In the news.... A real life weekend at Bernies.... A couple of guys went for a night on the town while lugging around their dead companion, using his credit card and atm card to have a wild night....

Secondly, I have always had issues with Spongebob Squarepants. Something is seriously wrong with that show, and I never let me kids watch it. Beyond the interesting choices of names (bikini bottom for one), and the interesting characteristics and behavior of the characters, I can't help but feel it has some hidden dark messages trying to corrupt us and our kids.... Well it seems I wasn't paranoid. A recent study proved Spongebob Squarepants makes kids dumb. Really, truly. Read more for yourself at http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MED_SPONGEBOB_STUDY?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Of course Nickelodeon disputed the results and the veracity of the study. This of course from a network that prides itself on educational and child development programming. Honestly the only thing I remember from Nickelodeon when I was a kid was when they slimed people.

Uh Oh... and we thought terminator was a fictional movie.

Folks, Skynet is real and it is growing.... Watch out.... It wants to use your computer to expand its network and power....

Recently, the Children's Museum of Oakland decided to pull an exhibit entitled "A Child's view from Gaza". To see some of the samples of the works, please visit "http://on.fb.me/pPz9J4"

As you can obviously see, there is nothing objectionable about the works. Except if you are an ardent zionist bent on revising the truth and history about Palestine and the plight of Gaza amidst the Israeli blockade. As far as those Zionists are concerned, Gaza is a prison for terrorists who are illegally squatting on zionist land, and for that reason are not entitled to food, medicine, etc. So, the exhibit did not comport with their spin on truth and history, and needed to be pulled.

Would they have pulled an exhibit featuring African Americans if the KKK had objected? Would they have pulled an exhibit featuring Jews if Nazis had objected? I don't think so.

If you are as puzzled or outraged as I am, ask the museum why.... Visit http://www.freepalestinemovement.org/mocha.html

A panel has recently reviewed the costs of the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and surprise surprise, much of the money has been defrauded or wasted. Read more at:

$60 billion dollars wasted.

Its alot of money.

Begs the question of who benefits when we go to war?

Hmmm....
Lets see
Halliburton (Dick Cheney)
Bechtel (Donald Rumsfield)
Blackwater (click here or here)and others....

And what makes it even worse is that the contracts are not even bid out. Yes thats right, they are just strictly assigned on a discretionary basis. To the best candidates of course. No question about that one. Right?..

Did you know that Halliburton moved its headquarters to Dubai?
A company that makes billions upon billions of tax payer money for much sensitive government work. Moved out. Took their jobs out. Took themselves outside the scope of review. Don't want to pay taxes...

Hmmm....
A lot to think about.

Did you all see the Lions rip apart the Patriots last week? I am happy to say I was there in person. Lots of potential this year. Of course, the last time we went 4-0 in the preseason, we went 0-16, so lets not jinx ourselves. At least we are past the Matt Millen era. The guy was a good football player and a good football man, but a lousy team GM. Fortunately for him and unfortunately for ESPN, he is now an analyst on their network. He put his foot in his mouth once again like the good old days....



Its too bad the quarterback he mentioned goes to LSU, not Miami.

Here's to a great year for the Lions. Lets hope Stafford stays in one piece and we get to experience the best of Suh, Fairley and Company....
