I’m kicking off a new running segment today called “Pending MENSA Applications”. For those who don’t know, MENSA is an organisation for intellectuals with extremely high I.Q.
My focus will be on the people who don’t quite qualify…. like our inaugural applicant, Mr. Tony Soprano. No, not the crime family patriarch from beloved TV show [...]

Big News Day

I love that this story makes the 11 p.m. News in Rochester, NY….
There’s so much to love about this clip; the woman yelling back at the drive thru speaker, the couple who “aren’t angry, just disappointed”, and my favourite moment, the guy at 0:53 who asks “No chicken? Or they just out of chicken?” That’s [...]
Golden Globes Reaction
January 18th, 2009 · No Comments
I’ll put this up front - I’m not a fan of the Golden Globes at all. I very rarely dig their choices for awards, and I get the feeling the Hollywood Foreign Press is not the most judicious of audiences, given their overwhelming love of swag and ass-kissing.
But I thought I’d chime in with a [...]
WTF Were They Thinking?!? - Child Abuse
December 18th, 2008 · No Comments
Here’s the definition of Child Abuse.
What a great start to life these parents have given their children. I guess this is what happens when you let siblings marry.
Seriously, forget Drivers Licences…. Surely Parent Licences are a far more important piece of governmental control. Otherwise you have this situation….

In celebration of Barack Obama’s victory, here’s the music vid made from the words of his landmark speech in New Hampshire in January that created a slogan that his supporters embraced: Yes We Can.
Here is the text transcript of that speech:

President Obama!
November 5th, 2008 · No Comments
What a great, momentous day for the United States and the world. It looks like Obama has it stitched up. The fat lady is warming up her vocal chords.
I didn’t plan on writing much about it because I don’t really feel entitled to as a non-voter, but as an objective outsider looking in it is [...]

Today’s the Day
November 4th, 2008 · No Comments
Hopefully today’s the day America rights the ship and ends eight years of incompetence at it’s helm. It is of global importance that the U.S. has a leader who has respect for the consequences of his decisions on a global scale; not only from a military or diplomatic perspective, but also from a financial and [...]

Vote!
October 31st, 2008 · No Comments
Even better than the last one. Apparently Spielberg had a lot of involvement in this one.
I know the relevance to our country is minimal, but the message is universal. EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS.
Plus the Borat appearances are genius. “I need to make a small shit. Please.”
From a personal perspective: Please give us an [...]
WTF ARE They Thinking?!? - ‘Telstra’s Rabbits Film’
October 16th, 2008 · No Comments
Did you see today’s news that Telstra are looking for some government film finance for the feature film they are producing based on the ‘Emperor Nasi Goreng / Rabbits’ series of TV commercials?
I don’t really care about the conflict of Telstra applying for government funding, I’m more concerned with the idiots who think the comedy [...]
Five Friends

Love the tone of this Pro-Registration viral vid encouraging young Americans to vote….. I get the feeling the new generation of voters will respond to the shaming / challenge presented by the celebrities who took part. And let’s face it, if anyone can get through to Gen Y, it will be celebrities.
Another thing about this [...]
