I'm not sure if if the lack of Pirates is inversely causing global warming or if global warming killing off our cold blooded pirates. But either way there is a graph (stolen from gawker.com) and that clearly means one is causing the other.

Pirates are cool, I saw that movie with Depp so it must be true. So I'm not sure if if the lack of Pirates is inversely causing global warming or if global warming killing off our cold blooded pirates. But either way there is a graph (stolen from gawker.com) and that clearly means one is causing the other.

This RX 7 is to manly for you.
RX 7 for sale on KSL.com
Copied from the link incase they remove the content:
OK, let me start off by saying this Montego Blue RX-7 is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it were possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Mazda would look like Vin Diesel. It is just that manly.
This third generation RX-7 was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you have your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Linens & Things. No, that is what your Prius is for. If that is the kind of car you are looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop.
This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy-boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or OnStar (real men don't even know what the hell OnStar is). Your amenities are POWER. Power windows, power steering, power locks, twin turbo power under the hood. The sunroof, original alloy rims, wood trim and spoiler are just icing on a delicious cake.
No, this sexy brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 255 HP rotary engine to outrun the cops. It has special blood / gore resistant tan leather upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you are operating on yourself.
With minor modifications this beauty can easily pump up HP to 300 and with less than 2800# weight it is blazing fast. Scary fast. Crisp handling and suspension. This RX-7 has a manual transmission so you can shift into first gear, slam on the 4-wheel disc brakes and spin around the corner while the terrorists fall off the cliff. The brand new Bridgestone tires will keep you on the road. It has saved my bacon more than once.
My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $14,000, but I will entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $5,000 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.
There are less than 110,000 miles on this four-wheeled hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo. It has been meticulously maintained by the men in lab coats, garaged deep underground in a secret cave. It only has 20,000 miles on the new Mazda factory engine to replace the one that got shot out by The Man. It has never been wrecked because I'm a better driver than the bad guys.
Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it is a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho James Bond stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I will get back to you.

In the immotal words of the wise inner city poet Easy "mother fuck'n" E - Fuck the police!
So U of U cops arrested a kid last night for underage drinking. Fine, it sounds like he was being an idiot and we've got laws. But then he escaped. So the cops tased him. And of course they defended this action as these things are always defended, atleast we didn't shoot him.
So the only tools cops have left is the taser and the bullet? No other possible outcome of a situation? If the cop didn't have a taser in this situation he would have shot him? I don't buy that for a second.
I've had it with the taser culture. I'd like to see cops have to take a taser shot for everyone they dish out. At the end of your shift you have to balance the tally sheet.
Next time you see a cop taser someone and laugh, go look up Oscar Grant on YouTube. Try and laugh at that.

It's not a right.
I am pro healthcare. I work in healthcare IT. I wish everyone could get the best care possible all the time. But I don't think it's a right. And if it's not a right then why are we paying for others rewards?
Life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. Those are our inalienable rights. Nothing more. We are not entitled to things, but to the freedom to act. I have the right to work to feed myself and my loved ones. Clothe us, shelter us. I don't have the right to food, cloths and shelter.
If something is a right it is someone else's obligation to provide. If you have the right to food, I have the obligation to feed you. If it's a right you don't need to work for it. Isn't that in it's simplest form slavery? That I should be forced to feed you? No need to be grateful, it is your right to be fed. No need to ask for help, no need for the generous, caring and helpful. You have rights!
*I'm deleting the rest of what I wrote because it muddies the real point I want to make. No one has the right to things. If you work and achieve wealth and wish to share it by all means do. It's what a kind person does. But you cannot be kind if your wealth is taken from you because someone else has a right to it. That's just not kindness.

In a place without rain the Umbrella is of no use.
A friend of mine and I where talking about God today and this was my bit of wisdom. If I can call it that.
I find that I meet alot of people who think that God did something to them, or that God let something happen to them or those people You know you've heard it, or even said it, before. The idea is that if there was a God, or is he really loved us, life would be easier.
I think life is hard because he loves us. I believe that this life is the dress rehearsal. And if the director makes it easy on you how will you be prepared for the live show?
The title itself really encapsulates my thoughts quite well. If life is easy you don't need God's love and protection. God wants you to need him, to come to him with your woes, to seek his forgiveness. If this life where perfect you wouldn't need to be saved for the perfect life that is coming.
This world and this life are designed to be hard and ugly and unforgiving (in my opinion). If things aren't hard there is no need to make a choice. If there isn't a wrong choice to make then there is no choice at all. Without sin there is no forgiveness.
Life isn't easier for the saved and forgiven. They jsut know that it's temporary, and so it's harder to take seriously. To quote Maynard "We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion".
Just one fat guys thoughts on why life is hard.
