The World According to Me.

Seriously, thanks for this Mike!! ===== When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning....Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways… yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! There was no email!! We had to actually write...

Latest CNN poll says: Should U.S. troops have fast food and first-run movies on overseas bases? Are we kidding, this is what we want to know about? Even sadder is that 90+ % of responders answered YES. Aren't there more important things we can do for troops that have McDonalds and NetFlix? I'm thinking, oh, armor, weapons, ammo, internet connections/phones to chat with family. Not feeling like fast-food and movies are it. I don't know, maybe things are different in the world and the Military is now a frat.....

Judge: School violated lesbian's rights, but prom cancellation valid - CNN.com Thank you Judge. Sorry you can't force a high school to have a prom. And this young lady should look at what her personal choice has done to an entire school. In the modern day though each individual somehow feels their rights trump everyone else. To attempt to claim, as the ACLU did, that the school somehow must provide a prom for lesbians is insane. My question would be for this woman's partner would be "do you usually dress like a boy at school?" I'm betting not. I'm betting it was a 'show' for the prom. Glad the school board called the shots. I don't really care about peoples opinions on what 'should be' considered the norm, as I don't agree.

Arrest Made in N.J. Walmart 'All Black People' Case Excuse me but arrested for what? He exercised freedom of speech. Unless he yelled "fire" or insight panic and fear in mass, all he did was act like an @ss. The only thing necessary was a store apology, which was done. And of course not letting this goon anywhere near the place again. That said, again, arrested FOR WHAT? Is this our goal now, we "arrest" everyone that does something we deem dumb? If so, you thought jails were full before..wait until now.

FOXNews.com - Chefs Call Proposed New York Salt Ban; Are the people that wrote this bill aware of how often salt is used in food preparation for flavor and taste? Salt, in moderate form as most use it has zero effect on health and even if it didn't, it isn't the governments job to tell you what you can or can't eat. New York, get on the ball here.

Carroll County Times: Westminster, Maryland : "Following are Springfield Hospital Center’s patient demographics: I was reading an article in the paper today that sounded very NIMBY (to quote G. Carlin) "Not in my back yard" about a mental health hospital for the criminally insane. When I got to the bottom and read the numbers, I'm wondering who are the insane ones here. My state is apparently spending $160,000.00 a year on each individual housed with no hope of rehabilitation, simply to house them. Um, I'm sorry but this is our best approach? Spending what Obama would nearly call "the richest %" wage on individuals that have no hope whatsoever of rejoining and being productive in society. How is this an efficient use of taxpayer money? It isn't. Now I don't necessarily mind sounding like the non-compassionate one here, this is literally insane. In case you can't do math, that is over $46,000,000 (yeah, 46 million) a year for these 290 peop...

NFL star Roethlisberger accused of sexual assault - CNN.com So when exactly do you realize as an owner of a NFL team that your QB is seriously in need of some control? Maybe if he wasn't hanging around night clubs at 2 in the morning with whores that are drunk, he wouldn't find himself with these issues. While I will not say Big Ben has done anything, innocent till proven guilty, but come on..stop hanging around clubs at night. Why is it so hard to comprehend that you are RICH, have the party at your place with non sluts.

r Raising Tobacco Taxes Congress and Legislatures around the USA, lets try to learn from history. Do not tie your tax survival on a product that people may or may not use with regularity. As states saw and DOT saw with the gas crisis, taxing a commodity that can fluctuate is not smart. In 2008-2009 when drivers cut back on miles driven the gas tax dropped tremendously and all of the sudden there were gaps and debts. Why, because the tax was tied directly to something that is far from concrete. This is the exact same event as a tobacco tax. This tax is already insanely high, to the point it should almost be called an 'internal tariff'. There is a very clear, and very simple way to close budget gaps. FLAT TAX or Federal purchasing tax. Stop thinking about involved and confusing ways of taxing citizens. Simply have one Federal Government flat tax rate on everything that is purchased, aside from food. Revenues would overflow and gaps in states would be gone as there would be more t...

Honestly, who gives a crap about this? Remove his name from this story and let me know if you stop the air waves to hear about this: DETROIT, Michigan - Last night Mr. Jones wrecked his Cadillac in a tree 20 feet from his driveway. The Police investigating the accident could not get an immediate response from Mr. Jones but did speak with his wife who said it was simply an 'accident'. (Update 1) DETROIT, Michigan - Mr. Jones, involved in last weeks accident, has been rumored to have been having an affair and it was the recognition of this affair that allegedly caused his wife to chase him a golf club, causing his crash. (Update 2) DETROIT, Michigan - Mr. Jones has made a statement today stating that he was at fault for his accident and there was no domestic violence issue. (Update 3) DETROIT, Michigan - Mr. Jones, involved in last months accident, has allegedly had multiple affairs over the last three years. The affairs range from the average woman all the way up to 'porn st...

