A Romney nomination device
Those who are now serving their time dodging hurricanes in hell at the Republican convention in Tampa and will have to pull the trigger (Allowing for the NRA nuts, figuratively speaking) and nominate someone, if you can manage to have those hookers wait for you at your hotel, this may help ease your pain…

Outsourced Olimpic Souvenirs, Now On Aisle 6
Yes, I’m well aware that there’s a misspelled word in the subject line, much the same as I know that the most litigious organization in the world claims to own the correct spelling of that word, and they have more lawyers than Michael Phelps has gold medals or groupies attending his alleged pot parties. That’s also why the next photo merely represents London, which I believe is still in the public’s domain, instead of some logo that’s made up of interlinked circular things. O.K., on with the show…..
I have bad and worse news from London.
The bad news? Even after being transported in the traditional Romney style, Ann’s horse Rafalca still didn’t win the Dressage (a.k.a., Horse Dancing) event.
The worse news? Rafalca has been put on the market. Well, to be more precise, Rafalca has been put on the shelf in the dog food section of a market near you.
And Rafalca may also soon be found in finer Asian restaurants worldwide.
And because in some parts of the world, nothing is wasted…
I’m not worried, I have RomneyCare

The Latest Verizon Adventure
What I had intended to say was “Get your tongue out of my mouth bitch, I’m kissing you goodbye”, but what I actually said to the Verizon representative woman was “I have two phones with Verizon, and one of them has ended its contractual 2 year agreement yesterday so I want to cancel that number and close off that part of my account, please”.
To bring all of my new readers (yes, both of you) up to speed, I’ve had a 20 year love / hate relationship with Verizon, one that I always swear will end when the current contract expires, but like a mother who somehow manages to forget about the agony of child birth and gets pregnant again, here I am. I think I came up with an unintentional yet very funny line there in that last analogy, screwed hard yet getting back in line for more.

Go ahead Verizon, it’s only one more nail
I’ve used and been abused by Verizon for all this time because I work on films and travel to a lot of locations all over the map, and while doing so I’ve had the opportunity to compare usability with others on the crew, and often mine is the only phone working on the set, it just works.
This includes films done on location in my ancestral homeland of Detroit, where for the past several years I would work as a local hire by staying with friends and relatives. This practice came to a screeching halt when the last election for the office of governor of Michigan put republican Rick Snyder (yes, feel free to call him “Dick”) into office in January.
One of the first official acts of this “Dick” was to chop the legs out from under the relatively new and quickly growing Michigan film industry, in addition to kicking many newly hired workers who were long time unemployed ex-auto industry employees directly to the curb.
Just to explain why I came to have an additional Verizon phone, I needed a dedicated cel phone with a Detroit area prefix (248) while working in the SouthEast part of Michigan. Five months after I signed my two year contract, there was no longer a Michigan Film Industry to work in. That phone became a paperweight that I still had to pay for each month until either the contract expired or I did. I’ve learned that some businesses will shake hands hello when you enter, Verizon will bite your ass on your way out.
It had to talk with three levels of managers in that store to not get charged for an additional month. One finally got it that since my contract expired August 3rd and I came in to cancel on August 4th, I couldn’t have canceled on the 3rd because the contract was still in effect and I’d have to pay a penalty for early cancellation, so it would be, in Verizon-speak,
perhaps wrong for them to charge me for the full month of August. “Perhaps”, I really have grown to like that word….

The Collision Of Two Technologies
Darwin’s Theory tells us how nature cleans up the gene pool by removing those undeserving of being able to reproduce. Well, now this has been substantiated by two technologies colliding (literally) to give it credence.
On one hand (again, literally) we have the texting ability of the so called “smart-phone” user, this is a person who has been gifted with a device that can totally block out any cognizance of the actual world around them as he or she careen down their own private path fixated on that little screen. This creates a situation in which that person now can share their inner thoughts with the entire twitter driven world any time they think they have just had an original thought. At the same time and with the same device, there are those who will be able to use that very same accessible technology to announce when they pass gas, an event that’s often equal to or of even greater value than that previously mentioned thought.
On the other hand, we now have the technology to manufacture cars that are able to, in absolute silence, weave in and out of the pedestrian’s usual domain of crosswalks and the curb area at corners. The inevitable meet up between those walking / texting and the auto equivalent of the stealth fighters is going to take place somewhere around the shin to knee area of the average sized pedestrian.
To match up with those other 4 letter named electrically powered cars like the Nissan LEAF and the Chevrolet VOLT, I’d like to suggest that if Ford makes one it should be called the Ford FART SBD, or possibly the Ford FLATULENCE SBD. If you don’t get that SBD part, post a comment to this blog for a translation. However, to save a step you might find a clue by rereading about the attribute mentioned for the electrical cars in the paragraph above.
The result of these impacts is predictable, and history shows that every time a few thousand pounds of vehicle meets up with a hundred or two pounds of flesh, the end result will almost always (here’s one exception) give the game, set, and match to the vehicle, or in other words, Charles Darwin rocks on in the 21st century.

In Iran, Pushing Your Luck Is An Olympic Event
Now, as my protective brain fog lifts and I wake up from too little sleep after yet another 14 hour day working for a complete idiot on a sit-com pilot that no one will ever see, something becomes clear to me in the way things often do, a thought that should have been obvious to everyone but one no one has picked up on, sort of like a Viagra experience, it just popped up one day.
Besides Israel, who do you suppose would show up on a list of the strongest opponents to Iran going into the Nuke flinging mode? Could it be the more or less within rocket range somewhat Western countries of Greece, Turkey, Germany, Russia,Ukraine, France, China, Pakistan, or maybe even India?
Nope, wrong… it’s none of the above. As of today, I’m going with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and all of those tiny countries like Qatar, Jordan, West Bumfuckistan, and of course the rest of the ‘Stans that are usually known for being Islamic run countries.
And the reason I feel secure enough to make this prediction? I’m thinking that some of the brighter lights in those countries have realized that with that first hit, no, make that just the first sign of a launch from Iran or Persia or whatever those folks choose to call themselves today that goes even vaguely in the direction of Israel, well that will be the exact moment you can write down in the history books as the one where Israel starts entering their launch codes that will vaporize each and every one of those above named Islamic countries. The technical term usually attached to this preventative process is “Mutually Assured Destruction“, or MAD. To be sure, it’s an interesting theory, but if it will actually work as a deterrent when dealing with clearly suicidal types that can easily be called just plain mad or not has yet to be tested.
So that’s why I believe that this message is starting to sink home with Iran’s soulmate neighbors and Islamic Brotherhood buddies who might now finally have something to lose. I expect that soon a sit down meeting with Iran’s Paul Reubens jerkoff stunt double, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, will take place and it will be one where they will do the jerking, and perhaps convince him to join the real world.
And the end result of all of those years of yelling, all of that firing AK-47’s in the air, all the screaming “Death to Israel” that mainly has served him to rouse the rabble, none of it will matter to Mahmoud since his country will be just one of many glow in the dark glass covered parking lots….
Sadly, here in the U.S. we have our own psychopaths that speak to the coming of their “Rapture”, and how Israel getting nuked just moves their prophecy along one more step closer to the day of that lift off to heaven for the righteous and banishment to burn in hell with the rest of those non-believers. So far, there’s been no information provided on what the quality or quantity of virgins promised to them will be.
Yep, all that work to become a mere footnote in the history books, and no one will ever find out or care to know if Mahmoud got those 72 virgins.
