Halloween

No one wants to buy anything, according to CNN. 

The article quoted Adam York, an economic analyst at Wachovia Economics Group, as stating from a research note, "Consumers certainly appear to think the sky is falling."   

I know I haven't stopped shopping, but a part of my brain feels weary of my finances in light of the current and progressively worrisome economic issues. Should I be more mindful of my mind seeing as the hording mentality is partially responsible for The Great Depression. 

Gas prices have gone way done to try and stimulate commerce, which in turn pissed off the people struggling to buy gas to survive. I take no offense to people save their money instead of spending. I take offense to a government that got us into this problem and is now begging the rest of America to fix their mistakes. I understand this to be counter-productive. I understand this to be foolhardy and a waste of energy, but civic duty falls short in a trickle down effect from the top. It's not a cyclical system of influence as poli sci classes would have you believe.

Alpha Dog of the Week

"Mark Ciptak names his newborn baby daughter Sarah McCain Palin behind his wife's back."

It's way better than Ava Grace. On the Colbert Report, the Alpha Dog of the Week name his kid for the sake of political campaign.

Artfully manscaped chests are way better for expressing support.

I dare say, I learn more from watching Colbert Report and The Daily Show. It's what I love about our country, the things they mock.

Ron Paul Interview
Bob Barr Interview

Green Screen
Bill O'Reilly Interview

Extreme close up of Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin is best for pretty, not for merit.

Please make sense of this

Journalism is anti-math. It just is. So why is there so much sudoku? Apparently it's a Japanese games stemming from a Swiss mathematician, or at least that's what the MSNBC Website says.

Let's seem if I can handle this (being a person netoriously horrible at math to the point of losing a certain Winn-Dixie possible thousands of dollars for incorrect change).

The stereotypical japanese music fails at producing claim. So... typing in random number produces a teleportation of said number across the board. I'm pretty sure this doesn't happen in the hand written version. Paint me confused. I hate this game.

To prove you are infinitely wiser and more skilled than me try it for yourself.

Chicken Town

I declare Oviedo shall now be know as Chicken Town. Oviedo has a great little to allow free range chickens to rule the city. I'm convinced they're organized. One day as I innocently waited at a red light, a bleary eyed chicken flew into my car window. Stunned, the chicken walked away. Stunned, cars honked and drives yelled obscenities as I attempted to calm down.

To be considered an inclusion to the madness, the local Kiwanis club held a charity event to raise money for the local gym and aquatic center utilizing wooden chickens in a form of racing.

Inspired I decide to look up more articles about chickens and came up with a story by Kelly Allen that mentioned the fact that all the chickens like to hang out at Popeye's.

It doesn't get any better than that.
