not been stolen (the reason they claim they use the cameras) and then tried to claim some kid is doing something wrong in his own home. Now the kid says he was eating candy, he might have been, he might not have been. That isn’t the point not only did the school district spy on the kid they used it to try to go after him. Had the kid been doing drugs that is for the cops to deal with and they can’t spy on you without a warrant. This is a school, not a police department. Now we should ask ourselves how many other schools are doing the same thing and just have not been caught?
The sad thing about this is that the school is going to lose a ton of money because of their own actions and then stick the bill on the taxpayers and come crawling back for more money from the taxpayers because they just lost a ton of money and need to make it up. And after all that the teachers unions will make sure no one gets fired for this, not only that but they will be right there bitching about needing more money for schools while they protect teachers and schools that would do this. And when it’s all over at the end of the day the public schools will still pump out undereducated children.
Unconfirmed Reports Of Possible Zombie Outbreak In Texas:
Authorities Have Little To Say, Cover-up? You Decide.
By T. YAMAMOTO Copyright 2010 Letters To A Dying Dream
Feb. 18, 2010, 7:27PM
There have been reports on internet message boards that a possible Zombie outbreak may occur in Texas, so far no location has been established as of yet but residents should stay watchful for anything out of the ordinary and to contact the authorities if they suspect anything. A Texas woman calling herself Sophie left this cryptic message on a popular confession board:
“Today, after recently having had surgery, I Iearnt that some extra tissue was needed to cover up the hole in the roof of my mouth. Where did they get this tissue? From a dead person. I now have the flesh of a dead person in my mouth, which by the way is now infected. FML”
Dr. Bahadur Singh MD the Acting Director Of Otolaryngology at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta was quoted in saying that “while skin grafts are common, using necrotic tissue in the mouth is not standard for this type of operation and due to the health risks involved is not something any legitimate medical professional would do. Now since we have yet to find the source of this and do a thorough medical exam on the patient in question it may be premature to jump to any conclusions.”
When called for comment a source within the Governor’s office – who spoke with us on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press – had this to say:
“While zombie sighting are occasionally reported they usually turn out to be a hoax or a a misunderstanding. In 2008 some high school students claimed to have seen zombies occupying the Toyota Center in Huston on the night of February 19th. When the responding officers got there it turned out to be a political rally. However, as it is now with this case we cannot confirm or deny that there have been any true zombie sightings in the state of Texas and our standard answer is that zombies do not exist in order not to create mass hysteria before all the facts are in and the Governor along with agencies form the Federal Government can coordinate a workable strategy”.
Rumors of a possible cover-up have been widely reported in the Blogosphere leading some people to begin preparations on their own. Jerome Butler from Eglin a city 28 miles east of Austin, when interviewed claimed that “he wasn’t taking any chances” and planned on making a trip to some local sporting goods and hardware stores on his way home from work. “I have a wife and two daughters and I’m not going to take any chances with their lives” he said. Other Eglin residents weren’t so worried. Sarah Hernandez, Jerome’s Neighbor, when interviewed only had this to say on the matter; “Who cares? Really we have enough problems in this world like Global Warming, who has time to worry about silly this like zombies? If the Government doesn’t say anything about it I’m inclined not to pay any attention.”
As of yet no Hospital in Texas has yet to comment on this situation and have not returned this reporters calls.
