Inside the President’s Limo

The President usually travels in what is referred to as ‘The Beast.’ This gigantic bomb-proof General Motors Cadillac with eight-inch thick armour-plating on its doors is usually accompanied by a motorcade of at least 20 vehicles plus a dozen police motorcycle outriders. Of course many of its features are top secret, here is what we do know. Click image for larger view. (via Daily Mail)

Food Police Blotter

The food police are out in full effect doing everything they can to shove their agenda down our throats. The latest example of this comes from the city I grew up in – Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Public Schools have removed chocolate milk from the lunchroom menu saying that it is making our children fat. Desserts have been off the menu since 2006. The chocolate milk kids drink at school may very well be the only calcium they get. Think about it.

It doesn’t stop here though. Some schools in Chicago think they know what diet is best for your child and have banned bag lunches from home.

The attack on McDonald’s continues too. The watchdog group called Corporate Accountability International argue that the iconic Ronald McDonald is to fast food and obesity what Joe Camel was to cigarettes and smoking-related health issues. The food police want him banned. McDonald’s is doing a half-hearted job defending him though. You won’t find him on their website or featured in any ads.

And let us not forget how San Francisco banned the Happy Meal toy unless the meal met certain nutritional standards. TIME had the nerve to ask if the crack down on McDonald’s went far enough.

An interview with the guy that is positive the rapture will happen this Saturday

Harold Camping

Harold Camping

Harold Camping is a Christian radio broadcaster and president of Family Radio, a California-based religious broadcasting network that spans more than 150 outlets in the United States. He is convinced that the rapture will occur this Saturday (May 21st), and that the world will be destroyed by October.

He predicted this before in 1994, but admits he was mistaken back then with his calculations.

Here is a written interview with Camping explaining his reasoning and belief in May 21st being judgement day.

If you believe his prediction is correct, you may want to get right before you get left.

You may also want to have an atheist care for your pets when they get left behind.

All of you skeptics can continue to read Duck Duck Gray Duck on 5/22.

The story of Tom Brusko

I am a firm believer that a good percentage of the homeless people in America choose to stay on the streets rather than take the help that is out there for them. I also know that mental illness, addiction, and any criminal record basically ruins any chances of getting a job or qualifying for a place to live if you ae trying to do it all by yourself. This can be a life sentence for those who truly want to right their wrongs and contribute to society again.

I think we as Americans need to look more at helping those in need on our own streets before cutting a check to help those in other countries. You don’t have to give cash to a guy like Vietnam vet Tom Brusko (shown in video below). Sometimes a hamburger, some toiletries, or pair of tennis shoes can give them the hope that someone cares and that they should keep going. I don’t care what political party you are part of, helping people without judging should just happen once in awhile.

Watch this story about a homeless Vietnam vet named Tom Brusko (a.k.a., Epic Beard Man)  in Oakland. He may have done this to himself, but he’s hurting and that sucks. There are millions like him across the U.S. Maybe this will encourage you to not look away next time you see someone like him.

Osama bin Laden Death Photo

The White House released a statement today saying that Obama has decided not to release any photographic evidence of Osama bin Laden after death. Up until this point I have had a picture on this blog of a supposed death photo that has been circulating the internet. I have no reason to believe this photo is legitimate and feel it would be reckless of me to contribute to it’s dissemination. I’ll update this post if an official photo is released, so check back.

How to celebrate total death and destruction

On 6th August 1945, a B29 bomber dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima.

It has been estimated that over the years around 200,000 people have died as a result of this bomb being dropped.

Hmm, I wonder how we could celebrate this amazing use of military might? Wait, I know! Cake!

U.S. Navy Vice Admiral William H. P. Blandy, his wife, and Rear Admiral Frank J. Lowry cut a cake made in the shape of a mushroom cloud at a reception for Operation Crossroads, November 6, 1946.
