In the waning hours of the night, I take off my shoe and throw it at my television.
I know way too much about anyone and everyone involved in the political system. There's way too much information floating around; information that I don't need to know.
We've elected leaders in our history before without mass media such as the internet and television. Can TV not be so up-to-date on everything that happens? I want to go back to a simpler time when I can get up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, read the paper, and then go about my day. In fact, we could all do that. Get up, read the paper, and move on. Maybe go to a barbeque. Two barbeques, if the day lines up just right.
Regrettably, things are not that way. Instead, I have a thousand voices a day screaming at me, telling me what they think is most important, and most importantly, what they think is even true.
My radio:
Oh, hey, Paul, did you um, hear, that, uh, Barack Obama isn't even American? Did you know that?
My TV:
Hey Paul, look over here! Um, okay. So John McCain, is like, confused about his houses. What do you think about that?
My Comedy Central variety shows:
Yo Paul! That Sarah Palin (Insert whatever played references you like. Shotguns and bikinis. Expensive clothes. Hockey mom. Lipstick. It's all the same- I don't care.)
It's not even the slandering that really bothers me. People have been slandering each other for eons; we just have a more efficient way of doing it now. That's fine. More power to you if you can knock the other guy down a peg or two. This is way things are, so get over it.
Okay, I have.
What really slaps me in the face is coverage of things that don't need to be covered.
My TV:
Paul, did you know that Barack Obama is set to meet with President Bush in the White House?
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me, TV. The current President meeting with the next President. Why wouldn't they meet? They have to run into each other sometime, if not on move-out day at the White House. So why not plan it?
But, but . um, did you, did you notice that we have experts on today?
Oh, really? What do the experts have to say about this "breaking news?"
Oh, um, really great things, Paul. Really great. They're um, going to be speculating on what might be said between Obama and Bush.
Huh. Really. What are they speculating will be said?
Well, definitely something about transitional advice, certainly.
Uh huh. Sounds groundbreaking, TV.
Oh, it is, Paul. Your life will be changed by what we guess will probably be said by in a very informal, probably mostly congratulatory meeting between the current President and the soon-to-be President.
I'm sure it will, TV. Hey, TV. Do you want to hear what I think my boss will say to me when I go into work today?
Uh, what?
When I go into work today. I'm going to say hello to my boss. Do you want to know what I think he might say to me later?
No, Paul, I don't think I do.
And why not?
Because that sounds boring.
Exactly. So why don't you make your story more interesting? Are they going to exchange any foods?
Will Mrs. Obama be making some sort of cookie platter? Is there going to be a pot-luck? Is the whole family invited? Where are they going to be sitting? In the Oval Office? In the living room? On the grass? On a blanket in the grass? Oh, please tell me that the Bushs and the Obamas are going to have a picnic on the front lawn of the White House, and Mrs. Obama is making cookies, and Bush's daughters have Super Soakers, and Bush will be in a bathing suit drinking a beer, and he slaps Obama on the back, who is also in trunks and sandals, and says, "Barack, let me give you one piece of advice. Don't ever talk too much." And then that's it. That's all the words that they have of any "importance." The rest is all about which world leaders smell the worst. Is it going to be like that, TV?
No, Paul, it's not going to be like that, I'm afraid.
Aw, shucks. Take this!
I then chuck my size ten Chuck Taylors across the room.
Watching the news channels during election time was like watching ESPN when not many games are going on, and they start doing stories like what Ben Wallace's mother does on Saturdays. Why do I care what flea market she goes to, and what great deals she gets on hams? They just stretch the time with little to no substance. Why the hell do I care? I'm not interested.
I can't take this anymore. There's too much out there, and anyone can say anything about anything and be right. No one even knows what's right any more. I overheard a fifth grader talking about how Sarah Palin didn't have "enough experience" to be Vice President. Apparently he was qualified to know how much experience a V.P. is supposed to have; I'm not even sure I am. I scoffed at him, walked away, but secretly wondered if he really did know more than me, the arrogant bastard.
