Oh, Silly Facebookers...

Stating the facts will not change anything, it will only raise your frustration levels.

Oh, by the way, I did repost.

Just a thought.

Oh Well....

Another year, another bracket shot in the ass. Maybe Saint Mary's vs. Northern Iowa in the final.

Ben-a-palooza????   OMFG!!!!

So, I'm a two-time, two-time, TWO-TIME Super Bowl winning quarterback. While I may not have more money than God, I have more money than I can possibly spend in five lifetimes. While it's commonly held that I'm a total jackass (their word, not mine) in public, as long as I'm the starting QB for da Pixburg Stillers I pretty much can do no wrong.

So, what do I do to celebrate my 28th birthday? I hook-up my whole crew gang 50's tv cast posse with matching t-shirts (dude, we da bomb, yo!), pile 'em all on to the palooza party liner bus, and road-trip it to Hazzard County. Yep- me, Big Cat, Ez, Coop-A-Loop and the rest of the fellas headin' down the road on a booze bus just like adults do and then........

And then, just when you think this whole story can't get any funnier (and by funnier I surely mean more pathetic) we get a look at this....

Public can comment on proposal to reduce fines

EL PASO -- Low-income drivers caught driving drunk or without a license may get a break in paying their fines.


The Texas Department of Public Safety is now taking public comment on a proposal that would reduce the fines for people living near or below the federal poverty line if they're convicted of a Class C misdemeanor.


That type of offense includes driving without insurance, driving without a valid license and driving while intoxicated.

and...

"We all make mistakes and if you get caught driving without insurance you should pay a fine, but it shouldn't take your life savings," said Lower Valley resident Jesús Alvarez, who said he struggles to make ends meet. "Besides, if you take away our licenses we can't get to work. How are we supposed to make a living?"

(sniffle...sniffle) Boo Effin' Hoo (sniffle...sniffle)

The proposed changes would:

Reduce the fine for driving without insurance from $250 per year for three years to a one-time payment of $250.

Reduce the fine for driving without a valid license from $100 per year for three years to a one-time payment of $150.

Reduce the fine for driving while intoxicated from anywhere between $1,000 to $2,000 per year for three years to a one-time payment of $500.

Hope. Change. Texas-style.

Where have I read this before??????

Seriously, not to spend a lot of time on this:

• Guilty or innocent, at what point do you quit putting yourself in these situations? Face it, big guy, your an effing target. Perhaps a little more acting like a grown-up and a little less Girls-Gone-Wild. You're getting a little bit old for this dontcha think?
• Why do I get no comfort from hiring Ed Garland to defend? Apparently, a very good attorney, but with a client list that includes Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis and PacMan Jones, just doesn't look good, knowwhatImean? Don't get me wrong, if Jim Ecker's not available you might as well go for Andy Griffith.
• At what point did Greensboro, Ga become a summer vacation spot? Mayberry must have been all booked up. 
• With March Madness coming up, it's the time of year when the little schools, that you don't usually hear about, get a shot at the national spotlight. But seriously.....Georgia College & State University?

Not to be critical.

I've been wandering around in my mind, for the last week or so, trying to decide whether or not the obsession I'm feeling about Hizzoner Boy Mayor Where's Waldo?'s handling of our recent inclemency is worth all the headaches.

I mean, hell, I don't live or work in the city. I wasn't affected in any way by the antics and missteps of the Birthday Boy and his posse. Before the snow started to fall, I'd never heard of Curtis Mitchell. And, there's a loooong time to forget stuff before the next election. As I've said- as long as Lukey has "D-Norside" after his name, lemmings will be lemmings.

Then, I read this piece at Infinonymous and I think I'm starting to accept.......this city is screwed.

• Switzerland company offers young boys extra-small condom, the Hotshot
  

  A Switzerland-based company is manufacturing extra-small condoms for the 12- to 14-year-old set.

  WTF?
  
  

  The Hotshot measures 1.7 inches in diameter (as opposed to 2 inches found with regular ones), and 7.4 inches in length.

  Go ahead, get the jokes out of your system. We'll wait.
  
  

• (CA State)Senator Roy Ashburn arrested on DUI charges

 Sources told the CBS affiliate KOVR in Sacramento Ashburn was seen leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento.

According to Project Vote Smart, Ashburn's voting record shows he has voted against every gay rights measure in the State Senate since taking office including Recognizing Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages, Harvey Milk Day and Expanding Anti-Discrimination Laws.

Hypocrite douchebag.

It might be time for Benny to trade in the "7" for a bullseye. Twice in a year or so? Not a good pattern. "The show that never ends" indeed. 

Maybe it's just me.

D.C. hospital fires 11 nurses, 5 staffers for snowstorm absence

The District's largest private hospital has fired 11 nurses and five support staff members who failed to make it to work during the back-to-back snowstorms that paralyzed the region earlier this month.  

"Sadly, we did experience some issue with associates who did not show the same commitment as most of their co-workers to the community, our patients and their fellow associates. They are the few who turned away from their scheduled shifts and who tried -- and are still trying -- to turn the focus on themselves rather than the thousands of Washington Hospital Center workers who fulfilled their commitment to their patients and colleagues, and made it to work," (hospital President Harry J. Rider) wrote.

Pittsburgh EMS workers may be punished

 Pittsburgh Emergency Medical Service workers could face discipline for a series of errors that led to a Hazelwood man's death during the snowstorms, Public Safety Director Michael Huss said Wednesday.

 City officials declined to discuss specifics, except to say they were reviewing possible disciplinary action. The city asked the Allegheny County Health Department to investigate what happened during the Feb. 5-6 snowstorm, and Huss spent yesterday listening to phone calls connected with the death of Curtis Mitchell, 50, of Chaplain Way.
