Random Rantings

It's been a few days since I ranted and the anger is building inside me, so here are a few ramblings:
  • These Spears family stories are getting more bizarre by the minute. Now there is this story about Jamie Lynn Spears that she used to party hard core and have sex with any guy (remember she was 15-16 years old). Here's the money quote, Just days before announcing her pregnancy in December, Jamie Lynn shocked a boy at a party by asking him for sex. "It's cool, I'm pregnant," she said. "I can't get pregnant again!" Good stuff.
  • I was watching the news Friday morning before worka nd there was a story about all the complaints these online e-card sites were getting. People weren't able to send their Valentine e-cards because of the large amount of on-line traffic. SOme people complained that they had to wait as long as 12 seconds for a page that should take 3 seconds. First off, don't they know that love isn't real so they are wasting their time. Secondly, its just an e-card; I could see being angry that it took 12 seconds for you porn site to load, but an e-card site, just wait. Third, remember 4 years ago when everyone accessed the Internet by dial up and the simplest of web pages took 30 seconds to load, we forget so quickly.
  • I thought it was "bros before roids." I am having a hard time believing how quickly Petite has turned on his wife Clemens over this Steroids issue. The first chance he had he turned in Clemens saying he knows and saw Clemens using performance enhancing drugs. Come on, where's your loyalty? That's almost quicker than how fast my wife turned on me at my manslaughter trial (I was found not guilty without her help). Update: I guess Petite and Clemens weren't married, I figured they were because they followed each other to every team they have played for the past 8 years.
  • It's the NBA All*Star Weekend. I turned my TV to see part of it but my screen was blank, oh yeah the NBA is dead to me.
  • CNN has this article on whether sexism or racism is less offensive in politics. Which is a more humane way to kill someone drowning or electrocution? These are basically the same type of question. Why are either of these even an issue nowadays? Who cares? I would vote for a purple bisexual at this point if they were the best candidate, and it wouldn't take much to be the best candidate. Also, I believe racism has been much worse in this country. Many have died over it, and many still suffer beatings and torture from it. Yes, woman are still often viewed down upon, but not to that degree.
  • We are supposed to get another 8-12 inches of snow tomorrow. There is literally no place to put it. There are 10 foot high piles of it on the street, there is no where to park, most roads are on lane, and we are already 30 inches above the average.
Here are two baseball stories to brighten your day. NBC has picked The Brewers to dominate the league and here are 9 reasons to look forward to Baseball season, unfortunately one of them they picked was the Cubs.

My Valentines "I wish you were dead" card worked just fine. And your ex-wife really like the 6 dozen roses I bought her.
