The National Budget in Plain English

I love it when complex things are simplified so that we can all understand.
â– United States Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
â– Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
â– New debt: $1,650,000,000,000
â– National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
â– Recent budget cut: $38,500,000,000

Now, remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget.
â– Annual family income: $21,700
â– Money the family spent: $38,200
â– New debt on the credit card: $16,500
â– Outstanding balance on credit card: $142,710
â– Total budget cuts which some politicians are proud about: $385

Stop the insanity now. Vote them out and demand a balanced budget.

Paterno Dies, Baptists are Ignorant

You all know I've been JoePa's biggest critic lately.  But damn people.
 
 
Plus, he's dead now.  Give it a rest.  His tarnished legacy is punishment enough.  He is no longer an issue.  Penn State is an issue.  Not to mention the hell that Sandusky has coming.  But that will self-correct, Darwin style.
 
What my worry is now is these Westboro yahoos.  Really?  They have their kids hold gay-bashing signs and they have cops guarding them.  Cops?  Really?  If you are a church, you don't need cops unless you are really effed.  Oh wait, I forgot--you're religious.

Murray State is #1
Of course, that won't happen.  But it should.  They're ranked #10.  I don't care who you are--if you are undefeated after mid-January.  You deserve to be #1 until you lose.  Besides, it's not NCAAF--your rank doesn't screw someone else out of the postseason.

Semi-related note:  Baylor's loss wasn't bad.  Mizzou actually has a better record than they do.

Syracuse Loses
The priests on the ND campus stopped corrupting little boys long enough to pray for their men's basketball team.

Speaking of Little Boys
Joe Paterno is sick.  Well we all agree there.  The family is on record as officially wanting to cover up the developments of the story.  Must be a family tradition.

Seminole When?
Yea, their men are as underrated in basketball as they were overrated in football.  Here are Florida State's last three games.
01/21/12 - Knock off Duke @ Cameron
01/17/12 - Easily handle Maryland by 14
01/14/12 - Destroy North Carolina by 33 points!!
Watch out, would-be March opponents.  FSU is a bad draw this year.

NFL Playoffs
Does anyone like any of the teams that are left?  A lifelong Browns fan who pulls for the Bears or Pack when watching the NFC, I find myself still somehow rooting for the Ravens and 49ers today.  There really isn't a likeable team left in the playoffs.  Personally, I like it.  It allows for a purist football fan experience.  Just watching football (and drinking beer, of course).

Mardi Gras
30 days until the annual Entitlement Fest.  LSU and Saints fans unite to lament about why they are overweight and how country owed them football championships.  "Our spirit is strong."  No, Louisianans, your arteries are strong--you are on borrowed time already.  Is Louisianan the correct denonym?  I made it up.  It's free.  I know you like free stuff.

JoePa wants privacy, hilarious
Joe Paterno's family "continue[s] to ask for your prayers and privacy during this time."  On behalf of the families of the victims of the Penn State rapes, Rinky Dink Records would like to offer JoePa's family a hearty GFY!

St. Jude Heroes

Default

Hey everyone,
 
I am running the half at the St. Jude Marathon Weekend in Memphis on December 03, 2011, and I am also participating in the St. Jude Heroes program.  In this program, participants in the events (marathon, half, 5K) raise money for the kids at St. Jude in conjunction with their training for the event.  I know times are hard and none of us ever really had any money to spare anyway.  But I am asking for each of you to pass on just $1 per mile that I will run to St. Jude so that they can continue the great work that they do at no charge to the kids and families that benefit.  I am running the half this year, so that is $13, which equates to staying at home one night and having two to three drinks while reading a book or watching a movie instead of going out and spending $13 on the same.
 
Please find my donation site at:
 
For those of you who like paperwork, you will receive a letter from St. Jude thanking you and documenting your tax-deductible charitable contribution--for those of you who know I am an accountant, "this is not tax advice" :)
 
If you absolutely cannot give or have committed your generosity elsewhere, I still appreciate you reading this far.
 
Thank you everyone for considering this gesture.  I hope this note finds you all in good health and loving life.
 
Cheers,
wop
 
p.s.  Regardless, I will send you all a note and let you know the results of my weekend.

Rapelisberger Fans Descend on Happy Valley

By what can only be perceived as an invasion by Pittsburgh Steelers fans, recent events have shaken Happy Valley to its core.  "I used to love going here" [Penn State] says Katy Polanski, a Junior PoliSci major.  She continues, between sobs, "all the sudden... [sobs] where'd they all come from?... [sniffle] Pittsburgh I guess. [bursts into tears]."  A graduate assistant in sociology, wishing to remain unnamed offered this:  "The only documented case of football fans actually condoning rape is in the Pittsburgh Steelers fan community.  No one in College Station, PA, has anything but love and sympathy to offer those families.  But these Pittsburgh have flooded our town and are demanding that the old regime of rape and cover up be reinstated.  They are passionate, turning over vans.  I feel sorry for them, they've been conditioned to appreciate sexual assault and are unfortunately trying to make it look like the entire state of Pennsylvania is pro-rape.  I wish they would leave so we can start the healing."
 
At the printing of this article, "JoePa" chanting into the night could still be heard by many of the pro-rape demonstrators, with no signs of subsiding or returning to Pittsburgh.

Idiocracy

Idiocracy

As I was trying to write last night, my mind was densely clouded with PBR, mental masturbation and the general riddle of the state of the world.  So I didn't get any writing done.  Instead...
 
So here's this picture.  Please excuse my juvenile MS Paint skills.  But other than hiding my name and such, the only editing I've done is in RED.  I've pointed to my favorite blowjob of a mail icon--Google must have gone to the same drawing class I went to.  And in the box are two quotes that just piss me off.
 
Google :: Where are the words?!  I used to know how to delete e-mails.  Now I have to look for something that resembles a film roll.  I can't get this image out of my mind--the scene from Idiocracy where Luke Wilson is trying to describe his ailment and the girl with the vacuous stare selects the question mark button on the McDonalds-esque micro.
 
Between these quotes becoming mainstream and Google doing its part to make us dumber, it's only a matter of time before someone sees me reading a book and says "what're you trying to read that book for, are you a fag or somethin'?"
 
and yes, they will say it in all lower case.  probbly misspeled.  turkey leg in hand.  gawd bless 'merica.
