Jennifer Hudson for Super Bowl MVP

Can a national anthem singer win the trophy? I think we need to consider it.

First off, she was smart enough to have a musical track instead of the idiotic trend of singing acappella. The music was creative, but not too weird. She kept it traditional but added her touch.

And in the midst of pain she's probably feeling because of the recent deaths in her family, she still came out and executed beautifully. I hope my singers were taking notes.

What's with the picture?

I have this picture first on my profile. So of all the pictures I could've picked, why that one?

It best captures my look on human achievement. We started out just like every other animal. Look at what we've been able to accomplish. We've taken this ish over. We've been able to accomplish just about every thing we've put our minds to.

We wanted to live longer; now our life span has nearly tripled. We wanted to communicate with each other better; we developed the alphabet and can now communicate anywhere on earth. We used to attempt to find food as if it was our sole purpose; now we have the technology to barely consider where our next meal will come from.

Whatever we wanted, there was an individual's mind that imagined a solution, and got to work.

We used to have to wait for daylight to do work, and wait for nightfall to be able to rest easy. Now we control the light. One day we might even be able to control the sunrise itself.

A human's finger pushing down on the sun is the perfect way to show how we've been able to use nature to do what we want.


Post script: John Mayer's song goes perfectly with the photo.


Gravity is trying to hold us down. But it wasn't strong to stop us from flying not only into the sky, but even to the moon.

The religious dreamed of going into the sky after they died. Man's imagination said why wait? If heaven is in the clouds above. Let's fly higher than heaven. The religious conveniently switched their belief after they saw that we can accomplish that. Now they say heaven is in another dimension. I wonder where they'll say heaven moved to once we've discovered the other dimensions.

But Why is he Wrong?

I will forward my response to a question about my last post.

The question regarded my support for the banking bonuses in the midst of the economic turmoil.

Pierre's answer:
If there was a man who personally made a trillion dollars last year. And unemployment went up to 50%; foreclosures up to 70%. And he gave no one any money; no assistance, no charity, no help.

And he spent all his money on wild parties, golden toilets, and yachts, I'd be okay with it.

Why? Because it's HIS money.

If a government official came to his home and tried to touch one cent of it, outside of the amount they already plunder through taxes, he should kill that official immediately.

When a company like Goldman Sachs makes good investments and pays its CEO $68 million because he created billions in revenue and shareholder value, I'm happy. I'm excited for them and for him. He would have been paid more if it was my choice. But it's not my choice, it's theirs.

I think Carmello Anthony should be paid less to play basketball. But I support the team's right to make that decision. It's not about what I would do in a situation, it's about someone's right to spend their money on what they think is best. It's not my choice, it's theirs.

I don't think the democrats really agree that it's other people's money. I think the Left really feels like it's partly their money that's being made by everyone. And therefore we as a community, should limit their pay. They think we, as a collective, should decide how much bonus to give them. And that we should decide how the company's money should be spent.

I just want to scream from the mountain tops, "My money is not made for the government, it's not made for the children in Africa, it's not made for anyone but me!"

Obama has no right to decide how much any American gets paid. He has no right to decide what any American should do with their lives; and no authority to decide what any of us should do with our money.

You're Wrong Mr. President

One thing​ I don'​t like about​ Obama​,​ other​ than the fact that he's a liber​al socia​list,​ is that he capit​ulate​s to publi​c opini​on as his m.o.

His lates​t is the banki​ng bonus​ buzz in the midst​ of the bailo​ut bonan​za (​allit​.​ anyon​e?​)​.​ He says it's "​shame​ful"​ that banke​rs got $18 billi​on dolla​rs in bonus​es last year.​

That'​s how they get paid!​ Part salar​y,​ part commi​ssion​,​ part bonus​.​ The bonus​es are part of their​ pay packa​ge.​ Not all of them sell deriv​ative​s,​ sir. If I sold respo​nsibl​e inves​tment​s and made the compa​ny money​,​ I shoul​d get a bonus​,​ perio​d.​

I won'​t give up my pay becau​se the idiot​s downs​tairs​ made bad inves​tment​s.​ And I would​n'​t expec​t a bank to do any diffe​rent.​

The sad part is that he knows​ the truth​.​ It's just an unpop​ular opini​on for a polit​ician​ to have.​ Which​ is exact​ly why I don'​t trust​ him. Q.​E.​D.​

Watch Fedor Tonight

Fedor Emelianko(sp?) is the devil. He's the most dominant fighter in the world. Pure-bred killer. He's from somewhere in Europe and is the most feared fighter overseas. Too bad Americans haven't really been properly introduced to him. He'll come by here soon enough.

