Misc. thoughts

R.I.P. JAMES BROWN
Man, seems like we've lost a lot of big names lately, and sadly we have to add James Brown to that list.  Hate to admit it, but I didn't really know much about James before Eddie Murphy's nearly perfect impersonations of him, but I found his body of work to be pretty impressive when I checked it out.  From what I can tell, he put on a great live show too, even if you couldn't understand a word he sang (a la Bob Dylan). So long, Soul Brother #1...

I hear that Rev. Al Sharpton will be presiding over James' funeral.  And no doubt Jesse Jackson will be there grandstanding and brown-nosing too.  Couldn't they find someone better?  Even Reverend Jim on "Taxi" would be a step in the right direction...

I'LL BRING THE ROPE
Iraq says that Saddam Hussein will be hung within the next 30 days.  That's nice, but I still maintain that this freakin' war was not worth it just for him to fry.  Let's just make sure he's well hung, mmm-kay?

SHE SURE DON'T ACT LIKE ONE
If Ann Coulter is so conservative, then why does she dress like Britney Spears sometimes?

McRIB IS BACK!
Why the filth-flarn-filth doesn’t McDonald’s just leave the damn thing on their menu permanently?!?  It’s a popular item—why do they keep taking it away?  Oh wait, let me guess—that FEMA guy is running McDonald’s now!

WOMEN DRIVE DRUNK TOO!
Have you noticed these ads on TV lately harping about how law enforcement people are supposedly cracking down on drunk driving?  That's all well and good, but why is it on these ads they only feature MEN being pulled over and getting the third degree from the cops?  Do the names Diana Ross, Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie (see left) mean anything to them?
