There Is Awesome…

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

And then there is super duper mega-ironic awesome. Like this fer instance…

The Los Angeles-area Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences, named after Gore and pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson , was built atop an environmentally contaminated piece of real estate, the Los Angeles Times reports. Some are now raising concerns that the $75.5 million school — which sits across the street from an oil well — may pose long-term health risks to its students, faculty and staff, as the groundwater beneath it is contaminated by chemicals.

Thank you, God. Thank you. Because the only thing better than the delicious irony of Al Gore using more energy in his house than most third world countries is the uberdelicious irony of the school named after him and established in the name of Environmental Sciences being located on a toxic waste site.

Awe-some.

Totally awe-some.

Helloooooooooooooo Irony

Charles Darwin’s family suffered from the deleterious effects of inbreeding, suggests a new study that serves as ironic punctuation to the evolutionary theorist’s life work.

Pioneer of the theory that genetic traits affect survival of both individual organisms and species, Darwin wondered in his own lifetime if his marriage to first cousin Emma Wedgwood was having “the evil effects of close interbreeding” that he had observed in plants and animals.

Okay, now that is really, really funny. He won his own award.

Well Isn’t That Ironic?

Sen Roy Ashburn: “I hate gays I hate gays I hate gays I just blew a guy in a gay bar and I liked it I hate gays.”

Joining a long list of Republican legislators with a history of opposing gay rights legislation who turn out to have gay – ahem -sympathies, is State Sen. Roy Ashburn, who represents parts of central and Southern California.

According to Sacramento-based CBS13, Ashburn was “was arrested for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning. The California Highway Patrol pulled over Senator Roy Ashburn at 2:00 a.m. Wednesday after an officer noticed a black Chevy Tahoe swerving at 13th and L Streets.”

Okay, now that’s some funny right there. That would be like me screaming from the top of my lungs that I hate beer, hot wings, and scantily clad women and then getting caught walking out of Hooters. What a friggin’ hypocrite. I’ve said it a billion times before… I don’t care what floats your boat as long as it doesn’t sink mine, but don’t bitch about the boat I’m sailing when it looks exactly like yours either.

Two Feet Of Global Warming Coming My Way

Friday, December 18th, 2009

According to the latest forecast we’re looking at a possibility of 2+ feet of snow hitting us in my neck of the woods. snow2

I’m expecting more along the lines of 1+ foot, but I’m not ruling out the possibility of something much worse. snow

And on the other side of the world, President Obama is talking about giving $100 BILLION dollars a year to third world countries to fight “man made global warming” (which is a diaper load full of stinky, sticky baby shite).

So we’re getting hit here with a blizzard, a lot of people are unemployed, the US is so far in debt that if it cost a nickel for Uncle Sam to take a crap he would be forced to throw up, and the President is traveling via fossil fuel powered jumbo jet to a country on the other side of the world to give away billions of our dollars to other countries to fight something that doesn’t exist.

Nice. I think I’ll go out drinking tonight.

Irony

Not just your run-of-the-mill Irony, but tasty, satisfying Irony. Irony so delicious it should be featured on the Food Network. Read on…

The unionized workers on the Teamsters Washington-based national staff are locked in a contract dispute with their own labor organization, and Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa is warning local officials of, as he puts it, the embarrassing prospect of a strike.

And if his own workers do walk out, Hoffa wrote in a letter to Teamster “principal officers” around the country late last month obtained by POLITICO, the national union or International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) will be forced to “make contingency plans to operate.”

How does that shoe feel on the other foot there AFL-CIO?

Embrace the suck.

Monday Demotivators

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Sorry I’ve been off the grid for a couple days folks. I had to helps some friends of mine move… not that you really give a rat’s ass about that. Here are the demotivators that I should have posted on Friday but I didn’t. And yes, they’re all mine…. I’ll take the credit if you like them and the blame if they suck.

Now This Is Irony

BOSTON – A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. The couple became the public face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages became legal.

The divorce case was filed last week in Suffolk Probate and Family Court and was not unexpected. The couple announced they were separating in 2006.

Wait a minute, they were married just two years and they already got divorced? Considering the brevity of the marriage this divorce can only mean one of the following:

1. This was just a sham marriage/publicity stunt to further gay marriage in the first place.
or
2. Gays are just as screwed as straights when it comes to failed marriages.
or
3. They’re channeling Mickey Rooney

I’ve said it a billion times and I’ll repeat it again; I don’t care who you love/hump/marry/whatever as long s the other is a consenting adult for whatever species you’re getting it on with… but you would think that if you’re leading the charge as the pioneers for gay marriage in your state you might want the length of your marriage to be longer than the warranty on your washer and dryer.

Just sayin’.

Tragically, Fixing That Tripping Hazard Was #37…

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Freeman died Aug. 17 after falling at his Venice home and hitting his head, his father, Roy Freeman, told the Los Angeles Times on Monday.

What? Too soon?

Yes, it’s a tragedy. However, the first sentence of this story had me laughing so hard that my sides still hurt.

A Random Picture From My Safari

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

This one is for Missa.
