What’s the problem with a sexy mayor?

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Humor, People, Political Correctness

A lot is being made over this:

I can see why.  SOME folks in Arlington are saying they don’t think this represents their community.  The question I have is, why not?  Mayor Carmen is obviously very fit and healthy.  That folks, is a good thing.  The image I’m getting is folks in Arlington, OR, must be [...]

Banning saggy pants

Posted by Moonage on 11 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: People, The Legal Process

Here’s the headline:
The Atlanta school board voted unanimously Monday night to ban students from wearing sagging pants that expose underwear — a youthful fashion statement deemed to defy classroom decorum.
Here’s the reality:

Although a fashion “statement” for the last twenty years or so, they look stupid.  They make the wearer look even more stupid.  I mean [...]

Help sue the Westboro Church

Posted by Moonage on 27 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Opinions, People

I have written a few times about Westboro Church.  They are disgusting and abusing religion in the worst possible way.  Well, one father of a slain soldier has had enough.  Albert Snyder, father of Matthew Snyder, is suing Westboro for disrupting his son’s funeral.  I am 100% in support of Albert’s lawsuit.  However, he’s an [...]

Barry Manilow takes a stand

Posted by Moonage on 18 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: Fun with Numbers, Humor, Idiot of the day, Media, People, Polls

Apparently Barry Manilow decided to take a stand.  He will NOT perform on the same stage as Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  Apparently he’s afraid he will suffer the same fate as Rosie.  I find this tactic kind of strange considering he performed before Hasselbeck twice last year.  He apparently stated something to the effect he felt Hasselbeck [...]

Whoopi doesn’t seem to think much of the South

Posted by Moonage on 05 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, People, Political Correctness, The Media

Whoopi Goldberg replaced Rosie Odonnell on The View.  Rosie being gone is a good thing because Rosie seemed to rely on rhetoric, stupidity, and generalizations as a basis for most of “the views”.  However, Whoopi’s been known to drop some stupid bombs of her own in the past.  Apparently not much has changed by replacing [...]

Jerry Falwell

Posted by Moonage on 17 May 2007 | Tagged as: Opinions, People

I wasn’t going to say anything about Falwell’s passing, but feel remiss for not. So, I’m gonna tackle it as best I can.
I have never been a fan of Falwell’s. Ever. When I was a small kid and he was on television, I either laughed at how inane he was, or just [...]

Children See, Children Do

In most other countries, they don’t pander to political correctness quite the way we do here. Here is a perfect example of that:

This video was produced by the National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect in Australia. It’s shocking, it’s unnerving. And, it’s accurate.

Never trust a politician offering favors

Posted by Moonage on 16 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: People

My buddies at Independent Sources took offense, sorta, upon stumbling upon this article:
Joe Redner, whos in a runoff for a city council seat, is offering free admission to his World Famous Mons Venus strip club when patrons show their I voted sticker at the door. The cover charge is usually $20.
There is a nice irony [...]

Support the border agent families

Posted by Moonage on 31 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: National Security, People, US Regional Politics, War On Drugs

The families of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Campean are in need of financial and emotional support due to their incarceration.  I’m still a bit at a loss as to why these guys are even in prison, much less why President Bush has allowed this situation to continue.  Grassfire.org is coordinating a fundraiser for the Ramos [...]

New York City stinks

Posted by Moonage on 08 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: People

Been following this today:
New York officials evacuated a number of buildings and shut down some trains after a mysterious gaslike odor was reported Monday.
A New York Police Department spokesman said an air quality test determined that the air is not hazardous, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said there is no indication terrorism [...]
