Kanye West - Shut Up, Grow Up & Go Away

Is anyone surprized at the level of maturity shown in these pics?

You Are NOT Correct! - President Obama

Nor are you only "Black, African Am., or Negro."

I cannot believe you filled out the 2010 Census form & only checked 'black' for race!
I find it disgusting that race is defined by colour in this country at all but given that it is, you are black AND white and should have checked both boxes!

To not acknowledge your white half is to show complete disregard for half of your entire family! In fact, you do a great disservice to all multi-racial people in this land by sucumbing to stereotypes & old racist views of 'it only takes a drop'.
Can you imagine the uproar if you had checked just 'white'? That uproar should be loud in your ears right now about your choice of heritage, or more accurately, your choice to only acknowledge half of it.

Is it not illegal to not be completely honest on this Census form?

Shame on you!

I can tell you for a fact, you mother would be very hurt!

Bring Back The Old Next Blog Link

I don't like the 'new improved' Next Blog link!

I want the old one back!

That one that took me to random places & introduced me to things I'd never thought about or seen before. Art I liked or thought was weird, or both. Political opinions on all things from all sides. Space. Frogs. Stupid people & clever pets.

Now all I seem to get is families.
No matter where I start, within a couple of clicks I'm looking at a little face with a rosette covered ribbon around it's head.
Seriously, I didn't do that to my own kid, why do you think a picture of someone else's kid who I don't know would interest me?

Please....STOP THINKING FOR ME!!!!!

I found this explanation...
We've made the Next Blog link more useful, by taking you to a blog that you might like.

Well, I DON'T LIKE!

I want to opt out of..."The new and improved Next Blog link will now take you to a blog with similar content, in a language that you understand."

I want to opt back into...'The old unimproved Next Blog link that will take me to a blog with nothing similar to the previous blog & not necessarily in the same language'....please?

Most Disgusting Male Award

Who'da thunk it?

I would have bet that Tiger-Lyin-Cheeta Woods & his behaviour would wear the 'Most Disgusting Male' crown for a long time...I would have lost the farm on that bet!

John Edwards is more disgusting than Woods.

The 'Most Disgusting Male' title changing hands so soon leaves me gobsmacked.

NFL Fail

1. ProBowl the week BEFORE Superbowl XLIV?

What?

So not fair for the chosen players from the Colts & the Saints (6 from each team). They either play & risk injury or rest & miss the ProBowl.
Fail!


2. The Who as halftime entertainment of Superbowl XLIV?!

What whaaat??

They're so old & irrelevant, even the ads being shown for their 'halftime spectacular' are videos from 20 years ago!
Fail!

The band should be renamed Who Cares & the game renumbered as Superbowl XDED.

Empire State of Every Five Friggin' Minutes!

Did I miss the new law that states Empire State of Mind MUST be played on LA radio every 5 minutes?
Every time I get in the car, Jay Z & Alicia Keyes are with me - enuf already! ARGH!

Man, I miss Indie 103.1 more than ever!

Tiger is a Lyin' & He's Always Been A Cheeta

So why is Elin the stalked person?

Why?

TigerLyinCheeta has gone to ground like the weasel he is, leaving Elin & his kids to take the tsunami of attention.

Way to man-up TigerLyinCheeta! You need to not only man-up but human-up! A descent person would not let anyone be exposed to this scrutiny if they had the power to stop it. Of course, you gave up that power when you chose to lie & cheat didn't you?

Obviously TigerLyinCheeta is not capable of descent behaviour so I'm calling out the paparazzi on this one - why has TigerLyinCheeta been given a 'Get Out Of The Glare of Public Scorn Free Card'?

Where is he? Palm Beach? New York? Aspen? Africa?

Since he left the hospital there has been sightings but no pics of him, no video, no interviews, no stalking of him while he's on vaykay with his kids.
Oh, that's right, he's not with his kids - Merry Christmas children!

Argh! I digress.

TigerLyinCheeta should be doing the walk of shame, not Elin or their kids or her sister or anyone else from her family.

Paparazzi, you are not doing your job - j'accuse! Leave Elin to her friends & family & make the life of TigerLyinCheeta miserable instead.

et tu IKEA?

We had lunch at IKEA today - what a sad & tragic affair it was.
The meatballs are smaller, I can eat them in one bite now. The gravy is brown water, it used to be really creamy & thick. The potatos are mashed, no choice of little round whole potatos anymore. The coffee is thinner, I think they have halved the amount of coffee per measure of water. Breadroll included with lunch? Nope, now it's 39c thank you. There is no more raw sugar, just refined white crap now. Even the napkins are half the size they used to be....et tu IKEA?
Is there anybody not using this recession to cheapen their products?

