But My Other 249 Cats Were Lonely!

A Missouri woman is under indictment for animal abuse and neglect. I guess that sort of thing happens when you have 56 animals living with you in a one-bedroom apartment... sometimes, one of them gets misplaced. She also had 250 animals on her meager farm. Nice.

Here are comments about the situation from some of the cats interviewed at the scene:

A Sign of Protests To Come?

Check out the peaceful demonstrators at a Kerry rally. Much has been made of how people were ejected from Bush rallies for wearing Kerry gear... check out what happens at a Kerry event if you are on the other side.

Paul Hamm DESERVES His Gold Medal! Enough Already!!!!

The disgraceful International Gymnastics Federation (IGF) has asked Paul Hamm to give up his earned gold medal as "the ultimate show of good will". What a big pile of horse sh*t. As the group responsible for upholding rules and standards for international competition, they expect Hamm to disregard his own gutsy, awe-inspiring performance and concede to the pathetic performance of their own judges.

Shame on you, IGF.

Hamm earned that medal based on the rules that you scumbags are supposed to administer. The IGF had three Olympic-caliber judges and a judging system that should have been up to par with Hamm's performance. They failed. Hamm didn't. In addition, based on the rules, the Korean coaches, who are also supposed to be among the best coaches in the world in their field, were not up enough on the rules of competition to dispute the scores. They are also culpable. Shame the hell on them, too

The fact remains that Hamm should not have even won a medal after his catastrophic vault, but he managed to create nearly flawless routines throughout the rest of the event while all the other athletes fell apart. It never should have been that close, but it was.

And that's why Hamm is the Olympic champion. The International Gymnastics Federation should honor his effort instead of trying to hide behind their mistakes.


Great Quote For Immature People Like Me

From Jason Giambi of the Yankees about his injury recovery:
''I had more energy. I was able to do more things with my groin than we've done before.''

Accidentally Overcome By Pot Fumes? Suuuuuuure you were...

"The Denver Fire Department's hazadous materials team helped decontaminate three Denver Police Detectives Wednesday who were exposed to moldy marijuana fumes. The three officers were attempting to destroy the marijuana in the evidence locker room when they were overcome by the vapors."

Before being ushered to the hospital, one officer was overheard asking for Funyuns.

"Hot Saucing" - A Controversial Form Of Discipline

Don't make me have to get out the jalapenos!
No, not THAT form of discipline, you kinky devil, you! I'm talking about child rearing. It would seem that parents are taking to the habanero pepper as a tool in molding young minds. Now, I can speak first hand to this because I've personally been affected by this. My girlfriend likes spicy foods and I tried to sneak a taste of what LOOKED like "beef with broccoli". I'll never do THAT again! In all seriousness, ABCNEWS has done a report debating the issue. Is it tortune? Was it torture when I got a mouthful of Irish Spring when I said the word "crap" in Montessori school when I was 6? Um... yes. I can still taste that cra.... stuff.

Great Political Cartoon!

Alice Cooper on Musicians and Politics

From BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
ALICE COOPER: Anti-BUSH Rockers Are Guilty Of Treason

ALICE COOPER has told the Canadian Press that all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA games in Phoenix with Arizona Senator John McCain, was disgusted when he learned of plans by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and other bands to hold a series of concerts aimed at unseating U.S. President George W. Bush.

"To me, that's treason. I call it treason against rock 'n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics," says the 56-year-old Cooper, who begins a 15-city Canadian tour on Aug. 20 in Thunder Bay, Ont.

"When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I'd run to my room and put on the ROLLING STONES as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick.

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

Despite his strong insistence that rock has no place in politics, Cooper is one of just a handful of high-profile musicians who've proclaimed support for Bush.

Peeping Tom Assaulted By Victim's Family

From Yahoo News:
An alleged peeping Tom remains in the intensive care unit after reportedly being assaulted with a tree branch, NewsChannel5 reported.

Officials said Mario Russo, 44, was attacked after he was spotted outside a bedroom window wearing his pants around his ankles and watching a 5-year-old girl who was sleeping outside the Bunker Ridge Apartments.

Russo was reportedly hiding in bushes.

Police said after he was discovered a group of six people, include the girl's mother, aunt and their boyfriends attacked him and brutally beat him for more than an hour.

The girl's mother, Stacy Umstott, 28; her aunt, Athena Lemieux, 20; Brandon Breedon, 21; Nicholas Phipps, 21; and Khald Arafat, 34; and a 15-year-old are in police custody. They face felonious assault and rape charges. Murder charges could be filed if Russo dies.

The girl's aunt admitted to sexually assaulting Russo with a tree branch, police said.

The incident was caught on tape.

Meanwhile, police said that citizens should not take matters into their own hands. "To take matters into their own hands like they did was just way, way beyond reason," North Royalton Detective Jay Drake said.
I read this article and smiled... then I thought about it some more and was disturbed. They essentially tortured this guy. Don't get me wrong... he's not above a good ass-whuppin'. It just seems to me that the use of a tree branch is too much.

