The Stink in Farts Controls Bloodpressure…

Hydrogen Sulfide…  I always thought I gave off methane… haha.   This evidently is given off by cells in your blood vessels… which helps relax them and lowers blood pressure…  interesting…to see where this leads…

http://www.livescience.com/health/081023-farts-blood-pressure.html

Now I can feel better about a big “paint peeler” fart….  Just lowering my blood pressure… the old fashioned way.

Props to Edythemighty for the scoop on this one.

Tina Fey Will Get the Republican Elected… Doh!

Could McCain shoot himself in the foot any better?  He has complimented “his opponent” like at least 5 times now.  Savage said a few days back that he had shot off all his toes and was standing on one hand now.

He won’t even try to deal with the 20 million invaders to the US.

He also voted (just like “his opponent”) to bail out the poor investments of others.. at tax payer expense.

He has Carly Fiorina on board… failed CEO..Buehler? anyone?

Enter Tina Fey.. as Sarah Pailn.

Savage thinks the averageness of Sarah Palin may save the ticket.

And Tina Fey pushes it right over the top… You betcha…  Joe Sixpack

Haha

Dude Farts on Cop

A guy farts on one of the cops during the fingerprinting process and gets additional charge of Battery on an Officer.

Props to Savage website which had a link to Fox news.   Well, at least we can giggle about something as the markets reel.

Obama Hussein Guevera Gets A on Speech… D on What’s Gonna Count

It felt kinda like watching how gracefully the Chinese executed the Olympics.   The pageantry was superb.   Unfortunately, you have to look no further than Nancy Pelosi’s “Fairness Act”, the “marriages” in San Fran, the 20 plus million invaders to the country that will still be here after the speech… prolly with better health care than me… what?

And still wondering where Jesse Jackson and Sharpton are… and when newly reprogrammed mommy will emerge.

Where did they do with Al Gore? haha   O yeah…  And then there’s Jimmy Carter that referred to Obama as… that boy?  What?

Still don’t wanna live in China or in that America… and hopefully straight Mex McCain will dump Carly Fiorina and grow some conservative values… yeah right.

Will seriously watch what Nader can put together this time….

Obama Picks Biden per Twitter

Then I went off to sleep… Something about VP’s and sleep.

Ok, I vote we take all the money they will waste campaigning and in Denver to go toward Liberal Democrat Bush’s debt and call this one for straight Mex McCain.

Wait, maybe McCain will pick even more interesting.

Mccain picks Col. Harlan Sanders…

A Few Words in Honor of Bernie Mac

Wow, what a terrible start to the day.  Just a few weeks ago that we lost George Carlin.  Now another comedy legend is gone.

His style was fresh and unique and will be missed.

Prayers go out to his family and friends.

Here’s the link where the Chicago Suntimes is reporting the news

Possible Side effects for this allergy medicine include… nosebleed or nasal sores. Nasal fungal infection, glaucoma, or cataracts may occur. Have regular eye exams. Do not spray in eyes.

Gee dad, maybe I can tough out those allergies one more summer…. http://www.veramyst.com/

There was one medicine a few years back that included “Gas with oily discharge” I have to look that one up. I think it was a medicine for erectile disfunction or hair loss… But hey

Our Crooked Ass Political System…

First the democrats in SC just decided that Stephen Colbert couldnt run because they said so…

Now the media and the debate promoters are trying to freeze out Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul from the Republican nominee process…

No Stimulus for You!… and others wait til May

Sadly, if you made less than $3000 in 2007, you will NOT get a dime under the current Stimulus package. These people are too poor to spend this on necessities?

Unemployment benefits that ran out…will stay run out.

Looks like the current version will give a tax Rebate of taxes paid up to $600 for singles now…..but you wont even get stimulated til May or June.

$50 billion in incentives for businesses to buy new equipment… (No, …..you have to put the equipment in a business still located in the US…yeah)

I keep hoping that I misread something on this….
Now it has to go through the House and Senate… Perhaps, some help for those making less than $3000 or with their unemployment depleted…

According to Theory…Spike Will Be Back Jan 12

Per the Myspace for the show, TalkShow with Spike Feresten will be back January 12, 2008 just as other Late night talk shows have done.

Im noting that this was from a corporate dude, just like the announcement about Spike on the New Years gig…. and NOT from Spike.

