Action Hero Fact of the Day
“The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has tried singing songs to praise the glorious name of Vin Diesel, but each time they try, they are transcended to heaven.”
ScanAmerica.us brings you live streaming audio of police and emergency band scanners from across the United States.
Browse by State and County.
Unfortunately, the only Michigan bands are from the Detroit Metro, but I guess that area is more entertaining for scanners than most of the rest of the state anyway!
Cathy Sullivan-Seblonka, Committee Member for “One Book, One Community” Program
“One Book, One Community” is a locally organized program that combines the local residents and University residents in reading one chosen book to come together and discuss the book, and gather as one large community.
This is currently the 3rd year for the program.
The current book The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. A mystery story that is a “true page-turner!”
Its officially on like Donkey Kong. The race to the White House on the campaign trail in 2008 that is. There has been so much talk of former Democrats that were supporters of Hillary Clinton jumping the fence to the McCain Camp. And likewise, there has been rumblings of former Republicans tired of the same ol’ song and dance from the GOP hopping onto the Obama-ma-tron (yeah its new, I’m coining it, spread it around!)…not to be confused with Obama-Matrons. Obama-Ma-Tron is like a dance move, or a super cool future robot, or Six Flags Ride…..
Anyway. Today’s [Web Droppings] is for those of us that are sick of both parties. Sick of the bickering. And most importantly, sick of any kind of reasonable thought. Allow me to present our next POTUS, Sean Masterson, Republicrat!
Just some of Mr. Masterson’s radically innovative ideas:
Economy: “I will double the value of the dollar overnight,” says Sean Masterson. How? “By discontinuing the $1 bill and issuing new $2 bills we’ll call the new dollar. Exchange your old, weak $1 bills for the new, superstrong $2 bill today! Two is the new one!”
Immigration Reform: We’ve always welcomed the best and the brightest. Once the 700-mile wall between Mexico and the United States is completed, we establish a 100-mile long “Obstacle Course to Freedom” corridor in the desert, ensuring that only the fittest, most able-bodied immigrants make it into our nation.
Gay Marriage: Yes. Because everyone knows sex after marriage is nonexistent. So if you oppose gay marriage, you’re actually supporting more gay sex.
Republicrats is a web-exclusive video series from MSN Video, and is sprawling into so much more! So take a break from the poison of politics, and indulge yourself in the comedy of the Republicrats, because “Two parties weren’t confusing enough.”
…Sure, it boils down to a creative attempt to get users to upload videos to MSN Video, but damn its fun!

6 Insane Sports That Could be in the Next Olympics
“Sure, we were inspired when Michael Phelps broke every world record ever despite a presumably painful condition that causes him to [crap] gold medals. But take a look down the roster of Olympic events and you’ll see those … other sports. The ones that draw crowds with less energy and a higher concentration of parents than a 5 year-old’s piano recital.”
Jonathan Ke Quan – Actor, The Goonies, Indian Jones & The Temple of Doom: 37
Action Hero Fact of the Day
“Forget Micheal “Mermaid Baby-Eater” Phelps! Mr. T won 23 gold medals for the little known event of ripping scalps off. He then had the medals melted down and fused to his skeleton in the form of gold chains.”

” If at first you don’t succeed, you must not be Vin Diesel.”
In case you missed yesterday’s show, we discussed the news of two US hunters who say they have found the body of the hairy ape-like creature that they claim to be the elusive creature known as Bigfoot, and will back their claims up at a press conference today. We’ll be following this story closely (and by we, I mean me…JP, the nerd). More on this after the break. Read the rest of this entry »
