My New Crush: Aimee Mullins

by Larry Jankens 7/29/2010 - 11:10 am   |

Aimee Mullins, aka Cheetah Woman, is officially my new favorite day dream. Not only is she part cheetah and therefore very fast, but she also is a good public speaker and an amazing person, two things that are very crushable.

Faulty Bomb Detectors, Government Incompetence, On Thursday Morning

by Larry Jankens 7/22/2010 - 11:49 am   |

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

by Larry Jankens 7/7/2010 - 1:33 pm   |

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

by Larry Jankens 6/29/2010 - 4:06 pm   |

 

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

by Larry Jankens 6/22/2010 - 2:58 pm   |

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

by Larry Jankens 5/13/2010 - 1:14 pm   |

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

by Larry Jankens 4/29/2010 - 11:28 am   |


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

by Larry Jankens 4/25/2010 - 4:32 am   |

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

by Larry Jankens 4/23/2010 - 10:52 am   |
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?

by Larry Jankens 4/19/2010 - 11:49 am   |

 

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,
