If church was this cool, I may have actually kept going after I was confirmed.  These guys have “face melting” guitar riffs, amazing back-up singers (is that Jason Varitek’s dad?), and lyrics clearly crafted by a genius.  Don’t take my word for it, check out the 1:45 mark, truly poetic.  Don’t try iTunes, these guys are way too cool to go mainstream.  It’s all part of their marketing technique.

Palin’s Kid’s Dentist is The Fugitive!

Dr. Curt Menard, Gov. Sarah Palin's family friend and childhood dentist, looks over her high school yearbook.

Dr. Curt Menard, Gov. Sarah Palin

WASILLA, Alaska (CNN) — It was the night before Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was to accept the Republican vice presidential nomination in a nationally televised speech, and Becky Moore couldn’t sleep a wink.

She paced around her room and prayed before sending Palin an e-mail wishing her good luck.

“I was so nervous for her,” said Moore, a dietitian who lives in Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “I felt like she was my relative, like she was about to prove herself to the country.”

As much as Moore was hoping for the best, there was a part of her that didn’t want to share her governor and former mayor with the lower 48, a term Alaskans use to refer to their distant countrymen with a mix of playfulness and disdain.

“No matter what happens, we win. If she becomes vice president, the rest of the country will see what a great leader she is. If she loses, we get her back,” Moore said.

Ok, so this article from CNN was brought to my attention by a friend.  Bla, Bla, Bla.  We’ve heard and read enough about the new Vice Presidential hottie to last us another 4 terms.  But Wait!!!  Did you see that dude’s arm?  What mother in her right mind, would subject her child to a dental examination by Dr. Giggles?!?!?!  Heck with the baby’s mama dramas, this is one of those moral lapses in judgement that makes me feel queesy about the possibility of this woman running the country if McCain kicks the bucket!!

Koby Clemens Arrested

CHICAGO – Koby Clemens, the son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, was among three Astros prospects arrested early Sunday morning following a disturbance at a Salem, Va., parking lot at 2 a.m.

Clemens, Mark Ori and Jimmy Goethals were scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning in Salem, said Astros assistant general manager Ricky Bennett, who confirmed the arrests. The Roanoke (Va.) Times reported Clemens and Ori were charged with disorderly conduct and Goethals with assault and battery.

All three spent the night in the Roanoke County-Salem jail before being released, Bennett said.

“We’re still trying to gather some information,” Bennett said. “We’re scheduled to have a court appearance tomorrow morning and that that point, based on the feedback we get, the information we get, we’ll make a decision on what type of punishment will be based.”

None of the three players played in Sunday night’s 9-7 loss to Lynchburg and won’t be in the lineup today when Salem ends its season.

“This type of behavior is not acceptable in our organization,” Bennett said.

“I’ve talked to all three players this morning and told them some type of discipline will be imposed when we get the information and we are through with the process. I’ll sit down with each player and make a decision on what type of discipline will be imposed.”

Clemens, 21, was hitting .269 with 29 doubles and 52 RBIs this season, his first as a catcher in the organization that selected him in the eighth round of the 2005 draft out of Memorial High School.

Ori, 25, is hitting .304 with 11 home runs and 89 RBIs, and Goethals, 26, is a backup catcher who’s been injured since Aug. 10

Roger Clemens, who hasn’t played this season, is currently under FBI investigation whether he lied at the Feb. 13 hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when he claimed former trainer Brian McNamee never injected him with steroids or human grown hormone.

Looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  Sounds like Koby and Co. have gotten themselves into some roid-rage induced shenanigans.  I don’t care how tough you are naturally or synthetically, your name is still Koby…with a “y.”  Tool.

Fishy Story

ELKIN, N.C.—David Hayes’ granddaughter just ask him to hold her Barbie rod and reel while she went to the bathroom. He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.

Alyssa’s father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas and she had caught a few bluegill before her grandfather hauled in the catfish.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported the catch Aug. 5 in eastern Wilkes County has been certified as a record by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

Hayes and his granddaughter have been fishing in the pond behind his house since she was big enough to hold a pole.

Hayes said his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod.


