Pollution! In Los Angeles? No way!

I read an article today on Yahoo! (definitely one of their filler stories) today about the most polluted cities in the country.  Was I surprised that four out of the top five cities were in California?  NOPE.COM,

-FYI for those of you wondering Los Angeles was #2, and Bakersfield was #1.

Although the article was great to read as a filler story; I couldn't help myself from becoming annoyed by it.  Too often Yahoo! comes out with these "ranking articles" that truly do nothing but inform you of how screwed up a situation is.

So they say he's dead. Bin Laden that is.

So what does it mean? I understand that it's truly a victory for the United States, actually a great moral victory, but what does it truley mean?

I personally am a bit scared as to the repercussions the death of such an individual will have. This is unlike any other death we, as a people, have experienced.

Really think about it......the only other hate empire that has been dealt a blow like this was Germany when Hitler committed suicide, but even that doesn't compare. Unlike Hitler, Bin had an underground organization lead by hatred, religion, and backed by an endless supply of money. In addition, Hitler's whole empire was actually brought down. Bin Landen was definitely the head of the snake, but in no way should anyone think he was also the body.

Terrorism is not going to stop. In fact, it saddens me to say this, but I think it will only get worse. Now, all these radicals have a true martyr. Now, they have someone they can vindicate. I definitely think that Bin Laden's death was a MUST! But, at what price?

Chub out!

OH GOD! The President! The President! The President!

Seriously, if I open up any more web page and the first piece, or should I say, the featured story is based on the President's birth certificate I'm going to shoot myself.  Wait, no I won't, but Jeez come on people! 

You have like 90% of the country up Jan Brewer's ass because she wants outrageous immigration laws in the state of Arizona, yet the whole country is up the President's ass over his birth certificate.  Do you really think that our country is that retarded?  Oh wait, the same people (majority vote) that voted for him are the same people demanding/questioning his birth certificate.........so, maybe we are a little retarded.

Texting leads to mans's death.

Man found dead at the bottom of Fallen Angel Ravine. The body was found by a hiker early Sunday morning. At first the police believed this to be an apparent suicide; until, they discovered the man's cell phone. When reviewing the last few text messages, they found out what really happened. The last few text  messages were, "I've fallen and can't get up, please send help", and then someone replied back with "LOL, good one"!

It seems that the man was texting and not paying attention to where he was walking and fell right off the cliff. The medical examiner said he was still alive after the fall for a short time. Now thanks to his death, the government is proposing a law that would make it against the law to walk and text. Many say this is just another ploy by the police to boost revenue and tighten their grip on our liberties.

Robbery foiled by a doughnut!

Reports are flooding in from all over Blogg City detailing an attempted robbery which took place this morning at Dave's Doughnut Depot on 9th and Main St.

Craig Snicklefoot entered the establishment at 3 a.m. demanding all the money; however, the cashier noticed Mr. Snicklefoot had no weapon and refused to give him any money. The cashier then began to pelt Mr. Snicklefoot with an assortment of doughnuts.

As Mr. Snicklefoot was fleeing the doughnut store, he slipped on a jelly filled doughnut and slid into the feet of the local police who were making their normal 3 a.m. doughnut run. Mr. Snicklefoot was booked on attempted robbery.

This goes to show you that cops and doughnuts do belong together.

Funny video about Big Foot and the Chupacabra. Do you think they exist? I believe that Big Foot lives and is just deep in the mountains somewhere!!!

President of Czech Republic Steals Pen! Hilarious! Must see (VIDEO)

No one should really care if the president stole the pen or not (relax people!), but you can't help but laugh at the fashion that he did it in, straight up gangsta like, "yeah I'm being recorded and I'll still take yo shit and what!"  HA!

Check out the video:

Full (VIDEO) of Flight from San Francisco to Paris! Check it!

I thought this video was really cool, so I wanted to share it with everyone on the site.  The coolest thing about the video was that it was captured by a camera and not an actual video recorder.  The camera was set up to take pictures every two miles, which resulted in 2,459 shots.  They were later compiled together to create this truly stunning video. 

Enjoy!

Yellowstone Super Super Volcano!


So, as I was cursing around my Twitter updates I came across this story on Yellowstone National Park titled, “Yellowstone Super Volcano Bigger than Thought!” Of course, my immediate reaction was to read the story. I mean, come on, if you are familiar with the history of Yellowstone National Park you would jump on it right away as well, if you are not familiar click here for our video on the topic (cheap plug! Lol).

Cat Lovers Look Away!!!!



 To answer your first question, Yes that is a real arrow!
In Santa Cruz, California a cat had gone missing for more than two days, when it showed up on it's home doorstep the owners discovered the cat with an arrow through it's head. The funny thing is the cat was acting normal! The arrow has been dislodged from the cats head, and the cat has suffered no ill effects.

