Frozen solid

Life is pretty much at a standstill at my home base and many others across the Midwest and Northeast… We had a major snow storm and it turned into a major ice storm as temperatures warmed up.

While Armageddon has yet to occur, several forecasters were calling for it. Grocery stores were filled with rude and ignorant humans.. And an occasional bike purchase was made, for some strange reason.

Being prepared is fine. But being prepared by buying every gallon of milk in nonsensical. 

People need to watch more PREPPERS

Porn's influence is real. Sex education is the answer by Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

This is a dry graphic article but also eye opening . While I’m not a proponent of banning anything I still think that it’s worth debating for the societal aspect of what porn is doing to men, women, and relationships.
And also, the UK GUARDIAN referring to ‘seagulling’ in the report is pretty darn British. I don’t think you’d see that in USA today.

Just fake.

The best thrill of the super bowl was watching Bruno Mars’ hair stand still for 10 solid minutes.

Justice Antonin Scalia says World War II-style internment camps could happen again

Justice Antonin Scalia predicts that the Supreme Court will eventually authorize another a wartime abuse of civil rights such as the internment camps for Japanese Americans during World War II.

I know, there are politically charged arguments concerning Scalia’s comments.. and lots of left leaning folks are slamming him. *(Just as right leaning ones would if Ginsberg or Sotomayor said it)* .. but I agree with him in principle. And certainly, looking at the way human beings act during difficult situations, the way they panic, and the way they haphazardly pass PATRIOT ACTS, it can happen again.

Mila Kunis is the new face of Jim Beam. And no matter what you think, if you drink a lot of it, you will not get women who look like Mila Kunis. But you certainly may get those who look like Meg..

Second thought.. maybe you will get Mila, too?

TV Ratings: Super Bowl XLVIII Is Most-Watched in History With 111.5 Million Viewers

Final ratings are in for the 2014 Super Bowl — and, contrary to early returns which saw the game ranking fifth, the blowout did end up being the biggest to date. An average 111.5 million viewers tuned in to see the Seattle Seahawks blow the Denver Broncos out of the water, making it the most-watched Super Bowl and the most-watched show in U.S. television history.

And think about it.. the most boring Super Bowl of all time with the most mediocre ads and lamest half time show getting more ratings than any other event in UNITED STATES history. That’s a lot of history.. and a lot of events that mattered much more than a game between two teams that make millions of dollars a second more than you do in a lifetime.

See here in America, we tend to ignore the important things and focus on what does not matter at all..

The sleepless in Seattle ragers most likely watched the game to see their city’s team win.. And they rioted.

Meanwhile, in the Ukraine, people took to the streets to protest what actually mattered. The scenes of fire and flame may be similar, but the issue at hand is much different. Here we get inflamed over the trivial and meaningless.. in other parts of the world, some things are still worth fighting for.

TV Ratings: Super Bowl XLVIII Is Most-Watched in History With 111.5 Million Viewers

Here are some images of rage in the streets. People, drunk on their own selfishness and alcohol, pretending that a football victory means something and celebrating it shows manliness.

Glad the season is over..
