Last night, Takeaway and I began learning Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D. We’re playing a duet at a friend’s wedding, so Big T put together a little guitar arrangement for us. Sure, the song gets very, very old… and everyone’s heard it a trillion times… but it sounds rather pro. Perhaps I’ll record a full version for posterity’s sake.
Everyone’s favorite disaster response supervisor, Michael Brown, has said that he plans to “tell all”, provided that Papa Bush doesn’t get upset. Seriously, FEMA’s former boss is asking for permission from the White House before giving us the full story about the response to Katrina. Dipshit! What do you think they’re going to tell you? Rightfully, you resigned from your post, so what are you worried about? This guy wins the century’s most clueless person award.
The White House has agreed to divulge details of the NSA wiretap program to a Congressional intelligence committee. However, who the hell cares? All of them are crooked as the Cuyahoga!
This guy makes a pretty good, albeit obvious point - that Homeland Security sure is over-funded, and the chances that one of us will be a victim of terrorism are less than that of getting struck by lightning. So why is it such a tremendous and growing branch of the government, especially when we have other things to worry about?
Oakland, California hopes to enact a law that would require fast food companies to pay a “litter tax” because of all the litter they generate near their businesses. Surely you can see arguments on both sides of the coin, but the tax is fairly nominal, given the revenue of such huge companies. Hmm.
A 300 lb. woman is suing an airline for requiring her to purchase two seats. You know, normally I’m in favor of the airline in these situations… but given the size of your average coach seat, I think we should file a class action lawsuit against ALL airlines to force them to make bigger seats! How about that?!!
A first-grade student was suspended for sexual harassment. He allegedly put two fingers inside a girl’s waistband while she sat in front of him. I think his mom summed it up best when she said “He’s only 6 years old.” Seriously, are we going to start seeing kids under 10 locked up for playing doctor?
Oh man, this is rich. Two teenagers, 18 & 19, broke into cars and then went on a shopping spree, using the credit cards they found to buy things. One of their stops was at a Giant Eagle, where the elder used his Advantage Card to receive a discount! Genius! They were apprehended shortly thereafter.
Here’s some carved guitars to look at.
