Who Killed The Electric Car?

As I read the news about the auto makers industry needing a possible bailout, I cannot help but recall this DVD I watched awhile back.

If you have any doubt that we should have had electric cars already, and have wondered whether the idea of cars fueled by electricity has been swept under the rug by the very companies who need help now, take a look at this DVD.

Who Killed The Electric Car? is a great documentary, and you will nejoy it if you are looking for info on this fascinating topic.



Here is the brief description I read before watching it:

In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline. Ten years later, these futuristic cars were almost entirely gone. What happened? Why should we be haunted by the ghost of the electric car?

Do yourself a favor and educate yourself about elecric cars, why we should already have them and how they were swept under the rug so Hummers could be sold.

Lots of cameo appearances by movie stars who owned prototypes of the cars and loved them! Martin Sheen, Mel Gibson and more.

Hefner or Hubbard?

I am having a bit of political overload this morning, so I jumped into the Entertainment news and found this.

In the news today, it seems one of Hugh Hefner's rental girlfriends has decided to break up with him. After seeing this picture of an aging Hefner, I could not help but notice the strange resemblance to Scientology creator Lafayette Ron Hubbard, or L. Ron as Tom Cruise calls him.



Which is which? I cannot tell.

From Fox News...

Despite Hugh Hefner’s claim to Pop Tarts at the recent FOX REALLY Awards that he and his three leading ladies are all still an item, his number one gal Holly Madison is getting ready to bunny-hop into the "real world."

A well-placed inside source confirmed to Pop Tarts that the couple recently ended their romantic relationship and have been sleeping in separate bedrooms. And Madison herself told TMZ on Monday that she and Hef "aren't together."

But despite reports to the contrary, 28-year-old Madison is still living at the iconic Holmby Hills mansion.

"She’s putting plans in place to move out, and she still hangs out with Hef at movie night and things like that, but she doesn’t sit next to him anymore," said our source, adding that Holly will most likely leave her job in art direction at Playboy when she eventually moves out.

Sounds like any other break up. She is still hanging around, living in the mansion, but she is going to leave one day. LOL

Hefner is the winner here.

OJ Simpson Guilty (Again)

I'm reading the news, having my coffee this morning... looks like they've found OJ Simpson guilty again.



The Los Angeles Times says...

A jury convicted O.J. Simpson of armed robbery and kidnapping late Friday night, 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles.

Simpson and his codefendant, Clarence Stewart, were both convicted on all 12 counts. As the court clerk read "guilty" 24 times shortly before 11 p.m., Simpson grimaced and then nodded slightly, quickly regaining his composure. From the gallery, his sister, Carmelita Durio, wept on a friend's shoulder.

Acquitted of killing his ex-wife Nicole, but found guilty for stealing some old football cards, and a football he signed 25 years ago? LOL

According to the Associated Press...

Nine men, including O.J. Simpson, were involved in an armed robbery on Sept. 13, 2007, in a cramped Palace Station casino hotel room. Six were initially charged in the case. Four pleaded guilty to lesser crimes and testified for the prosecution, along with the two victims and the man who arranged the meeting.

I know if I was OJ Simpson I would stay away from anything even remotely considered a "crime."

Howard Stern Marries Beth Ostrosky

After vowing never to marry after his first divorce, Howard Stern has fell prey to the lure of fake blond hair and artificial breasts and has married Beth Ostrosky. I assume, Beth Stern now?



On the David Letterman show, Howard Stern said of his flip flop regarding a second marriage: "I'm a hypocritical liar, as you know," Stern said. "Things change, love happens, love blossoms."

While we know it must be hard to actually find someone who likes them for who they are, one has to wonder about the prenuptial agreement in marriages like this. Girls who have no career or wealth of their own, marries a guy who has worked for decades acquiring his wealth.

Then again, let's face it, Howard is not looking for a woman to cook for him, or raise his children. Celebritity wives do not have to be burdened by things such as: cooking, kids, or anything important. Just sit back, look very pretty and go shopping! So I am sure Howard has picked the right girl here.

I'm not bashing Howard at all, but you just know 100% of the women in his life, are just after his money...

Regarding The Images On This Site

This morning I wanted to drop a quick post regarding the images used on this web site.

Unlike many sites out there, each and every image used on this site is created, altered, and produced by me. I use official government photos and public domain images on the Internet to make them. Many sites simply steal images from other sites to display on their own, but I choose to create each image for my site so people who view or read my pages get unique and creative content.



You are free to link to these images and share them online, however the site url on the image is not to be removed. If you link them from your own blog be sure to also enclose a link to this site. I spend a lot of time on these and wish to retain creative control and credit for these humorous and satirical photos.

Heather Locklear Gets DUI

What would a weekend be without someone out on a good binge of pills and booze?

*drum roll* Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Heather Locklear was arrested last night in Santa Barbara, California for suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication.

Earlier in the day she was reportedly seen "driving erratically" and she was found parked on a state highway blocking a lane of traffic. LOL

Here's the Heather Locklear mugshot:



Heather Locklear, while not really being known for doing anything herself other than modeling makeup and taking roles in terrible movies, was married to Tommy Lee of Motley Crue and as of the last decade or so been breeding with Richie Sambora from the band Bon Jovi. Sambora and Locklear divorced last year.

Why I Stopped Watching Television

People often get a puzzled look on their face when I tell them I have not "watched television in years." As of right now, it's been over three, however last night considering the "Presidential Debate" was set to air at 9 pm EST, I debated with myself whether to watch it on traditional television or simply broadcast it from my laptopto my HDTV.

