Miss So Belle, my boy Ern Dawg and myself are about to embark on our annual pilgrimage to the Mountains of West Virginia for the All Good Music Festival.
I have elaborate plans to beat the wookies at their own game to secure prime camping spots right when the gates open on Thursday afternoon.
Currently, I am sure the wookies are in the trees plotting their run and the headies have a broken down vehicle on a WV highway somewhere.
The lineup is pretty killer and Panic is bringing the heat in the Saturday prime time spot.
Listen up Wookies, My Jedi tricks are nasty. Game On.
MGWs will resume on next Tuesday if I have any brain cells left. Word.

Lies in the Skies
I have long advocated that turning off electronic devices before taking off and landing on an airplane was completely unnecessary and absolute horse manure not based in fact.
If my Ipod can take down a plane, then the airline industry is more screwed than I thought.
I love being vindicated by a former FAA administrator and current George Mason professor in his recent book:
Donohue argues in "Terminal Chaos" that those iPods, cell phones and laptops you are ordered to turn off during takeoffs and landings actually don't interfere with airline navigation systems.
"The FAA has never been able to confirm these fears, thus private pilots routinely use their computers close to navigation equipment without any problem," he writes in a chapter entitled "Passengers Who Act Like Sheep Will Be Treated Like Sheep."
"The federal government cannot compete with the private sector for competent engineers. The government can't compete with Nextel and AT&T and Verizon and Sprint for the qualified engineers to do modern information technology," said Donohue, who advocates having the private sector play a greater role in modernizing aviation communications. "We're working with a system that is adequate for the 1950s."

"Terminal Chaos"
Fox News Slimes Michelle Obama
It is only July and Fox News already has compiled quite an despicable list of hate smears against Michelle Obama. The woman has two Ivy League degrees and I would argue could be more intelligent than Barack but Fox calls her a baby mama. Take a look at this disgusting video.
I do not remember the so called "liberal" media or Fox News ripping apart Laura Bush in any similar fashion whatsoever. Since the GOP will be thumped in November, it is going to be a looooooooong campaign season watching Fox News completely melt down.

Jersey Girls
America's most infamous 4K hooker Ashley Dupree popped out of her mom's New Jersey mansion for a family shore outing.
Rumors are swirling of a Dupree reality dating show and my TIVO will be set to a season pass of the likely train wreck as quickly as it took former Governor Spitzer's political career to be flushed by Dupree's high priced hum pieces.
Here are more photos of the Dupree family beach stroll.
Cougar Mama Dupree is quite the looker and I can see where Ashley gets her high dollar tastes. Here are more beach pictures from a June trip of the hot mom/daughter duo.

Please No More "Dog Offs!"
I hope everyone enjoyed their long holiday weekend by getting blitzed and partaking in some good grilled grub.
My 4th weekend kicked off by watching the Nathan's Coney Island hot dog contest on ESPN and the "dog off" ending almost sent me to the porcelain goddess like a knocked up female in the AM.
To me, this mustard belt contest appears to have run its course in our pop culture more so than ESPN's over televised poker/degenerate gambling tournaments.
Remind me how is this entertaining?
Last year, I was all pumped Joey Chestnut took the title back to America but this Independence Day, the whole novelty aspect of these eating contests has completely worn off and I am just sicken by the whole spectacle in gluttony. And I LOVE dogs too and usually can not attend a baseball game without downing a bratwurst layered in all the usual ballpark fixings.
I see no rationale argument how a contest of slamming 60plus hot dogs down your throat in 10 minutes should be televised on the premier all sports channel in the year 2008. I highly doubt there is a constituency demanding for it either and ESPN's infatuation with these disgusting "competitive eaters" just seems to be one big subtle grotesque joke on overweight obese America.
Maybe I am the only one that sees the hyped up coverage of this food competition as more of an embarrassment than something to be proud of on our nation's hallowed birthday.
Overall, my weekend was simple, got drunk, watched fireworks, yelled "America F yeah" at every opportunity, drank more, ate mad Maryland steamed crabs at a buddy's 2nd annual crab bake off, got drunk even more until passing out fully clothed on the couch, twice.
I literally spent my whole Sunday glued to the epic Nadal/Federer tennis match(this historic battle needs its own post) and guzzling Gatorade in the futile quest for hydration.
Basically, our founding fathers would be proud of this American.
I never thought I would ever hear the words "Dog Off" in my lifetime.
