How Not to be a Jerk at Comic-Con

Comic-Con how-to guides for what to see and where to go abound.  A lot of them will give you great advice for food, clothing, sights and sounds. This is not that kind of guide.

You see, one of the things people never address is the behavior of some of the convention goers.  The vast majority of the people at Comic-Con are excited fans and are genuinely enthusiastic about the presentations given. Continue reading

Meet Your 51st State

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone proposes that California be split in two. The new state, which he wants to call “South California,” will comprise of the counties of Orange, San Diego, Fresno, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Riverside, San Bernardino and Tulare. I live in Kern, so needless to say, I’m pretty interested in how this goes.

Stone has said, “Our taxes are too high, our schools don’t educate our children well enough, unions and other special interests have more clout in the Legislature than the general public.” OBVIOUSLY the only sane solution is to form your own state that consists of counties where nobody wants to live. Because the only thing keeping California down is the massive amounts of tax dollars coming in from Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The Riverside County board of Supervisors voted 4-0 to see where this goes, but with the proviso that no public funds be spent on it. I really hope this is their way of giving this guy a Kong to keep him entertained. Continue reading

Yes, indeed, this is the way to win votes in this country. Let’s discuss the tenets of slavery…erroneously! Continue reading

Despite Best Efforts Palin Plays Coy Uselessly

Are we all naive enough to believe that Palin doesn’t think that she’ll be the Republican white night riding in at the last minute to save the day? I think we’re fairly certain that Sarah Palin believes that all these other jokers littering up the field are just there to be her opening act, and that once all the squabbling begins and the race just looks like a bunch of loons held together by Mittens Romneypants and Michele BachmannGooglyEyes (slavery endorser) the Zeus and Hera of all stupid things, this is when she’ll emerge like a Bumpit-haired buzzard dressed in a Starfleet jacket waiting to pick the bones of the GOP carcass. We do think this will happen despite her latest interview in Newsweek magazine don’t we?
