A womens magazine editor, Cynthia Good, became sick at the site of “Men at Work” signs next to women who were working along side men.  She began a campaign to rid the signs from the streets of Atlanta.  Today the news broke that she is successful in her quest to not offend any women driver. 

“Public Works officials are replacing 50 “Men Working” with signs that say “Workers Ahead.” It will cost $22 to cover over some of the old signs and $144 to buy new signs, said Public Works spokeswoman Valerie Bell-Smith said.”

You know what those signs that say, “Slow People Crossing?” Well it’s offensive to me.  My neighbor, Cynthia Good, is slow and I don’t want her to get upset over these signs.  Can’t they just say People Crossing Drive Slow? 

I don’t get it.  So what if you’re offended.  You’re not entitled to not get offended.  There are no rights for you there.  Besides what’s wrong with Men At Work?

Soldier Sues Army, Saying His Atheism Led to Threats.  Seriously? Really? This man is not a soldier.  No soldier would take a gripe this petty to court.  Why not just kick him out?  Can’t he leave?  Isn’t this a volunteer army? By the way nice picture DB.  When did the Army start becoming an Atheist GQ?

Bottom line If he’s not capable of defending himself against such personal disagreements or is so faint of heart that these alleged words, not orders, words push him to run into a court room and seek justice what will happen when and if he’s on the front lines and somebody is yelling orders or god, (opps I mean Darwin), forbid they cuss at him? Is he going to ask them to be polite?

It makes you wonder how he got through boot camp.  And you have to wonder how amusing stories like this must look to other countries military cores like Iran or China.  As far as I know everybody is treated like sh*t in the Army.  Not just an Atheist.  I wonder how tall this guy is? Pretty sure they don’t stack sh*t that high.

Normally anything Gail Collins writes is about as entertaining or thought provoking as watching CSPAN. However, Gail proves that by consistently submitting stories she’s bound to get one right.  She just penned or typed, whatever, an OP-ED piece in the New York Times titled the Audacity of Listening.  In the article she makes some decent points on what Obama has said over the course of the past year on the campaign trail and what he’s saying now.  Worth a read.

Gail in the Flesh

Presidential Elections always bring out the worst, most damaging news stories a week or two before the election.  Hitting the airwaves this news breaks like waves on rocks deciminating across our collective media.  The goal is often times to sway middle of the road voters one way or another.   This happened in the 2000 Presidential Election Bush vs. Gore when the news broke that Bush had a past DUI. 

This election will no doubt produce a few slimmy storues about each candidate and what they’ve done or said or what their significant other has done or said. 

The Conservatives are rumored to be sitting on another Jessie Jackson styled video of off color remarks about “whitey” made by Michelle Obama.  The Liberals on the other hand are probably sitting on this news story.

It’s hard to hide from statements like, “I hate the gooks…I will hate them as long as I live,” which McCain remarked to reporters on a campaign tour in 2000.  If they can use George Bush’s DUI from 1976 then you can bet this little diddy from 2000 is on the radar.

Point being expect a lot of excrement to hit the fan.

Oldest know Lion living in captivity dies.  The lion, named Josef, was the inspiration for Disney’s George of the Juggle and Lion King and the MGM lion. He died at the age of 23 in Salinas, Ca.  As somebody who knows Salinas, California I can say, with confidence, that this is about the median life expectancy of most humans in the region.  This guy looks bad ass.

Is it really that hard to make a trailer that doesn’t emit toxic gas? Am I expecting too much here?

I can’t decide whether this is funny or scary?

And here again, should I be laughing or just confused?

Oh Jessie.  You’re such a giver.  I’m sure by now you’ve heard but if you haven’t here you go.

I guess the stress of having a significantly more talented Black politician take the spot light has finally gotten to the good reverend.  All I can say is that when the mikes are off or people think they are you get their true colors.  Cyndi take it away.

What the hell is wrong with people? The State of Wisconsin has a case on its hands that definitely qualifies as Madness Material.  Here we go:

“Wisconsin law bans sex with dead bodies, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in reinstating charges against three men accused of digging up a corpse so one of them could have sex with it.” Ok so far so good.  I get the fact that sex with dead bodies just isn’t kosher and should be discouraged.

Here are the perps.  I think we have a McLovin look alike in the middle.

“The court waded into the grisly case after lower court judges ruled nothing in state law banned necrophilia.”  Really? They couldn’t just rule in favor of common sense? “Those decisions prompted public outrage and a push by a state lawmaker to make sex with a corpse a crime.”  HA! Surprise people can’t stand the BS coming out of our overrated court system.

“In Wednesday’s 5-2 decision, the high court said Wisconsin law makes sex acts with dead people illegal because they are unable to give consent.”Are you serious? Unable to give consent.  How about it’s just f*&ing wrong?

“The ruling reinstates the attempted sexual assault charges against twin brothers Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke, all 22. Dude I’ve never liked twins. The charges carry a punishment of up to 10 years in prison.” I’m thinking public showers and lots of time in “the yard” for these three fruitcakes.

CNNSI’s FanNation just reported that the Diamondbacks, who are in a tight race with the Dodgers, in the widly pathetic National League West Division, are looking at signing Barry Bonds.

The Diamondback are in sore need of left handed hitting and an excuse to get fans out to games in 100 plus degree heat. Or is Barry headed to Boston?  Does Theo Epstein have the marbles now that Big Papi is hurt? That sweep from the D-Rays hurt especially given the fact that the Yankees just swept the Rays.  Ah the plot thickens.
