Not Lovin' It
McDonalds Wants You To F*ck It's Sandwiches
"Nothing is better than when a giant company makes an attempt to be cool with their marketing, only to do something that is completely moronic causing the very audience it is chasing to mock them.....Although I firmly believe that McDonalds is not advocating hot man on sandwich action, it is quite obvious that they did not do their homework as if they had, it is likely that they would have realized "I'd Hit It" is not exactly the catch phrase to use when selling fast food."
And as if this isn't enough McDonalds is also starting to outsource their drive-throughs!
Before McDonalds become the omnipresent roadside institution that it has become, Howard Johnson's was the place that provided food and comfort to a generation of travelers, before it fell victim to changing tastes, changing lifestyles, and corporate neglect. All that exists are our memories, and the site America's Landmark: Under The Orange Roof does a great job preserving those memories.
And if you are nostalgic for fast food chains that are no more, this Gino's Hamburgers tribute site is sure to stir up memories if you are from the Northeast.

Star Jones Update
"The demanding diva announced yesterday on live TV that she's willing to undergo elective surgery to have her breasts enlarged because her new husband, Al Reynolds, 'cares about boobs.'"
I'll bet he does....how long do we give this matchup? When does the prenup expire? And does she realize that people watch "The View" in spite of her, and not for her? It seems like she turns every topic into a forum to discuss herself and her damn wedding. But maybe it's just me that finds her annoying.

Separated At Birth?
Does anybody else think that John from The Apprentice's Net Worth Corporation might be a separated at birth sibling of Vince Vaughn?
I was really prepared to hate the new season of The Apprentice since I felt the "book smarts" vs. "street smarts" signified that the show was about to Jump The Shark. I'm glad to be wrong, and last night's episode was great, even if the use of the "F" word did make the rate of swearing in "Deadwood" seem tame.
But when are we going to get away from all the horrible casting stereotypes? This season we have two doofus guys in bow ties, but it seemed that we might have avoided an Omarosa type. Unfortunately last night, out of nowhere, Verna snatched the mantle of "crazy black chick" which was kinda sad to watch, but like many train-wrecks I was glued to the set. I guess they have me hooked for another season.

A Bad Day At Work
Things You'd Love to Say at Work, but Can't
A few of these passed through my mind yesterday as a was having a two hour "conversation" with an irate lunatic:
I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
If I throw a stick, will you leave?
I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
And many, many more as well as other work related humor.

The Newest Deal
The Bushies' war on Franklin Roosevelt
"Why are today's Republicans so hell-bent on changing Social Security? Clearly they're not driven by concern over government deficits. After all, they've engineered a taxing and spending regime that intentionally created record deficits.....Maybe it's because Social Security is an opportunity to refight-and perhaps win-a series of arguments the Republicans lost badly 70 years ago. To put it another way, it's a chance to knock down Franklin Roosevelt, finally."
And some other thoughts on the assult on Social Security from Paul Krugrman in The New York Times:"Social Security privatization really is like tax cuts, or the Iraq war: the administration keeps on coming up with new rationales, but the plan remains the same. President Bush's claim that we must privatize Social Security to avert an imminent crisis has evidently fallen flat. So now he's playing the race card...."

Failed Leadership
A Multi-Polar World
The Cold War-style American century is over and the world is entering a new multi-polar era, where the US is not considered the "leader of the free world" in any meaningful sense by anybody outside its borders. An interesting piece from MyDD via Daily Kos: "In a second inaugural address tinged with evangelical zeal, George W. Bush declared: "Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world." The peoples of the world, however, do not seem to be listening. A new world order is indeed emerging - but its architecture is being drafted in Asia and Europe, at meetings to which Americans have not been invited......
Ironically, the US, having won the cold war, is adopting the strategy that led the Soviet Union to lose it: hoping that raw military power will be sufficient to intimidate other great powers alienated by its belligerence. To compound the irony, these other great powers are drafting the blueprints for new international institutions and alliances. That is what the US did during and after the second world war."
And another fine piece from The Black Commentator: Crazy President, Crazy Nation via Knock Knock, Who's There?: "It is clear that George W. Bush is suffering from a terrible pathology, a sick paranoia...What is less clear is that the whole nation is quickly catching up with his level of insanity.
We know the Bush story. A mediocre man was pushed along into schools, jobs and businesses that he simply wasn’t qualified to handle. Living up to the Peter Principle he rose to the level of his own incompetence and became president.
Perhaps it is time to stop criticizing Bush for his shortcomings and talk about the nation’s shortcomings too. It is fitting that he leads a nation completely unqualified to be a world leader in any way."
Or as Hoffmania puts it How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?
"None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb. Its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?"