UPDATE: The Smoking Gun has details, including photos of everyone but the guy with the stick in his ass. Read the report...

Question of the Week, or Should I Say "Every Other Week"?

I have a new one this week: Who was your favorite pin up when you were a kid? I thought of this after an extended discussion about Erin Gray from the Sci-Fi classic "Buck Rogers". Who was on your wall?

Alabama Fans... Hottest In The SEC!

Hey Dad! Nice Jugs!

Put 'em on the glass, Keith!
A Washington State man claims that he is turning into a woman, and it's all because of Wal-Mart. According to reports, a Wal-Mart pharmacist took Keith Sabey's prescription for testosterone and accidentally gave him the female hormone estrogen, and after weeks of use began to develop boobies. Sweet, sweet boobies. He has hired an attorney and plans on suing the pharmacy... as soon as he's done shopping for bed linens at the mall and watching Sex and the City reruns.

RAPCON vs. Hurricane Charley

This weekend, the members of RAPCON are trying to meet up at HQ to lay down some phat tracks. Going to be difficult, since Florida has fifteen hurricanes, tornados and tsunamis all headed towards the center of the state. So, I guess I'll have to buy provisions, which include (but are not limited to): bottled water, beer, beer, ground meat, bread, chips and sode, beer, and ibuprofen. Wish us luck.

Medieval Fair For Sale - Turkey Legs, Wenches Sold Separately

It's 233 acres worth of jousting, fighting and stinking and it can be yours for the starting bid of $200,500.00! No word on whether the "Ye Olde Fajita Stand" or the "Root Beer Shoppe" will come fully stocked.

Rick James, Dead at 56

Cocaine really IS a hell of a drug.
Rick James, funk and R&B maestro, has passed away of natural causes at the young age of 56. Take a look at the CNN.com bio as he has a very checkered past. Just ask Charlie Murphey.

Williams Admitted To Miami Despite Arrest Record

Miami Coach Larry Coker, seen here insisting that Williams walk ahead of him.

What little credibility Miami had built up from the days when they were considered a team of convicts has been tarnished as they decided to admit felon Willie Williams to school and the team. The article mentions how he'll walk the straight and narrow and also that he won't be talking to the media "for the forseeable future". Which is impossible for him, I'm sure. As soon as they play FSU, he'll have something to yap about, especially if they win.

Does someone really have to WIN a Miami/FSU game? Can't both teams just fall into the sea or something?

A Thought About The Michael Moore/O'Reilly Debate

GregNews passed along a thought that he heard after the debate on the O'Reilly Factor between Bill O'Reilly and Michael Moore. One of the conditions that Moore demanded was that the interview be broadcasted without any editing. I suppose Moore knows above all else knows the power of creative and misleading editing!

Ready For A Joke?

This one sent in by Kevin in Gainesville:

"did you hear,, lance armstrong might have his tour de france title stripped.. there were 3 items found in his hotel room that are banned by the french.. deodorant, soap, and toothpaste."


Question of the Week!

Arnold prepares to dead lift a husky Chinese boy.

I've noticed that this website has a pretty steady stream of passive readers but not enough people that step up to the plate and comment, so I've decided to institute a "question of the week" where I'll pose a question and then after some responses I'll give you my answer.

Here's the first question: During what movies is it ok for guys to cry? And, no, you can't say "Terminator 2" when Ahhnold gives the "thumbs up" as he's dropped into the lava. Ready....GO!


Bush's Facial Alterations

Some clever person has created a site that lets President Bush friends or foes change his look. A little bi-partisan enjoyment.

Eat Your Food, Don't Look At It

Sometimes, food is meant to just be eaten and not viewed.

In my hurry to get to work late this morning, I grabbed a round foil ball out of the fridge for breakfast. Inside that ball was a two-day-old breakfast burrito from Sonic. For those of you who don't know what "Sonic" is, I'll try to describe it for you. Imagine what McDonald's would be like if it was cleaner and had better service and all varieties of milkshakes. And lettuce. That's Sonic.

Anyway, I grossly (if that is a word) heated up my buried in the microwave while waiting for my coffee and wrapped it back in the foil for the trek back to my desk. (No, I didn't put the foil in the microwave. That would have destroyed the building.)

After downing my hi-octane latte, I unwrapped the breakfast entree. The smell wafted from it's crumpled metal trappings. Unfortunately, I took a look at it and was surprised to see that the grease used to cook everything inside had permeated everything contained in the burrito. At this point, there is so much grease that you could almost see through the food. No doubt, the high cholesterol, ultra-hyper-untrans-uberfatty acid grease that makes your hair fall out and leeches nutrients out of your bones.

I ate it anyway. Who needs vitamins. I'm hungry.
