Denny's Breakfast Special:

Denny's Restaurants is having a breakfast special in honor of Nadya Suleman, mother of the octuplets.

You get 8 eggs, no sausage, and the person next to you has to pay!

Facebook

How many times do I have to ignore a 'friend' request from the same non-friend before he gets the message?
That, and his repeated messages to ask "Do you remember me?"

I'd nasty the pathetic twit, but to message him grants him access to my profile for thirty days.

Just maybe, after what is now the 5th ignored 'friend' request, he'll get the hint?
Time will tell.

Thinning The Herd

This is a Ferrari Modena











This is a Ferrari Modena in the hands of a moron with more money than brains.

I guess you can just say that he's all 'tapped out'.

Madoff To Prison?

Somehow, I find that hard to believe...

The latest news is that Bernard Madoff will plead guilty to all charges.

Supposedly, he is scheduled to plead and grovel before the court this Thursday, and then return for sentencing several weeks later.
Given that justice favors the wealthy, he will likely be given time after sentencing to attend to his affairs prior to reporting for actual prison.

This is what often bothers me about our system. The wealthy get a different level of justice than the rest of us. Madoff, who 'mad-off' with billions, was given a postable bail, and allowed to remain in his $7 million home pending trial. If it was some blue-collar dude who ripped off a few grand, he would have been in jail the whole time.

My suspicion, given that the creep is 70yrs old, is that this guy will likely take an overdose of sleeping pills before he reports to serve his 150yrs.
And why not? He's been ripping off the citizens for 20yrs. Why not steal justice from them,too?

***Update: I was wrong. The judge revoked his bail and he was led away in cuffs.

Family Values

I remember once, it was over thirty tears ago now, a female member of the family, rather attractive, about 15 or 16 she was being harassed in the neighborhood by some young man who wasn't very, ah... I'll just say he hadn't yet learned how to properly behave toward a young woman.
Threats of degrading sexual acts, lewdness, things of that nature.
After two or three encounters with this guy she told her dad about it. She was scared, to be sure. Naturally, her dad didn't like the kinds of things his ears were hearing.

When the Dad paid the offender a visit, he was met with hostility and a baseball bat. Before the discussion was over, the bat had changed hands, and 'the message' was properly, and forcefully, delivered.

About an hour later, the cops were paying the father a visit.. They heard him out, ruled it self-defense (wink,wink) and the situation was considered resolved.

You see, in the Old Country, fathers and brothers didn't call the cops when their women needed defending. And I know that we here in the New World are supposed to be more civilized than Calabrese rednecks. But are we, really?
Sometimes, I'm not so sure.


Today, singer Chris Brown was (finally) charged with two felonies nearly a month after he beat the snot out of girlfriend, and fellow singer, Rihanna.

Why it takes The Law a month to get around to this is don't know.
And tough guy Brown will most likely get probation, maybe attend a few "Don't hit girls" classes, some "counseling".
He's got the money, so 'justice' will be understanding of him.

But you know what I find really criminal about this whole affair?
It's that Chris Brown is still looking pretty healthy. Not even a slight limp when he walks.
So what's wrong here? Doesn't Rihanna have a father, or any brothers?

Why I'm Not In Charge, Reason #1723

Pearl Harbor, despite it's use as a naval base, exudes an atmosphere of serenity. A relaxing calm filters through among the ocean breezes, the beauty of the Hawaiian landscape providing a pleasing backdrop as your tour boat approaches it's destination.
Disembarking, you walk up the ramp.
Your head is on a swivel. Looking around. At the harbor. The surrounding hills. The large vessel floating by. The white stone structure that is your destination.
What a cool place to be.

You step aboard the Arizona Memorial. Looking down,you are reminded that directly below your feet, permanently entombed within the hull, lie the remains of over 1100 United States servicemen.
In case you needed a reminder, the protruding gun turret and the still present oil slick leave no room for doubt: you are indeed standing on hollowed ground, the names of the entombed etched in stone upon the Memorial Wall.

Looking out again, you try to imagine how this sweet place in the sun could have once been the site of so much hell.
Bodies floating. Men screaming. Smoke billowing. Fires raging. Explosions of every kind, everywhere. Death by the thousands.

So, it is with interest that I read of the Emperor of Japan potentially visiting this sacred site. The place where all this hell and devestation was rained down in the name of the rat bastard of Pacific,who else, but the Emperor of Japan.

And no doubt, the Emperor will desire to lay the obligatory wreath in honor of the fallen.
Well, I think enough wreaths have been laid already, and from this guy, the Emperor of Japan, using the wreath cliche is getting off easy. Waaay too easy.
For crying out loud, this is Pearl Harbor we're talkin 'bout.
The day that will live in infamy.
Remember, those sneaky Japs? and the surprise attack?
And let this pompous jerk off the hook with a frickin wreath?
Who you kiddin'?

Personally,if I were in charge, I would require that the Emperor shave his head, strip to skivvies, and prostrate himself before every American present, physically kissing their asses while begging forgiveness for what was done to our nation in the name of the Chrysanthemum Throne upon which he sits.

That's what I want.

Maybe that's why I'll never be in charge
