Wow what a news day today!  Karl Rove is to step aside.

Bush's brain - the architect of Bush's victory in 2000 and 2004 is supposed to resign at the end of this month. 

Seriously, he blew the 2006 midterms...but withstanding that he did overall a good job until Shamnesty. 

His influence in the political process will continue to be felt for years to come.  Give him his due - he did a bang up job overall!  And that is what pissed off the Democrats.  But, they are now losing their favorite target.

Good bye Mr. Rove or lest we forget MC Rove!  Good luck in your future endeavors!



Update:  Here are some takes on Rove's resignation

Ace
Wizbang II

1 Dishka Dino and i went to some field in the wood near us. we waited until 2 am but then clouds came and blocked the view, we saw about 8 meteors together which was nice but we wanted to see a shower then the clouds left but it was too cold to stay and we were sure we won't see anything more... so we left at 3 am i wanted to shoot it with my video camera...but i didn't catch anything =\ although i did took still pictures of us which i'll upload to the flickr account
so all in all it was cool hanging!  we didn't hang like this for a long time. have a great week everyone!
LOVE ya all

Tomorrow I have to get a copy of my birth certificate from the county of Los Angeles.  Thank you Patriot Act! LOL...we now need proof of birth to get a passport.  Also this week I will get my passport photos.  With that I will then be able to apply for a passport!  Since it looks like I will be flying British Airways to Tel Aviv I need to have that passport before I can purchase the tickets (according to my boss - who flies via British Airways all the time).  So, tomorrow begins the actual work!  By the time all of that is done I will be able to pay for the tickets and my hotel(s).  Now I just need suggestions for hotels in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.  Any suggestions?

Today's lesson is Cameo! LOL  Seriously they are one of the best funk groups ever.  I am sure everyone knows of the song Word Up.  It's a good song..just overplayed at the time.   Here are some of their best songs:

Cameo - Candy

From 1986!  I loved listening to this song in High School on my walkman!

Cameo - Back and Forth

Both of these songs are from the Word Up album

Cameo - Mix of their various single!

Yes, I truly love mixes and this one is all about Cameo - even better!

Cameo - Single Life

Yes, yes I am a complete total football junkie.  I used to play Football when I was in High School (My position was Noseguard).  This was because I was big and strong.  At my best (16 years old) I was about 280 lbs about I bench pressed about 405 lbs. (I held the school record for that LOL)  And, I used to squat about 870 lbs.    My physique was just perfect for football until I got injured when, during hell week, someone stepped on my back and then I missed most of my Junior year in High School.  I did most of that year at home  and when I went back to school I could barely lift my textbooks.  That was a rough time.

All 4 years my high school always went to the playoffs.   Those were great times!

No no...not Gay football (aka soccer) we are talking about TRUE American FOOTBALL!!!

Today we get the pleasure of watching the DALLAS COWBOYS against the colts.  I am sure you can tell who I want to win!

GO DALLAS  Go Dallas!  GO DALLAS!!!!

It's just too bad I don't have any beers at home..it would be perfect!

UPDATE:  9 pm!  OH YEAH BITCHES!!! TAKE THAT!  Dallas 23 Indianapolis 10!

Yeah that got everyone's attention! LOL

The Journal's conclusion: "The widespread oral sex practices among adolescents may be a contributing factor in this increase."

Interesting, but it's not 100% effective.  But then nothing ever is.  You know I remember back at the height of the AIDS scare they said you will get STD's via oral sex. 

On a humorous note - But wait, I thought Bill Clinton said oral sex isn't sex!  And we all know Bubba Trash cant be wrong!

This one is for Tasha - as she used it/sang it for a second in her recent clip!

Sir Mix A Lot - Baby Got Back


Sir Mix A Lot - Posse on Broadway

This is the song that was their first hit - though Baby got back was by far the biggest hit!

COOL Rap Mixes - including Sir Mix Alot

SERIOUS Old School Jams!!!!!!!!

Well well well!   Today has been an extremely busy day at work..but in between....everything my boss and I sat down and looked at my plans for vacation.

I think the dates are going to be the first week of June around June 3rd - June 15th.  She has given me advice that I should take a day extra and stay in London. 

I should be able to get my ticket in about 2 months and next week I am going to apply for my passport.  My tentative plan is to spend  4 days in Tel Aviv, 4 days in Jerusalem and 3 days in Haifa (I dont know what order, yet).  And, I am still picking out some of the major sites that I want to see - but I still have plenty of time for that too.  I know I have to get luggage, board the bums, make arrangements for my sister to watch the house, arrange hotel accommodations and such. 

