On The Campaign Trail
Apparently, the McCain camp is launching a new tv ad that basically compares Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. This seems like a silly tactic for a couple reasons. One is that for the intelligent citizens of the states, this is ludicrous. How could anyone, for or against him, put Obama on the same level as butterfly for brains celebutantes and burnt-out mentally ill pop singers ? Secondly, the dumber portion of our population would probably love Obama for being like the false idols that adorn their treasured trash-talking tabloids and other forms of lecherous literature and reality tv. This escapade makes McCain look pretty desperate and a bit spooked. I would be too if my opponent was emblazoned on Obey T-Shirts.
Shia LEBayuf
Within the half hour that I saw Shia’s truck pieces on Ebay and decided to write about it, the price went from seven hundred & fifty to over fifteen hundred. What will the lucky winner get ?
Wow.
For those of you who don’t watch CNN (because that’s how I found out about this obviously imperative happening in the world), Shia LaBeouf crashed his truck Sunday morning, much to the stoked-ness of a nearby resident who is now going to make a couple month’s worth of rent off of someone’s mistake.
“Like the moronic driving-challenged Hollywood geniuses of the past… Paris, Nicole, Britney, Brandy, Lindsay, Mischa, Kiefer… now comes the one with the dumbest name of them all… Shia! Own a piece of his shame.” – Ebay user dvsinla.
Because only dumb people who are celebrities drive drunk or crash cars. Right. I got two traffic tickets last Thursday and I have about eight parking tickets I need to pay. I’m selling them for what I owe the city of LA plus ten bones. If you’d like a piece of my history, it is readily available- contact me at marissaaross@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Pot Progress
“The U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users, Rep. Barney Frank said Wednesday, announcing a proposal to end federal penalties for Americans carrying fewer than 100 grams, almost a quarter-pound, of the substance.” – CNN
Uh, can I get a hell yeah son ? This Frank character has some good ideas. I like his style.
“The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government’s business. I don’t think it is the government’s business to tell you how to spend your leisure time.” – Rep. Barney Frank
Allen St. Pierre from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws also made a great point:
“We do not arrest and jail responsible alcohol drinkers.”
Exactly. And alcohol and cigarettes, both very much legal and loved, kill more people every year than pot has in its existence. Yet pot is a Schedule 1 substance and cigarettes are sold to high school seniors. It makes a lot of sense.
F**k the P…aparazzi?
Also in the news, LA is looking to crack down on… the paparazzi. Gangs ? Drugs ? Elderly abusers ? Old news. The paparazzi’s days of irresponsible snap-shotting are over !!! And hopefully TMZ will subsequently get shut down as well as US Weekly and Tiger Beat.
Well, not Tiger Beat.
Everyone loves Tiger Beat.
