Cranial Crap Award – March 8

duck — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 02:18:47 +0000

This week’s “My Cranial Cavity is Full of Bricks and Sh*t” award goes to Sean McManus of CBS news. It seems that the CBS News with Katie Couric had slipped too far away from vanilla since coming on the air. He stated something about being ‘consistent enough so that every night you know what to expect from the CBS evening news’…

Here’s to Sean “Give Em Vanilla, I don’t care what they say, I know their favorite flavor is plain old vanilla” McManus….

What’s next… creating the news to ensure that there are no “surprises”?

Quack!

Cranial Cavity Award – February 28

The current “My Cranial Cavity is Full of Bricks and Sh*t” award (the inaugural winner by the way) is the City Council for the City of Largo Fla.

It seems that the City Manager, who has done a “commendable” job for the past 14 years has been canned. The reason?

According (in an AP report earlier today) to Commissioner Mary Gray Black, who moved forward with the resolution to fire the City Manager, his decision to undergo a sex-change operation suddenly invalidated all the years of good works and benefits to the city… destroyed integrity, trust, and respect…

I guess she’s saying that the best way to destroy integrity, trust and respect is to be honest with yourself…

The way the world is going… it looks like we’ll be giving out the “Cranial Crap” award on a regular basis.

Quack!

Freedom – Not Just for Rednecks Anymore (part 1)

Blog Admin — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:59:59 +0000

In the memorabilia I’ve kept for many, many years, there is a distorted slug. I think it’s .45 caliber, but it might be a little slower. Nearly 40 years ago, in 1969, that bullet flew past my head, with a message… yelled from a hundred yards away. “You can’t talk like that! This is America!” (I think I’d just finished singing a couple of verses of Country Joe McDonald’s “Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die Rag.”

Huh? If anything, in America we CAN talk like that. That’s what FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ALL ABOUT!

If you want to see something scary, Google the word “Freedom” sometime. The good part is great links to quotes from people like Dr. Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Rudy Guiliani… Then, then, then, then there are the flag adorned hate sites. The people who truly believe in their hearts that Freedom is something reserved for people who are light-skinned, who speak only English (maybe with a drawl).

Oh, well….

More on this one later. The medium makes it far too easy to rant. And none of us want to go there.

Peace, Love, Wow!
