I was Just wondering........

I see that Al Gore was in the news last week presenting a speech from Copenhagen, urging business leaders from 500 companies to push for some sort of global warming agreement to curb pollution. He said, "Mother Nature does not do bailouts." Clever aint it! He also said, "But there is good news, because the world's business community is beginning to respond," and then concluded by saying that Global Warming was working swimmingly for him, since he's made hundreds of millions dollars since sounding this crazy clarion call. OK, that last part he didn't say, but it is nonetheless true. This got me to thinking? Do you think if Al Gore's head exploded.....

gorgonzola cheese would spill out from his cranial cavity?

The NBA Cares......

I'm watching the NBA conference finals. The match ups are quite good and I see from watching the commercials that the "NBA Cares" and I'm sure they do -- as if the rest of us schmucks don't! Next the NBA is going to come out against cancer -- but I digress. I can't help wondering though if maybe the NBA should care more about their on-court image? Is this really the face of the League that NBA is after?

















There is something that says self-loathing to me when a guy treats his body like a doodle pad.

What does it say about a league that is full of doodle pads? Maybe the league should hold classes to incoming rookies attempting to elevate their self-esteem and warning them on the dangers of looking like this.



























As a side note, the NBA could pass on to my black brothers that due to small contrast in skin and ink colors that tattoos don't look that great on them. Sorta looks like an angry 3 year got to them with a sharpie while they slept.

However, I would like to give a shout out to Dwight Howard for not giving in this lemming like behavior to spiro-graph his body.

To me there is no comparison on which athlete looks best

What's For Dinner?

I have a cat... or rather there is a cat that resides in our house. Her name is Micah --- Mike for short. She's cute and cuddly see here for proof. I was poring her cat food "Seafood Sensations" into her bowl the other day when I noticed what was on the menu in said cat food including this tantalizing description. "Each crunchy, tasty bowlful comes alive with enticing aromas, appealing shapes and an ocean of flavor". Are cats enticed by shapes? Anyway, here is the menu:

• Ocean Fish Flavor
• Albacore Tuna Flavor
• Salmon Flavor
• Yellowfin Tuna Flavor
• Crab Flavor
  

And the all time favorite cat ingredient:

• A Touch Of Seaweed

My first thought on reading this was

"What, no Blackened Swordfish Flavor?!"

How does Mike cope? The good folks at Purina must really love to eat sushi -- or think that we do. In Purina's defense the pantheon of seafood-like flavors seems to work for my cat since you could put a piece of real albacore tuna sans the "flavor" in front of her and she would turn her nose up at it. In all seriousness, anything resembling fish-like substance in the cat food is listed way down the list of ingredients after potassium chloride, so I'm thinking Mike loves the ground yellow corn as much (if not more) as the salmon meal flavor, let alone the "touch" of seaweed.

Bon Apetit

Obama Wants the Economy to Tank: reason #98734

So, Pres. Obama is upping the ante on CAFE standards -- raising it 35.5 MPG by 2016.

35.5 MPG! (Why not make it an even 40?)

That is higher than the EPA city estimate of 33 MPG that the Smart Car currently attains. A car that you couldn't fit a pregnant dachshund into.



It looks like they will have to trim a couple hundred pounds of wasted mass from this behemoth before we can approach CAFE certitude.

Seriously, what is the Prez thinking about with this ludicrous pronouncement of his? I will tell you one thing he is not thinking about -- and that's the recovery of of the US economy.

By commanding that fuel efficiency be raised to 35 MPG, he is telling car manufacturers to produce cars that nobody wants to buy, that will significantly raise the price of said cars even higher -- further depressing sales, and force the American people to drive cars that are less safe -- due to the fact that they will need to be made out of Styrofoam.

How does this help the auto industry and by extension the economy? It doesn't. It does just the opposite.

Thanks President Obama.
