The Phoenix is landing on Mars....did you know?

ogreoregon's picture
Sometme today the new Mars lander The Phoenix, is to reach the north Pole of Mars!  Where is the coverage?  Current news is talking about Gossip, Movie Stars, and all kinds of things that seem to drive the deja Vu gene......subject the same, names change.  This landing we have been waiting for since August of 2007 and it should be enjoying overwhelming coverage. not much mention in the network news, and in my local newspaper....NADA but about 4 or five lines.
Enjoy coverage here http://www.nasa.gov/
Things are happening in real life....inspire the future generations of the GFL.

No coverage because they have to keep bombarding us with why each of the presidential candidates should/or shouldn't be President.  Enough already!!!!!!!!!!

I really hate the way the media covers "news".. poor Miley Cyrus

ogreoregon's picture
Here is a sweet young girl, getting a great spread in a very elite magazine, by a famous and award winning photographer and what should be a great reward for Miley, for being popular, talented and a good role model, is being hijacked   by media and celebraties alike and turned into a scandal.  Her photos are very nice and she is really very sweet looking and one would see more of her if she wore a bathing suit.   But SCANDAL SCANDAL SCANDAL is all I have heard and I am appalled at all the money and effort being used to create  this ficticious Blitz.  Where is the smart and reasonable media coverage?  It used to be we could count on the media to seperate truth from fiction but no more,  If there is no scandal they will MAKE their own, and try to make money from it.  Now even her parents have to defend themselves and since the consensus seems to be they did something wrong in allowing the  pictures. They can't just say "shut up and and go away", they have to say whatever the media wants them to say now that they are being critisized, thus perpetuating the mess!   What the media should be doing is  reporting on things that really are important and could make this place a better world.  How different it would be if the media instead pointed out how great the pictures were, and how Miley deserves her new found attention and that she is a talented teen and a really good role model,  letting her enjoy the attention and reinforcing her fan's choice of her as a positve role model.

I heard of a similar "Scandal" involving hulk hogan rubbing suntan lotion on his daughter.  wow these people are deperate. however Mj voiced on the side of reason. nothing like reason from 6-9 am or watever....

the ONLY reason this is getting so much press

treed's picture

-is because of the press, not the fans. and photographer is not just an award winning one, she is the TOP photographer of celebrities and dignitaries around the WORLD, the media is making it out like she is doing porn photos. anyways, good rant doll

FLUSH YOUR TOILET!!!

mumo00's picture
I've stated on other forums that i'm in the pest control business. Part of my job is eliminating the various insects you get in your home. Sometimes(alot actually), this means treating the bathroom areas as plumbing drops tend to be access points for pests.Now i've been in 3 million dollar homes and 3 thousand dollar homes and one thing is consistant.....YOUR SHIT STINKS!! For the love of God man, flush the fucking toilet, especially if you know you're going to have a service person work in your bathroom. If you're that proud of your shit, take a picture and hang it on the wall but then flush it afterward. It's a goddamn shame i even have to rant about this but John Q Public seems to have a flushing problem.

IT's lies all lies

of all the weird and creepy stuff you come across in peoples homes, keeping their identity secret of course, and make a scrapbook or post it online in a verminator blog,  I bet you have many untold stories......
and many of them no one would believe.....the more the better,  they would help me feel more....normal.

The Horror, the horror

mumo00's picture

Ogre you're right, you would not believe some of the "things" i've seen. And don't worry, you're normal. I don't want to keep a scrapbook though, the mental images seered in my brain are quite enough......this probably explains my somewhat anti-social exsistence......in the immortal words of private Pyle " I am in a world of shit"


oh the things I've seen

Mc B. Well as a retired NYC cop I'm here to tell you people are fucked up! All it takes is entry into someones house and you see it all. Oddly enough it spans all financial lines. After 18 years working in some of the city's finer ghetto shit holes my wife insisted I transfer to a tamer area to try and gain back some of my humanity. Low and behold same shit goes on just in a nicer atmosphere. Even your best friends, you never really know what goes on behind closed doors. Even here in the Rants forum, in fact I can tell you..........

Ever worked on a shelf toilet?

They're all over the place in Germany...  disturbing...  That or the standing toilets you see at rest stops along the Autobahn...

bad design water saving toilet

They might be stuck with poorly designed water saving toilets the kind that flood the rest room if they are flushed twice

Aww crap

Do people really do that. that is so digusting.

I usually smear it directly on the wall. Taking a picture of it just isn't the same

Vomit

Gmork's picture

So I knew what I was getting into when I welcomed into my home a great dane puppy.  Said puppy is now 7 years old and 200 pounds and everything he does is done in large porportions - eat, poop, and yes, vomit.

 

My Significant Other cooked up bacon for breakfast and left the drained grease in a bowl on the kitchen counter.  After forgetting to dispose of it, my dog ate the enteire bowl of bacon grease...then preceeded to vomit up said bacon grease along with his dinner.  This morning, my dog puked up breakfast as well.  Two doses of Pepto Bismol later and the dog is on the mend, but the aftermath of the dog's vomit has to be steam cleaned out of my hallway carpet.  Grrrr!


That's one of several

Wolf's picture
That's one of several reasons I own a Pomeranian. He's about the size a good Dane turd. I just hold him out the window and give him a little squeeze and his business is done.

Hold and squeeze?

Gmork's picture

I was trying to work the logistics of that out in my head and I just can't ...although I'm with jam...that makes for a freakin' funny visual.

 

Yup, your dog probably is the size of one of my dog's turds.  Poo-poo duty around my house is more akin to searching for land mines. (how's that for a visual!)