My fear is that he'll be too old by the time we really see him fight around here. He's been at it for a long time. It'd be a shame for our audiences to just catch the tail end of this legend's skills.

Watch him tonight on Affliction.

Must Joe Biden be so creepy

I'm glad no one really pays attention to Joe Biden says. He goofs, hems, haws, and screws up most of his sound bites.

But that's not the worst of it. He's so weird sometimes and it creeps the hell out of me.

Kissing Sons

I guess it's sort of okay to kiss your grown son sometimes. But that's more of a family gathering kind of thing. And even then you have to do that mafia style kiss behind the ear thing where the lips don't really touch the cheeks.

But that ain't Joe's style. He gives all his kids wet smooches in public, boy or girl, old or young. And it's kind of weird.

Touchy Feely with the Commoners

He grabs and prods well-wishers in such a creepy way. I saw video of him rubbing some lady's shoulder while he talked to her. Then he proceeded to put his hands on her face and start rubbing her cheeks. I'm sure she wanted out by that point. But then he did the uber-creepy passing of the back of the fingers across her face. Joe, step away from the poor lady!

There is a line of public decency Mr. Vice President. I think we have another Dan Quayle ready to give us laughs for four years. Cheers Joe!

It's Really Happening

Mr. President. Wow, I'm going to have to get used to calling you that, and you'll have to get used to it too. But you've made it. America is behind you. The whole world is cheering you on. The burdens of our country have been squarely placed on your shoulders. And all I can say is "Don't screwed it up buddy!"

Your pal George had the same support after 9/11, and we all know how that turned out.

I'm not saying to make decision based on making everyone happy; sometimes people hate you because your decisions are tough, and sometimes your ideas just suck--I hope you can tell the difference.

Best of the year Series

The number Four Book of the Year:



Free Lunch, David Kay Johnston.

This book pissed me off, and I guess that was the point. So much of our money gets wasted, misspent, and just plain stolen from the national treasury.

Johnston researched the way pro-sports owners take money to build their stadiums on our dime. How favor from Washington can mask, and sometimes award destructive behavior that threatens the lives of innocents.

The things that this book talks about is the reason why people feel that capitalism needs to be reined in. Law enforcement can't control the corruption. It goes too deep. So liberals conclude that we must regulate. I know we all hate when the liberals are right, but how can we argue against that one?

Our country is being destroyed by the marriage between Washington and Wall Street. I don't trust them. None of us do.


(Link to talk with Bill Moyers here)

Honey, You're going out in that?

Who dressed Michelle Obama? Every other important woman looked the part, she looked like a dull mustard nightmare.

I'm not a fashion whiz, but I think I know what ugly looks like.

If I was Barack, I'd say, Uh, no... you're not going out in that. I'm not getting sworn in to office standing next to Big Bird. So why don't you peck your tall ass upstairs and put on something nice.

You know its bad when your ten-year old looks more presidential than you do.

Best of Last Year Series

I saw some great movies and read some good books last year. I'll spread them out over the next few posts until I get to number one.

Fifth place.


War and Decision, Douglas Feith.

Caution: you'll look at the war differently after reading this book. So if you don't want your beliefs challenged, stay away!

I've heard much of the left-wing's take on Iraq, but this was the first time I heard from someone inside the Pentagon. Doug Feith worked with the White House to make policy on Iraq. War and Decision shook up most of what I believed about the war.


It's harder to blame Bush for everything after realizing how complex the problems were. Feith shows patiently, and clearly how the democrats are wrong for saying that the neo-cons were hell-bent on war, and lied to the country to get their evil plan in place.