I know too much. I don't know enough. I don't know how much I know. I'm unsure about what I don't know. I wonder about the things that I'm supposed to know, and am certain about things I have no business knowing.
It's all just too much information. Let's turn off our TVs and have more barbeques. Sorry, TV.
(sigh) That's okay. Hey, you wanna watch The Pick Up Artist 2?

Toriko is a Shōnen manga series by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since May 2008. The story revolves around the eponymous character's adventures as a Gourmet Hunter, a hunter of rare food ingredients, scouring the world for more delicious things to eat. Joining his adventures is Komatsu, a chef working at the Gourmet Hotel, and a gallery of other characters with varying personalities that make the world of Toriko a lively and colorful place.The series is noticeably Retraux, pulsing with testosterone and being filled with incredibly buff men reminiscent of older manga such as Fist of the North Star or the early parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Modern-day Shōnen tropes like Muscles Are Meaningless, Idiot Hero, Kid Hero and Bishonen Jump Syndrome are avoided. This series also contains gratuitous amounts of Food Porn, and thus, readers are not advised to read this manga on an empty stomach. There is also an OVA, a crossover with One Piece has aired, and an anime adaptation debuted in April 2011 (simulcast and licensed by Funimation). Along with fellow shonen anime Dragon Ball Z and Fairy Tail, the anime for Toriko is currently one of the most requested shows for Toonami on [adult swim].Compare with Shokugeki No Soma, another Shonen Jump manga about Food Porn.

Greg Teeters' 1970 1/2 Trans Am makes good use of its available 530 horsepower, thanks to a one-of-a-kind 488 cubic-inch, aluminum block, Ram Air V engine. To say this one is rare is a gigantic understatement.
Unobtainium: (Noun) A facetious term used in automotive circles to describe any part that is almost impossible to obtain.
It seems that in the 40-plus years since the legendary Pontiac Ram
Air V came and went, more of these mythical beasts have been sighted recently than at any time in the past. We find that fact amazing, considering that the engine never went into series production and was only available through the dealer parts network. Somewhere between 80 and 200 engines were built and a good share of them were destroyed in racing or unceremoniously scrapped by the factory.
With the odds very much against them, a handful of very dedicated enthusiasts have pooled the very limited supply of available parts together and actually succeeded in the difficult, time-consuming, and expensive pursuit of building complete, running Ram Air Vs. We have even chronicled several tunnel-port-powered machines in the past few years, including Tom Schlauch's '69 Trans Am 303 R/A-V short-deck stroker, Chuck Henley's "Ray Faro Pontiac" '69 Ram Air V Judge, and Jim Pickett's Ram Air V-powered '61 Tempest wagon, to name just a few.
Greg Teeters' 1970 1/2 Ram Air V Trans Am is a little different, a rarity among rarities, if you will. Greg is a guy who likes a challenge, and after several GTO Judge restoration projects, he was looking for a new one. Most people embark on easier pursuits, like atom-splitting or climbing Mount Everest, but Greg decided that a Ram Air V project would be perfect.
As most of you know, the Ram Air V program was a stillborn effort by Pontiac to work around GM's anti-racing ban, offering privateer racers an engine competitive with Chevy's Mark IV V-8 and Chrysler's infamous Hemi. The plan was to introduce a high-revving, ultra-heavy-duty Pontiac V-8 with a forged bottom end and a set of heads copied largely from the 427 Tunnel Port Ford. Using such huge ports necessitated several changes, such as a revised valve layout, pushrod tubes going through the middle of the ports, and of course, a specific camshaft, as well as intake and exhaust manifolds.
The plan was a success, and though it wasn't a great street engine, those few that were raced did very well, putting full-bodied GTOs into the low 12s-not bad for a 400 cubic-incher. Though it was supposed to result in production Ram Air V GTOs and Firebirds, ultimately management killed off the project because of the tightening emission and safety regulations, as well as backlash from the insurance companies. The engines that were built ended up going through the parts network for dealer installation. Yet another opportunity to put Pontiac at the top of the heap in the horsepower wars was crushed.