Ok, I don’t know which is worse.  The Bigfoot Hoax or this fat redneck claiming to have caught a 21lb catfish, with the cheap K-Mart BlueLight Special fishing rod that he bought for his grandkid.  Reasons why this story is bullshit (plus a couple of observations):

  • Look at him, he’s about to have a heart attack from just holding the fish, do you really think he could real it it with a REAL rod?
  • Look at the Barbie Rod!!!  Are you kidding me? That thing wouldn’t withstand the strain of a goldfish!
  • The kid’s been fishing since she was old enough to hold a pole?  Seriously, she was born big enough.
  • The 6lb test claim.  Thanks to my Bros at www.brotherhood-of-catfisherman.com, I found that you can’t even step into the ring with a catfish, if your rod’s equipped with a 6lb test.  Minimum line for a fish of its size would be 20-25lbs, at the very least

Oh well, whatever.  Weigh in on this one.  What do you think? Hoax or B.S.

Can Terrorists Buy Guns in the U.S. Without I.D.?

BOSTON GLOBE –

The gun-control activist whose provocative billboards have been turning heads along the Massachusetts Turnpike for 13 years today will unveil one of his most eye-popping messages yet – a fake neon advertisement for American gun shows where people can buy weapons, no questions asked

“We Sell Guns! No ID required. No background checks. Criminals and terrorists welcome!” the billboard peals.

“Gun shows are the equivalent of Al Qaeda terrorists walking directly onto the airplane while you and I wait in the TSA line,” John Rosenthal, founder and chairman of Stop Handgun Violence, said in a recent interview. “They don’t want us to go on airplanes but they let Al Qaeda buy guns unprotected.”

That’s not a photoshopped (other than the time lapse shutter) picture folks.  I’ve seen this HUGE Neon sign with my own two eyes.  Pretty amazing actually.  You can see Fenway Park in the background.  The sign is about 200ft. behind The Green Monster.

They’ve put up some pretty provacative advertisements in the past (i.e. showing kids with gunshot wounds, to yearbook photos of kids that were killed, etc.), but this one takes the cake.  I mean, before reading about this ad, I had no idea that you could grab a gun at a gun show with no background checks and what not.  Personally, I tip my cap to the Stop Handgun Violence organization.  The right to bear arms is also something I stand behind, but if we can’t monitor / screen those folks to prevent nut-jobs, criminals, or terrorists even from getting their hands on guns this easy, then we’re just “shooting” ourselves in the foot.

Uh, Do We Still Get The Spice Channel, Eh?

Hey Hoser, Do We Still Get The Spice Channel, cuz no one asked my opinion, eh?

TORONTO (Reuters) – Canadians who may have become tired of being passed over as porn stars will have a new, home-grown outlet to showcase their erotic talents.

Federal regulators have granted Alberta-based Real Productions approval to launch a new digital pornography channel, which promises to serve up at least 50 percent domestic content.

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved the Category 2 pay-television service on Wednesday, allowing Northern Peaks to become “Canada’s first adult video channel offering significant Canadian adult content.”

“I think as Canadians there is a bit of a tiredness in seeing all American stuff,” Shaun Donnelly, president of Real Productions, said during an interview on Friday.

“There is always that thrill for something that is local and you get the sense that these are people you can meet at the supermarket.”

The CRTC only required 15 percent Canadian content, but Northern Peaks agreed to provide “not less than 50 percent of the broadcast day and not less than 50 percent of the evening broadcast period to Canadian programming,” according to the license.

“We want to be Canada’s adult channel and I think to do that, 15 percent wouldn’t cut it,” Donnelly said.

Real Productions boasts the largest collection of Canadian adult-themed content in the country with more than 200 film titles and 75 television episodes in its library.

Talk about a way to improve/restore the morale and pride of an entire country!  Let them bang on TV!  Is there a reason that more pornstars aren’t from our neighbors above us?  From what I hear, they have the best strip clubs around.  There’s got to be some kind of Canadian Skin Flick Talent pool?

My favorite part of the article is that the guy seriously feels that Pornstars are people you can meet at the Supermarket.  How does THAT happen?  What, is there a PornActorsGuild Meeting in the bread aisle?  That’d give a a whole new meaning to “Clean up on aisle 7!”
