Stuff I found interesting and thought I'd share.

- Remember how Obama promised Obamacare would cut a family's healthcare cost by $2500? Yeah - not so much. "Broken promises with no repercussions" should be the new motto of the Democratic Party.

- The producers of True Detective are bringing Catch-22 to TV

- Interesting - Mike Tyson helps launch 100 Bitcoin ATM's in Las Vegas. My first reaction was "good for him!" Then I started to wonder if this makes laundering money so much easier.

- Cool - the USS Milwaukee. Can't help but wonder how this ship is going to get from Lake Michigan to the Atlantic Ocean. It's way too big for the Erie Canal - right?

- After reading this I'll never kill another centipede I find in my home again.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I'm pretty convinced that Peyton Manning and his brother Eli only work out with Shake Weights... Heh heh - Time is a Flat Circus (only click if you are a fan of True Detective)... When a bathroom attendant uses the toilet - does he tip himself when he washes his hands?... The Red Cross raised more than $300 million for the victims of Sandy. How did they spend it? I've long held the belief that no executive or employee for a non-profit tax exempt organization should be paid more than the salary of the President of the US ($400,000). If you've got so much money flooding your coffers (no pun intended) that you're paying seven figure salaries - then you lose tax exempt status... Interesting article on what we're learning about the Killer Whales of Puget Sound...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

So Al Sharpton was an FBI informant? That should help his inner-city credibility.... Extreme tree trimming in the days before bucket trucks... Internet fact of the day - Alaska is so big that you could fit the state of New Jersey into it 75 times... Schwartzenegger driving... I think if you randomly inserted Whoopi Goldberg into the show True Detective - it would have been much scarier... JFKFC... You can't have good without evil yet Christianity has official blessings without any official curses. Seems like a missing ingredient... Confession - I haven't missed an NCAA championship game in years yet I have never seen One Shining Moment. Either at a bar and you can't hear song over noise or at home and go to bed. I don't think I'm really missing anything...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Heh heh - Rusty Cohle's OK Cupid dating profile. Funny if you're a fan of HBO's True Detective... Do they call it "Thunder Down Under" because the name "Shirtless White Guys" was already taken?... Big fan of Mike Rowe. Even bigger fan after reading this... Still say that CNN should replace Piers Morgan with Adam Carolla. I would watch that show... Wow - Sandra Bullock could make $70 million from Gravity... New England Church sign: Whoever is praying for snow - please stop!... Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson to publish first cartoon in 19 years. Not much of a cartoon but I'll take it!... Heh heh - Canadians and hockey... On this day in 1983 the final episode of MASH was aired. I was a big MASH fan but have never seen that final episode. Don't see the point of watching it now...
