Food for thought... Please discuss..

(I am insanely busy with work this week... So I apologize with the lack of entries. In the meantime- please feel free to openly discuss today's entry.)

At what point do we look at the Middle East, Africa, Former Soviet States, and other like regions of the world and say that enough is enough. Just as with WWII – the United States is enveloped in rhetoric because simply put- the financial interest is simply not there.

China seems to think that an investment in Africa is an investment in taking a front seat as world power number 1. Could they be right? Or in fact, will financial incentive just overshadow the larger problems and make genocide and holocaust acceptable until it becomes personal enough for some 2008 U.S. candidate to make it a campaign worthy platform? Nothing sparks national incentive like "we're becoming second place to someone else.."

When will the world come to terms with the fact that NO ONE wants to see or live this anymore.

Phenomenal morning tunes…

Daily Tirade. 01.23.07

News Headlines and analysis:
And the nominees are in…… Yes folks.. the Oscar Nominations were announced this morning and oh what a glorious travesty it is…

Now for those of you who know me, you know that I minored in film in college with aspirations of maybe doing something with it some day. Although the chances of that happening are as likely as me being tall enough for the kiddie rides at Disneyland… But a guy has to dream big!!!

Getting to the point.. There were some great calls and some ..”Were you slapped so hard at birth it rendered you fat, ugly, and extremely stupid for life” calls in the nominations.

Good:

The nominees for best picture are "The Departed," "Babel," "Letters From Iwo Jima," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Queen."

The nominees for best actor are Forest Whitaker ("The Last King of Scotland"), Leonardo DiCaprio ("Blood Diamond"), Ryan Gosling ("Half Nelson"), Peter O'Toole ("Venus") and Will Smith ("The Pursuit of Happyness").

Bad:

The nominees for best supporting actress are Jennifer Hudson ("Dreamgirls"), Adriana Barraza ("Babel"), Cate Blanchett ("Notes on a Scandal"), Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") and Rinko Kikuchi ("Babel"). Where’s Jaden Smith in this one???

The nominees for best picture are "The Departed," "Babel," "Letters From Iwo Jima," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Queen." Where are my bowel movements nomination??? Because that’s about how entertaining the “The Queen” was for the viewing audience.

CNN debunks false report about Obama

Imagine that.. The Christian Right.. I mean… U.S. political system is already picking on the black candidate with a funny name, and accusing him of muslim radicalism.. I bet you $1, CNN had to ask Obama how to spell “debunk.”

Bush faces tough crowd for State of Union speech

Hilary Clinton was said to have sent a gift basket to G.W. with a note saying.. “With full compliments of the Democratic Party – please enjoy the assortment of extra large and extra dry pretzels.”

Al Qaeda No. 2 mocks U.S. in new video

Seriously? This is news worthy? What could he possibly have said?
“Ha, ha… you have to mock Jews, women, and minorities with ambiguous political rhetoric, while we can stone our wives to death for showing their ankles!!!”

Personal:

Things are starting to settle into a rhythm for me and I find that I will probably be able to dedicate at least 3-4 entries a week. I apologize for leaving things so open ended for long, but I will do my best to keep posting with greater frequency.

However, in my absence if you dedicated and diligent workers (“I nearly pissed myself writing that – since I know you slouches all read this shit at work! And no, it’s not a contradiction in terms that I write this while at work – because I rule and you WILL suffer my ridicule.” ) need something to read.. please check out the following quality blogs… These each have their own flavor and cater to all sorts of interests:

The Adventures of a T-Shirt Guy!
Slack Lalane- One funny site!

Darkhorizons
Matthew Good
Dawn Unplugged

Various news worthy items...

In the midst of announcing their recent bids for candidacy of the President of the United States of America... Jubilation was suddenly brouht to a holt when both Obama and Clinton learned of the extensive anal probing that needed to commence before actually commiting to, and being allowed to compete in the candidacy race. The facial expression say it all...



Does this look like the face of a broken man who just lost the AFC Championship Game? Hell no! And why? Because the immediate afterthoughts were:
A) I'm filthy stinking rich!
B) I will now proceed to go home and have wild monkey primal dirty sex with my super hot girlfriend!
C) A Mixture of A and B and a little bit of "Matt Damon."



Hummer brings $1.25 million for charity It goes without saying..But that better have been the best blow job known to man!!!

I'm not sure what makes Mike Vick more of an idiot...

A) The fact that he was caught with a "secret compartment" water bottle that STUNK of weed...

Or: B) The fact that a man who signed a 10 year $130 million dollar contract is flying AIRTRAN!

I guess times really are tough for everyone... Even mutli million dollar athletes.

I want one...........