Hand Of God Hall Of Fame

The latest addition to the 'Hand of God' Hall of Fame...


Cosmic Hand Reaches for the Light
The Red represents low-energy X-rays, the medium range is green, and the most energetic ones are colored blue. The blue hand-like structure was created by energy emanating from the nebula around they dying star PSR B1509-58. The red areas are from a neighboring gas cloud called RCW 89.

"Hand of God' Hall of Fame Alumni...


God's opinion on bad Photoshopping!




A classic from the '80s that can still cause a drunken riot!
Diego Maradona shamelessly smacks the ball into the net with a handball - and has the cheek to call it the "Hand of God".
The goal was allowed and England has never forgiven or forgotten going out 2-1 to Argentina in the '86 quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup.

Respect Your Elders

So I have been back in Oz where I grew up for about a week & I am quite proud to see how well the elderly are treated & respected here compared to Los Angeles when I now live.

A couple of examples;

1 - I was waiting at the counter of a chemist & an elderly woman was putting the change from her purchase in her purse in front of me. She was slow, doddery & holding up the queue. Instead of talking over the top of her & asking how she could help me, the young girl behind the counter just looked at me & smiled, saying nothing, but quietly waiting for the old woman to move so she could help me.
It didn't take much time out of our day to wait but for me, it is a lesson in respect that will last a lifetime.

In California this scenario would have been different. The girl would have served me while the old lady was still at the counter so as not to keep me waiting. Fair enough, customer is king. I think though, society would be a tad better off & if we just cooled our jets a little.

2 - I was on the Manly Ferry & a couple of hoons were being loud & silly. Harmless teenage stuff but loud none the less. They however had no thought to giving up their seat to a elderly couple when they came on deck & toning down their behaviour immediately. I know this doesn't happen all the time but I can't help thinking it happens way more in Oz than LA....& not just because there is no Manly Ferry in LA!

Well done Australia!

Barack Obama - President for the World

Everyone is rejoicing!

Why?

Well, we're finally getting an adult back into the White House - yay!

Not any adult either but an adult who has far reaching ties to every corner of the globe.

Kenya loves him as his dad was Kenyan.
Indonesia loves him as he lived there for a couple of years.
All Pacific Islands love him as he was born in Hawaii.
The whole continent of Africa (yes, Sarah Palin, it's a continent) loves him because of his black roots.
Latin America loves him just because 'sí, se puede'.
Germany loves him because he campaigned in Berlin.
Obama, Japan loves him & have even started learning the Hula!
The Middle East loves him as he has put an 'Hussein' in the White House.
Australia & the EU love him just because he is not W.
&
Ireland loves him because his name is Obama.

Hey California - Vote NO on Prop 8

I just went out front to see if there were any more trick-or-treaters cruising around & discovered my 'Vote No on Prop 8' sign has been stolen!

Now it could have been a prank of course, but since my next door neighbour's 'vote yes' sign is still solidly in the ground, as are the 3 down the street, I can only surmise it was taken by a goodly, God fearing Christian. A caring soul who believes that everybody has the right to live in a free society & have the freedom of choice....as long as that choice is in accordance with the yes on Prop 8 doctrine.

Or maybe they are just homophobic.

Or both, it's not like those two conditions are incompatible really is it?

Either way, now I have blogged about Prop 8 & will get 2 more yard signs tomorrow so their petty scheme has backfired!

Prop 8 Info

I even found a yard sign for my blog!

The Content of Character V The Colour of Skin

This is what is meant in the black community by the need to be better to be equal....

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class (894 of 899)?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman to whom he said 'I do'?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she was in a disfiguring car accident (and proposed to his current wife while still married to his first)?

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who had been addicted to pain killers and acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain was never addicted to anything and graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama were a member of the Keating Five?

What if the Obama family adopted a caucasian baby?

What if Obama introduced his vice-presidential nominee 'Joe-anne Biden' to the nation less than 2 months ago & what if this was Biden's educational background?
-Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
-North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
-University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
-Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
-University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism

What if this was McCain's vice-presidential nominee Palin's educational background?
-University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
-Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

What if Obama's vice-presidential nominee 'Joe-anne Biden' was a family values advocate but had a pregnant, unwed, 16 year old daughter?

What if Obama's vice-presidential nominee 'Joe-anne Biden' was found guilty of violating ethics laws and abuse of power as governor?

What if Obama had made all the verbal gaffs on the campaign trail?

