After two weeks, 20 films and parade after parade down the red carpet, the Cannes Film Festival has not produced a clear-cut frontrunner for the Palme d'Or.
Tuesday is Election Day, so please do your patriotic duty (hee hee, I said "duty") and make sure you vote.
I know what some of you are thinking: it doesn't matter if I vote or not. I heard some nit wit on the radio the other day say "we don't pick the president, the Electrical College does."
I spoke with someone on Sunday who said they were still undecided. It's getting to be kinda late in the game for undecided don't you think? What are you going to do? Walk into a polling place and flip a coin? I think they say they're undecided so they won't be judged when you ask them for whom they're voting.
Too bad! I'm judging you for being undecided.
Also, some have told me they are going to send a message to the Republicans and Democrats by writing in a vote for Ron Paul. Neither party will get your message because I checked the 2012 write-in candidates list for Arizona and Paul isn't on it.
Sure, Virgil Goode is on the write-in list running for the Constitution Party, and Will Christenson is a possible write-in for independent, so to all of you geniuses writing in Paul's name, it's going to wind up in the same pile with other people who think they are funny writing in Donald Duck or Spongebob.
I don't care who you vote for -- well, I kinda do -- but just know there are only two candidates who will count: Mitt Romney and Bronco Bama.
I'm all for the ethical treatment of animals, but this is ridiculous
Dateline Irvine, California: A three-vehicle accident involving a truck carrying a shipment of live salt water bass resulted in the death of 1600 lbs. of fish. Aww, stinky.
A volunteer from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a.k.a PETA, told Irvine's street maintenance chief that she would like a memorial sign posted at the site of the accident.
The sign would read as follows: "In memory of hundreds of fish who suffered and died on this spot Oct 11, 2012."
This PETA volunteer said the sign would remind drivers that fish value their lives and feel pain. I can't make this crap up. I wish I could, but we can't.
A city spokesperson said "there won't be a fish memorial," but PETA people said they will not quit trying.
It's not the first time PETA has asked to post a memorial for animals killed on their way to slaughter. They've tried to honor pigs killed in Virginia, cows killed in crashes in Illinois, Kansas and Manitoba, Canada, but so far none of those requests have been approved. PETA said "this is their first fish effort."
Did you know that PETA takes in about $35 million per year in donations? For what? Memorial signs for animals on their way to be killed anyway? I guess they are in PPB&J mode, meaning they are just trying to protect their phony baloney jobs.
They're more concerned with protecting the image of the organization than protecting animals. As long as they can get some press once in a while, they're happy and here I am talking about them so I guess their devious plan worked.
Well we here at Tim & Willy are proud to say that we have our own PETA slogan: People Enjoy Tasting Animals.
So come on out to the Saddle Ranch Chop House in Glendale and taste some animals. Cows, pigs, chickens and, yes, fish! Taste all of these dead animals without being guilted by a memorial sign.
Hey, PETA! How about a memorial sign for the cabbage that was once alive but is now dead and accompanying the pico de gallo and low-fat lime mayonaise in the fish tacos? Do I smell a double standard?
It's too bad no one will listen to me because I think I have the perfect fix for our failing economy. All of this information will be in my book titled "WWDRD" "What Would Dave Ramsey Do?"
I have listened to Dave Ramsey on 92.3 KTAR FM and attended his Financial Peace University. When people are stuggling with debt Dave recommends they CUT SPENDING, and save as you can. My plan is simple and I think Dave would approve.
Step 1: Dave suggests folks get out from under a car payment by getting rid of an expensive car and buying a good used car. What if we the people of the United States insist that our President park Air Force One and fly Southwest. They fly almost anywhere, bags fly free, and currently President Obama could sit in the emergency row with his long legs. This step would also include parking all of the support vehicles. When the President arrives at his destination he and all of the staff can take taxi's or just rent from Enterprise. They Pick You Up.
Step 2: What if the President, members of congress, and the senate all take second jobs and apply those earnings to the debt? Imagine getting a pizza delivered By President Obama. He would make a fortune in tips. How much fun would it be to walk into a Wal-Mart and have Joe Biden welcome you with a shopping cart saying
"Welcome to Target."
Bottom line: Our politicians got us into this mess so they should be the ones who make the sacrifices to get us out.
