Larry Jankens's blogFaulty Bomb Detectors, Government Incompetence, On Thursday Morning
Generally, I’m a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I’m a firm believer that people should be allowed to do whatever it is they wish if doesn’t harm anybody else - live and let live is what I say, especially if I’ve had a few beers in me. However, there are a few things that this dude cannot abide. Two of which are wasteful government spending and unnecessarily putting people in harms way. So you can imagine my response when I found out about a product that the Iraqi government spent over $80 million (of our money, mind you) on that has resulted in the unnecessary deaths of Americans and Iraqis – I was pissed. Breaking News: Milwaukee Politician Is Really Really Dumb
And we have reached a new low. So my last post was a collection of media cuts that made Republicans look like idiot arse-nuggets. In the post I stated that I was sure that there were plenty of dummy Democrats but they were not as vocal as the stupid Republicans. Basically saying that both parties have a structural defects because they keep nominating complete dolts to run this country.
The following clip is of Milwaukee county supervisor, Democrat Peggy West stating that Arizona has no right to weigh in on the immigration debate with their recent controversial legislation because it doesn’t border Mexico. Another council person had to take time to point out that however Mrs. West feels about the legislation itself, AZ does in fact border Mexico. [Read more] Republicans Say the Darndest Things
I'm sure you could put clips of Dems saying stupid things together, but I don't think that it'd be this ridiculous. Some of the stuff these people say is astoundingly dumb. My questions are as follows: 1) Are Reps just stupid or out of touch with reality? [Read more] Vote With Your Dollars, Or Stop Whining
I got to thinking the other day about the last time I voted. It was 2002 in west Mesa, AZ at a church with a bunch of really Mormon-looking people. The voting “booth” was a long table with a series of cardboard dividers set up past the eye line and it reminded me of my work cubicle and that it cost me an hours pay to come down and vote in a election that I could give two sh*ts about. Then I started I started doing the math about how valuable my vote was to the overall electoral process - if a million people voted my vote would be worth .000001%. And that ain’t worth a whole lot. There’s more than .000001% of mercury in your drinking water, but that small amount is deemed harmless, like your one vote to a politician. Abolish Nuclear Abolition
My formative years were spent watching two hours of Simpson’s cartoons a day, an hour block from 6-7pm and a follow up block from 10-11pm. Consequently, most of my worldviews are based on Simpson’s episodes – hence I surmised that nuclear weapon abolition is stupid.
![]() The Market is Like Gambling, And That's a Good Thing
The Goldman Sachs Senate Hearings turned out to be crappy, sh*tty, one might say, over and over again while giggling inside that you just said sh*tty on C-SPAN. If you are going to curse at least throw a f*ck in there. It’s the difference between campy PG-13 horror movies and gory R horror movies. If you are going to go for it, go for it. Had Senators truly wanted to prove their points they could have asked better questions, not just do a sh*tty rendition of a high school principal chewing out unruly students. A Pro-Equality Letter to Rachael, Who is Not an Idiot
So I was bopping around Facebook when I saw that someone wrote a post supporting gay marriage. I added my two cents by posting a link to a dagblog I wrote about the issue. A woman by the name of Rachael took exception to the post and posted a comment back. In turn, I took exception to her taking exception and this prompted her to write a direct response to my blog on her blog. The following is my response to her response. You can check out her response here.
Dear Rachael,
Aren’t epistle styled debates fun? Let's Go Out to the Movies: Movie Trailer Reviews: VIDEOS
If you are like me you have been fooled by movie trailers too many times. I’ll see a movie trailer and think to myself, “Hey that kinda seems cool, I’ll go see that in theaters,” and then go to the theaters and be severely disappointed. Or I’ll see a movie trailer and think to myself “Hey that seems like a flaming piece of crap that I will never waste my time on,” and then I’ll see the movie and it will actually be good.
