On a Special Whips Edition of MTV Cribs
Well, nothing happened. A plane didn't crash, we weren't attacked. A few people were injured due to the panic while trying to flee. What is the explanation? Would you believe it was a
government-sponsored photo op. That's right, a freaking photo op!
There are so many things wrong with this it is hard to know where to beg
in, but lets start with how terribly insensitive it is to do this in New
York. New York was the target of a terrible attack. I bet you probably remember where you were when it happened. The images of those two planes are tattooed in my mind. Why do it, for a picture of the President's plane. Have you ever searched Air Force One at Google Images? How many hits were there? Go ahead and click on the link...I'll wait. That's right, about 23,000,000 hits. That is
million...now, lets just take into account the lovely shoes by the same name, and say they account for half of the pics, that still leaves over 10 million pictures of the stupid airplane. Why would they need another picture of the same plane?
Secondly, I am glad to see that my tax dollars are being put to work to benefit this wonderful country of ours in the most effective way possible. I did a bit of research and found Air Force One costs approximately $68,000 per hour to operate. That doesn't include the cost to operate the two F-16's that were escorting.
Here's a thought...could someone please remind our President of the seriousness of his job and that he is not on an episode of MTV Cribs? Maybe the federal government should focus on this whole swine flu thing rather than taking pretty pictures of his plane over the Statue of Liberty.

iPhone App of the Week - Terminate Me
Thank you to Scott and Christina for this one. With Terminate Me, you can take a photo of your face and the application adds the Terminator endoskeleton to it. Check it out at the app store.
If you have not seen the trailer for "Terminator Salvation," check it out. It actually looks good. You may remember the story about Christian Bale going nuts on the set of a movie...this is the one.

A Rant About Professional Sports
I am not one to follow sports. I would like to think it doesn't reflect poorly on my level of manliness, but who knows. I just don't find many of them to be interesting. Lets look at the top four.
Baseball has got to be about the least interesting of all. Not a whole lot of action. These world-class athletes sit for half the game, and are considered great if they can hit the ball 3 out of 10 times. How many jobs can you think of that won't fire you if you perform well only 3 out of 10 times?
Hockey died years ago due to a lockout during contract negotiations. Are they even still playing? Ah... who cares.
Football is alright I guess. Its certainly not lacking action. What bugs me are the people who claim to be lifelong fans of the latest hot team. The Arizona Cardinal's success last year was a perfect example. Have you ever met a Cardinal's fan? Me neither... not till last year that is.
I won't take the time to watch the regular season games, but I'll watch the Super Bowl. Any reason to throw a party is a good reason, and the commercials are entertaining. By the way, if you were a true Arizona Cardinals fan, you would have noticed the youn lady in the picture is actually wearing the Cardinal's baseball gear. Did you pass the test?
Basketball would be great if the entire game was five minutes long. The last five minutes of the game is all you need to see. Its the most exciting. Think about it. At the end you get the all the lead changes, the scrambling, the final buzzer shot and a victor is crowned. The back and forth of the rest of the game is lost on me. If the games were changed to dunk contest and three point shooting matches like in the all star game i would watch every single game.
I think I've bashed the major professional sports enough to earn some nasty comments. I'll go after more of them in future posts.