Blogging Introspection
Another day, another post. Why I do this is a question that I haven't been able to answer. All the reasons that made me start this have pretty much fallen by the wayside, and it's just inertia and habit that make me continue. My goal of "finding a voice" seems to have largely alluded me, since a strong tendency to give in to "self-censorship" has me trashing many of the posts that I have written. Did I make the right choice when I hit delete instead of the publish button when I was about to post my rambling on snowblowers (and their size) as a symbolic penis substitute? I may never know. Many times, it's about putting as little effort into this as possible, since I won't feel bad if it sucks, if I really wasn't trying.
I know that majority of the traffic that ever sees this is via the roll-of-the-dice blogger bar, although I'm always shocked and appreciative when someone takes the time to drop me a note or to link to this site. Thanks to all those who have linked, book marked, or taken the time to post a comment. I guess if I was really being honest, I'd have to admit that the feedback and recognition "might" be one of the things that makes me continue. Naww....that would just seem like I was looking for "pity-posts".

A Pill's Surprises, for Patient and Doctor Alike
The sexual doldrums caused by the likes of Zoloft can apparently be counteracted by drugs like Wellbutrin. However, this doctor tells us that his patient had "an unfortunate" side effect, a two hour orgasm while she was shopping. I never seem to run into these women while I'm at work, but the obvious answer would be to hook his patient up with another side effect victim, the guy with the "four hour erection".

Our country, in following Gonzales's legal opinions, has forsaken its commitment to human rights and the rule of law and shamed itself before the world with our conduct at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib......Now is the time for all citizens of conscience to stand up and take responsibility for what the world saw, and, truly, much that we have not seen, at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. We oppose the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General of the United States, and we urge the Senate to reject him."

Silly Facts
Did You Know?
Some trivial "facts" found via a link on J-Walk:
The slogan on New Hampshire license plates is 'Live Free or Die'. These license plates are manufactured by prisoners in the state prison in Concord.
The forward pass was created by the football team at Saint Louis University.
The only borough of New York City that isn't an island (or part of an island) is the Bronx.
The tune for the "A-B-C" song is the same as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
The common goldfish is the only animal that can see both infra-red and ultra-violet light.
If you stretch a standard Slinky out flat it measures 87 feet long.
Walt Disney's autograph bears no resemblance to the famous Disney logo.
It takes a lobster approximately seven years to grow to be one pound.
The Chinese ideogram for 'trouble' symbolizes 'two women living under one roof'.
In Chinese, the words for crisis and opportunity are the same.
Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator while he hosted "Lorne Greene's Wild
Kingdom."
Ralph Kramden made 62 dollars a week.
Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave.
A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
More people are killed annually by donkeys than die in air crashes.
Now, I feel enlightened. When I saw the Lorne Green tidbit, I can't help but remember the song "Love Train" which is one of my own little mondegreens, or "mis-heard" lyrics. I always heard the lyrics as "people of the world, join in, on the love train....Lorne Green." Stupid I know, but plenty of other stuff is listed at KissThisGuy.com: The Archive Of Misheard Lyrics.

Farewell
Carson Passes On
When I heard that Carson was dead, for a brief moment I thought that the king of late night mediocrity Carson Daly had bought the farm....wishful thinking! Sadly, it's the real King Of Late Night that we have lost.
Carson was an institution already as I was growing up, and it wasn't until I got to stay up that late did I get to understand why he had that status. Once you joined the "adult club" Carson was part of the fabric of your life. Much like remembering where you were when you heard about 9-11 or some such event, so many memories are intertwined with viewing Carson. He was "an everyman" who connected with his audience in a way few others ever did. Even during those years that I didn't watch TV, I still watched Carson. Television hasn't been the same since he left.
The Blizzard of 2005
As I was driving to work yesterday, I passed by the local Dairy Queen and saw a sign that said "I want my Blizzard!" Looks like they got their wish.

