Video Didn't Kill The Radio Star

I thought Casey Kasem was dead.

He's not.

Tasteful contemporary Top 40 radio, however, is.

Obama Doesn't Say The Darndest Things

A new breed of politician, eh? Sounds like the same-old stubborn partisan pander-politics to me.

Try as you might, Katie Couric, but Obama will not say the words "surge" or "worked" in the same sentence!

Just admit that you were wrong in predicting the utter failure of the Surge before it was even implemented, Senator. Now THAT would be nice for a CHANGE.

A Vow to Rock

Piety and power metal aren't incompatible. Check out this guy.

It reminded me of an incident when an aged driver at work queried me, "the Mormon," about my listening to alternative rock. He thought it was unbecoming of a self-styled zealot.

I explained that I enjoyed almost every genre under the sun but did avoid profane music.

I could tell he still perceived me as an audio rebel within the patchwork of Mormon dogma.

I was humored.

Like Brother Metal, I've learned that intense music doesn't mean that it's necessarily obscene.

Some, like the aforementioned driver, have a impossible time separating the two.

While these individuals will forever be banging on their ceilings with their proverbial broom handles calling for a cessation of the infernal racket, let us enjoy the blessed ROCK AND ROLL that surely comes from above.

I guess it comes from drugs too.

Politiks

A cousin of mine I recently added as a friend on Facebook lists his political views as "liberal independent."

Why do I doubt he is either?

He misspelled both--"libral independant."

It made me chuckle.

Cereal Killer (An Overused Pun, Granted)

This post of Pilk's reminded me to warn you, the general public, of a new foodstuff hitting store shelves.

Fruity Cheerios.

While its color and same diminutive cheerio shape are alluring, beware.

Its flavor smacks of weak Froot Loops and its texture is akin to styrofoam.

Do not purchase this boxed cereal unless you are a breakfast masochist.

You Might Already Not Be A Winner!

I often see discarded lotto tickets around town here in legalized-gambling- slightly-makes-up-for-our-collapsed-rust-belt-economy Michigan.

I knew the odds of winning were pretty slim, but after reading this article I now know some folks likely had exactly a 0% chance of winning.

Which is essentially the probability of winning the lotto anyway.

Muppets I Have Known

My favorite obscure member of the Muppet canon?