Makes you wonder who would do this to a cat? I am not very fond of cats, but I would never shoot one with an arrow. I must say though, that was a good shot!!!

Dodgers Fans and Giants Fans (VIDEO)

Okay, so I've been tip toeing around the idea of posting my thoughts on this particular subject since it occurred.  Not because I am scared to speak my mind, but because I know it's such a touchy subject. I want to make sure I do it tastefully.  

As many of you already know (Husky Blogged about this already), there was an incident that occurred at Dodger Stadium a few days ago involving a Giants fan and two Dodgers fans.  I'm not going to go into every single detail, but if you are not inform I included this video for you, so check it out.



So, hear I go.
1.  I'm tired of every one acting like they don't know how Dodger Stadium is.  I'm not making any excuse for what occurred, but I'm so sick and tired of hearing people being interviewed and making it seem like it's a shocker that Dodger Stadium is NOT safe for everyone in attendance.  Uhmmm maybe that's why tailgating is not allowed at the stadium.  Hello! 



2.  Dodgers’ Organization:  What the Fuck is wrong with Frank?  I understand that the Dodgers are his “business” but stop fucking around and making it seem like nothing happened.  The man is in a coma for crying out loud.  What more do you want to happen for you to consider it a big deal?  The way he has handled the media on this “isolated incident” has been simply horrible, and quite frankly embarrassing.  That’s why your wife was about to take your ass in court.    

3.  So, when do we discuss what the real problem is at Dodger Stadium?  Last I checked we shouldn’t have to hire a SWAT team to get from our cars to our seats while visiting a ball park.  WTF?   Stop blaming everything on security.  How about we put some blame on Dodgers fans themselves.  I’m a huge fan of the Dodgers (insert Husky’s Joke here), and have been since I can remember.  I grew up 5 mins away from the stadium.  For 27 years of my life I looked up to see the illuminating lights of the stadium light up the western part of the neighborhood.  Learn how to act right people.  Learn how to know where the limits are.  Stop embarrassing us, the good people of L.A.

4.  This is where everyone in the room might want to throw a pitch fork at me……..but, I’m very serious when I say this……..if you are going to ANY stadium and you are from the opposing team, be safe about it.  Don’t sit there and try to argue and get all big and bad against a whole mob of fans.  You are going to lose that battle.  I, in no way, justify what anyone does to hurt another person, what I’m saying right now (sad to admit this, but it’s the TRUTH) people don’t know how to act right.  I was up in Frisco in late November for a Rams vs. 49er game, and my nephews (2 of them) where terrified throughout the whole game.  My nephew truly thought I was going to be hurt by someone in the stands who kept heckling us for being Rams fans.  Again, I don’t condone any violence, but we have to be realistic about it.  Until people realize it’s just a game nothing will change.

Lastly, my prayers go out to the family of the Giants fan that was hurt at Dodgers Stadium.  It’s a travesty that such things occur at venues that are suppose to provide nothing but amusement and fun times for everyone.  I hope he recovers quickly, and on behalf of all Dodgers fans I truly apologize for what happened to him on that day.

So many things make me sick to my stomach when I think about the incident.  Why?  Because this is bigger than baseball, this is bigger than the Dodgers and the Giants.  This is the true depiction of what our society is evolving into (I use the word evolve loosely because we are truly going backwards as a people).  Fuck the bullshit, all shit aside, how can a fucken mob of people (truly that’s what it is when exiting the stadium) walking out of the stadium witness a person getting beaten and not ONE, not ONE, single person intervene to stop the assault?   That’s what truly makes me sick.  Shame on you people who would just stand by and let another person be treated in such a manner.  Shame on you for not stepping in. 

I’ve had enough.

Japan Hit Again By 7.4 Earthquake


Facts

Shortly after 11:30 p.m. local time (10:30 a.m. ET), a 7.4 earthquake rattled Japan yet again. As you can see in the picture, the map highlights the 9.0 quake which struck off the coast of Japan back in March, and it shows the one which hit today.

My Take

At this point, I don't really know what to think. I mean, has this truly been happening for years, but now that we have more media than ever - we're now privy to finding things out within seconds of anything happening? Is this just "mother nature" at its best or is this all part of God's master plan - whatever that may be?

I don't know, but I feel sad for Japan and at the same time, I remain worried about those of us who live in California. So much activity going on in the "ring of fire", it's a constant reminder that those of us who do live on the West Coast - we truly need to be ready.  It's all very ominous.

