Tommy Bowden resigned effective immediately at the request of President
Bush. Bowden will now become the head of FEMA.
Bush said that he was impressed by the way Bowden evacuated 70,000
people from Tiger Stadium last Saturday in less than an hour.

Bush seeking $700 billion for financial bailout

This can't be good can it? Anyone here know what all this financial means now and in the future? I mean no one knows but perhaps understands the cause and effects more so than me.

This linkgot me researching what it proposed. Seems like a lot of people are pissed at the idea of it.

So my big question is this: Will this keep us from going into a deep recession/depression or will this do minimal damage control and just add to our ridiculous deficit and cause more for tax payers to pay back?

The best short story ever

I hesitated on posting this, 'cause I didn't think anyone would read it, but I'm gonna post it anyway and maybe a few will. It is seriously one of the funniest and most well written (for what it is - the kid's no Bill Shakespeare) short story I've read in I don't know how long. Have fun.

Nice work, if you can get it

Under the terms of his employment contract, Daniel H. Mudd, the departing head of Fannie Mae, stands to collect $9.3 million in severance pay, retirement benefits and deferred compensation, provided his dismissal is deemed to be “without cause,” according to an analysis by the consulting firm James F. Reda & Associates. Mr. Mudd has already taken home $12.4 million in cash compensation and stock option gains since becoming chief executive in 2004, according to an analysis by Equilar, an executive pay research firm.

Richard F. Syron, the departing chief executive of Freddie Mac, could receive an exit package of at least $14.1 million, largely because of a clause added to his employment contract in November of last year as his company’s troubles deepened. He has taken home $17.1 million in pay and stock option gains since becoming chief executive in 2003.

Well, Tad, I do get it, and I'm not all that surprised you don't.

And, Dave, try opening up your fucking ears and listening next time.

That's what I'd say to those guys.


Jesus Christ, I'm such a badass.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

I don't know if any of you saw Palin's acceptance speech last night. Her delivery was fine, but the speech, originally written before McCain had made a choice and at a time when people thought he would pick someone like Romney or Lieberman, was your standard vicious Republican nonsense.

The AP, which has recently been quite friendly to McCain, has released a report condemning the falsehoods in her speech, and that can be found here.

In the speech, she claimed that she, as the mother of a disabled child, would support the parents of disabled children across the country. Perhaps in true Republican fashion she has had a change of heart, once confronted with such issues personally, but in her 18 months as Governor of Alaska, she has overseen a 67% reduction in funding for special education programs. Maybe in a similar vein, she will change her position on funding programs for young, unwed mothers and her support for abstinence only sex-ed programs. Such changes of heart would be good, were they to occur, but what does it say about the woman's judgment that she can only see the benefit of such things only when affected personally?

I would have liked to link to factcheck.org for some of these, but because no one had heard of Sarah Palin as of a week ago (and yet now the Republicans are going on as if she is the greatest politician in America), there is nothing up yet. I will, however, link to one of their posts about the McCain campaign's attacks on his tax plan.

Finally, Palin made a remark about Obama's work as a community organizer. She said: "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities." The mouth breathers ate it up. Here's the thing: community organizers work hard and for little pay trying to create local solutions for local problems - they are just the sort of people that the small-government Republicans used to praise. Now they are the objects of Republican ridicule. The forever awesome Roland Martin takes this one down:



Update: The bit about the Special Ed. budget in AK being cut under Palin turns out to be based on an incorrect reading of the budget. See this here.

Minn. Police Conduct Preemptive Raids Against RNC Protestors

Greenwald: The AT&T Convention in Denver

The link in the title will take you to Glenn Greenwald's article on the tote bags being given as gifts to the delegates and press that are attending the convention this week. From the look of the pictures Greenwald posted, and the sheer audacity (in my mind) of printing a huge-ass AT&T logo on the side of the bag, I thought for sure that this was photoshop at work. Further, when I looked the date when he posted the article, it seemed even more likely that the pictures were fake. Then I looked around the web and read this article and then this one. There are several others, but note the dates on the aforementioned articles, and unless the former was written by a total liar, well, she says she was there...

