I've got a birthday coming up.

Speak Ill Of The Dead

Yes, I do it from time to time. Today it's about Whitney Houston, dead at 48. I'm going to have to put up with days and days of eulogies, tributes, and memorials and endless talk of her "tragic death." Well, here's news for you: Her death wasn't tragic. Her death was stupid. She made the decision to do stupid things and died in a stupid way.

Oh, and maybe I'm the only one, but I didn't enjoy her singing. If I wanted to listen to someone yodel, I'd force myself to listen to Wanda Jackson.

Why Boing Boing Still Pisses Me Off

From time to time Boing Boing comes up with whimisical things that entertain me or in the case of my previous post, injustices that I feel need to be exposed as much as possible. But at the heart of Boing Boing is the pervasive Religion of Liberalism that embraces hypocrisy, cognitive disconnect and the parroting of talking points ad nauseam. (Something like NPR.) Here's a good example from Boing Boing:

The oldest thing in the world

The oldest living thing on Earth is a massive "meadow" of sea grass growing in the Mediterranean between Spain and Cyprus.

Wait for it. . .

It's somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 years old and reproduces by cloning itself.

Wait for it. . .

Also, it's being killed by climate change.

There it is! Never fails.

Today's Only Ones

I know some of y'all still defend the police and say that such actions are rare. I still feel that a culture of bullying, violence, and corruption is common in police forces. They do not protect and serve.

Nevada police beat the hell out of man immobilized with diabetic shock, screaming "Do not resist, motherfucker!"

Super Bowl Dumbassery

We've been having a rash of accidents near where I work the last few days. This is Michigan Street looking west through the West Street intersection along the "Super" route for the Super Bowl yesterday afternoon. As of this morning it's been fixed.

Cop or Soldier?

Interesting test. I failed miserably.

Practice Test

Our local officials are in a hurry to say they're ready:

Indianapolis Says It Passed Super Bowl Snow Test

Sorry, boys. If an inch and a half of blowing snow "challenged road crews," you're fucked. I grew up in Michigan, went to grad school in Wisconsin, and lived in the hills of Pennsyltucky for five years. I've seen snow. This was a dusting. Keep hoping.
