Get a Job!



This is priceless.

Stephen Baldwin has filed bankruptcy and now wants his fellow christians to send him money so that he can remain rich and continue to preach the gospel to the Hollywood pagans.

Yes, by clicking on restorestephenbaldwin.org, good christian folk can send this talentless hack their money to make sure he stays wealthy.

He claims that he has filed bankruptcy because he can't get hired due to his outspoken beliefs; I claim it is because he is a crap actor who only got jobs because he cashed in on his brother's fame.

Of course, I am just a mean-spirited pagan. Stephen thinks of himself as a modern-day Job, and this downturn in his life is because he is being tested. To prove all those nonbelievers wrong, he is asking for god to restore him via other people's money...just like Job.

I say he should restore himself by getting a job.

Say it with me Stephen, Do you want fries with that?

A pig in sheep's clothing






The news of the sheep-pigs at a U.K. zoo has sprung up all over the interwebs and other more outmoded forms of communication, like TV. I first saw them while watching Craig Ferguson last night.

Sheep-pig? Really? My first thought at naming the woolly hogs would have been...

Pigs-In-A-Blanket!!

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Taxing my patience



This recent article in the Economist show the mental block that the anti-tax folks have when it comes to their rage against taxes and government involvement in their lives.

The majority of people asked, would rather cut spending than raise taxes; but when asked what government programs they would cut too accomplish this, they couldn't come with any other than foreign aid.




I, being a leftist/liberal, would be happy if the defense budget was trimmed to pay for more of my socialist agenda.

But that's just me.

Of course, from the above poll, the majority doesn't seem to eager to cut those programs either.

Back To Work



Well. All good things must come to an end. I have to return to work tomorrow.

Damn that lottery! I had plans to win it during my 6 weeks off.

One can dream.

How To Train Your Dragon



Just wanted to take a moment to make sure everyone goes out and sees this absolutely wonderful movie. I'm not just saying that because Craig Ferguson voices one of the characters either; I'm saying it because the movie is worth seeing....more than once. I saw it in 2D and 3D and was thoroughly entertained both times.

It is a family movie with a great story and great characters. It's a buddy movie and more. Its about a boy and his dragon, a boy and his father and a boy and the girl he desperately wants to impress. Overall, it is a story about a boy who takes a stand against his village and their way of life.

Don't just take my word for it. Entertainment Weekly gave it an A-, and they are notoriously tough reviewers.

It was number one at the box office last weekend with a $43 million dollar take, but fell short of it's projected earnings and was said to be a disappointment for Dreamworks to the extent that their stock took a hit. I am hoping that word-of-mouth will improve it's box-office numbers. It deserves it.

Go see it today.... and tomorrow!
