Visit Cafe Chaos for music.
Specializing in the Atlanta music scene, but will feature national and international artists as well.

The French Canadians totally get me.
Also, the French Canadians are probably the coolest people in the world.
French people are really cool, Canadians are really cool, so put 'em together and voila!
Full disclosure, my wife's family are Quebecois on her mother's side, so I may be a little biased.

Teabaggers in Action -- Chapter the Fourth
Today's Teabagger is Minnesota state senator Dan Hall.

Dan Hall claims to be able to read at a sixth-grade level, but that seems a bit dubious listening to this rambling word-goulash of a speech.
Oh, and here's a tip for aspiring public speakers. If you hear yourself beginning a sentence with "My friends are minorities. . ." just stop. There is no good ending to that sentence. There is no way that thought ends without you looking like the ignorant racist that you probably are.
Especially if your speech is anti-integration. And extra-especially if you use the words "segregation " and "integration" interchangably like Dan Hall seems to do in this clip.
So good job, Minnesota teabaggers. This is the guy you put in the State Senate. Were you trying to make Bachmann look like a reasonable choice by comparison?

Safety? But what about the whole Gulf thing? With the 11 people killed? And all the oil in the water?
The best year in company history, other than the biggest oil spill in US history?
That's like saying Bush did a great job on security, except for 9/11.
I know. I know, people really do say that.
Other bonuses given out include:
To Charlie Sheen for most sober year in Hollywood history.

To Rutgers University for best year booking guest speakers.
Transocean awards safety bonuses to execs
I'm sorry, what kind of bonuses?
. . . executives at Transocean—which owned the Deepwater Horizon platform that blew up and claimed the lives of 11 oil workers while touching off the BP oil spill—are collecting safety bonuses for their performance in 2010.
Safety? But what about the whole Gulf thing? With the 11 people killed? And all the oil in the water?
While noting "the tragic loss of life" in the incident that led to last summer's Gulf disaster, the company said in a regulatory filing that it would pay two-thirds of a possible safety bonus to senior managers because—outside of the Deepwater Horizon explosion—the company's 2010 safety record was "exemplary," claiming it was "the best year in safety performance in our company's history."

Reality TV star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi earned $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University recently, $2,000 more than Nobel Prize winning author Toni Morrison will receive to speak at the school's graduation.
And the award for mother of the year goes to. . .
. . . This Lady!
Beauty Pageant Mother Injects 8-Year-Old Daughter with Botox and Takes Her Waxing.
According to The Sun, "beauty-pageant obsessed single mum" Kerry Campbell gifted her daughter Britney with Botox injections for her eighth birthday last year. Botox injections are now a regular part of Britney's beauty regime – once every three months – which also includes waxing.
"I know one day she [Britney] will be a model, actress or singer, and having these treatments now will ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer."
"My friends think it's cool I have all the treatments and they want to be like me, says Britney. "I check every night for wrinkles, when I see some I want more injections. They used to hurt, but now I don't cry that much…I also want a boob and nose job soon, so that I can be a star."

Gohmert Stakes His Claim to the Title "Craziest Member of Congress."
I don't know what's crazier, the idea that Obama has some secret officer corps or whatever that he can call up at a moment's notice, or the thought that the President of the United States would intentionally deplete the military in order to acheive some sort of vague but nefarious goal. Either way, ball's in your court, Bachmann!
Seriously, though, there is something horribly wrong with this country if people like Gohmert and Bachmann can keep getting elected. People who seemingly go out of their way to show themselves as mentally unstable should not be put into any position of responsibility. I wouldn't hire one of these nutbags to manage a Starbucks, let alone be an important part of the Federal Government. How can this happen? Aren't their constituents embarrassed every time they see their representative on TV? How do you have a discussion about any subject with someone from another district without that person throwing "yeah, well at least we aren't represented in Congress by Louie Gohmert" in your face? How do you look at yourself in the mirror knowing that you voted to put a lunatic like Bachmann in a position of importance in the government of the good old U S of A?
Someday, when historians are analyzing the collapse of the U.S. they will look at clips like this one and ask "what the hell made people think that they should choose paranoid crackpots to be their leaders?" and surmise that we all must have fallen under the spell of some doomsday death cult or something that made us wish for our own destruction.