If this scenario was reality, do you think Obama could be running at all? Of course not! He has to be almost perfect to even have a chance.

America has come a long way in race relations but still has a long way to go before a person is judged by the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.

Learning why they wear helmets...


Priceless!!!! Well, actually, the cost of a new helmet however...

Do as your mothers tell you - WEAR YOUR HELMETS!

You Are Correct - Al Franken

Rush Limbaugh really is an idiot! (or maybe just lazy)

On his radio show this morning he was regurgitating his 'I met Bill Clinton' story & how he met Los Angeles' mayor 'Villagarossa'. That's what he called him every time he said his name!
(FYI - his name is Antonio Villaraigosa)

Head Ditto did say it was difficult to hear & he didn't catch the mayor's name at first but if that were the case & this were you & you were going to speak about it the next morning on your nationally syndicated radio show, wouldn't you find out for sure what the guy's name was instead of mispronouncing it every time you said it!

I notice his staff got it right in the transcript on his website. This is also in the transcript...
'I don't believe in coincidences with the Clintons. I just don't. Of all places he chooses to go to dinner, the Kobe Club the same night I'm there?'

Of course it would make complete sense to this egotist that Bill Clinton would choose to go to this restaurant just because he was there.

I am not a fan of any of these men (however I do believe Bill Clinton has the higher moral ground by far out of the 3 of them) but to not know the name of the LA mayor when you're paid as a political commentator? Well that's just the work of a lazy man....or the work of an idiot.

Happy Birthday Elton

Did Eric McCormack have the best time at Elton John's 60th Birthday Show at MSG or what? ...mmmaybe Matt Lauer, it's a toss up.
Unlike Ozzy Osbourne who was sat in front of a singing-a-lot Rosie O'Donnell - yikes!
Bon Jovi didn't seem to be having any fun at all & the female next to Kid Rock was way too busy with lip gloss for way too much of the concert.

Who was the grumpy old bastard who sat with his arms crossed at the end of Philadelphia Freedom?!
GIT!
Let someone who enjoys have your ticket next time!

Sadly, it was Robin Williams & not Robbie Williams who appeared. I thought for a minute there when they started singing Happy Birthday, a cake would be rolled out & Robbie would jump out of it. After all, he did say he would dance naked for Elton's birthday present - tease!

How great to hear Roy Rogers again. I love that song & haven't heard it for years.
Don't Let The Sun is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Is Clay Aiken playing tambourine? hahahaaaa
I love seeing people with cameras & phones in the crowd.

3 1/2 hrs & still people left not hearing their favourite!
Well done Elton!
You are a living legend!

You Are Correct - Craig Ferguson

This is a brill monologue.
I wish you could watch it here but CBS is not allowing embedded content (not funny, just annoying!)

What Exactly Is Funny?

Bravo Craig!
I love this guy!

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!

This is an article on AEI....
Bush Prefers Masters' Voice to Iraq Study Group by David Wheelock.
Don't know who they are?
After you read the article, you will wonder how you don't know about them.
That so few men wield so much power in this so called democracy is _________!
Can you fill in the blank?
You tell me the adjective to put in there.

Steve Irwin - You Little Beauty!

Thanx Steve for teaching my little Auzzie all about Auzzie wildlife & keeping him safe.

He's growing up on the other side of the big pond & by the time of his 1st visit back home at 15 months of age, he knew not to touch the redback he found in Pop's shed.
He knew the blue tongue in the drain would not chase him & he knew his Grandparents place in the bush was not a scary place but a wonderful place full unusual & fascinating creatures.
A giant learning curve for a little boy from the 'burbs.
All thanx to The Crocodile Hunter.
Steve's autographed pictue has been on his wall for 8 years now. I can't see it coming down any time soon.

Condolences to Terri, Bindi & Bob, as well as his dad, sisters & the family of staff & friends at Australia Zoo - we all feel your loss on this sad, sad day.

If you would like to contribute to the continuation of Steve's work, please check out Wildlife Warriors.

This Week In WTF Ville

Copperfield Was Mugged


   Doherty Was Drugged


Keef's Head Went Fud


   & Tom Talks Crud


According to Tom, "...it's Kate, not Katie. Katie is a child's name. My Kate is a woman, a magnificent woman, a magnificent child-bearing woman. Woooo-hoooo! And I got this magnificent woman pregnant. Can you dig it?"

Yeah? Maybe you think she birthed her brains & her voice box out with that baby eh Tom?
May I remind you that 'child-bearing woman' & 'silent brow-beaten wife' are not synonymous. Can you dig it?


Next week...David Blaine goes glug, glug, glug
