My McCain Ad Critique… the man has seriously lost touch with reality.

As if the last ad about Paris and Britney wasn’t bad enough, the McCain campaign has released one that is even more baffling. I could at least understand him wanting to put Paris and Britney is an ad, he does have a thing for younger blonds with substance abuse issues.

Campaign season is here. Grab your political memorabilia.

The Barack Obama campaign has launched a website, the “Low Road Express”, in response to the television ad John McCain’s campaign came out with the other day that basically compares Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. I am not sure why John McCain wants us to think that Barack Obama doesn’t wear underwear and shaves his genitalia. LOL

After you read this rant, buy your own cat a nice cat toy.

CNN has a story running about a kitten in South Bend, Indiana that supposedly has an image of Jesus in its fur. I watched the video and you have to REALLY stretch the limits of your imagination to look at the cat’s fur swirl and see what they want you to see.

Calling all lawyers…

Robert Burck has been arrested in San Francisco and given a citation for “violating a posted sign.” Seems like an odd charge to enforce but I doubt it has any serious legal consequences or punishment.

Robert Burck is better known as “the Naked Cowboy.” Burck is a NYC street musician who performers dressed only in skin-tight underpants, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. He gained fame and trademarked “the Naked Cowboy.”

The merger of XM and Sirius Satellite Radio has been in the works for about a year and a half. The FCC finally gave its approval, by the narrow vote of 3 to 2.

I am disappointed. I have owned Sirius Satellite Radio for several years. I really like the 80’s station and the NFL package. I am hoping nothing will change when the merger actually comes to fruition.

I am a Republican. That being said I do think there is enough evidence to warrant impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. They at least need to be brought in for questioning. Other members of the Bush Administration may also be guilty of crimes.

Mixed Martial Arts has its first public black eye.

It is sad that an entire sport can sometimes be put on trial (so to speak) for the actions of one or a handful of players. The Tour De France is riddled with speculation of just how common doping is, football has taken a hit over Michael Vick’s dog fights and the numerous players who have been accused of domestic violence, boxing had to deal with an ear being bitten off, and tons of colleges have athletes each year that are accused of rape. All of these incidents reflect poorly on their respective sport.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA ) is the new sport on the block and MMA is facing the first big publicity problem. Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, has been arrested on charges of felony evading, reckless driving and hit-and-run. Apparently he took his nickname a little too seriously.

The new television show,Greatest American Dog, just finished airing and I have to say I am extremely disappointed. While I never thought the show was a good idea or that it would be something I would tune into each week, I was expecting more than what I saw.

Greatest American Dog is more of a stupid manipulated reality show than a true test of what could be considered the Greatest American Dog.

Here comes the lawsuits. News broke today that the cervical cancer drug Gardasil may not be as safe as it was represented to be by Merck & Co. Inc. and the FDA.

Right now Merck & Co. Inc lawyers are probably scrambling to protect the company from the lawsuits that are sure to be filed in the very near future. Lawyers will be falling all over themselves to get a piece of this action. If you or a member of your family has received the Gardasil vaccine shot don’t be surprise if you don’t get a letter or phone call from a lawyer.

Today I am going to rant a little bit about people calling Independence Day the 4th of July. While Independence Day falls on July 4th each year the actual holiday is “Independence Day.”

Why do I care? Well it is because calling it the Fourth of July instead of Independence Day basically dumbs down the meaning. Evidence for this is the number of people who are asked what event is celebrated on the 4th of July who do not know and cannot even guess. If we stuck to calling it “Independence Day” then we would do more to honor the accomplishment of our founding fathers. Independence Day was a milestone for our nation and we should never forget it.
