We need to submit this to fail blog

this is a sad, morbid, massive, FAIL. a guy in Mesa tried to kill himself by attaching a sword to the steering wheel. then he would crash the car into his neighbors house, and the sword would stab his chest. right ? Well he forgot the airbag. Which saved his life, and now he is being charged with all kinds of crimes.

South Africa

One of my favorite things to blog about is a response to people who complain about America without perspective to the rest of the world. For those who think women get treated poorly here, consider China, where you don't get to choose the number of kids you have. Saudi Arabia, where you can't show your face or drive a car. Or South Africa, where 3 out of 4 men ADMIT to having raped a woman. http://jonathanturley.org/2009/06/19/report-three-out-of-four-south-african-men-have-raped-someone/

CSC needs to come back. THE WORLD NEEDS CSC!!!

There is a cat killer in Miami. Seriously, that makes you like the worst person in the world.

Get him Dexter! Even Rita wouldn't mind that.

Season 4 starts on 9/27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I'm kind of sad they renewed a fifth season. I think they should wrap up all loose ends in season 4, and leave us with a Basic Instinct type ending.

Read a book!

the new hot video. it plays on BET all the time. it tells people to do things that are good for their lives: read books, buy real estate, drink water, stay out of trouble. of course, news commentators and community activists are up in arms about it. and would prefer songs that tell you to pimp hos, sell drugs, kill people, and drop it like its hot .

Step aside Craig Sager. There's a new contender in town.

wow, Hockey Coach Don Cherry is really giving Sager's closet a run for its money.

Funny paragraph from ESPN

thoughts from gregg easterbrook

"Being self-employed, I must pay quarterly estimated taxes, and self-employment taxes for the fourth quarter of 2008 were due mid-January. I borrowed from my bank, the Bank of America, to make the tax payment. Last week Bank of America, which had already received a $25 billion federal gift, was given another $20 billion in federal subsidies to cover losses caused by poor decisions by its top managers, all of whom have kept their ritzy jobs and high salaries. So: First the federal government borrowed money, probably from China; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America."

yes we can!
