Gas Pedal Stuck?

What to do when the gas pedal sticks. Of course it wouldn’t be a big deal if most drivers weren’t incorrigible leadfoot, stomp on the gas, mash the brake, fail to signal, hang on, think I dropped my (cellphone, sandwich, lipstick, magazine, baby) kinda drivers anyway. After all, if the gas pedal was only [...]

Politicians Are All Alike

The city manager of Black Diamond, a Seattle suburb apparently was the right guy for the  job, they hired him and then did the backcground check. What they could discover, when he wasn’t trying to block thier efforts, seems to be perfectly appropriate for a person in charge of the public trust, as per our opinion.

Microsoft Patents Disabilities For Gamers

That’s a fact jack, the wizards at the big software company everyone loves to hate have linked your real world phsical attributes, (as determined by banks of computers sifting through all the data in the cloud), to the character you will be able to chose when playing the latest action games on that shiny new Xbox. Think you have [...]

News Flashes – Nazis, Stoners, Tigers, and Thiefs, oh my

Thought the haircut wars were over, well nothings really ever over in Texas. Seems even preschoolers aren’t immune from the kindergarten attitudes of the people who run the schools in that state.

Gimme a half gallon of milk to go with those brownies, and a bag of Cheetos, and another bag of Cheetos, and maybe another bag [...]

Interesting Sara Palin Update

You don’t talk to Sarah unless she talks to you first. Just one of  the recent gleanings from observations about our current celeb politico.

Another – Wherever she goes they take the tomatoes away so they can’t be used as objects of commentary, (but they leave the cans of green beans on the shelves, and we’re [...]

Free Land In America

Free land in America? You bet, but like everything else it has a catch. There is land available free in every state in the United States, you just have to know who to ask. Sometimes you can’t do much with it but what the heck, it’s yours, and you can say you own it. We’ll [...]

Australian Dust Storms Predict The End Is Near

Australians must feel like the end is near,  huge ugly cane toads, as big as old school telephones, litter the roads. Monstrous rat like creatures, with fat long tails, and wearing boxing gloves belligerently  roam the countryside carrying their children  with them in pouches made of their own skin.  Gasoline is in such short supply that mutant gangs in mullets rage [...]

Rocket Man, Transport to the Future

NASA hasn’t got anything on this guy. You name it, Ky Michaelson’s put a rocket on it. Functional, yes, in a deadly sort of way. Hasn’t the problem with personal jetpacks always been that they’ll not only give you a lift off at an exhilarating speed but also pile drive you into the ground at [...]
