Don’t Forget to visit my Environmental Blog, The Fatty Cares

Another case of American Government thinking they are better than the rest of the world for absolutely no reason other than to promote the crappy industries that destroy our environment and make politicians rich. 

AP - The United States and Europe are working together to tackle global warming, the chief U.S. climate negotiator said Wednesday, deflecting growing criticism within the EU and the developing world over Washington’s perceived go-it-alone stance.

Video: US Comptroller on 60 Minutes: says America is facing total collapse

I’m guessing it has something to do with the current administration…

The US Comptroller, the government’s top accountant, says the US is risking total bankruptcy if trends continue on 60 minutes segment. The nation incurring a massive debt on the next generation with its present policies. In 30 years time, the US will only have enough money to pay the interest on its debt, with no money for the military.

Attorney General Gonzales resigns: official

Notice that all the ”Blemishes” of the Bush Administration resign just before being ousted by the American Public. None of these guys will stand up and take it like a man, they all fade away so Americans forget that OBVIOUSLY Gonzales isn’t behind this, The Bush Administration is. How quickly we will forget. 

Reuters - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned, an official said on Monday, ending a controversial tenure as chief law enforcement officer that blemished the administration of President George W. Bush.

Most US adults in the dark about world politics

The only surprise in this article is that there aren’t more adults “in the dark”. Also, makes sense why we have President MonkeyFace in office, again… 

AFP - Two-thirds of US adults admit to being in the dark about political issues outside the United States, and only a third are well-versed in US politics, the results of a poll published Tuesday showed.

Rule to Expand Mountaintop Coal Mining

Seriously? Who put this man in charge? 

The Bush administration is set to issue a regulation that would enshrine a coal mining that involves blasting off the tops of mountains and dumping the debris in valleys.

President Bush Ordered to Release Overdue Global-Warming Plan

Way to kill us all President Shmuckface! 

Uh oh, it looks like the Bush administration has some ’splainin to do. The U.S. government has violated federal law by failing to produce a study on the impact on global warming, now nearly two years overdue, a federal judge ruled. Judge Saundra B. Armstrong of Federal District Court in Oakland Calif., said the administration has “unlawfully withheld action” required under the Global Change Research Act of 1990 to update a research plan and scientific assessment of climate change and its effects on the environment, including land, water, air, plant and animal life, and human health….

58% of American’s Get Fooled by Spam

 STUPID AMERICA! Just proves my theory that if 58% of Americans are stupid enough to “get fooled by spam”, I’m guessing that same 58% also is who put President Bush into power. Nice one America. Nice one…

58% of American’s don’t even know that online scams exist. So, when the get spam, they assume it is real. Consumer Reports says Internet scams have cost American consumers $7 billion dollars since 2005

Junk In A Box: The Madness Begins with a 300-Page AT&T Bill for iPhone

 I’d like to put my “Junk” in her “Box”… this post was mainly just for that line, but enjoy the fact that AT&T is wiping out entire forests in just a few months.

Following this weekend’s Gore Alert post, Justine Ezarik —of JustinTV fame— has just received her first iPhone bill. Three. Hundred. Pages. See her unwrapping the package from AT&T in the video after the jump.

Come back later to find out what she got for her 300 sheets. For that price, I’d want oiled-up Greek boys—or failing that, Spanish ones. [Tasty Blog Snack] Junk In A Box: The Madness Begins with a 300-Page AT&T Bill for iPhone

World Military Spending 2003 - 2005 - No Surprises

Well, maybe a few surprises. America is obviously spending a lot of money on the military, but obviously this money doesn’t all go to wars and the “tools of wars”. I’m sure much of this goes to the no-bid contracts of Halliburton and just furthers the wealth of the Oil and Military producing conglomerates out there. As the Daily Show pointed out as well, there are lots of “stuff” missing too. Where did it go? Did it ever exist?

Funny Picture Making its way around

My father just Mass Sent out this picture, it’s funny, but it’s not that funny. Luckily in the web 2.0 world, I don’t have to blast out shit like this, I can post it here for everyone to see.

Drug Slang Dictionary from WebMD gets Crunked

My favorite part of the article is the opener:

Is your teen robotripping on CCC?
How would you know if you don’t even know what that means?

Honestly, Parents do need to be educated, but this list should be 30 pages long, there’s at least 20 slang terms off the top of my head that weren’t included in the WebMD Drug Slang Dictionary for Parents. In addition, there are no slang terms for Cannabis Sativa. Does that mean the WebMD doesn’t really consider “Marijuana” a drug? Anyways, here are my favorite Slang terms:

Snow: Cocaine. Synonyms include Charlie, crack, coke, dust, flake, freebase, lady, nose candy, powder, rock, rails, snowbirds, toot, white, and yahoo

Amazingly, I learned something new, which definitely edged this post from the “hmmm… Interesting” category to “Stupid America”

Cheese: This is a hazardous mix of black tar heroin and Tylenol PM or other medicines containing diphenhydramine). It looks like grated parmesan cheese — thus the name. There were more than 20 teen deaths in Dallas and surrounding neighborhoods that have been attributed to Cheese since it was identified in 2005.

and one more for my homies:

Crunk: This is a verb that means to get high and drunk at the same time.

Marijuana dealers offer Schwarzenegger $1,000,000,000

 Ummmm, this is why the American Government is Stupid. First, California State Laws allows Medicinal Medical Marijuana clinics. Then, the law is implemented and everything runs smoothly. Now, US Government is spending their time busting Marijuana Clinics instead of protecting us. Below is a news story that just proves that the American Government is too stupid to realize that making money at the same time as helping people is a good idea.

A coalition of California marijuana growers and dealers has offered Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger one billion dollars to solve the current state budget crisis. According to economic studies, regulation and taxation of marijuana could produce six billion dollars in additional tax revenue. “Marijuana legalization is inevitable,” Schaffer says.
