DC has the worst traffic

It's true.  Perhaps it's not the worst in the nation but its up there.  See..... And some studies have said the DC commute is the worst.

I was driving home today and I swear every student driver and their 80 year old grandmother was out driving.  On top of that, everyone in the DMV decided it would be a great time to hit the road at the same time so there was bumper to bumper traffic on the beltway for a solid ass 40 minutes no joke and there wasn't a broken down car or accident in sight.

I almost flipped the fuck out.  Really.  If I'm sitting in traffic that ain't moving, on a road with no stop light there better be a good ass reason.  I'm talking a circus parade or some shit.  On the bright side, at least it was going home and not going to work.

If only the legal system worked this way

Wacky things have been all over the news lately, like the Carnival Cruise poopaster...err disaster.  Or the double amputee speedracer that murdered his model girlfriend?  Um...you are going to wish you were with her when you get to prison.... cause you are cute and can't run no where. 

Damn.  I went there.

But holy smokes, what about the jackwad that slapped a two year old on a plane??!!  And it wasn't his kid?!!!  WTF, America?  Who does this?  I wish we could sue people's parents, this guy is f*cked up and I just cannot believe there were no warning signs.  A racist bully sociopath that what he is.  I've been on planes and there is that little cringe when crying babies get on them.. but you know what?  They are babies/children.  Plane trips are scary to kids and adults in general, all those people and it's a little chaotic.  Don't even get me started on that ear popping issue - which a baby or little kids wouldn't even know how to do (to release the tension) and gawd forbid if the little person has an ear infection or is sick.

It's a big to do for big and little people.

You don't go around slapping people, ESPECIALLY not kids and ESPECIALLY strangers kids.  Holy shit, imagine if you could slap people, it would be mass chaos.

Hardships come with life, but you don't assault children.  How that hell did this guy get a managerial position?  I'm glad there is major backlash and he got fired.  He will be forever humiliated.  I wish I could slap him.

Beaver attacking a geezer

Reason 54 as to why I don't exercise.

this is also reason 22 why I don't swim in ponds/lakes. .. that and barracudas, alligators, anacondas, piranhas, chupracoabra and any other thing that lives in the wild and can attack people.

yo, keep your ass in the house.

damn.

but the lady lived.  yay darwin.

Never dissapointed

True story.  I went to Big Lots.  If anyone has ever been to Big Lots you know that it's quite possibly a couple steps below Walmart but there are some great deals.  Maybe things are past the expiration date, 'retro', and you seriously need to avoid eye contact with the other shoppers but it's worth a trip.

So, I'm at Big Lots in Vegas (take all of the above and multiply the 'awesomeness' err... optical travestry by 3) and my friend said that after milling about in the store that his kids are A OK.  That they could very well run for public office in comparison with folks onsite.

I'm won't deny, that comparatively they seem like Valevictorians... however... is it really good to have such low standards?  I mean, it's great for ego building purposes but come on.  The folks at the store were a couple Darwin steps short of  chimps... and I'd have a pretty solid argument that I'm insulting the monkeys.  So, do you think it's good to have low expectations to not be disappointed?
Or should we aim for the stars to strive for more?
Discuss.

huuuc... (that's the sound of throwing up)

yeah.. so.. two articles prompted today's reaction.  What the hell is wrong with people?!  The pictures so do the articles justice, you should click on it.  But I must warn you... you may die a little on the inside, after you read the articles.

Cruise debacle

this will make sense if you are from DC.....

that awkward moment on WTOP when the newscaster briefed on the Italian Cruise ship disaster story to come.... and they played a commercial for Norwegian cruise line.

FAIL.
