The New Tax of the Future?

Alabama is finally doing something to motivate state workers to get their asses off of the seat... literally.

Alabama has issued a warning letting it's state department workers that they better lose their extra weight, or they are going to be paying an additional $25 (What??).  I mean if critics are calling this the 'fat tax' why the hell aren't they taxing more?  I mean governments and taxes never start anywhere near the $25 mark.

And let's get one thing straight.  Not all obese are charged the $25.  Only those that don't take the free and complimentary screening to see how their body mass, fat index and all those things are faring.

With Alabama having the third or fourth most obese state in all of the US, don't we think it's about time to motivate people to get their act together?  

I say that people should be charged if they aren't making an effort to lose the weight.  Not for having the extra weight.

And on that note, why the hell shouldn't non smokers be charged less.  It's a known fact that smoking causes a crap load of health issues.  Many of which will not afflict the non smoker.  So cut them some slack and reward them for not getting addicted to smoking.  (Although I'm sure the majority are addicted to something in this day and age.)

The most searched on Google...

I found this little tidbit of information intriguing, especially because we are supposed to be getting smarter as a race.

Unfortunately, I fear that as we are given more tools, our brains are being used less.  Why do I ask this?  

Because the number 1 searched item on google, is google itself.  

When did we become so stupid, that we have to google google to find google.  I mean haven't we googled enough to know how to get to google without googling it?

The BITCH is rubbing off....

And she loves it.  Read it here.  Right at the bottom.  Look for the one signed Kathleen.

Why you ask?  Because people are actually starting to think like human beings, and not run around like chickens with their heads cut off, blindly following the freaks of nature that seem to be chosen to run our country.

When reality TV is the mainstay of American (and Canadian) 's lives, can we really expect us to question the people in charge?  And this young lass has it right.  

Read it and weep.  (Or maybe have some fun and do it yourself.  I'm sure it will make you feel so much better...)

"Stop Using Our Song"?

It seems that no one really wants John McCain using their song.  And what does that tell us about this contender to run the American's future?  

And it seems that Madonna has been using McCain's image next to war, starvation and destruction in her Sticky& Sweet tour, as well as just recently Banning Sarah Palin from attending 'her party'.  

Along with Madonna, The Foo Fighters and Jackson Browne have spoken with McCain and his crew about not using their songs.  Although these band's may have their intergrity to think about, McCain has the sponsors with deep pockets and bought the rights to use the songs.  So really - I think that they are out of luck.

On the other side of the coin though - Barack Obama has been asked to stop using 'Soul Man' by it's creator, so no one is safe in this world it seems!

The Verdict?

Whoever wins this election is ultimately going to lose everything in an America that is swirling the toilet bowl drain faster with each day.  Wall street is collapsing, the housing market is already down the drain, hanging on for dear life, and American's are leaving as fast as their money will take them.  That is if they have any left.

America that has been running the world, is soon going to be asked if they can run their own damn country.  So the best of luck to whoever wins, because it's going to be a rocky ride.

OJ Simpson - Guilty at Last??

Okay, 13 years ago, people were suffering withdrawal after the case finally finished and amazingly OJ Simpson was found Not-Guilty.  The only explanation for this, is very nicely summed up by Good Charlotte, when they state "There's no such thing as 25 - life, as long as you got the money, to pay for Cochrane."

Well I guess OJ wasn't able to afford Cochrane, or anyone who could defend him this time, as he is finally going to jail, for what could be a life sentence.  (Though no one is paying any attention.  Old news right?)

Why might he actually go to jail at 61 year of age?  For robbing two sports memorabilia dealers in Vegas.  At gunpoint.  No, not one person died.

But he's finally going to jail, and it rates for a small little ditty on the local news, and that is it. 

Does anyone else find that this is a little tiresome?  Maybe if he would have seduced the media a bit more, he could have girls falling in love with him all over again, and instead of spending time in prison waiting on appeals, he would be out on the streets again.

Or maybe he should have saved some money for Cochrane.

Coon Cheese - Next to face the Racist beheading block?

Okay, I know that Australia is a wonderful place because it has so few people, and for so long it has been untouched by the monstrosities that have haunted North American countries for years, but I think in one giant leap, Australia is trying to catch up with Big Brother - aka - the USA.  

Coon Cheese has been a part of the Australian food experience for years.  It has never been used in a negative connotation.  On the contrary, Coon Cheese was not named after the slang that originated in America - Not Australia where it was created, and defended for many years.  It was actually named after the creator of a fast and easier creation process for cheese - a gentleman by the name of Edward Coon.

So now judges are ruling that this is a derogatory remark, and it should be changed.  Are they saying that everyone who has a name that may be considered derogatory should have their name changed too?  

And who is going to pay the millions of dollars that it is going to cost to rebrand a company that is no longer allowed to use their own name?  And what will happen when those 'precious' people that can't leave well enough alone can't get their favorite cheese?  Will they finally realize what wankers they really have been, and get a life?

I doubt it.  Pigs will surely fly before then.  That is if someone isn't offended that pigs are actually flying and threatens to sue them for misrepresentation.  

Get a life people.  Stomp on those precious or delicate little feelings that you have and realize that life wouldn't be nearly as interesting without all the little things that annoy you.  Hell, I wouldn't have near as much fun if I didn't have stupid people to pick on every day.

People and their pissiness.

Why is it, that when people are doing something that they 'should' be enjoying - they look miserable, and act like complete twits?  

And why must runners look down upon everyone else from their high freaking horse? (You might have a great body, but I still hope you drop dead.)

Cyclists - well they can't bother to ding a bell to let you know they are coming, but then yell at you as they try to run you off the road.

And what about those walkers?  Well if you get a gaggle of bitchy women - on the walking paths, sidewalks or in the shopping centres, will they move?  Oh no.  They have to walk five across and leave you with barely enough room to squeeze between the garbage bin and the railing.

If you have a kid, or kids, don't take your god damn stroller to the shopping centre on December 24th!  (Which by the way isn't one of those small things.  No.  Quite the opposite.  These things are built like tanks now, with enough storage to cart food to feed the army for a week.)

And keep your kids on a leash (yes I said that correctly) and quiet.  The last thing I want to hear is thirty screaming kids when I'm trying to eat an overpriced hamburger on my day off at the shopping centre.

Enough said.
