Olympics in Chicago

Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games has the support of some of the world's most famous people such as President Obama, Oprah, MJ, and Michael Phelps. Of course that must mean everyone is jumping on board and hoping for the same. Unfortunately, in a recent poll done online showed that the city is split. So if their is a low public support then why are they pushing so heavily for the bid? These celebrities only care about their front row seats they'll be given. Of course the Chicagoans will have to deal with the even more brutal traffic, possible jobs given to people hand picked by Mayor Daley, and not to mention the money that will be spent on construction to pay for everything. Why not take those billions to put into the schools, hospitals, and even the infrastructure. I just don't think this is something our country needs to be taking on with our current economic status. This is one situation where the city needs to listen to it's residents.

X-Rated Wal-Mart

Recently in Oklahoma, two men were arrested at their local Wal-Mart for playing an x-rated dvd in the display tvs. I don't know about you, but walking by those cheaply built plasma tvs with some porn playing might make me stop in my tracks like a deer in headlights. That kind of entertainment would only increase my chances of buying one. These two guys were probably just checking out the picture and sound quality. And what better way to do that than with a movie that they frequently watch at home. It's a visual upgrade at wally-world if you ask me. Most of the time you see nothing but Michael Bolton concerts playing over and over to the point where you run away from the entertainment section just so your ears don't start bleeding. I hope the judge has a good sense of humor when sentencing these two individuals. Clean up in aisle three and bring some disinfectant.

Universal Health Care

One of the biggest debates in our country right now is on our health care situation. Health care is a mess right now and for so many people with large families can be way too expensive to afford. Would free health care mean higher taxes? Most likely. Would it mean you are forced to go see certain doctors? Probably. Would you be getting the same treatment for having the flu as your neighbor? Yes, and it wouldn't cost a dime. I mean realistically we are the richest country in the world (or so we've been told for so many years). Then why don't we have the luxuries like smaller countries do such as free health care?

That's why I think they are going about this all the wrong way. My plan you ask yourself? Get some of the smartest young people (since that's the generation that will have to live with this plan the longest) in our nation to sit down in an enclosed room with no outside distractions. That's right, a think tank. No cell phones, no computers, and of course no outside interference from politicians. Just start brainstorming on how to set up the perfect plan for our needs as a country.

I know the president isn't going to ask me for my input so why waste my time explaining on what I would personally do. I just know that something needs to be done. If that means paying a little bit more in taxes then maybe that's not so bad. Taxes are constantly being increased anyways so at least this increase would be for a good cause. There are plenty of countries that have free universal health care right now. So why don't we ask them about their pros and cons in their system. I'm sure they would be more than willing to share their ideas. Our biggest problem in getting something done within our government.. too many dumb ass politicians with their greedy hands in other projects. Every one of them has some sort of motive behind their decisions and trust me, they don't care about the average Joe. That's why we need some outside opinions along with our bright young minds to figure out this whole debacle. I'm sure it can be done.

Police Play Wii

In a recent news article found on tbo.com, it states that cops were caught playing a Wii bowling game while enforcing a drug raid on a house. Apparently, detectives were competing against each other by throwing strikes and spares while other detectives hauled out evidence (you know, their so-called job). According to the search warrant, their mission was to search for drugs, stolen property and any illegal drug activity. What the police did not know was that a wireless security camera connected to a computer inside the household was recording their activity. Now there are questions on how the impromptu bowling tournament might affect the case against the man that was arrested. Will a friendly game of knocking down little graphic pins throw this case out the door? Even though I don't condone what this individual was arrested for, I find it too humorous to sentence this guy to any amount of criminal justice. The best part of the story is that the video of the cops was shown on the local news station. I bet those piggies feel like a bunch of jackasses. Silly shenanigans.

Mayweather Plays Race Card

In a recent interview, Floyd "Money" Mayweather said "If Floyd Mayweather was white, I'd be the biggest athlete in America. The biggest, the biggest. I know that for a fact." So, Mr. Money believes that in our day of age, the color of ones skin determines your popularity. I find this so hard to believe. Allow me to throw out a couple of athletes names to freshen up your memory; Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, or even the king himself.... Lebron James. All of these athletes have reached the top of their known sport and popularity level. They have all become rich, famous, and house hold names in their own right. Oh and by the way, none of them are white. Not only has Floyd become an attention needing person but also a whiny complainer. He complains that because his skin color is the same as some of the greatest sports stars to walk our planet, it somehow holds him back from being the biggest of all time. Maybe it's not your skin color that people care about. It's probably the fact that you are part of a dying sport. Enjoy the fame you have now while it lasts; you ego maniac.

Thoughts on commercial.

I saw this commercial on tv last night while watching the Bears vs Packers game. It made me question the marketing style of the Cialis company. At the end of the ad I wasn't thinking about what Cialis could do for me (even though I know I don't need it) but what I could benefit from having a bath tub outside. I can only imagine how awake I would feel after washing up in the early hours right underneath the beaming sun. Well, not only would the crisp cold breeze against my freshly cleansed skin wake me up but the loud early morning rush hour on the nearby highway could do wonders for my attentiveness. Additional thought; if Cialis is a sexual improving prescription, why wouldn't they be in the same bath tub. That seems more intimate to me. Oh well.