Now!

SynapticJam's picture

There's a visual for ya! 

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)


I feel for you both.....Poor doggy and poor Gmork.

ogreoregon's picture

I hope you are both recovering.......
good things come in big packages......Great Danes are so special...I had a friend who had one years ago and she was the sweetest thing...I had never been around such a large dog before and I just loved her.  I do remember the kids hating to be on "poop duty", but I think that's a given for any kid having to go pick up any pet poop.
*I am the Rear Admiral but Sigler gives the Orders*


I got lucky...

Gmork's picture

Yes, the dog is doing much better. All the vomiting stopped last night but I came home during lunch today to ensure he was going to make it through the day without spewing some more (which he didn't). 

 

To your comment about Great Danes being sweet...it is true - for most great danes.  I got lucky and got the rare dane that is territorial, temperamental and slightly aggressive.  He's fine with people he knows but if someone tries to pet him while I walk down the street he has a tendency to snip at them.  Doesn't happen with everyone, but I still can't figure out what sets him off.

 

My significant other says the dog can tell when someone is afraid of him....I just think the dog is a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling.  That being said, he's my bastard and I love him to death.  Like I said, I just got lucky!


Connor loves pesto

BarbaraJ's picture
My sheltie dog, Connor, got his fangs on a container of pesto.  Talk about fun.  Vomiting, the runs ... the salt and vomiting threw his med levels off so my epileptic baby also had seizures.  Poor baby.  Did he learn anything?  No ... a week later he tried to eat a firestarter.  Yes, a firestarter.  Wax, paper dust other nasty things.
I love my dogs, but not a one of them has a brain.

Wow...that sounds awful!  for both the dog and yourself.

 

At least I know I am not alone, you know, with the whole stupid dog thing :)  Thanks for commiserating!

Dr. Phil D'Amato of The Silk Code has 194 fan (193 of whom are not me) and Pookie currently has less than ten of course, with the exception of me, they are all the cool kids.

Driving While Texting

BarbaraJ's picture
What is it with people who think they can operate a car and text their little dumbass friends at the same time?
Some moronic blonde hair farmer with a gigantic crop of mall bangs smashed into my co-worker's car when we were at lunch.  Here's the best part, she got out of the car -still texting- and gave us that little "one moment please" finger in the air whilst she hit send.  She then proceeded to explain that "we came out of nowhere".  I told her, "No, sweetie.  We didn't come out of nowhere, we were on the road just like you.  Only we didn't have our heads up our asses."
ARGH!!!!!!!!!

I am sooo with you sister. I made a similar rant about cell phones in general on my blog the other day. I even came up with a simple solution. Laughing ...Tsolo888 <AKA Cpt. Travis Ellis> - Out, Click here to Digg Infected


Read your blog... but you didn't exclude the Infected ringtones

I didn't notice when you changed your pic. I don't spend as much time here in the

I had a similar experience....

ogreoregon's picture

While driving to work the guy in the car next to me was texting, he had both hands going and was steering with his knees!!! I had to get a picture of that, so I started digging  around in my purse for my camera/phone..... well I finally found it and got it out, and when I was next to him I rolled down my window and held out my phone to aim it at him.. it was a little awkward, but I leaned out, I had to use both hands, one to hold the camera and one to hold onto the door, I  too was steering with my knees at that point...but I got the picture.  Some people!!!!

-texting and talking on phone while driving is gonna be the number one cause of road rage, i swear it. saw a woman race threw a 4 way stop with phone to her ear doing 40-45 in a 30mph zone

Grrr.

Insignificant Blood Splatter's picture

I HATE that! I don't know about where you live but now it's a law you can't talk on your phone while driving. But you can if you have a bluetooth and it says nothing about texting! Hello! The PHONE is the distraction, talking on it. If you're going to ban talking on it ban it all. Plus when people see a cop they'll just hide their phone for like five seconds and then continue. And the cops can't really do anything about it. Just tell them not to. How lame is that!?

And something I hate more than texting and driving? Drinking and driving. And getting away with it! It's just such crap!

OPRAHELL in podcasting

treed's picture

-just more of the same
i am embarressed to say i looked her up in iTunes (couldn't but see her there, she's even got Apple cowled)
Started reading the critiques, half or better say the same thing
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, OPRAHELL"
they say it nicer, but the meaning is the same, she talks OVER the expert, won't let him finish a thought or sentence. oprahell and her damn ego.

JUNKIES, i have a mission for you, should you decide to accept it.
go to iTunes find her podcast (you'd have to be BEYOND techtardom if you can't find it) and leave a RESPECTFUL review/crtique to tell her to SHUT THE FUCK UP, but do NOT use those words (that is rude and iTunes will delete it) be nice, use respectfull language, BUT TELL THE B****(almost, almost typed that word) TO SHUT THE FUCK UP and let the person SHE is showcasing to SPEAK. maybe this way she will hear what we all know to be true that she needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
go my fellow junkies, go and attack, as sure as her mindless minions would if they had half a mind between them all.

I hate it when absolute

SlackerQueen's picture
I hate it when absolute fucking strangers stop their car to try and talk to you,even though you blatantly ignore them and they repeatedly try to ask you questions (how old are you? what's yor name?) to the point of following your house. This happened to me today and I am fucking pissed about it, he's long gone by now but I still can't help but feel pissed off.

have a male friend follow his ass home then post his address here. Having more than a few Junkies show up at his doorstep to piss on his welcome mat just might exorcise the perversion right out of him. Chicken scissors, anyone?
