People Who Shouldn't Be Allowed To Vote
Rihanna - Word on the street is that she is taking back Chris Brown. My god did you see what he did to your face? If someone beats you to an inch of your life and you still don't dump them, then clearly you are suffering from some debilitating disease, thus no vote.
People who are pulled from rivers or creeks - First of all I would object to saving these morons in the first place. Who the hell gets randomly tossed into a river. The only exception to jump in a raging river is to save your dog. Back to my original point, if you are saved from such a predicament then you should immediately do two things: pay the city for your rescue and turn in your voter card.
Fashion designers/executives - What is the issue with making a size 31 jean? You have no problem going from 32 to 33 to 34 to 35... but apparently the engineering behind a size 31 jean is on par with creating cold fusion.
Jimmy Buffet fans (Parrot Heads) - Look, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Margaritville are catchy songs. But for a culture and fan base to form around some crappy, catchy songs is unfathomable. As I have mention in previous entries, being a lemming is a one way ticket to novoteville. Also check this NSFW short making fun of Jimmy Buffet and other "yacht rock".
ACORN - ACORN was last in the news during the 2008 campaign when it was revealed that they were registering people multiple times. The mainstream media laughed it off and just said the perpetrators were over zealous staff workers. But now ACORN has reached an evener lower low. Members of ACORN are now squatting in foreclosed and seized homes. Their argument is that these are people who are paying their bills (which they aren't) and that banks should wait until Obama's mortgage plan is announced. The head of ACORN New York in an interview with Fox Business said "I wish we could force banks to do our will." (click link for video) Anyone associated with ACORN should either give up their right to vote or move to Canada.
The Haney Project: Meltdown in Atlanta
It's about time that someone devoted a show to the Haney's out there. Although, I think that they accidently wrote Atlanta, when they meant to write Kildeer (jk jk lol cats).
So, I don't really have much to say today, but I'm hung over b/c I drank last night (which is something I rarely do anymore), so I'd thought I'd write about something from my childhood/family/slash. If this is written weirdly, it's just b/c I don't really care right now.
-Growing up, we used to go on family trips in our van ALL THE TIME. Disney World, Disney Land, Yosemite National Park, Rhode Island, New York, Mexico, Montreal. You name it, we drove there. In fact, I've driven through every single state in the continental USA, and parts of Mexico and Canada. Anyway, one of the things I remember most about these trips was all the delicious fast food we would eat (most notably McDonald's). Now you see where my obsession with fast food comes from. It's actually a wonder that we never won the Monopoly game considering how many pieces we would accumulate. Anyway, whenever we would go into a fast food restaurant to eat, my dad would bring in his little 'Playmate' cooler with him that was stocked full of cans of pop. Because of this, we were rarely allowed to order a drink wherever we were, b/c we were forced to drink the pop from the cooler ( to save $). Imagine being 8 years old and going into McDonald's with your own cans of pop. Needless to say (yet I'm still saying it; totally going against my previous 'needless to say' statement), this was utterly embarrassing for me. Also, although you are not allowed to bring a cooler into an actual sit down restaurant (like Denny's for example), we were never (and I mean NEVER) allowed to order orange juice for breakfast. Mainly b/c the cost of it and you don't get free refills. I sometimes laugh at the thoughts of the waitress me asking what I'd have to drink and me looking at my Dad for approval for the OJ, only to be denied. Then when the waitress would leave my Mom would tell me that it was OK for me to get the orange juice, when we all knew this wasn't the case.
K, that's all I got for now. I'm gonna go and maybe get some food now. And for those of you in my fantasy bball league, I just dropped Rodney Stuckey from my team. Feel free to pick him up, b/c he sucks ass ball face.
Also, Tom and I will obviously be starting another bracket pool for the NCAA tournament and all of you are welcome to participate. It will just be on ESPN or Yahoo.Sports probably, so looks for updates on that.
Later Kimosabes, <-- (you like that Steve?)

4 Thumbs Up, 4 Thumbs Down
4 Thumbs Up to Nike: The following commercial is some of the best work they have ever done.
4 Thumbs Down to Barney Frank: In case you missed it, Barney Frank wrote a letter to Northern Trust demanding that they repay the federal government back money they lavishly spent on their recent PGA tournament. Here is the deal Barney, Northern Trust, unlike pretty much every other bank, is actually doing quite well. They deal with the comically wealthy and don't even give out credit cards because they see them as too risky. They took the TARP money because you made them take it, I guess in the same way that banks made people take loans they didn't want. But I digress, Northern Trust signed a 5 year sponsorship deal with the PGA over a year ago. The hotels and music groups they booked don't have the same refund and cancellation policies that a dollar store does. So please Barney, go back home and reapply your head to your ass.
4 Thumbs Up to Mel Gibson: First of all anyone who calls a female cop "sugar tits" is alright by me but Mel out does himself with this short on Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, and did I mention his bad-ass facial hair? Gene the bar has been raised.
4 Thumbs Down to Microsoft: This is completely random but how did Microsoft fumble windows media player? You have a program that is already on every computer in America. You have millions of teenage boys using it everyday yet you get absolutely crushed by iTunes. Come on Microsoft you are better than that.
