I may have mentioned this topic once or twice in the past, but that cartoon brings it home for me these days. I goof all the time about the names the majority of the usual suspects have. Why, just last night I did a post about a guy named Kiarious Marshun Hall. Now - I don't know about you guys, but I'd swear somebody threw a bunch of Scrabble letters in the air to come up with that moniker.
Granted, I'm jaded - with my own over-the-top, plain Jane, white bread, all-American tag, but still, just look at the names of the guys on any NFL team if you wanna see what I mean. Them names didn't come out of any baby name book I ever saw. Juss' sayin'...

THE VIEW’S 84-year-old piece of shit Joy Behar clung to her co-host Sara Haines as she slowly walked onto the stage for her first time in weeks.
The veteran daytime dooshbag - an ugly, angry old hag if ever there was one - fell at New York’s ABC studios late last month and dislocated her shoulder. She has been out since, until yesterday. While she was absent, the show's ratings went up.

While the world’s attention is focused on unrest in Paris, another troubling story is unfolding across the English Channel. England is dealing with widespread shoplifting, robberies, and violence against store employees. According to figures released by Britain’s Office for National Statistics, robberies targeting businesses jumped 67% in one year, reaching 31,089 recorded cases. Overall robberies increased 10%, while police recorded more than 519,000 shoplifting offenses across England and Wales.
The problem goes beyond stolen merchandise. British government estimates suggest convenience stores experienced approximately 67,000 incidents of violence and more than 950,000 incidents of verbal abuse over a 12-month period. Retail workers are increasingly concerned about their safety while simply trying to do their jobs.
Then there’s the immigration question. Britain has faced growing debate over immigration, crime, and public safety. Foreign nationals have been convicted of criminal offenses in England and Wales, but official statistics do not establish what percentage of shoplifting or retail robberies is committed by migrants.
While international headlines focus on Paris, England’s retail crime problem deserves serious attention of its own. Store employees shouldn’t have to fear being threatened, assaulted, or robbed just for showing up to work.

Seein's as how I have nothing to do all day, everyday - at least according to my wife, anyway - I've decided I'm gonna call my local elections office and get a job working at the polls. No heavy lifting involved, and you can pick and choose which days you want to work and where? This is a job for Superman! ...

Buddy of mine just chased a dream moving to the Phillipines. If ever there was a fun, funny, crazy place on Earth, that may be it. He sent me this picture of where he goes to shop for meat. Have we become so jaded here that we couldn't think of buying a steak that wasn't wrapped in plastic? I think the condition of the counter would bother me a bit, but that's just me. He promised to tell me more about his new adventures over there when he sobers up. Gonna be a while before I hear from him again...
