Burger King + Star Wars

My son is all about the Burger King toys right now. The force is strong in this one. I don’t think they sell collector glasses anymore because they all break on the boat from China. And nobody here knows how to make them.

Sometimes it’s good

The healer guy….not really sick

The good news is that Michael Guglielmucci, the guy who had cancer and wrote “Healer,” is not sick. The bad news is, he never was sick. It’s not a miracle. He’s a fake. I don’t understand people who fake cancer. One, it’s a terrible thing to do in light of the fact that there are [...]

Apparently the real singer wasn’t cute enough for Communist sensibilities. First my childhood is crushed with the discovery that Kung-Fu movies are fake…now this. And it’s required some hasty backtracking since I’d [...]

Ze Machines, Defeilus

Internet a distraction? Try this. It blocks your internet connection for up to 3 hours…giving you time to catch up on life. But what if it never comes back on? And you can’t google to find out the fix?!?!?

Russia fighting for oil

Wanna know why Russia is attacking Georgia? Pipelines. Primarily the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline and the Baku-Supsa Pipeline. Russia is setting itself up as the prime controller of Europe’s oil, and those Georgia pipelines are a problem. Go ahead, check out the map. It’s pretty obvious. Wait until the world is watching the Olympics. Bomb the snot [...]
