APRIL 2010 Random Thread

The Tea Party Express rally on Tuesday only drew a reported 1,500 people here, although an eye witness told me they were lucky if they actually had 400 people there. They were expecting 3-4,000, so that pretty much failed.
The one today that I'm going to check out if it doesn't storm here features the Governor and a couple other GOP State office holders. The truly zealous tea baggers are upset that the dominant political party of the state are usurping their tax day protest.

I'm wearing my "Vote for Health Reform" tee today, since I live a block from the Capitol building and there are all sorts of Tea bagger events today.

Early predictions are the one here in Atlanta today is going to be their biggest protest yet.

I'm tempted to go down there to see it first hand how fail they are. Also, throw out some comments to people like "STRING HIM UP!" and see if I get support.

Funny stuff here.

The tea bagger protest was a whole lot of nothing, and it is about ready to rain.
There were maybe 250 middle age and older there just standing there listening to patriotic music and a few standard rah rah conservative speeches. No offensive signs, No minorities, nothing remotely exciting.

yeah, sarah palin was here yesterday and there was a tea party rally on boston common. i don't think anything major happened but this kind of annoyed me.

Quote:

A counterdemonstrator carrying a sign that read, "Dump Palin in the harbor," was surrounded by a group of Tea Party supporters and asked to leave. He complied.

One of the Tea Partiers walked away, saying, "See that? How's that for coercion?"

John Killion, a US Postal Service worker from South Boston, one of the other Tea Partiers in the group, said he thought the counterdemonstrator "was in pretty poor taste. Their space is never invaded."

"The best policy is just to surround him, smoke him out, and don't say anything," said Killion, referring to a fellow Tea Partier who had been blowing smoke in the counterdemonstrator's face.

"I'm not down to fuck, but I like to fuck girls," Roethlisberger replied, according to a police report.

572 pages of Ben Roethlisberger police report. Enjoy.

I need to go take a shower.

(Also: Falcons fans, does this make Big Ben worse than Vick? Be honest, now. & it will be funny when, come September, Ben's God knows where (Oakland? Buffalo? KC??), & Vick's starting in Pennsylvania... But not where you'd think.)

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to "tip over and capsize" due to overpopulation.

Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday.

Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy's Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."

Willard paused and said: "We don't anticipate that."

I think there are 2 lessons I have learned from noir type and crime films:

1. Whenever you're down on your luck, they come to you and make an offer, you really shouldn't take it. Just be a broke dick shnook.

2. Wealthy pron producers ONLY come to you with weird offers when they want a snuff film made.

I think the trailer for Human Centipede is all you really need to see anyway.

Just to get this diagram:

Well, among other things.

And the reasons for this? Portions have gotten bigger, gap between rich and poor has increased as have the number of TV channels, computers/internet and video games.

I know this is kinda heavy but... if you are or know someone who you think might be in a dangerous relationship, this a good online test to take. This was recently shown on Oprah, so the site can be slow at times, which I attribute to viewers checking out the site.

In regards to "Record Store Day" whatever the correct name is tomorrow with their special release bullshit...
Unless you're making radio station singles circa 1960, stop producing 7"*.
I fucking hate getting off my ass every five minutes to listen to another mediocre song.

*45's are not 7" but still as annoying.
