sadmind

My Independance Day celebrations this fourth of July were spent in theever strange metroplis of Jacksonville, FL.

A Little History

There's just nothing quite as fulfilling as watching a historically religiousfigure actually be the namesake of one the largest parties in the world.

Oklahoma you're old but you're no Georgia!

Happy 100th Birthday Oklahoma, the 46th state... land of corn and meth, place where I've been sitting the last week trying to figure out why you are so excited that it's your birthday. I mean you're a hundred... you should be exhausted... go grab a nap.
Ah but the magic of the event is of course the rallying of soccer moms and other persons with 8+ free hours a day making floats and incorrectly assuming the costum [...]

What Google Ads think of me

Apparently the content bots over at Google, who crawl sites to determine what relevant ads should be displayed based on the content of page, have deemed the content of my blog page... well... N.A.M.B.L.A. worthy. Which is rather unsettling.

Here is an example i received when pulling up http://www.daviscomedy.com/blog.html (the home page of my blog) :

If you haven't seen the video of Miss Teen USA's South Carolina contestant rambling on aimlessly in what appears to be the closest thing to a complete thought she's ever processed, I invite you to watch it here:

Now to get a full grasp of this, let's have a read shallwe:

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhm, some people out there in our nation don’t have [...]

How much for the children?

sadmind

So the Catholic church (well the Archdiocese of Los Angeles) is dropping 660 million to victims of sexual abuse. If for some reason this is actually news to you, here's an article you can read to bring you up to speed: http://www.factnet.org/?p=140

According to both the source listed above (which is actually quoting an Associated Press piece I believe) as well as any number of other news articles you can easily Google, there are several little facts to this payout that for whateve [...]