Man, I seriously cannot wait until next June!!

Ace does!  And its just too funny not to pass along to you guys - since well lets face it I am a moron blogger who has a south park sense of humor!

Because lets face it - the Earth is cock-slapping us for global warming!  Really! It's true!

Here is the title of the blog post:

First the Rightwing Parody, Then the Leftwing "Reality:" Yes, They're Now Claiming Global Warming *Causes Volcanos, Earthquakes*

But last year's parody becomes this year's Inconvenient Truth. And the Cult of Mother Gaia, in all its illogical theocratic glory, officially takes the inevitable step towards deistic teleological anthropomorphization.

What? I don't know what the hell that meant either. I think I channeled Jeff Goldstein for a minute.

Earth is angry, boys. And earth plans to cock-slap the lot of you. (That much of Goldstein I "get.")

Oh, and lest we forget to blame the Jews for global warming - Ace added this part too!

Ecstatic Religious Millennialism Update! Just so you know this guy is a serious scientist, and not at all a religious zealot clownishly toting "THE END IS NEAR" placards, I'll have you know he's written an extremely nuanced and scientifically cautious book called Surviving Armageddon: Solutions For a Threatened Planet.

Surviving Armageddon.

Will this happen before or after the Jews rebuild the Temple of Solomon, I wonder?

Damn Jews and their Satanic global-warming zionism.

Yep, its all our fault.  I take full responsibility.  I burn coal (in Arizona) for no reason whatsover other than the fact that I know it causes global warming.  And, no I don't purchase carbon offsets - I let those pansy's (Al "carbon neutral Gore and John (Silk Pony) Edwards) purchase those!

Here is the second one - a Simple Life part 4 - Zoo Edition.

What an excellent Thursday! We got two new clips!  This one is the Girls becoming Zookeepers.  They show us the behind the scenes and unglamourous jobs that zookeepers around the world do on a daily basis.  Feed the animals, clean the cages and meeting Grizzly Adams! LOL.

I have to say I really liked the slap Tasha did on Dishka that was as good as the Circus audition when Tasha played the snake and Dishka the snake charmer! LOL

Well back to the clip, what a wide variety of animals!   I wonder which one's they liked the best.  Excellent clip and I also really enjoyed the interaction between Tasha and Dishka.  The end was funny with Dishka fed Tasha LOL

Only one more left! (I believe)

Here is the link!

But, hey, lets enjoy this new clip now! (as I sip on my Starbucks Raspberry Mocha) we see the girls, I believe in Laos.  Shopping at a late night market, I think.  Those are beautiful textiles.  AND YAY!!! we get to see more amazing scenery and waterfalls!  The lake and the waterfall are stunning.  I wonder what happened to the camera though LOL  I guess we now know just how durable that camcorder is LOL!

Ok I guess I should point out that part of this clip should be rated for no one under the age of 13. LOL Ok probably a lame joke, but at least I try.  

I wish I knew what Dishka was saying. Hell, I wish I knew Hebrew again...I have said that how many times now in this blog?  134,976?  Well so lets just say it again!  The flight showing the countryside is also amazing! 

Now who were the celebrities showing up in the airport @ about 2 min into the clip?

When I was in junior high school I was in an organization called UC Partners it was designed to help prepare kids for college.  UC stood for the University of California as they were the sponsors.  It was a great organization it had monthly meetings, tutors, mentors and extracurricular activities.  Some of which I participated - like visiting the University of California at Riverside and Los Angeles Campus's.

When I was in 8th grade there was a writing contest.  There was a poetry, a dialogue and a short story contest.  In the last day of the contest I decided I was going to enter - originally I had no intention on entering.  I didn't think I had the knack for writing and I figured I had no real shot on winning.  However, my mother gave me the push and I did.  I wrote a small story about a page in a half about the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.  It took no more than about 10-15 min. in total.  The next day I turned it in and promptly forgot about it.

Approximately 2 months later I was summoned to the principal's office.  Here I was in the President's list and such thinking G-d what did I do am I in trouble for something?  Nope, I was there with the principal, my academic advisor and someone from UCR to notify me that I had actually won the award!  Even now its sort of funny....when I think back because I put no real effort into it.  They all had read it and said they found it emotional and they were riveted to the story.  About 2 weeks later there was a ceremony (my dad and I attended) at UCRiverside where all three winners were honored by the college and were given nice introductions and plaques.  I still have mine   I will take a pic and post it here and on my flickr account.
