I don’t know why this made the news. I saw it while I was at the bank today. People are making a very big deal over this and I’m not sure why. Let me go check something…

Ok I checked it out. So from what I gather the state of CA has had IOUs for a while now. With a 26 billion dollar debt, the state surely has not owed this money for just this year a lone.

It is really sad when all of the pork spending causes a shutdown in the government. A shutdown is very much what the governor did. Arnold is not signing anything unless it is needs to be unless it is better for the budget. He refuses to raise taxes again, as he had done so in Feb. of this year. I would have to commend him for that.

Raising taxes is not what needs to take place in any government. You hear that feds? Raising taxes is nothing more than helping elected offitials put more pork into the budgets. Hmmm… I wonder why the US has over a 3 trillion debt? Sending moneys into space to fuck must have coasted a lot, or I’m sure it is something else that is costing the country money.. LIKE THE WAR.

I mean what do these people think is going to happen when they take federal money and pump it back into the states to build a bridge? Or something else dumb. Lets the states handle what they need to and spend money how they see fit. If they don’t want to repair their interstates then no one will travel to their state. simple as that.

I really do not know if ever in my life time of 30 years if the US has ever operated in the black. As far as I know it as always been in the black. I don’t know how a business such as the government stays in business if they are spending the way that they do. Did a bunch of gold just pop up out of the ground or something? Where to they get the gold to back up all the money they print?

They don’t. That is why the US is not owned by the people anymore. It is owned by big business and banks. You know that lean on your car title? Yeah, you don’t really own that car, the bank does. The US government has been selling the citizens of this county to banks and big businesses for years.

Thanks for the fucking freedom assholes!

Ok so I went and watched the new Transformers movie just a little while ago. For name sake, and future, it was Transformers 2. I thought that it would be neat to see what turned up on Amie Street for Transformers. Well by the time I got to transforme the band Transformer was the only thing left. So they are this weeks ASMW.

Transformer is a disco sound. I would call it more of a techno blend to me, but then I wasn’t alive when disco was the in thing. I’m sure in some circles that disco is still hip. Transformer has a good beat to it though, and I’m not saying that disco is bad or dead. It seems to still be alive and well.

Could I dig this track? Sure could. I think that it would be a blast to crank this up and do about 120 MPH in downtown Atlanta traffic. It really does have a “i’m going to drive really fast and crazy” sound to it. Now do not go and do this and say, “Well Mouseclone said that it was ok”, because then I’m responsible for you doing it. (I wounder if that absolves me of responsibility)

So have a listen and judge for yourself. They only have the one song on Amie Street. Maybe if they get the song up to 98 cents then they will add some more. So here it is, the song and the remix.

over the years I have been enjoying Sinfest. A co-worker got me started on it and I check it out about every 2 weeks. Sure I have 2 weeks worth of comics to read, but I have 2 weeks of comics to read! It is a great comic. You will need at least a slightly open mind to have a laugh. So it might not be fore everyone. Here is a teaser:

This past weekend some friends and I went to Candler Park in Decatur, GA. We had a blast. Rusted Root put on a great show. While at the show I was able to get on Amie Street from my G1 and buy a copy of their album, Stereo Rodeo.

We also had hula-hoops that everyone seemed to enjoy. So here is a video, it is sideways and I will update it once I can get time to fix it:

yesterday i took the loaner in for an oil change and they told me that I would have to get a car from Enterprise Rentals. It really wasn’t a big deal until, well until I got in the car. The 2009 Cobalt sucks ass!

There is no center console to really speak of. There isn’t even an arm rest. How in the world can you not have an arm rest! What is the cost of that, an extra $100 or something? I would pay that much for as much time as I spend in the car. No wonder the Big 3 auto makers are hurting. If this is any display of what they offer in a car, then I don’t want to own one of them.

I know that it is small and petty. big deal no arm rest right? Wrong! I spend about 2+ hours in a car every day. If I spent more, I would spend more on my car, but I don’t. The Mazda3 was a great fit for me and the wife, though she didn’t want a manual transmission. The Cobalt, well to me feels like junk. The seats don’t hug at all, and you feel like you are sitting on a cheap couch.

So there you have it. I just really don’t like the Chevy Cobalt 2009 model. On the upside, I have only had to drive this car for one day. I was just called and told that my car would be ready this afternoon. Wootage! I get my Mazda3 back.

By the way, if you live in the Atlanta area, and need a Mazda, then get it at Jim Ellis Mazda. Why the ad? If you tell them that Mark Pipkin sent you, then I get a kick back. Not it is not special, it is something they do for all of their costumers who refer!
