Weekends Insanity

Joe Rogan waxes on dumb people

Call it what you want karma, justice, fate, destiny OJ Simpson, “was found guilty of robbing two-sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room…Thirteen years to the day after being acquitted of killing his wife and her friend in Los Angeles.”  Somewhere Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman’s families are smiling.  This is what happens when you have more than a glove as a witness.

Quarter of Americans Think a Woman’s Place is in the Kitchen

The poll was taken at a local rally in St. Louis.  Complete with pictures.

Fewer than one-in-four Americans think that “women should return to their traditional roles in society.” Most Americans (72%) disagree with that statement, a level similar to those recorded in surveys over the past decade. Among major demographic groups, Hispanics (41%) and people with less than a high school education (51%) are among those most likely to agree. There is little difference among the classes on this question, with strong majorities in the upper class (76%) and lower class (70%) disagreeing that women should return to traditional roles. You have to wonder what town in the South they’re polling to get these numbers.

Check out who’s in the kitchen.  Ah, “the good old days.”

Askmen.com asks a similiar question. Do Women Belong In The Kitchen?

Anyone else remember Keith Hernandez’s gaffe when he noticed Kelly Calabrese, a massage therapist for the Padres, high-fiving Mike Piazza in the dugout?

“I won’t say that women belong in the kitchen, but they don’t belong in the dugout,” Hernandez said. He then laughed and added: “You know I am only teasing. I love you gals out there — always have.”

Hey it could be worse you could be Muslim woman or an Israeli woman.

Tonights debate between the two Vice Presidential candidates is being moderated by Gwen Ifill who, believe it or not, “has a new book coming on Inauguration day about Barack Obama and the politics of race.” Of course the Obama campaign is saying they didn’t know anything about this.  Objective journalism at it’s best.

Tuesdays Insanity

Slow Motion drunken slap and treadmill fall

No “bail out” package news delivers worst day ever on Wall Street.  This hurt but it’s also somewhat reassuring that our Representatives are listening to their people.  We were obviously not happy with bailing out criminals and poor business practices. “Most Americans don’t believe the government has responsibility for bailing out financial firms with taxpayer money, a core part of the rescue plan Congress is considering to halt the near-meltdown of the nation’s financial markets, a Times/Bloomberg poll has found.”

I think most Americans are okay with a bail out package but it needs to make sense and they need to make the case that we WILL get our money back one way or another. On the plus side Oil dropped $10!

Chances are if you read ML you’re not but on the off chance you are and you’re looking to assimilate into American society I can help.  Start by taking the mexican flag off your bondo colored car, it might also help to stop parking it on the front lawn.  I would even go so far as to recommend speaking english but if that doesn’t work then here are 50 other authentic American experiences to facilitate in your assimilation.

Presidential Debate Drinking Game

Ready for Tonight’s “Main Event!?”

Not all Presidential debates have to be boring affairs where two out-of-touch elites ramble on about what they think we want to hear.  So in order to stave off severe boredom during tonights debate or to better enhance your Friday night I propose the following drinking game.

• Everytime Obama invokes the word “Change” or “Hope” take one shot of Tequila. 
• Everytime McCain says “My Friends” take one shot of Tequila.

Why Tequila? Pay homage to our brown brothers that have exploded like a pinata across our southern states.  Ha, only kidding, kind of.  The tequila is to serve as a reminder that neither candidate will touch the illegal immigration issue. This way you’ll be throwing up from the tequila not from the realization that neither one of these candidates is qualifies to be President.

Doesn’t this just look yummy?

Retro-Fitting CAL Stadium

Now that the hippies are down from the trees in Berkeley the focus is moving to the actual retro fitting of the Cal Football stadium.   The 75,662 seat stadium sits directly on top of the Hayward Fault one of the more active faults in the world.

Here’s the actual stadium

And here’s where the fault intersects

“The U.S. Geological Survey said has a 70 percent chance of hatching a 6.7-magnitude or greater quake by 2030. The earth could move up to 6 feet horizontally and 2 feet vertically, presenting a challenge to engineers charged with saving the stadium and the football fans who might be inside.”

The Plan

“The plan, which is expected to get under way in the next year or two, calls for portions of the stadium to be sliced into blocks that will rest on plastic sheets. When the earth ruptures, the soil will move under the sheets but, engineers hope, will leave the blocks intact. The price tag for the retrofit is estimated at between $150 million and $175 million.”
