Because I enjoy hearing varying points of view, I turned on Glenn Beck today as some background noise. He spouted off about Obama hating white executives and it literally made me stop what I was doing and turn up the TV.  I truly hope nobody that watches Beck’s show actually believes what he says.

Here’s the transcript from Beck’s (worthless) show earlier today…

As the legendary Paul Harvey would say, here’s the rest of the story (or quote)…

“I think whether or not my children or your children will have to struggle with these same issues depends on what we do – and whether we take some mutual responsibility for bridging the divisions that exist right now. And I really want to emphasize the word responsibility. Whether you are a white executive living in the suburbs who doesn’t want to pay taxes to inner-city children for them to go to school, or you are an inner-city child who doesn’t want to take responsibility for keeping your street safe and clean. Both of those groups have to take some responsibility if we’re going to get beyond the kinds of divisions we have right now. “

Reporter: Can you tell us what you really think about Chris Pronger now?

Adam Burish: Ha Ha – I think Chris Pronger is the biggest idiot in the league.  I can’t stand the guy one bit.  I hope I never have to see him again. And if I see him out there, I might punch him.

Reporter: Did you – ah – happen to see the Chicago Tribune’s depiction of him in a skirt. They called him Chrissy Pronger?

Chris Pronger: Ha ha. No, that’s perfect. He should have worn that out here tonight. He was terrible.

Thank you, Bryan.

Looks like Chicago’s economy has truly hit rock bottom.

Seriously?

I like Jimmy Johns and all but no food – regardless of price – is worth this wait.

Nicole, thank you.

I can only imagine how much file footage of a BP Gas Station in 2010 would cost.

I assume this shot is from 2001 after OPEC dropped their pants/price of oil to apologize for 9/11.

From earlier today…

How long until this racist CNN article gets pulled/edited?

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/06/08/rage.obama/

Angry black man…nice work, CNN. How about changing the story title to something like, “Why Obama doesn’t dare become the ‘angry man’ or “Why Obama doesn’t dare become the ‘angry president?”

Also, the article reads like something you’d find in The Onion. When you’re trying to front that you’re a legitimate news source, that should never happen. Good job, John Blake – the unemployment line blows from what I hear.

Once it gets pulled/edited…here’s a screenshot. Click on the image a few times and you’ll be able to read it.

Gordon, thank you.

I love you, Chicago.

I usually don’t post something if it’s submitted to digg but this is too awesome to pass up.

Angela, thank you.

This kid’s only responsibility in life so far was to NOT fall asleep while Barack Obama was speaking.

Earns a F.

P.S. Kalamazoo Central, even disregarding the kid falling asleep, could you pick a lamer crew for a backdrop shot?

Ries, thank you.

Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

Milon, thank you.

May you enjoy Meet the Press again like you did back in the Tim Russert days when I used to interuppt your Sunday morning viewing.

Nasty!

As mentioned here, BP needs a logo/brand name change if they want to survive.

Or, as mentioned here, will BP just run commercials like Toyota is on an hourly basis?

I’m a foodie.  I’m a blogger.  I don’t blog about fast food.  I’ll make this short.

Going back to my first job out of college when we actually called the local McDonald’s to confirm their McRib actually included pork – former coworker/buddy is Muslim – I’ve been obsessed with all things fast food rib related.  So, it was only natural that I document my “experience” with BK’s new Fire Grilled Ribs.

Ordering:

No, I’d never order something off a fast food menu by it’s full name but figured it was worth correcting myself since I was recording me ordering ACTUAL ribs from a fast food restaurant for god’s sake.  Yada, yada, yada – point is, it’s pretty tough saying “BK Fire Grilled Ribs” instead of just “ribs.”

Presentation:

The “combo” comes with a drink. Worst combo ever.  The cost was $4.23 and all that was received was 3 ribs and a medium coke.  3 ribs aren’t enough to fill my 6 year old niece and/or nephew.

Taste and Review:

The ribs tasted…wait for it…great!  Seriously, even without dipping them into the sauce – which I recommend – I’m a huge fan.  Will I ever order them again?  Absolutely not!  Why?

1) Ribs should never be consumed fast in a seedy restaurant. That’s like mixing oil with water.  It’s like praying to god in a gross airplane bathroom instead of at St. Patrick’s cathedral.  I could make up more analogies that make me chuckle and confuse everybody else…but, I digress.

2) Cost.  It’s not that I mind spending money on ribs, but, I mind spending more than $8 at a fast food restaurant for a main food item (ribs, burger, chicken, etc.), fries, and a drink.

Recommendation:

Go get your order of BK Fire Grilled Ribs today…after you refi your house.
