It’s Cold

and I think I am leaving.

Snot

I had a post. It was a pretty good rant too. Oh well. Probably best that it didn’t get posted.

Not What I was Expecting

Let Go (The Space-Folk Version)

This is music for the space-folk version of  “Let Go,” a song Stacy wrote. It was my first attempt at Garageband which Stewie so generously let me use on her Macbook.

The final version will be more mellow, and not so sci-fi.

Opinion?

Ghostbusters vs. Ghostbusters

Some of you may recall that there were actually two totally unrelated Ghostbusters  Cartoons.
For your viewing pleasure, the intro to each.

So the real question is…

Feel free to discuss.

Private Jet Irony

I recall a few months ago, everybody was all up in arms that the “big 3″ took their private jets to D.C. to “ask” for bailout money. And that was really bad PR more than anything, totally their privaledge to do that. Not very good financial decision perhaps, but they aren’t responsible to/for me.

Today my President took Air Force One (not to mention the plane that carries his limo) to Canada.
The most economical version, B747-400 is $6,761 in operating costs per hour. His is a B747-200 and costs $8,424 per hour to run. The difference is that it runs on tax-payer money, not private sector money.  And as Americans he is responsible to/for us. It is just sad to me that we are more concerned, more entrenched in our idiotic wealth envy, by what private businesses do with their money, and we are more anxious to criticize them than we are willing to hold our own government accountable for how they spend and channel our own.

You want to read some modern prophesy? Read Atlas Shrugged. Also read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. It might be hard considering your primary source of reading is Twitter, People Magazine, and video game reviews. Zing!