Im sure the politics and stress of the business side of the entertainment business and coming back without writers is not fun. Should be interesting…

Best of luck Spike!.
___________________

Show was man on the street stuff with Spike and promoting two FOX shows coming soon. (Game show..Moment of Truth which they demoed with a member of the audience. That was probably the funniest part of the show. The other was a new Terminator follow-up) Spike made the comment that they were reluctantly returning…and the announcement on the Myspace was from a corporate dude and not Spike. Im sure this whole thing is just awkward and ugly and opposite of the creative and fun that Spike would rather focus on. Uggh

…look around and see if some A-hole is sucking all the heat out of your room….

The water is probably already warmer than any heat they will suck out of the air in Sweden.

If there’s a physics guru out there, send me a comment convincing me I wanna spend my hard earned euros on this.

Malaysia to Make and Export…”Islamic” Cars

Sometimes news items just leap on the wordpress all by themselves… I guess the other cars of the world just didn’t have enough “bang” for the Buck ….. anymore.

I’m guessing they are using that Pinto design that was ahead of its time.

Looks like they will call this model…the “Proton”.. As names like..
“the Surge”,
“Boom”,
“Bam”,
“Terrorist” and
“Jihad”
were already taken by other car makers…

The features include (and as Dave Barry would say… I swear Im not making this up…)

Proposed by Iran, the collaboration would include installing features in automobiles such as a compass to determine the direction of Mecca for prayers, and compartments for storing the Quran and headscarves.
First link expired…

Colbert Screwed By SC Democrats…

So the elitest democrats can just see someone they don’t want on the ballot and just take a lil private vote and eliminate them? Really? Isn’t that corruption? Isn’t that illegal? O, I forgot, the democrats know what we need.

Where’s the bipartisan investigation into this corruption?

I think Stephen Colbert should kick it up a notch and run as independent so that honest citizens can show both parties the door.

Both parties assume that a Micheal Bloomberg or other independent can’t compete with their lobbyist and elitest monies.

Madam Chairman, the great state of South Carolina…

casts its 8 electoral votes for the next President of these United States….Stephen Colbert!

It will be quite interesting if this grass roots movement continues.

Both parties assume that a Micheal Bloomberg or other independent can’t compete with their lobbyist and elitest monies.

Barack Obama is Kin to America and You Can Too

What is the obsession about Barack Obama’s heritage? Saw his appearance a week or so back on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and when Jay asked about the newest geneology connecting him to Dick Cheney…

He replied that he wouldn’t be attending the family hunting expedition.

I thought he handled this distraction well.

So he’s kin to everyone… Now can we get back to letting this man and his family address real issues pertinent to the presidency… Mahalo…

Here is the first Barack Obama geneology distraction via CNN.

http://mrobvious.wordpress.com/2007/03/04/per-cnnbarack-obama-was-kin-to-who/

The title was a take off on the new book from legendary comedy guy Stephen Colbert.

CAFTA, NAFTA, Great!

I see a blip on a yahoo news about a CAFTA free trade agreement getting ready to be voted on in Costa Rica Sunday, October 7, 2007.

Already approved in the states? Really? After all the damage NAFTA has caused to US jobs and workers? Really? Where is our cracker jack media in reporting this? Oh, prolly Britney or Lindsay or Paris had more important stuff to distract us with.

Both parties continue to sell us down the F-ing river.

Demographic of the Patrons In One Business

Know your audience…Marketing101 meets Main St.

This one may vary depending on your location but this is the audience I saw in a particular business establishment.

- The elderly (various ethnicities)

- Latino immigrants (Central America and Mexico mostly)

- Wandering unsupervised teens and pre-teens (various ethnicities)

- Meth People (digital cameras always need litium batteries and oddly enough security cameras.

- People that want to return things without receipt and certainly without packaging and after 30 days. Uh no!

- Criminals – they actually just came in to steal (various ethnicities)

- Thuglike people that just look like they came to steal (various ethnicities)

- People that are off their meds, bipolar and other various mental health issues.

- Occassionally the homeless and vagrants

- Repeat customers (various ages and ethnicities) with money that are ready to buy

- People passing through that are from like Florida or Arizona and truck drivers that stopped at Walmart

It would be interesting to see this real world info in a company’s business plan. Instead, you always see the idealistic stuff of upper middle class and 18 to 35…kinda stuff.

In this case, the elderly, the latino, the travelers/truck drivers and repeat customers with money in hand kept this business thriving. Speaking some amount of spanish was very helpful.

As far as weird stuff:
One guy came in with a tattoo…on the side of his neck…that read (and I can’t make stuff up this good)…
“100% Honky”

…I rest my case.

