Random Stuff

Ok, I'll start with the scariest news first. In the world of fashion, leggings are making a comeback. I'll refrain from the L.L. Cool J reference here and insert a horrified scream instead. Thanks to twigs like Lindsay, Mary-Kate and that Nicole Richie character leggings are apparently set to be all the rage. What I can't figure out is why these idiots are wearing work out clothes? I mean, aren't spandex for working out? These are people who haven't seen a treadmill in their lives, so back off the lyrca ladies. As for the depressing upside, fat people everywhere are rejoicing that they will finally be in style again. They've been waiting for this moment since 1992, when I will admit to owning a pair of leggings, black with lace trim at the ankles. I wore tehm under my skirts to school because it was cold outside and it looked a lot cuter than sweatpants under my skirt. Shut it haters, I was 10!

Ever wonder what happened to that middle kid from Full House? If you said no, please skip this paragraph. If you chose yes, read on (that was so choose your own adventure of me). Well, she's a meth head, it's true. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Entertainment/story?id=1564779
Apparently she got bored and decided trying meth was a good idea, since she was unemployed and married to a cop. Here's a better idea, Jodie Sweetin, hit up Monster.com and start looking for a job. How insanely bored do you have to get before you're like "hmm, meth sounds like a good idea, I mean it works for Hamilton, Ohio." Also, most cops don't make piss poor salaries, so why didn't she just fill her time spending his money more wisely than on meth? And what kind of cop doesn't noticed his wife is a meth addict? Pretty much it seems as though Hollywood is the kiss of death to people's lives, although it provides me with blog fodder, so again I say carry on Hollywood.

Detroits finest paid a visit to the Tri-State last week. A Detroit mother was arrested after teaching her 15 year old how to shoplift DVD's. This was after her 13 year old son refused to help steal. I guess if at first you don't succeed, try with the older but dumber child.

Douche Bag of the Week Award! 2 Kentucky men are arrested after they allegedly stole a light pile off the side of 275. Now, at first when I read this headline I'm thinking "WHAT?! Can you even steal a highway light pole?", but here's the real deal. The pole had been knocked over last week in a crash. Then a Boone Country deputy found the pole cut up in sections in the pack of their pick-up truck. For anyone wondering, these poles are worth $3K. Not only were they arrested for theft, but the one guy was also charged with improper registration, since he has not re-registered his pick-up truck since 2001. Apparently the theft on these poles is on the rise, along with stealing aluminum siding and copper wire because they can be sold to salvage yards. Salvage prices are up, therefore so is theft and stupidity (there's an equation in there somewhere). These 2 jack-offs cut up the pole in front of a KDOT worker. Hence, douche bags of the week.

There is a close second for the douche bag award though, also in Kentucky. This idiot killed a woman on I-75 in Kentucky. She was driving south, on S-75....he was driving north on S-75. Of course she dies, and he goes to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Apparently alcohol was a factor, which begs the question how drunk do you have to be to go the wrong way on the highway? How long was he going the wrong way? How do you even manage this stuff? He was charged with a DUI and wanton murder, which I like because it sounds like a bad Chinese dish.

Rolling Stone interviewers are stupid. In a recent interview with Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R), they interpreted his Bible quotation as a joke about gays. The article is entitled "God's Senator" and he had criticized countries for allowing same sex marriages. Then he quotes the Bible saying "You'll know them by their fruits." This whole quotation was #1 taken WAY out of context, #2 I'm sure the editing was done in such a way to make him look like a bigot. Look, Christian or not, republican or democrat, doesn't matter. No politician is going to make such remarks about a group of people. They have re-elections and popularity polls to worry about in all situations. The last thing you will hear a politician do is make a discriminatory statement. Unless their name is Ray Nagin and they are the mayor of New Orleans and they are in desperate need for chocolate.

Speaking of politicians, this guy sounds like he will fit right in to the political realm. Jonathon Sharkey (apparently former pro-wrestler Rocky Flash, vampyre party...whatev) was running for Minnesota governot. He's a self-proclaimed Satanist and promises to implae terrorists and criminals on the steps of the state capitol. Then the police busted him on 2 Indiana warrants, for escape and stalking. This is certainly the guy I would want as my governor, the guy who will stalk me and then kill me on the steps of the capitol because he is a little pissed off and crazy. He would probably also broadcast it over the internet for millions. Nutso.
