…who threw the puppy off the cliff?

Yeah, the Marines shit-canned him.

Stupidity+YouTube have been and continue to be the ruin of many-a-career.

A few months ago, a large tax cut was approved to help bring movie/commercial production work to Wisconsin. First, Johnny Depp came to town and got everybody all lathered up. Now… Epic Creative Communications announced that it will be building a huge new production facility in West Bend, down by the rihhhhhhver.

Congrats to Jimi, John, and the guys at Epic who have a nice studio… but really deserve this new one. (yes, that’s me sucking up ).

From an iReport on cnn.com…this guy has brass balls, no brains, or both.

Skip to 2:40 to get to the guts of the funny.

At 4:30 this morning, I saw an extremely bright lightning flash that was followed by one of the loudest claps of thunder that I have ever heard. About five minutes later I heard sirens that seemed to turn off right by my house.

My neighbor’s house, about forty yards away, was struck by lightning. The ladder truck was up and I couldn’t see how much damage was done, but they had the full arsenal of fire trucks from the Mayville Fire Department on the scene.

I hope that everyone is okay and that the damage is not too severe.

I decided that I don’t do enough for charity. So, as of today I will be donating all royalties from this file (available for purchase at iStockphoto.com) to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I will also match the royalties dollar for dollar (e.g., $1,000 in royalties = $2,000 donation).

Donations will be made annually on 12/31.

I have been enjoying my new TV and digital cable…between AMC, Universal and TCM I have re-visited LOTS of great movies. With that, I give you: Gordon Gecko.

I’m kind of an asshat because I forgot to say congrats to my great friends Brad and Ericka! They got married a little over a week ago……..

Finally.

Congrats.

2,600 GM employees at the Janesville assembly plant will be out of a job soon as General Motors announced today that it will close the plant (and three others) by 2010.

High gas prices and a union that has always thought it was entitled to ungodly wages and benefits are to blame.

ThePlanet.com, home to over 9,000 website servers, suffered from a transformer explosion on Sunday afternoon. The explosion and subsequent fire at it’s Houston-based H1 Datacenter took all of their servers offline, though they did not destroy any servers. The radio stations’ (WBWI/WBKV) websites were among the thousands of websites that were affected by the blast, and at the time of this post, they are still not fully operational.
