Hot Damn I love Wednesday’s. As the family schedule goes, I have the place to myself. Tonight a quick stop at the grocery store and I had me some grilled asparagus, sauteed mushrooms and a nice rib steak for which I uncovered the BBQ for the first time of the season. Along with that I opened another gem from NY, an 
Ithaca Beer Company IPA called, yeah boys, you guessed it….Flower Power. RateBeer.com gives it a 97 rating and a 97 on style out of 100. Very nice and hoppy.
Eat Meat, Save The Planet
We all have heard some environazi site cow farts as a major cause of methane gas and by extension global warming/climate change.
Well the answer is not to decrease the amount of livestock out there, but to increase it and rotate it. This speech on the TED network is awe inspiring and could be part of the biggest change in the greening of our planet (and by extension) create carbon sinks that keep the left happy, create lush green pastures and forests that make gun owning hunters happy, and reverse the desertification of the planet.
I am no friend to the environmental movement, but I am all for more beef cattle roaming the planet. Just watch this 20 minute video. You will be amazed at the change that can be made by livestock mimicking nature.
So what’s the answer? Eat meat and save the planet.
I Wonder What He Would Do At The Ottawa Airport Where Parking Fees Are $18/Day
Chris Brown is a cheapskate.. The guy is a celebrity and heaven knows he isn’t hurting for the cash.
Singer Chris Brown isn’t exactly Hollywood’s most lovable character. And he certainly didn’t do himself any favors when he flipped out on a valet at a Los Angeles bowling alley over a $10 parking fee.
However, that $10 was apparently enough to send the 23-year-old millionaire over the edge.
“F**k ten dollars,” Brown said to the valet attendant before threatening him. “Give me my keys or we’re going to turn this whole spot up.”
I can safely (and proudly) say, I have never bought a Chris Brown record, CD, MP3, video. And if he came on the radio while I was driving, I wouldn’t even know it was him.
Not only is Chris Brown a cheapskate, but in my book he’s a doofus.
Michelle O’Bama and John Kerry To Celebrate Anti-Semite
Seriously?? This has got to be a joke.
On Friday March 8, Michelle Obama will join John Kerry at a special ceremony at the State Department to present ten women the Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award.
…
The only problem is that one of the women to be recognized is an anti-Semite and supports the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
…
Samira Ibrahim, as the State Department’s profile describes her, “was among seven women subjected by the Egyptian military to forced virginity tests in March 2011.” The press release further notes that Samira “was arrested while in high school for writing a paper that criticized Arab leaders’ insincere support to the Palestinian cause.” Apparently, the State Department is unaware of her other convictions.
…
On Twitter, Ibrahim is quite blunt regarding her views. On July 18 of last year, after five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver were killed a suicide bombing attack, Ibrahim jubilantly tweeted: “An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news.”
It only goes downhill from there.
Shame on Michelle O’Bama and John Kerry.
How Paranoid About Religion Must One Be?
I am stunned that someone actually felt the terms B.C. and A.D. need to be changed because they refer to Christianity. But in this article, the reversal of this decision is discussed.
The museum, like many institutions that study history, some time ago dropped BC (for “before Christ”) and AD (for “anno Domini,” the Latin phrase for “in the year of the Lord”) in describing dates. Instead, it has used CE (for “common era”) and BCE (before the common era). But no more.
How screwed up is that?
The Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa went with the new terms but are reversing the decision for interactions with the public and only maintaining the BCE and CE terms for academic purposes. Why even bother?
The best quote to describe this was made by Kelly McParland, who said:
It’s my opinion that the museum is playing with fire. Maybe that’s why they’re changing their own name from Canadian Museum of Civilization to the Canadian Museum of History. Which is presumably being done to avoid offending the uncivilized.
Yup! I Still Firmly Believe Canada Should Bow Out Of The United Nations.
Not much more needs to be said other than the U.N. is crapping on Canada stating that we are a nation with too much child hunger and as such can’t preach about human rights in other nations.
The U.N. can kiss my lily white ass. Go find a third world country to bitch about you hypocrites.
More “Screwed” Humour
Just because it’s well done and talks about being “screwed” this one gets on the site.
Play Games, Cure Cancer
I am wholeheartedly encouraged by this story.
Networking computers to increase processing power is nothing new. But three of the world’s biggest tech giants, Google, Facebook and Amazon are looking to develop a game for your smartphone that is both fun but let’s you help in the search for cancer curing drugs.
Scientists from a British cancer charity are teaming up with technology gurus from the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google to design and develop a mobile game aimed at speeding the search for new cancer drugs.
The project, led by the charity Cancer Research UK, should mean that anyone with a smart phone and five minutes to spare will be able to investigate vital scientific data at the same time as playing a mobile game.
The game is slated to come out mid 2013.
Kudos to these companies. They are OfficiallyAwesome for doing this.
Oprah Winfrey vs. Motley Crue
My company has season tickets to the Ottawa Senators so we get the advance invites to buy tickets for various events showing up in our town. Today we received invitations for Oprah Winfrey and MÖTLEY CRÜE.
MÖTLEY CRÜE tickets are going for around $58. And Oprah Winfrey’s are going for $355. Read more
True Story
I drive through McDonalds this morning and order two round eggs and three sausage patties for breakfast. (A good old Atkins breakfast). I pull up to the pay window and the cashier turns to me and she says “How can you eat all that pork. Don’t you know it’s the leading cause of cancer?”
I didn’t know what to say and to leave me speechless is a pretty difficult thing to do.
Any comments?
