20 Greatest Monty Python Sketches

Great article here with clips showing the 20 greatest Monty Python sketches. I’ve always enjoyed watching Monty Python movies and sketches but obviously I have not even scratched the surface as I have not seen many of these sketches. I’ll just have to talk to my sister who is a huge fan she will point me in the right direction. Until I talk to her I’ll just have to enjoy this clips.

It’s Official My World of Warcraft Days are Over

After three years of playing a game that sucked many days from my life I have finally broken the addiction. I haven’t played in almost 6 months and officially canceled my subscription today. It feels good, while I did enjoy my time in Azeroth I realize now that the whole game is nothing more than a time suck. It causes problems in many families (luckily not mine) and causes kids to act insane at times (see video below).

I’m glad I never got to this point but than again how many actually do. Just for proof see cancellation details below.

Mary Landrieu Senate portrait

I received this in an email the other day some interesting and scary facts. I think it’s crazy that this country continues to let these ‘politicians’ spend and spend until they are red in the face. While we all sit here working our asses off trying to make a decent living to support our families. I respect the leadership and strength that was shown by our founding fathers but have not seen those qualities in any of the politicians that currently sit in D.C.. The answer to every problem this country faces can not be answered with another tax. If it were up to me sitting in Congress or the House would be handled like jury duty. We need to get the lifetime politicians out of Washington and back into real jobs so they can start paying some of these outrageous taxes.

Email posted below:

How many zeros in ONE billion? This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.

ONE billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it’s releases.

  • ONE billion seconds ago it was 1959.
  • ONE billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
  • ONE billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
  • ONE billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
  • ONE billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our     government is spending it.

While this
thought is still fresh in our brain…

let’s take a look at New Orleans ..

It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans.  Interesting number….what does it mean?

  • Well… if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528.
  • Or… if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
  • Or… if you are a family of four…your family gets $2,066,012.
