If You Believe That...

I've got a bridge I would like to sell you...

From the WTF files: The genius Governor of New York, David "Talk Into My Good Eye" Paterson has proposed the brilliant idea to sell off public roads, bridges and tunnels to close a massive budget deficit.

ALBANY - Warning of an approaching economic calamity, Gov. Paterson yesterday called an emergency session of the state Legislature - and raised the specter that New York may have to sell off roads, bridges and tunnels to close a massive budget deficit...the governor's five-minute speech offered few specific solutions to a three-year budget deficit.

The gap has ballooned to $26.2 billion from $21.5 billion - a whopping 22 percent increase - in just 90 days. Next year alone, the state expects to face a budget deficit of $6.4 billion, up from a projection in March of $5 billion.

Way to keep your "eye on the ball" there Gov! Can you honestly "look me in the eye" and tell me this is the solution you and your team came up with?

Is Sheriff Joe Moonlighting For This Texas School District?

Do you think this will work? Based on little Jordan's comment below, it will start to become cool to be in the jumpsuit.

GONZALES, Texas. - A school in Texas will force students who don't follow the rules to wear prison-like jumpsuits in a controversial move this coming school year. Gonzales High School has new navy blue jumpsuits that students will wear if they break the dress code. Violators will be forced to wear the jumpsuit for the day, the report said.

A school board official said it's "worth a try" because it's a way to keep the district's conservative values intact.

Some students said the plan may backfire on the school. "I talked to some of my friends about it and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jumpsuit," high school student Jordan Meredith.

Wussy Wednesday Posting

The Biggest Convention In San Diego...EVER

A Pile Of Laundry...

On top of another pile of laundry:

A 44 year old women gave birth to her 18th child in Canada this month. That’s right, 18! If you are wondering what that looked like let me simulate by pushing this uncooked Cornish Game Hen through these grey drapes.

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Alexandru Ionce and his wife never planned to have 18 children in 23 years but when they welcomed little Abigail Ionce into the world, that's just what happened.
Alexandru Ionce does not know if the couple will be having more children.
"We never planned how many children to have," he said. "We just let God guide our lives, you know, because we strongly believe life comes from God and that's the reason we did not stop the life.

A lesson for all you younger readers out there, if you let God into your lives make sure SOMEONE is wearing protection!

Wal-Mart Twins

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

The Wal-Mart greeter said pleasantly, "Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't twins, the oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"

"I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am," replied the greeter. "I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day, and thank you for shopping at Wal Mart!"

Thanks Karla!

Motivation Friday

Sad news today out of Pittsburgh about an amazing professor who was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer in September 2006 died this morning.

.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book, died Friday. He was 47.

.

"The lecture was for my kids, but if others are finding value in it, that is wonderful," Pausch wrote on his Web site. "But rest assured; I'm hardly unique." The book "The Last Lecture" leaped to the top of the nonfiction best-seller lists after its publication in April and remains there this week. Pausch said he dictated the book to Zaslow by cell phone, and Zaslow recalled Friday that he was "strong and funny" during their collaboration.

"It was the most fun 53 days of my life because it was like a performance," Zaslow told The Associated Press. "It was like getting 53 extra lectures." He recalled that Pausch became emotional when they worked on the last chapter, though, because that to him was the "end of the lecture, the book, his life." Full story here.

.

If you haven't seen the lecture, do yourself a favor and take 10 minutes to watch this. Share with your family and friends. (Don't let Oprah throw you, watch it.)

Something Different

I found these guys this morning in iTunes and downloaded four songs that I really like. I am always looking for a different sound or something creative with unique lyrics. Couldn't find an official video from the band but here's a taste from a fan on YouTube. The original video is no longer available so here's another one with The Simpsons.

May not be SFW = language

Another unique band that I've loved for years is No More Kings. The whole album is good and I am waiting for another release from them. Great mini-movie, tribute to the Karate Kid and the whole 80's:

We have a 70 pound Redbone Coonhound and she is a handful and we love her. I could only imagine having to pick up after a one of these beasts! The owner of the Chinese restaurant down the street wanted to know if he could find out where any of these guys lived.

Amazing Test

Some of these are pretty long and make you jump through hoops to get the answer after you go through the whole thing. I found this "Cool Person Test" that only takes a few minutes and is amazingly accurate.

It's just for fun but click on Fonzie below and check it out. It should not take you more than 3 minutes and when you are done post your score in the comments section. Let's see who is the coolest Slayer out there!

That Had To Be One Hell Of A Swim!

HONOLULU ~ Federal officials said they netted 43 illegal aliens in an immigration raid on O`ahu. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Officers executed search warrants over the weekend at the Oasis Apartments complex in Waipahu.

Agents said the aliens were employed by a company called The Farms which does agricultural work. The 43 men were all citizens of Mexico.
