People Who Shouldn't Be Allowed To Vote




James Harrison - Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and Super Bowl MVP, Harrison recently checked his infant son out of the hospital because he was bitten in the face by the family pit bull. Here's the deal, getting a pit bull is stupid in general but when you get one when you have a infant you should no longer be allowed to vote.

People who own snakes - The only reason to own a snake is to watch it eat. So basically you are investing hundreds of dollars in order to watch a giant snake eat harmless rodents and critters? Has a hot girl ever told her friends, "Yeah Jason is a great guy and he owns a pet snake!" Sexual innuendos aside, the answer is no. People who get off on watching mice die should not be allowed to vote.

Congress* - While shopping at Costco yesterday I saw a 24 pack of bottled, old fashioned Coke. Needless to say I pounced on that faster than Tony LaRussa seeing a new pair of blue blockers. In case you didn't know, Coke and Pepsi were forced to switch from sugar to high fructose corn syrup because Congress passed regulations on the amount of imported sugar. So while the rest of the world drinks sweet delicious sugar coke we are getting shafted with corn. No sugar, no vote.

Whoever decided that we need to hold the shift key to use a ? - Seriously? I can't remember the last time I used /, to mention the other five or so keys that get special treatment. On that note, why the hell is ! above the number 1 key? How we haven't updated the keyboard over the last 25 years is really a pathetic failure of the human race.

*Ron Paul excluded because he agrees with me.

I have a problem with being required to hold down the shift key to use it. Seriously who thought that was a good idea?

The keyboard hasn't been updated because the amount of work going into updating the keyboard isn't worth the slim marginal return. Also, depending on the success of Pepsi Throwback (and Mountain Dew Throwback), I wouldn't be surprised if Coke introduces an equivalent, given that it already exists in the form of "Passover Coke"

I have never understood why people think pit bulls are cool. And its not just toothless hillbillies and NFL players either. Otherwise rational people seem to have an infatuation with them. Why is this?

Oh, and did anyone else notice the irony in Tom putting that Lao Tzu quote up on his BLOG??

M said...

I do quote of the day.

Bashing high fructose corn syrup Tom? How dare you. It's approved by the FDA, much cheaper and has a longer shelf life than sugar. I have nothing more to say to you, although I could go on. Shame shame shame on you.

I have a few friends w/ pit bulls and apparently they're just as nice as other dogs when they aren't abused and starved their whole lives. If that's true then why not get a pit bull? Bulldogs are recognized as valid pets, and they generate more biting force than any other dog.
