How to Be Lame on July 4th →
Or you could just make a run for the border to Tennessee and get artillery shells and bottle rockets.  Your choice.  Choose not to be lame.  Please. Anyone who isn’t in danger on the 4th of July is lame in my book.  I am borderline pyro on this day.  My redneckness sure does shine through.

Pirate Hunting Yacht Cruises →
Is this is what capitalism has come down to? Russian yachts are offering “pirate hunting cruises” off of the coast of Somalia in hopes of being attacked.  Tourists can pay $5k to patrol and $7.50/day to hold an AK-47, with $10/round of ammo.

MJ dies, almost takes Internet with him →
“Irony: The protesters in Iran using Twitter as com are unable to get online because of all the posts of ‘Michael Jackson RIP.’ Well done.” The site’s status blog said that Twitter had had to temporarily disable its search results, saved searches and trend topics.”

Vonnegut White Whine
All libraries should have all of Vonnegut’s books.  I’d consider it an insult if they didn’t have them all.  He’s only the best writer of the 20th century… whitewhine: Ugh, this library has a really terrible Vonnegut collection. -Whine by Mike

"From Now On, Democracy Doesn't Exist Anymore" →
An interview with a reporter in Iran on the chaos that the election, or lack thereof, has created.  This is a very serious issue.  I rarely talk about serious issues on my blog, but this is a biggie.  Iran has turned into a police state, as if it wasn’t bad already. This is what happens when there isn’t a strong Constitution in place with the rule of law.  Iran has turned into a rule...

The perfect answer to an MTV related question
Never a fan of MTV awards shows.  They are always lame.  I just like to hear about the drama that supposedly went down from hollywood obsessed friends and gossip wires. By the way, Twilight is too “trendy” that it has become cliche and therefore it is on my “Things to Avoid Like the Plague” list. shutupinternet: Question: You know how you know that it’s time to stop...
