Sicko deals with the problems of the American for-profit health insurance and pharmaceutical industries. Its main message is that government-run health care is a better model than the present US health-care system because the present system is designed to maximize profit by minimizing the care delivered to patients.
At one point in the film Moore says: "And the United States slipped to 37 in health care around the world, just slightly ahead of Slovenia.Jun 29, 2007

chatting is so hot right now
hey noggies.. check it out, next time you're reading the noggins drop a line on the new noggin chat box over on the side bar there. just say hi and maybe someone else is being bored to death by my rants too... and you can talk about it. maybe you can meet a hot chick or dude and make a date to watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Film Festival and then get pissed off because the remake is lame then go get drinks. then drink too much and end up making out in a Jack in The Box bathroom.
oh wow it will be fun! chat and see!

damn way to go apple. what the hell is wrong with companies? this is like having Bumblebee NOT a new VW in the new Transformers movie.
seriously you tout this thing as the ultimate handheld gadget and just ignore stuff we're used too on our crappy sub-par "cellphones"?
Hey LG hurry up and put out the "something better" for way cheaper so we dont have to pay for a little apple shaped icon and hip styling. iTunes is a proprietary rip off anyway.

Ride a Skateboard Go To Jail
most of you might not know June 21st was national Go Skateboarding Day. An unofficial skateboarding holiday. A kind of day to stick it to the man and just skate. well some of you might not realise what "sticking it to the man" comes from. Skaters, most of the time incorrectly, are stereotyped and profiled as criminals by the police. We (yea i'll include myself) have dealt with that for a long time. Most cities have outlawed skateboarding in their downtowns and parks while rollerblades and bikes are allowed still. We deal with shit all the time.
anyway, here's a video some kids took from last weeks Go Skate Day...
i wish i could give you a follow up but i cant. this will most likely never go to court and if it does the cops will be found not-guilty of any wrong doing.
welcome to the world of the skateboarder.

20-1 Odds that Someone Will Get Trampled Trying to get an iPhone
"...In fact, BetUS.com figures the odds are 20-1 that someone will get trampled while scrambling to snag one June 29. The site has also put odds on how long the batteries will last and whether the devices will be recalled." - Livescience.com
oh sweet technology Batman. I for one will not be getting trampled, nor even getting in line to get an iphone. A: i have verizon and the iphone is not available on "The Network" B: if it was, I cant afford the bells and whistles wireless plan you need to get 90% of the things that makes the iphone cool.
I think the iphones are going to be the bee's knees but with all the hype there's no friggin way its going off without a hitch. if the format of this entry sucks, its because i posted it via Digg.com's "blog it" feature. (pics and links added later via blogger thank you)
i just thought it was hilarious that a betting website has posted odds on shit like this.. reminds me of that movie Rat Race when they bet everything under the Vegas sun.

CONVOY!
happy birthday Chris "Rubber Duck" Kristofferson.
this lady was a surley old wench. she brought her "mc Big breakfast" back to the counter, cut in front of the line to complain that she only got one sausage. when they told her its supposed to come with only one she bitched about it in her pseudo NY old lady voice. the whole time, even when no one was listening she mumbled about how it wasnt right and how they skimp on everything nowadays. I'll be like that. when i'm 80 all my bitching i do on here will be verbalized in public at a low yet audible tone.
here's my old mouse here at work. i loved this mouse but it died... my new one sucks. :(
this is the infamous Mickey D's i go to. photo courtesy of Google Maps Street View. that shit is the shit.