Cafferty File: Tell Jack how you really feel Blog Archive - Why doesn't Palin want news media to cover some of her speeches? � - Blogs from CNN.com Gee I wonder why, because the liberal media types are a bunch of clowns that chose a communist organizer over a Governor as a person with clout. Then made fun of her, gee can't imagine why she doesn't want you sleaze balls there.

Taliban's Top Military Commander Captured - Afghanistan | Map | War - FOXNews.com Thank GOD.

Activist boards Japanese whaling ship - CNN.com These Japanese sailors should shoot your dumb @ss. Why don't you stop harassing workers and go find something to do with your life. Who provides the funds for these ops anyway?

Judge Finds Grounds to Sanction Arizona Sheriff's Office I can't back Sheriff Joe more. Please, please, show me the record of overturned convictions in his county through the use of profiling. The man is doing his job. The man is elected by the people of his county, not appointed as this judge is or as council members are. He is doing his job, if that breaks your PC liberal heart, so be it. I wish we had more men like him.

Taliban Sniper Teams Attack U.S., Afghan Troops - Afghanistan | Map | War - FOXNews.com America needs to be ready, ready for casualties and civilian loses. For too long we (we being those confused souls in the USA) have viewed war as something where only the other guy dies. That just isn't true. When you are attempting to sweep a town the safest way to do it is artillery and air power, the most dangerous way is boots on the ground. However, leaders fear that too many casualties of civilians will cause a PR problem, if we wanted to save the lives of our soldiers we would not be overwhelmingly concerned with that. Sniper teams are intense and very hard to remove, just ask the Germans in Stalingrad how annoying and victorious sniper teams can make a force. While I don't wish for civilian loss of life, I want our troops as safe as can be and victory on our side.

What’s wrong with America in 2010, start with 1940? America, the once spectacular land of the free and home of the brave, finds herself in a predicament. In an effort to make every citizens “pursuit of happiness” a reality, she lost her way. Generations Ago America in the last twenty years, starting roughly around the late 80’s, decided times were simply too tough. Coming out of the 1970s with revolutions around the world, embargos, oil shortages, domestic issues, wars and general global conflict America entered the 1980’s hoping for something better, that wasn’t to happen quickly. Entering the eighties America found herself in dire need of drive and revenue. The seventies brought social programs at home and wars beyond our borders. America was brought down a notch globally when a couple of college kids helped by a few hundred radicals took over an American embassy, something that had been unthinkable in the past. And the following failed rescue attempts and hostage holdouts with a l...

This is truly a girl who knows nothing about what the Tea Parties are about. She is an embarrassment to her generation and youth around the world with her political commentary. She shouldn't assume that because her father is a career politician that she somehow knows more than others when it comes to politics. She also seems to view herself as 'elite' in her knowledge. If she ever had an independent thought, I'd be shocked. I would like to ask Megan if she has ever actually attended a Tea Party event or talked to people who have. She'd come to find that a large percentage of those involved are 30 or younger, not 60 and older as she pretends to claim. It is really sad to see individuals used as pawns like this. A wise person once told me; new generations must repeat the mistakes of the old because no matter how clearly you are taught, people thrive on personal experience and personal loss. This is apparently true for my generation and the following. I remember my da...

Hoping for Change in Toyota Pres. Obama asked the Automobile industry to act faster in safety recalls. And said there would be some level of investigation and that their brands are at stake. Remember the free market, where consumers simply made these choices without words "from on high". Think back to the 1960's and the book "Unsafe at Any Speed" by Ralph Nader. The government doesn't need to get involved unless a suit is drawn against the manufacturer, until that occurs there is no branch of government for Automobile Oversight and Compliance. There is NHTSA, and they are the ones that drive home the recalls on the auto industry. Obama needs to stick to being Commander and Chief, not CEO of business. Obama Nader

No that isn't a new concept, it actually was something the Nazis were close to doing in 1944. That's right, 66 years ago. This is a solid reason for why America must, must, lead in innovation. Nazis

Please don't The Government now once you to not bash Toyota in the media because it could hurt jobs, forget the fact that you could die in the car. What the hell is going on here? The government needs to get back in the job of governing and out of the job of running businesses. How dare you ask your media to not report problems because you feel they hurt the economy, this isn't Communism and this isn't Venezuela!

For the third time in less than 60 days there has been a significant (10" or better) snow event in the Mid-Atlantic. This has a lot of folks saying "yeah, global warming is garbage". Well, not necessarily. Storms and weather events in general are caused by many things but some of the higher contributors are jet streams (winds) and currents (water tides). These two components are constantly changing and modifying but some of this transition could, could, be the result of global warming. The idea here would be that as ice melts it produces water (yeah, I know you know) and this water is generally pure or lacking salinity. Now, push thousands of gallons of fresh water into a salt water body and what do you get, a change in current pattern. Why you ask, well the answer is relatively easy. You can do an experiment for yourself with water temperature. Get a gallon of ice cold water, put a thermometer in it, now add a couple cups of salt, you'll see the temp drop even lower...