Going On A Diet
In Greg's case, it wasn't enough to build a Ram Air V engine that would resemble a factory installation. It's been done, so he wanted something a bit different. The recipe for his project included a very special piece from a later Pontiac development program, namely the 455 Super-Duty.
In 1972, Pontiac Special Projects worked with Reynolds Metals and Sevakis Industries, a Detroit-area firm that did the machining on the aluminum Chevy Can Am 430 program. Using a high-silicon Reynolds 390 aluminum, the block was cast from a special mold and featured a beefed-up lifter-bore area, siamesed cylinder bores, 3-inch mains with splayed bolt caps and dry-sump provisions. Like the Chevys, they were designed to run sleeveless-the pistons rode directly on the aluminum.
The block was intended to put Pontiac back on the map in the gas, dragster, and Funny Car classes, most likely topped off by modified 455 Super-Duty or Ram Air V heads. With a stock 4.21-inch Pontiac 455 crank, the displacement could reach 507 cubic inches, using the maximum-recommended bore size of 4.375 inches. Even with the beefy iron main caps, the total unit weight comes in at just 94 pounds, more than 100 pounds lighter than a factory iron block.

Actor Kevin Farley can go wherever he damn well pleases -- this according to an L.A. judge, who just denied his ex-girlfriend's request for a restraining order.
As we reported, Kevin's ex Fayrene Byrd-Doig filed a request for a restraining order last month against the actor -- claiming Kevin had threatened to kill her.
Kevin shot back, claiming Fayrene's a "sick woman" who has concocted dangerous lies in an effort to get back at him for breaking things off with her in 2009. Looks like the judge agreed.
Kevin tells us, "I'm just glad it's over."
Kevin looks so much like his brother that it's almost scary.
ANOTHER psycho chick found out. That is too rare since most get away with it. Good for him.
I've been involved, albeit briefly, with two certifiable nut cases in my life. They didn't look crazy on the surface, but it sure was wonderful to finally get them out of my life. Some scary people out there! Kevin, you have my sympathy.
Fayrene Byrd-Doig? Is that her real name? Nah, can't believe it.
This skank is holding a grudge from 2009?! SERIOUSLY!?!
Men that are violent ALWAYS blame the woman, saying she's crazy or sick or whatever. Proud of yourself, fatso farley? Too bad she didn't get the RO.
Was he going out with a cartoon character? WTF is a Fayrene Byrd-Doig?
This chick is so ****in' nuts. She's hops from one guy to another just so they can support her. She's been around town with an old black dude now. Probably her new pimp. She was with the hockey guy for money, sex and love. Then on to Farley for money and now on to a new sucker. And she has kids. Poor kids. HA!!!!!
Faye is beyond Sick...Gold Digger big time. She will f@ck anyone who has a dollar in their hand. Her poor kids
my friend was in the court room kevin farley admitted past abuse and cause of her loosing her unborn child. it was also herd that he was at her home weeks back . fay's evidence of the violent recording was not herd by the judge thats why restraining order was dropped. case is not over and judge said its for another court ..
i know Fay, kevin clearly is the one posting these slander comments. As for the black guy you refer to kevin as a pimp because nobody knows but you and your atty she was with a black guy that day. Well he is one of the most respected agents in hollywood a friend of twenty years .. I see kevin does not like black people .
My friend was in the court room, kevin admitted past violence and she lost the baby. The order was drop the judge did not hear the violent vm and said this case needs to continue in another court! seems there is more to this story !
fay is a good mom we talk frequently and she is all about her kids! she goes so far as to build her life and schedule around them... i know this to be 100% the truth.. as far as being psycho and jealous and all those other things people are insinuating....get over it...if anything she a lil vanilla and boring as shes a stay at home mom in Los Angeles that rarely goes out! those two comments i know to be the truth! sss
The girl kevin brought to court is just a sick as kevin. Fay told Mrs London was there . Isn't she the girl that married her ex live in boyfriends twin brother.!!!???? thats some weird **** !!!