The problem is when you condense a feature length film into two or so minutes, it is easy to make it look great or horrible without actually revealing whether or not the movie is in fact great or horrible. So to be safe I only watch pirated movies on the internet. That way save my money to spend on important things like video games that have cool trailers. [Read more]
Facebook Rejection Letter: Why Click "Ignore" When You Can Tell Them How You Really Feel?
This is an email I’m planning to send to this guy who we will call “Phil” who sent me a friendship request on Facebook. If you have any suggestions on a better way to word my displeasure, do share - you’ll have to trust me that this guy deserves to be talked to like this.
Dear Phil, What ChatRoulette Says About the Internet, And D*ck JokesWhen the internet was invented by Al Gore’s uncle I wonder if Unky Gore realized that while it would revolutionize the digital world it would also become a freak show. And not just the traveling kind with a bearded fat lady, dog boy, and some guy with way too many weird tattoos, but the holy shit I can’t believe how depraved and psychotic people are freak show. Need I remind you of two girls, one cup? I’ve never actually seen the two girls or the one cup in question, but I had it described to me in vivid fashion and I think that’s enough. [Read more] States Tell The Feds To Go F Themselves - Me like!
There is a new trend among state legislatures to pass laws that are in direct or indirect contradiction to federal statutes. 1. South Dakota/Wyoming – Passed a bill saying that federal gun statutes are invalid if the gun is made and used in SD or Wyoming respectively. 2. Oklahoma/Utah – Passed a resolution allowing them to opt out of any new federal healthcare mandates. 3. Alabama/Tennessee/Washington – Considering measures that would give local police authorities supremacy over federal agents in certain situations. [Read more] Apple's iPad: Jesus Machine or PopeMobile?
Unless you’ve been living under an analog rock, you know Apple released the biggest surprise everyone knew about: the iPad. Dubbed “The Jesus Machine” (http://www.buzznews.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102...) by some industry analysts (analysts whose hyperbole machine is broken), this product is supposed to resurrect the dying print media. [Read more] Fixing the Middle East: Simple Economics
There is no other force that can strike strong accord to the most disharmonious parties than money. For two basic reasons: 1) Money makes people content; and 2) Contentment breeds tolerance. Accordingly, the best foreign policy the United States can undertake is one that recognizes the awesome power of dolla-dolla billz y’all. [Read more]
Japanese Man Surprises No One by Marrying a Video Game Character
On Sunday Sal9000 married the love of his life, Nene Anegasaki, who just happens to be character in a Nintendo DS video game, Love Plus. Aside from the obvious irony that the video game character has a more normal sounding name than the actual person, this is a notable union because it is a step in the direction of respectability compared to the Japanese raping video game that we have discussed here at Dagblog. At least this guy is marrying the video and will be having consensual – eh – game play(?).
At first I thought this was a joke perpetrated by Sal9000, I mean come on, his name is Sal9000, but after recognizing that he was Japanese and seeing the wedding video I realized that this guy is for real. He really does love the video game character he created. [Read more] MNFW: Judgement EditionIt's been a while since I posted on Dagblog. I'm not going to apologize for my absence or explain why, I just wanted to point it out. Anyway, welcome to another exciting edition of My New Favorite Websites (MNFW): the judgement edition. Join me in relishing these two websites that help you look down upon other people - it's fun!
The People of Walmart Levi Johnston Has Deep TweetsLevi Johnston has some deep tweets. Below is just a small collection of his tweets. If you have not already, you need to follow him. 1. Rap Video Killed Abortionist Dr. Tiller Remembered in Stupid Cartoons Drawn by IdiotsYou can find just about anything on the internet nowadays. And I do mean everything, I found a website dedicated Charles In Charge trivia (www.cicoml.com/angelfire/79874984434), I found a social network for short guys who love tall women (www.giraffehunters.net), I even found a website that talks about former President Reagan like he was a good president (http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/68788). So was I really shocked to find out Scott Roeder, killer of Dr. [Read more] Facebook and Your Mom