Sony "Anonymous" Hackers At Large

Bottom Line: Sony filed a lawsuit against two hackers and in an outrage, the hacker community self titled "Anonymous" has pledged to make Sony's life a living hell. Consequently, by proving their point, they also affect millions of PlaySation Network users - users like myself!

In a statement issued by the group, they went on to say:

"there has been a lot of hate spread throughout the internet and over the forums that we are being reckless and simply punishing consumers more than Sony. To the consumers I would say: before you judge us, take the time to understand us."

Umm...I'm pretty sure there isn't much to understand. I cannot log in to play Socom 4, due to you proving a point to Sony for utilizing the courts to their advantage, much like any other person in the United States can do when they feel they have a case (justifiable or otherwise). And as such, I like millions others are unable to play a game which has a window of about 8 days only to BETA test. 

What is left to understand?

At the end of the day folks, Anonymous feels people should be able to hack and jailbreak their own consoles as they please; after all, Apple fought the same case with their phones - and lost as it was deemed NOT illegal to hack. Sony on the other hand has banned people's accounts for hacking and jailbreaking. It's their console, it's their rules - right?

Well, "Anonymous" doesn't seem to think so.

So here is the real question I pose for you guys, did Anonymous REALLY cause the servers to be shut down, or did Sony take them down to protect themselves and gain support against Anonymous?

You be the judge, but I'd love to hear your thoughts for sure.

Planet Mercury! Amazing!


Just thought everyone should check out this picture of the planet Mercury.  It's really quite beautiful.  It's crazy thinking about how far our technology has come in just a few decades!

Keep doing what you do NASA.

Would you space travel if you had the opportunity?

A $4 million dollar fake!!!

Rueters
A Mayan relic sold for $4.1 million dollars at an auction on Monday in Paris. An official from the Mexico National Institute of Anthropology and History contacted the auction house to advise them that is piece and 66 others were fakes. For some reason the statue was still sold.

I would think if someone was going to pay that kind of money for something they would have their own experts come in and look at it. Then again, this buyer may have more money than they know what to do with.

At&t buys T-Mobile!!

Is this a good thing or not?

The First Gentleman

OK, we have had a minority president so what is next.  Could we have our first female president?  I got to thinking about this and started wondering what the duties of the First Gentleman would be. 

The First Gentleman. It makes sense, I guess, since gentleman is the counterpart to lady in the expression "ladies and gentlemen." It just sounds so funny, but a little classy too, right? If I was the First Gentleman, I doubt I would be a total Gentleman.  I am sure I would take advantage of my position and get tickets to all the great sporting events and concerts. 

It got me thinking, what I would be like if asked to be our nation's first First Gentleman. At first thought, I think I'd be a freeloading, silly, jokester, who would try and entertain and lighten the mood at all state functions.  I would also engage in some other interesting endeavors . . .

1. I would nag my wife constantly until she created a new cabinet position and appointed me either Secretary of Rock or Secretary of Sports. Either one would be cool and they have a nice ring to it! First Gentleman or not, somebody should appoint me to that post, because I'd be awesome at it. I think I'd have to dress the part, like maybe a Vince Neil or David Lee Roth look for the Rock Post and I could wear a different Sports Jersey everyday for the Sports Post.

If I deemed something too crappy, sucky and/or pathetic, I would launch a formal investigation and scrutinize chumps who claim they are rock like Justin Bieber and Maroon 5. One too many "nays" from my committee, who would be all appointed by me, and most likely would consist of my best buddies, and Maroon 5 would be banished from the rock world.

And I could finally take golf off of the list of sports.  It would be official because I would get it passed! 

2. Since some past First Ladies have championed women's rights, maybe I  could be a strong fighter of Man's Rights. Here would be some of my Man's Rights causes:
A) I would have the Lorena Bobbit decision over-turned. I mean, yeah, the guy is an abusive moron and a lousy excuse for a human being, but did he deserve to have his willie lopped off? Maybe so, but should she have gotten away scott free? I demand some punishment, because it's setting a dangerous and downright scary, especially if you're a man who values his private parts, precedent. I mean the guy was wrong, but that is just going too far.  That is worse than the life in prison!  To avoid such a precedent, I would have her serve one day in prison or one day fluffing Ron Jeremy, whichever she wants, both punishments being equal.
B)How about a two hour period of time in which a wife is not allowed to talk to her husband, like during an important ball game, as if he could hear half of what she's saying then anyway . . .
C)It would be required that every mall in the United States would have to have a Sports Bar in it.  Guys need a place to go and relax while the wives are spending all of our money! 

What do you think should be added to the Man's Rights list?  I am sure I will think of more.  As a matter of fact, I think I need to start work on a Man's Bill of Rights.  Stay tuned...
