End the Reality Siesta in Mexico
So anytime there's a news item about Mexico, particularly about corruption or the drug cartels I check it out. I do have some distant relatives that live in some of these areas. Also, I use the articles to talk myself out of travel to Mexico anytime in my lifetime. If you've read my previous post about Mexican tourism, you may have already [...]

I keep seeing a commercial from Jack in the Box where a stoned guy can't figure out the two tacos for $.99 deal. My first thought was, why isn't anyone outraged?

Phelps Bong Water Furor
In light of the Michael Phelps bong faux pas and his 2004 DUI charge, people are again talking about athletes as role models. How horrible his actions are. What a disappointment. Blah. Blah. People it's a bong. Nobody was raped, shot, or killed. So calm down. Phelps said: "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated [...]
Suntan Drug Greenlighted for Trials
What is wrong with white people!?! This needs to filed under creepy and weird. I know that it has a practical medical application, but come on! It reminds me of that South Park episode where Kyle gets a "negroplasty" to make himself black and taller. Wired Magazine explores this weirdness: A drug that stimulates the body's tanning [...]
