Punched!

Get Some Nuts!

Mr. T is accused of being a homophobe in his new ad. I didn't really see it until he started shooting the guy with a tank and calling him a fag.

Medical Breakthrough!

"I don't believe in charts and graphs. If I can't see it in my microphone, it must be smallern' hell. Also, I'm really a truck driver who murdered a scientist and stole his microscope. Teach him to science."

Brazil Rocks!

I was just reading this article about how Brazil is an awesome country with a growing economy and an emerging middle class! Yeah! I guess if this country goes down the toilet, then I can always go back to Brazil... A country on the upswing!

Jail

Jails are overcrowded everywhere, but especially here in the U.S. We have protection from cruel and unusual punishment in the Constitution, but does that mean jail has to be the answer to every crime? It seems cruel to me to put tax evaders and child rapists through the same system. But if we stop sending everyone to jail, we have to figure out some other method of punishing people for their crimes. Something fair and standardized, but not always JAIL. Cruel and unusual isn't synonymous with innovative. A fairer justice system would take into account the reality of our penal system, which is disproportionally punative for many crimes. We are a sophisticated modern society, but we lack any sophistication in the way we punish those who break society's rules. Once we find new ways, better ways, to punish certain crimes, the overcrowding of our prisons will decrease or desist, and we'll all be better off for it.

Coney Island

I'm going to Coney Island tomorrow. I've never been before, so I'm sure I'll enjoy myself. I'll bring back lots of pictures.

Just In Case You Wanted to See a Lion in a Sidecar...

Found this on some news website. Takes a moment for the eye to realize what a crazy pic it really is.

Graphic Requests

I'm currently taking graphic requests from anyone with any ridiculous ideas. One of my friends already requested one, so I'll post it here:


I think it turned out well. But, I didn't realize squirells were so racist.

Obama's Book

I'm reading Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope, and I have to say it's pretty good. Anyone who's ever wondered what he's all about as a candidate should give it a look. I started supporting him because I didn't like Hillary, but every time I saw him on TV I found myself agreeing with more of what he says, and liking the way he keeps his discourse from degenerating into the usual political shouting match. And if he's *really* anything like the person he paints himself as in this book, then I think he could become one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen. Unless, the Democrats manage to do what they're best at... snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. (don't remember who coined this phrase about the Democrats, but it wasn't me. ATTRIBUTION!!!)

Now that she's a terrorist, it's okay to make fun of her...

Yum-o, indeed!

What I do with my free time

Hello

I thought I'd ride the wave of the very recent past and start a blog. Throughout the day I see something or read something that pisses me off or makes me want to talk about it. So why not do it here? Hopefully I'll post something somewhat interesting soon.

For the Brazilians in the house...

Tudo bem? Tudo bom. Isso é meu blog novo. Espero que vocês vão gostar tudo que acham aqui. Bom dia, e vejo vocês mais tarde. Beijos e/ou abraços.

Joe
