The Secretary of State can go Suck It. In the most politically correct way.

The post for today will be dedicated to the horribly slow services the secretary of state offers. Patience is a virtue and all, I, of course, respect that. I also respect that the Lake Orion High Schoolers who made the winning video for the drunk driving awareness commercial contest must have beat out millions of contestants in the battle for the 'coolest' lame video. I just don't think I needed to have watched it about 6 times.
On that note, the Pure Michigan commercials. They show beautiful vacation spots exemplefying the 'pureness' of Michigan, when we all know that these ads are merely a last crying attempt to resort to tourism in the troubling economic times. Look at the pureness of this lake! From this great photography and notable angle, you can barely tell that the e.coli count is too high for you to even swim in it! Not that this is a blow at Michigan's lakes, because they are beautiful, and the contaminated part is bascially constrained to the lower more industrialized areas of the state. But no worries, it's an immune system boost!

Teen Choice Awards- Miley Cyrus...?




Tonight, I sat down to watch the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. I was thoroughly enjoying a rightfully cheesy show with its celebratory surfboard awards given to an undeserving recipient based on the biased opinions of America's preteen cult of Zac Efron worshipers. Then out of the blue pops Disney's overpublicized brat of a teen star Miley Cyrus. Ok, that's cool Miley, come out and steal the show and all, declare Britney Spears your idol, flaunt your brand new nose ring, thats great. But you kind of went up in smoke right about when you spun out in your daisy dukes and stripper pole. That's nice. Won't it just be adorable when all your little fans grab the floor lamp and start humping it?

But if you look at it from a completely political and medical stand point doesn't it just make sense? she's singing something called party in the USA. and if you go to prom, sometimes there should be a pole between couples so the aids epidemic will stop. So maybe, just maybe Miley, you've caught on to something grand. Kudos to a good, politically exbounding show.




So today I started segment II of drivers training with Mr. Don Schmaltz. What a wonderfully joyous experience listening to his "back in the day" experiences in that monotonous toned voice of his. The best part, completing the experience of my first day, was definately the movies. Watching Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's family vacation drive off a cliff really hit me hard. Almost as hard as seeing Christopher Reeves telling me that drunk driving could be fatal. I can only hope the 80's driving movies to come will be as intelectually entertaining as these.