It's still coming down, but seems like it's tapering off, so I'm running out of excuses to avoid digging out. Here are a few snow related links to check out in the event you don't have the real deal:

Rants and Ramblings
On a whim I Googled the phrase, "Worst President Ever?" just to see what came up since I'm bored and disgusted. To no surprise, Bush was at the top of the list, but what I really wanted to see was how far I'd have to drill down to hit another name. I didn't have to go too far (3rd link), till I stumbled upon a reference to Jimmy Carter. That shouldn't surprise me either, since we tend to have a very short memory when it comes to historical events, and Carter is about as far back as most people can remember. Our Iraq policy suggests that very few remember Vietnam.
You had to go pretty far down the first page till you hit Warren G. Harding, who until "W" came along pretty much "owned" this title, although James Buchanan and Herbert Hoover might have given him a run for his money. Honorable mention goes to Andrew Johnson, William Henry Harrison and Lyndon Johnson. Ironically Abe Lincoln pops up on as many of the "Worst Presidents" lists as he does the "Best Presidents" lists, with FDR having a similar divided opinion status. (And I thought the "divided nation" thing was a recent occurrence.) We'll never know where JFK might have fallen, since his assignation gives him a "bye" and moves him up the "good" list; without that bit of tragedy he might have been a contender for the "bad" list as well.
Is there a point to this? Probably not. Just venting again. Eventhough I thought I had come to terms with "W" winning a 2nd term, the parade of the Bush nominees (Rice and Gonzales specifically) and their arrogance, their lack of accountability, and their unwillingness to admit any mistakes gets me crazy. Just the slightest sign of accommodation, moderation, or an honest review of what they have done (need a refresher?) would give me hope, but this isn't happening. These are people who feel they can do no wrong, who are above reproach, who have no shame, no guilt, and circumvent the democratic process at every turn. This is hardly a proud moment for our country. Let's hope history forgives us.

The Softball Game Continues
Everyone who is in over their head, raise your hand.
I couldn't have said it better myself, so why try? From »«TBogg»«:
"There was once a time when someone who failed so spectacularly in their job would have offered up a public apology and slunk off to a think tank where they could keep up the pretense of thinking with the other Not-Ready-for-Public-Consumption Players. But no. Condoleeza now gets the opportunity to continue to fail upward and, in an amazing feat of physics, drag us down with her. And because she has the full weight of George the Conqueror (who has an army and he's not afraid to use it) behind her, countries that know better will actually have to listen to her, nod knowingly, and pretend that she is good at what she does, making her the Pia Zadora of the State Department.
We should be embarrassed, We should hide our heads in shame that we are so unserious about our place in the world. But when the world is already laughing at our headliner, who's really going to pay attention to the lounge act?"
And in case you might have missed the sobering piece by Sy Hersh in The New Yorker about THE COMING WARS you really need to check this out. Again, The White House felt the need to disavow this one, and my theory about denying rumors applies to this as well!
On It's Last Legs?

When you have to go as far as denying a cancellation rumor, it usually gives it some credence. I have to think that the handwriting is on the wall for "Star Trek Enterprise". Too bad, since it seems to have found it's "legs" last season, and has been moving in the right direction this year. Don't get me wrong; I'm a fan but not a big enough geek to start buying stuff like The Star Trek Communicator Bluetooth Headset!

Borrow books from library before they're banned.
Stay out late before the curfews start.
Go see Bruce Springsteen before he has his "accident".
Go see Mount Rushmore before the Dubya/Reagan additions.
Take a factory tour anywhere in the US.
Try to take photographs of animals on the endangered species list.
Visit Massachusetts while it is still a State.

MLK Day
A special issue of classic pieces from The Onion to commemorate MLK Day. I've always felt that we'd know that there were no racial barriers when we start to see people bastardizing King's image and words in the advertising world like they do for the President's Day sales...."I have a dream....A Toyota Corolla for $13, 995!". Thankfully, his family carefully protects his legacy, so we will be spared this spectacle.

iPod Stuff
A recent link on Endaget pointed me to an interesting series of photo journalism essays, one of which shows Bush with his iPod. I was a bit disappointed to see that W uses a iPod. It's like I joined what I thought was a cool club, only to find that they will let anybody in. Sorta like the old Groucho Marx line "I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER." But maybe he will spend more time grooving to tunes, and less time trying to figure out how we can invade Iran and dismantle Social Security.
On a personal note, I absolutely love my iPod! Although the other day I had it in my front pocket when I was walking the dog and I was adjusting the volume as we walked down the street. I didn't think that it probably looked like I was adjusting myself instead. My search for the perfect case continues. And I can't get enough of the tracks from William Shatner's Has Been, which is fantastic, thanks probably to the efforts of Ben Folds.
And while we are on the subject, an interesting article on Apple, from yesterday's NY Times on the "cool factor" surrounding Apple and the iPod.

