C.R.E.A.M.

For those of you left walking to work or now having to pay for each carry-on piece of luggage, rest easy to know that gasoline companies are still making money hand over fist. Exxon had their largest profit ever last quarter. WTF? We have homeless all over the country and millions living below the poverty line, but this company made $11.68 billion dollars PROFIT in 3 months. That makes me sick. They made a profit of $1,485.55 a second. Come on. I know profit motive is what makes the economy go around, and yes I do love freedom, but is this much profit necessary at the cost of so many.

Here is a clip from a documentary called "The Corporation" that takes a very interesting and negative look at corporations in America.



To lighten the mood here is a clip of Stephen Colbert playing along side Crosby, Stills, and Nash from his show last night.

President's Day

Totally is Presidents for all you people out there who are destroying America and were unaware of today. It is a federal holiday, so some of us do not have to work today because of the things some of the great men of history such as George Washington, Lincoln, FDR, and Clinton have done for this great country.

For the rest of you who are working for terrorist-fueled companies that make you work today, I feel bad for you, I really do.

It's all in a name.....

I was sitting around last evening have a few cold ones at a tavern and was watching ESPN. I noticed that the names for all these college bowl games championship games for various sports are getting ridiculous.

The PBA is having their championship event tonight, and it is called The Constructionjobs.com Chanpionship. (Never heard of such a site) Do a lot of bowlers have construction jobs? I don't see many construction workers sitting around tonight to watch bowling.

Here is a quick list of some of the ridiculous Bowl Games
  • BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL
  • ROADY'S HUMANITARIAN (due proceeds go to Africa?)
  • GAYLORD HOTELS MUSIC CITY BOWL (Isn't this from Meet The Parents?)
  • INTERNATIONAL BOWL (Both teams in it were from the U.S.)
  • SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION POINSETTIA BOWL (Is this a tongue twister?)
Why can't we just have normal bowl and championship geams? Must everything be sold out to everything in corporate America? How about the "This is Why the Terrorists Hate Us" Bowl, that has a nice ring to it.