After taking my shower I had approximately thirty minutes until the debate was set to begin. "Time to make the popcorn," I shouted to my wife. "Since it's the presidential debate, maybe I'll just watch it on the HDTV instead of streaming it online tonight," I thought to myself as the popcorn began to pop. I grabbed the remote and flicked the television "on."

What popped on my screen was a television show called "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" THIS is what is on until the debate? It got me thinking about the intelligence of those who would be tuning in. The people glued to the tube for this show actually vote??

Without going too deep into it, a few ironic facts came to me as I sat staring into what would be a moment of clarity that would help to explain my against-the-grain mindframe when it comes to sitting in front of a television.

The first thought that popped into my head was, "how did you might be a redneck if Jeff Foxworthy land this job?" This guy has spent his entire career dumbing down the same rednecks who actually buy into his humor, now he gets to host a show that basically touts 5th graders as smarter than the average mom or dad who attempts at outsmarting the kids on this show.

The second was the first and only question I could actually sit through before flicking the "input" selector button on the TV remote to "PC" so I could stream the debate via the internets.

The question was: "If you are in Mexico and you begin walking West, which body of water will you encounter?"

The dad looked as if he was just asked the hardest question in the world, the kid at the other podium simply wrote down a single word answer and looked forward toward the camera. "Dad" sat there puzzled not knowing what to do, or what to answer... "Pacific you idiot!" I shouted at the television.

The dad chose not to answer the question and instead pull one of his lifelines, a "cheat" which allows him to see the kids answer and if he agrees with the child, he can use the answer as his own. Needless to say, the kid wrote down "Pacific" as his answer and the dad was forced to swallow his ignorance before the audience and even Jeff Foxworthy looked puzzled that anyone could not know which ocean is on the west of our country. However, this is exactly the intelligence quotient of the people on this show, and no doubt of those who actually watch this type of garbage.



Do yourself a favor, don't waste any more of your life watching these shows, stop watching reality television (it's not real anyway), and please make your children go outside and play instead of watching this stuff. I know it's hard to get kids to read books, but try to find creative ways to stimulate your child into cherishing their education more than entertainment.

Shows like this are the exact reason I stopped watching television so many years ago. I will admit that after being forced to mandatorily evacuate for Hurricane Gustav I had to watch the weather forecast and location of the storm as it hit our area causing much damage, but I would consider that a permissible wavering of my "no television" diet. We were without electricity for almost a week, and I had no choice but to follow the news to see what was happening in regards to the storm, the internet was down long before the power went out. But other than that, I really do not watch television at all. It has been years and everytime I catch a glimpse of the programming I am reminded as to why I stopped watching television and now spend all my personal entertainment time online.

The debate turned out to be somewhat entertaining, a bit of a let down as I expected a bit more one on one. Hopefully in the next debate they will direct answers and rebuttals to each other instead of addressing the moderator as much. But overall, I feel Obama made the best showing, McCain was condescending and came across as a grumpy old man casting blame and accepting none as the Bush policies he has backed are somewhat responsible for the state of our country instead of listing examples of answers to our problems.

Obama also addressed McCain as "John," while John referred to Obama as "Senator Obama." McCain did not make eye contact with Barack, even as Obama continuously looked in his direction.

David Blaine LOL Money

When someone calls David Blaine a magician, your response should be "What does he do that is magic?" Because hanging upside down for 60 hours isn't exactly magic, nor is the bungy jump he called the Dive of Death. Listen, people bungy jump every day in America, this doesn't make you a magician.

Now what Gandalf does in Lord of The Rings, now that is magic!

Actually, what David Blaine does is heavily promoted stuntman work. He does not magic. Suspending yourself above a city, while possibly terrifying and definitely taking some willpower, looks cool and makes him a lot of money, it doesn't exactly equate to magic. In fact, nothing he has done in a very long time could ever be considered magic by anyone calling themself a "magician." He is a stunt man, nothing more. He just happened to find a way to make a lot more money at his trade than the guys who used to dive off the rooftops in Old Hollywood Westerns.

Which brings me to the point, David Blaine is the real winner here. He makes a lot of money, and I mean A LOT. In fact while he is hanging up there during the night in the cold city breeze, I can only imagine the thoughts going through his head as he dangles there... "lol money, money lol."



I am sure that is the extent to what keeps David Blaine focused while he is performing his latest "trick." Thousands of spectators flock to see it, millions or so tune in on television, most are let down, millions of dollars roll in via advertising revenue, and Dave just keeps thinking to himself... "lol money, money lol."

Internet street creds to YT - lol money bro.

Clay Aiken & Lindsay Lohan Are Gay

If there was ever a winner, it would be someone who makes a choice to be themself no matter the cost. However, these two take the cake...Clay Aiken has hid the fact he was gay (albeit not very well) and Lindsay Lohan has been known to be a party girl and man-chaser.

Instead of debating Lindsay's new choice to prefer women over men and wasting our breath showing countless examples of why Clay has been gay the whole time we've been blessed with his presense, we will just take their word for it, and congratulate them on their choice to reveal their sexual orientation to the world, as if we care... wait we do.



Clay Aiken has a few albums out that have titles that clearly have mixed meanings,... such as: "Measure of a Man," and "A Thousand Different Ways." Lindsay Lohan on the other hand, I'm still not sure what she has ever done, but we love her anyways.

The Internets is a perfect place for celebrities like these two and we are happy for them, exiting the closet is the first step to being yourself, and that always makes you a winner.