I am a personal friend of fay and just read all the slander remarks that clearly is kevin still trying to hurt her,, you people dont have facts AT ALL!
#2 kevin tried to hurt fay 3 years ago by lying to the courts she was a bad mother which done extreme damage to her family . he then writes a letter a few months after stating what ever he said to the courts he was it to be strike and that fay was only a good mother. then kevin changed his mind again and hacked fays computer and deleted the letter he wrote which fay had one copy already printed. i know fay severed kevin to go to court and a violent vm ... all these matters are being filed or will fay speak to tmz unlike kevin needing attention. fay is all class and what farley did is sick !

Children Living With Hunger in North Carolina
(NNPA) - One in four children live on the brink of hunger in North Carolina. Three and a half million children in America, ages five and under, are food insecure. These are just some of the statistics recently released in a report by Feeding America, a network of churches and organizations striving to change this problem.
Report Shows Need for Tougher Hate Crime Laws
WASHINGTON (NNPA) - Wade Henderson, the executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the Michael Lieberman, Washington counsel of the Anti-Defamation League, said hate crime is becoming a serious problem that needs to be dealt with as the country's demographics change and technology becomes a tool of information and activism for hate groups.
Wilmington Attorney Challenges Bar Association and Country Club
WILMINGTON, N.C. -- Two years after the construction of the Cape Fear Country Club, Wilmington suffered the infamous race riot/massacre of 1898. Recently, over a century later, Attorney Peter Grear refused to attend an event held there by the New Hanover County Bar Association and met with a country club board member about the "history of racial exclusion and exploitation" at the root of his objection. He also wrote bar association President Alex Dale, explaining his position and requesting that it be shared with other bar members. The event was co-sponsored by the bar association and the New Hanover-Pender Medical Society.
New CBC Report May Give Peek at Presidentís Black Agenda
WASHINGTON (NNPA) - A bi-annual report released last week by the Congressional Black Caucus may give a sneak peek at President Barack Obama's agenda for Black America. "We have a very forward-thinking, progressive, bold agenda and that's what we're working on in terms of the Congressional Black Caucus agenda - but also the president's agenda - which 99 percent of the time is in sync," says CBC Chair Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) in an interview with the NNPA News Service.
Political Claims Get a Reality Check in "Policy and Evidence in a Partisan Age"
No matter where you get your news, politicians' and pundits' hyperbolic claims about public policy are almost unavoidable. Regardless of past results, we are told that a proposed policy change is sure to turn around a sagging economy, transform failing schools, or eradicate poverty. In Policy and Evidence in a Partisan Age: The Great Disconnect, Paul Gary Wyckoff presents an accessible, compact, and iconoclastic exploration of the paradox between the exaggerated claims made for public policies and the reality of their limited effectiveness.
Studying the Suburbs
With over half the Canadian population now living in the suburbs, Dalhousie University Architecture and Planning professor Dr. Jill Grant says it's an obvious time to study this increasingly popular living option – one that remains a bane to planners and urbanists. Are people drawn to the concept of perfectly matching houses throughout a neighbourhood, the "little boxes" as the famous song goes, or is it the slightly sterile lack of urban energy often associated, fairly or not, with life in the 'burbs? More likely it's a desire for living space that feels shiny, new and most of all, roomy, that one is increasingly hard-pressed to find in the downtown core of most Canadian cities.
Rural HIV: Surprising Stats, Stigma & Sexual Behavior
Headed up the highway on a 60-mile roundtrip from his home in a small Vermont town, Jonathan Heins is on a weekly run to pick up the multiple drugs he needs to manage HIV. He's been infected since the early 1980s, before these meds existed; he has no idea why he, unlike so many of his friends from the time, is still alive. "I was told to get my affairs in order," Heins says from his cell phone, "an easy job for me at the time. I had a few pairs of sneakers and some underwear. But I'm still alive."
