McRib Mystery Explained (partially)

The Godfather and I are huge fans of this mystery McDs sandwich. He also has blogged about its pork goodness/elusiveness recently. Well, NPR has researched the subject and have documented their findings in this article and podcast (its a good listen): Fan Alert: The Wild McRib Has Been Sighted
There is also google maps mashup tool (user contributions) for locating their availability: McRib Locator

Would you vote for Rich Whitey?

Found this at another blog and thought it was too funny. The fact that it mostly occurred at predominantly minority polling places makes you wonder if it was intentional. Can you see a minority individual going into vote and having a choice between several candidates and one of them is Rich Whitey. I don't see him getting any votes in these wards.

Denver Hosting Nascar Race......sort of

And watch the other related videos from the same episode! They are all greatness. And how about their corporate sponsor?!?!?
Best part about this South Park parody is Nascar drivers get it. They are not mad and actually appreciate the publicity. They know that nothing is sacred with South Park writers......

Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

This bridge engineering is greatness and an awesome tribute to one of my favorite American heros! The Godfather took me to see the construction a year ago.
Hoover Dam bypass bridge dedication planned next week

Going Postal..

The postal service union has determined that thousands of mailed out ballots for the unions own election have been lost in the mail. I'm sorry, buts thats funny.

I continue to use the mail for bill paying, hey I'm old school, because I like the act of sitting down and seeing where all my money goes to when I write out my checks. I think it helps reinforce that I need to spend less. If I just clicked on a button to pay a bill I don't think it would register as deeply as when I write out a check. I do have two bills that do get taken out directly out of my account and it just doesn't seem to be the same.

Congrats to Kim Jong Il's Offspring!

On their well deserved promotions to Senior (4 Star) Generals.
Kim Jong Il Promotes Youngest Son and Daughter
N Korea is very well run country and is destined for greatness based on Kim Jong's leadership and these recent promotions.
And I love the fact that his kids were educated outside that country.
