L.A. Boondoggle

Good day to all of you fine people out there in internet land. If you’re at all like me, you might be feeling the collective pinch of recession as your money seems to lose its buying power on a daily basis. It looks as if Fed Chief Bernanke doesn’t think things will get much better soon, to this we say, “No shit, Sherlock!” Call me crazy, but I’m not too hot about what the government plans on doing to help solve this recession. Remember, this thing is being handled by the same group that helped us wind up in this spot in the first place. Their solution seems to be especially reckless in the form of their stimulus plan, basically giving people rebate checks in hopes that they’ll go and spend it immediately to help bolster the economy. I think it just goes to show how out of touch politicians are with the common man. “Thanks for the $300 check, that’ll really help with. . . oh that’s right, it won’t do jack shit.” I guess I’m a skeptic or a cynic or what have you but I don’t think spending ourselves into oblivion is gonna help us out this time around and to my untrained eye it appears that the stimulus plan and cutting interest rates are just a way of bandaging the problem until someone else has to deal with it. /End Crazy Economy Rant

In Idol News, that little whiny bitch, Josiah, got rejected from the top 24. Now, I’m not one to be too cold hearted but the guy just annoyed me throughout his auditions. He cried, dawned a fake British accent, and acted like an all around douche. Besides of which, he also did terrible in his 3rd round audition, I think anyone else would have been canned on the spot. At any rate, maybe the Josiah will grow a pair and compete next year, minus the whiny lameness, and perhaps he’ll put on a performance that doesn’t cause me to hurl a bad call brick at the tv.

Well, that’s all and for now I’ll leave you with the sequel to the powerthirst video. I seriously cannot get enough of this stuff.