I Call for a Dapper Daniels’ tribute to Larry Craig

I submitted this to “Talkshow with Spike Feresten as a comment, as a bulletin and here. Hopefully SF will actually see some of my ideas like this one.
_______________________________________

My skit suggestion for season 2, Talkshow with Spike Feresten

Opening scene, our quartet friends in colorful customary regalia, each parked on his own throne (think bathroom displays at a Home Depot/Lowes) side by side….
Camera pans toward the floor as foot tapping becomes obvious…

…camera pans up as they start a happy tune.

…camera pans far right and down as we notice another shoe tapping away…

Hey, officer Bob from the airport police coming by to sing along…

Then a voice off camera… can I get you all some ice tea and cookies?
…Hi, Chris Hanson from Dateline….

Then the festivities are interupted by lots of loud whistles and lots of police and they drag away the Dapper Daniels…..awwwwww

Spike, run with this one and give me a plug before/afterward.

Ok, One More Time…What Happened That Was Illegal?

Senator Larry Craig of Idaho has gotten a more than generous coverage in the media this week….as Paris Hilton, Nicole Richey and Lindsay Lowhan breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Did I miss it? What did he actually do that was illegal? He pled guilty to a disorderly conduct charge? Allegedly he had solicited sex in an airport men’s room in Minneapolis? The “solicitation” amounted to patting his foot and putting his hand just over the sacred stall divider demarcation line on the floor? And this was supposed to be some kind of gay gang sign of wink wink nudge nudge,,,,know what I mean…say no more? that the officer in the next stall received and said…Oh no you didnt…Come with me!

So, suddenly I’m assessing a bad Monty Python sketch from the 1970’s?

In the cnn.com article, reporter Dan Popkey was quoted as saying about the event…., “We have no hard evidence.”

http://edition.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/29/craig.arrest/?imw=Y&iref=mpstoryemail

That was one of several double entendre phrases that made me giggle this week. I think we are all glad about not having hard evidence…great….another Youtube video.

And in the next article, the officer has arrested about a dozen men for making this undescribed (tape said his hand was palm up, k) “hand gesture” since joining the airport police force in 2000. Really? Aren’t there bigger fish to fry after 911? Aren’t there sinister looking people or items left unattended or people parked in a fire lane for the airport police to be checking on? No, this dude is hanging out in the men’s room watching for undescribed illegal hand gestures?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070830/ap_on_go_co/craig_arrest

… and the officer makes a comment that he expected this from people in the hood… Really? The next article from KTVB news had the text …

“I just, I just, I guess, I guess I’m gonna say I’m just disappointed in you sir,” Karsnia said. “I’m just really am. I expect this from the guy that we get out of the hood. I mean, people vote for you.”

…Really? Why is that again?

http://www.ktvb.com/news/localnews/stories/ktvbn-aug3007-craig_transcript.8638610a.html

And let me get this straight, if Senator Craig were to actually confess to being gay now, then we’d be tripping over ourselves to give equality to his life style, not to offend him and his guilt would be in not keeping his lifestyle at home?

And is the Minneapolis airport men’s restroom some famous place for a hook up? Aren’t there like 10 or 20 mens rooms in a major airport? How would you even know which one? Look for guys patting their feet as you pass stalls? So now, when I’m trying to take a much needed dump and I hear what sounds like a foot tapping or worse yet some hand crossing the demarcation line….Dude, I’m just trying to take a crap…Please.

By the way, what a great few months to work at the Minneapolis tourism bureau. “Come for our bridges…and stay for the restrooms….”

I can’t wait for the George Carlin and David Letterman comedy bits on this one.

More to come on this one…

This reminded me of a sketch on TalkShow with Spike Feresten.

Google ….return dapper ifilm
Then its “Return of the Dapper Daniels” on ifilm

Night After Night…with Alan Havey (Comedy Central…Old School)

A few words in tribute to a past talk show on Comedy Central hosted by Alan Havey circa 1990.

One of the things that stands out on this show was their unique format item called…”Audience of One” where someone on each show had a special seat for the show behind a theater style red velvet rope. There was an off stage side kick that would always say “Nice lady…” in the event the special audience member was a woman.

Looks like there is still a fan page for this at

http://www.nightafter.net/index2.php

The second thing I remember from this show was an interview with rocker Lita Ford (that I had seen recently in Atlanta at the Masquerade).

More on the Masquerade ..brush with greatness and Lita Ford (think Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and The Runaways) in another posting to come.
