I hate to be a downer but since this site is devoted to the MADNESS of our world I thought it appropriate to take a step back from the random violence and chaos encircling our world and obtain stock of the recent insanity that has descended like a dark cloud over our reality.
The scary thing is that all this evil has, for the most part, gone unnoticed as a whole and taken place in the past few weeks. With the 24/7 news and media pumping out the next big story we’ve lost perspective on the collective actions of the terrible few.
To top this all off the Lakers are in the playoffs, the Kings and Warriors are terrible, the Niners front office is a 3 ring circus, and my 401k is embarassing. Outside of that things are looking rosy.
The Country that brings you Cocaine, Coffee, front yard parking lots and trashy 80′s movies is proud to present a new story sickening to the extent you might be able to call in sick to work.
I think it’s time to reallocate our troops from overseas to Oakland. This is getting ridiculous. Peep this map of crime in Oakland. The map is littered with incidents of crime. Yeah this is an American city. THIS IS OAKLAND!
At this point most have you have heard about the tragic, ill fated flight from Newark to Buffalo that crashed tonight in Buffalo killing all on board. Here’s the only live video clip I could fin on youtube below. The flight was Continental Flight 3407.
Two points here: One, WTF? Second point is a little more conspiracy theory but seems odd that two, rather large, sophisticated airliners went down within a few weeks of each other in the New York area. Can’t remember that last time that happened…Let that ruminate a little.
In a sad turn of events the long running Bay-to-Breakers event, in San Francisco, has come to an end; At least the fun part of it. There will still be the 12k run but none of the debauchery. Personally I don’t see how you can have one without the other but that is exactly what San Francisco is trying to do.
For the past half century Bay-to-Breakers has grown from a small race to a massive 100k plus keg party that looks more like a nude, extravagant, Halloween on wheels than an actual race.
Yes, you heard it here first (or maybe second or even third) the Burger King in Boynton Beach Florida; Yeah that one, is out of Lemonade. Can someone please dial 911, this is an emergency!
“Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I’ve just been handed a urgent and horrifying news story, and I need all of you, to stop what you’re doing and listen.”