Have A Ball
Some interesting thoughts from Wonkett:
Is there not a bit of irony in the titles of the balls? In that, with the exception of the CIC ball, the Patriot Ball, and the Stars and Stripes ball, they're all named after things the administration seems hell-bent on eliminating? Constitution, Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, Environment and Clean Energy? What role exactly do any of those have in current GOP policy?
Perhaps they should come up with some new titles, to reflect the administration's position:
The Unfunded Mandate Ball
The Hell With International Opinion Ball
The Indefinite Detainees Ball
The Doctrine of Preemption Ball
The Clinton Did It Ball
The Legacy of the Crippling Deficit Ball
Excellent. We have just one further suggestion: "The Abu Ghraib Electrodes Attached to Your Ball."

Coronation Day Approaches
The Freeway Blogger rides again.
Thursday, January 20th, 2005 will be an historic date. With the swearing-in of George W. Bush for a second term as President of the United States, the world will bear solemn witness to what may well be the Biggest Mistake since the Dawn of Time. Future generations, provided there are any, will one day look to us and ask "What did you do during the inauguration?" Hopefully, you'll be able to look back and say: "I did everything I could: I was a Freewayblogger." Please join us on the freeways in a free, non-violent expression of horror and dismay on January 20th. Send your pictures to freewayblogger@freewayblogger.com
OR....If you're still sick about what happend back on Nov. 2, then you may need to stay home and get some rest on the 20th.
If you are physically and morally nauseated by: rigged/unverifiable elections, corporate-sponsored misinformation and propaganda, torture, imperial war without end, exploitation of fundamentalist religion for political ends, plunder of tax and social security revenues, unrestrained greed and corruption... then you won't be lying to your boss when you call on Jan 20th. That is, if the Bush economy has not blessed you with unemployment already. Or if you don't have the luxury of paid sick days. Or if you just don't feel like it.
Alternative acts of creative non-violent resistance and non-cooperation: wear all black, buy nothing, join a demonstration,email your congressperson, have a party and spit at the TV, you'll think of something. Show the Chimp he has no mandate.

IN SELFLESS PAROXYSM OF PHILANTHROPY, PRESIDENT BUSH DONATES $10,000 OF HIS PERSONAL $26 MILLION FORTUNE TO TSUNAMI RELIEF-RELATED PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
In response to the recent cataclysmic earthquake and tidal waves in South Asia, President and Mrs. Bush are taking aggressive steps to serve as the very personifications of Christian altruism. They urge all Americans to carefully review and replicate their personal charity support schemata.

Sushi Clocks
After the last few sushi related posts, a change of pace is needed. You might want to try "The Dim Sum Clock" which also plants the seeds of a craving in my little pea-brain. You can also order sushi and donut clocks as well.

Wal-Mart Turns to Ads to Address Its Critics
Ads in today's papers state that "Wal-Mart is working for everyone"; YEA RIGHT! It's hard to feel sorry for this "poor beleaguered company". They claim to provide excellent opportunities and good pay for their employees, but if this is the case we are all in trouble. Next time you are tempted to run out to Wal-Mart and grab some cheap crap, you may wish to consider some of this information:

McSweeneys: REJECTION LETTERS FROM XAVIER'S SCHOOL OF EXCEPTIONAL YOUTH
Dear Sarah "Fan Girl" Williams,
We regret to inform you that you have not been selected as a member of this year's class. Being able to recite, verbatim, the lines from every Orlando Bloom movie, while impressive, is not technically a superpower. Also, the fact that you are prohibited by law from coming within 10 miles of Orlando Bloom might limit our team's scope of service. Thank you for your interest in Xavier's School of Exceptional Youth.

Smells Fishy To Me
Chocolate Sushi
Chocolate Sushi is made from all natural chocolate and baker's ingredients. We use Belgian and Swiss Chocolate in our baking and rolling processes. Each sushi is carefully hand-rolled and portioned. Chocolate Sushi does not contain rice, fish or wasabi.
Thank god; after yesterday's sushi cravings, the thought of chocolate covered fish was a bit much for me to handle.