Why'd I post this? Jesus, guys, they're laughing at us. And you all know me - I'm not going to start a protest or a riot; I know all I have is my vote. In spite of the attention and historical "weight" that this election is surrounded by, I feel like we all have to be careful not to get swept up in the zeitgeist of this election cycle. With the extensive coverage, the record turn outs for the primaries, the history making event of having our first African-American nominee for President, etc., it's easy to make a decision just so as to be involved.
I'm not advocating complete abstinence, but I will say that we cannot continue to support, reward, or condone the behavior that we've seen lead to this sort of blatant disrespect for the rules we all say we're playing by(read: the motherfucking constitution) when we, in this case, "vote for the lesser of two evils."
Does this mean my mind is made up? No, not yet. But reading articles like those above make it increasingly difficult to side with someone, or even a group of people, who don't seem to care, in the slightest, for accountability, the rule of law, people over corporations; I could go on, but you get my point.

If you don't read the article, look at the pictures, recall what you know about what happened with the FISA legislation, and take this into consideration:
"How far are we away from both parties selling naming rights to the companies on whose behalf they so assiduously labor?" - Greenwald

EA Sports Jesus Shot

THE TIME IS NOW
No more excuses. No more waaah we can't win because our o-line sucks. No more wah we can't win cause our coach hasn't had the chance to recruit the right players. No more "oh my god, we're beating a good team, here comes the fuck up." Do Georgia fans worry about their O-line being a bunch of freshmen? NO! They expect to win no matter what! Does Tennessee ever worry that their coach is an idiot? NO! Does Florida worry that their quaterback is gay? NO! Those guys expect to win.
The Cocks have all the depth they need to beat anybody. I don't want to hear any more of this crap. Not from myself or anybody. Just win the Damn Game! I don't care if Jasper Brinkley has to play in a wheelchair. I don't care if we are starting our 4th string token benchwarmer white runningback. Just win it DAMNIT!!!!!!!!! AND WIN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time for this football team to fulfill its destiny!

Shitty Star Wars fan documentary

I know you all could care less about a Star Wars fan documentary; I'm really posting this just for the following quote:

"I don’t believe in God, I don’t believe in any of the organized religions… But I believe in George Lucas. I believe in Star Wars. I believe in Spider-Man. I believe in Superman. Most of the other stuff, I think people made up because it makes them feel better.”

Bathroom Humor

There's not enough bathroom humor in this blog; I seek to rectify the situation. Here's an excerpt from the article in the link:

"My colleagues backed away, with a look of abject horror and disgust as my two buttocks finally ceased their devilish applause causing my demolished rectum to finally recede into silence. I looked down. My trousers were bulging oddly, and I could see the carpet beneath my feet would require some serious work if it were ever to return to its previous, glorious blue."

I know that it sounds odd, but I'm having one right now (yes, it's before noon, but since there is a tropical storm on, I am playing by severe weather rules) and it isn't bad. I couldn't get my hands on a really nice stout, so I used Guinness. It's not bad, though a bit bitter. A Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout would likely make a fine milkshake.

Standing Wave/River Surfing

Eisbach, Munich, Germany. This is an aqueduct that is surfed, and apparently alot of people get hurt or drown here :(
Badass surfing though!







Waimea Beach, Hawaii.
The beach sits at the base of a valley which has a small stream running through it. Due to wave action, sand gets pushed up into a large hill in front of the stream each winter. This creates a natural dam that the stream water collects behind for months which is about 20 feet above the level of the ocean on the other side of the sand berm. Every year some one digs a trench through the sand releasing millions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean. This produces a standing wave which is perfect for body boarding and surfing on. When we first walked up these kids had just a trickle of water moving through a trench about a foot wide they had been digging for quite a while. Within 20 minutes it had turned into a roaring torrent. It was amazing to watch how fast it grew and ate away the banks. It all lasted about an hour before the water slowed down but it was fun watching the action.

Since I've been a bit in absentia recently, I thought I would provide a little chatter for your heads.

1) According to our trusty counter, we have only 40days until foo-ball starts. FUCK YEAH! Dust off the beerbongs folks, Papa needs some gravy with his biscuits.

2) In honor of Trevor "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" Michael, I would like to again place my vote for the name Stella Eugenia Michael. 'Nuff said.

3) This one is to get your squash working:
What is your favorite musical Pink Floyd moment? - i.e. if you had to pick one part of one song that is your faves, what would it be? I think mine would be the slow breakdown in "Dogs" where he talks about "the weight you used to need to throw around." Hells yeah.