"Donate A Thong" for Tsunami Victims
"Who says only money counts?
Who says capitalist America doesn't care about Asian countries?
Who says you must donate to be a good person?
How about donating some thong?"
And yet another way to make your thong disapear: The Anti-Panti!
Or don’t go to Melbourne Florida, where wearing a thong on the beach, in local parks or out on the street could cost you $500 and land you jail!

The Further Adventures Of Borat
Ali G Strikes Again?
"No one knows for sure who he was, that Middle Eastern man in an American flag shirt and a cowboy hat who was supposed to sing the national anthem at a rodeo Friday night in the Salem Civic Center.
But he sure shook up this town before leaving in a hurry.
Introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan, he was said to be an immigrant touring America. A film crew was with him, doing some sort of documentary. And he wanted to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" to show his appreciation, the announcer told the crowd." AND THEN; THE FUN BEGAN!
At first, I didn't get Ali G, and I still sometimes don't find all the Ali G stuff all that funny, but Borat kills me every time! If you've missed him, the classic sketch is Throw The Jew Down The Well. Although it sounds like it might be anti-Semitic, Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G) probably doesn't have to worry about that accusation. Taunting rednecks until they get ticked off, is on one level cruel, but my mean side finds it pretty funny. The real irony is that these remarks were only a little to the right of many of the neo-con nuts running around and spouting off!
Our Misleader
Leading by misleading
"From Iraq to Social Security to jobs, Bush administration hallmark is deception.....The Bush administration has been telling us only four out of the 18 provinces in Iraq will be too unsafe to vote in. Doesn't sound that bad, does it? Unless you happen to know that about 50 percent of the population lives in those four provinces. Will someone explain to me what earthly good they expect to do by misleading us?"

The Emperor's New Clothes?
BOB HERBERT:Promoting Torture's Promoter
"The Bush administration hasn't changed. This is an administration that believes it can do and say whatever it wants, and that attitude is changing the very nature of the United States. It is eroding the checks and balances so crucial to American-style democracy. It led the U.S., against the advice of most of the world, to launch the dreadful war in Iraq. It led Mr. Gonzales to ignore the expressed concerns of the State Department and top military brass as he blithely opened the gates for the prisoner abuse vehicles to roll through.
There are few things more dangerous than a mixture of power, arrogance and incompetence. In the Bush administration, that mixture has been explosive. Forget the meant-to-be-comforting rhetoric surrounding Mr. Gonzales's confirmation hearings. Nothing's changed. As detailed in The Washington Post earlier this month, the administration is making secret plans for the possible lifetime detention of suspected terrorists who will never even be charged."

Jenny, Are You There?
This has been noted on many blogs, but I can't help but to link to it since I find this kind of obsession and minutia fascinating:
"There is an 80s song by Tommy Tutone called "Jenny (867-5309)" about a guy finding a girl's name and number on a wall and he wants to call it. The song led to telephone lines getting jammed when the song first came out, which led to the rumor that telephone companies don't give the number out or discontinued every 867-5309 out there. As you can see, I proved this wrong."
Perhaps, I wouldn't find it as funny if it weren't for a few drunken nights when the song first came out when I tried to do the same, but heck; didn't everybody? And for more triviality, be sure to check out this mind numbing site: A compilation of 555 numbers from movies, television and radio.

TV Time
“Separate rooms, I'll arrange that by tomorrow, but today I can't fix it,... unless you kill a guest.”
—E.B. Farnum to Wild Bill Hickok
Glad to see that HBO will be showing the entire season of Deadwood again, starting on Monday, and the new season will begin in March. If you missed it the first time around (and I've talked to many that did) it's worth a look. Very engaging characters and story lines; I almost dismissed it since I didn't think I'd be into a "Western". Glad I had an open mind on this, but the wife still refuses to watch since the show is "too dirty". And we're not talking "XXX" type dirty, but she is disturbed by the lack of cleanliness and proper sanitation. In the event you might have missed my earlier Deadwood posts, here are some Deadwood links for 'ya:

Happy New Year!
Gee, the first post of the year. This should be something profound, but you would have to go somewhere else for that. A quiet New Year's Eve at home, with the exception of the dog who went ballistic at midnight when all the fireworks started. While watching "The Honeymooners" and "The Twilight Zone" marathons that they were showing on TV, I found myself doing a bit of channel surfing. A news program had the inevitable "year in review" piece on those who have passed on in the last year, and I was blown away by two things: 1) the amazing amount of famous and/or important people who died in the last year & 2) the fact that life is so unfair, since Carson Daly still lives and has a prime time special.
