This just really irritates me. The economy is in such turmoil, that police and fire fighters are being laid-off, public assistance is being cut, unemployment rates are still high and county and state buildings are closing one day during week to save money.
Yet...the city of Los Angeles is going to foot the bill for Michael Jackson memorial service expenses.
Give me a break. Hey L.A did you pay for Farrah's service, or how about the Oxy clean guy Billy Mayes. Nope, in fact we barley even heard about them in the news. All we heard was Michael this and Michael that, well since he was so famous as to override everyone else, can't his family and friends pay for his service expenses?
I am sure L.A could find better uses for its money, like say gang control, how about clean up some of the neighbor hoods. $1.4 million is a lot to waste in this kind of fashion, and very pathetic if you ask me.
$1.4 Million Dollars

I have seen some silly kitchen accessories but this is too much. A circular saw for cutting pizzas and pies and it really looks like the saw, only really small.
The Pizza Boss 3000, is made of tough plastic and has a stainless steel blade. This cutter must have been developed by a man, any reason to bring the tools indoors I guess. LOL
Unlike a real circular saw this one does not take batteries or gas, just a little muscle power to get it to cut through that double cheese and pepperoni pizza or homemade cherry pie.
So who would this kitchen accessory be great for? Men of course and with cool gadgets like this, they should spend more time in the kitchen, right!? I mean if it was meant for a female I would have been pink. LOL

A father and his son in Mastic Beach, N.Y., are going to have to pay town officials nearly $20,000 in fines. How did these fines accrue you ask? Well, town officials had to remove more than 42 tons of garbage, debris and car parts from the fathers property.
The father told officials that his son had acquired all the "junk" while living on the property, but that did not put him in the clear. He reportedly has to pay town officials nearly $9,000 in garbage removal fees. that is insane, $9,000 dollars worth of garbage...how could one allow that to happen?
The son did not get away without punishment as well and he has to pay $10,000, possibly more for violations of the battery codes. During the garbage removal and injured Pit Bull was recovered and sent off for treatment. Once the garbage, all 42 tons of it, was removed from the half acre property, the house was condemned.
42 tons or garbage, equaling ten garbage trucks from a single home....

With over a year left in her term as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin announces that she is stepping down as Governor.
Palin says her decision to leave is what is best for Alaska. She also said that she has bigger plans for the United States and although not confirmed, there are rumors that she may possibly run in the 2012 presidential election.
There is still a bunch of confusion as to why Palin decided to resign. Many say it is because of the investigations going on regarding her and her family and possible finances, other speculate it has to do with the comments made regarding her one year old son Trig, who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome.
Palin says that she "knows when to pass the ball so a team can win." Her next step is still a mystery with very little information being offered up regarding her future plans. Sarah did say however, that she will not be seeking re-election in 2010 for Governor of Alaska, which is probably a good decision.
There are many other officials who agree with Palin, saying her decision was smart and in the best interest of Alaska and its people, even with all the money ($150,000) that was spent on her clothes, hair and makeup.

Have you ever heard of a seastead? No, I did not think so.
A seastead is the same thing as a homestead, only it would be located in the middle on the ocean, hence the word "sea."
The Seasteading Institute, is working to create homes, communities and even societies on permanent platforms (seasteads), out in the open ocean. Sounds kinda neat, but is it possible?
Sure it is, anything is possible if you believe!
No, seriously it is possible...ever been on a cruz? A cruz ship has everything you need to survive, does it not? They have electricity, food, water, internet, doctors, heck they have restaurants, stores, tennis courts, swimming pools, exercise rooms, thisa room, thata room.
Cruz ships really have it all these days, and the people on board are able to live comfortably. So why not on a seastead? The seasteads would be larger of course, than a cruz ship, but it is definitely possible
Imagine living hundreds of miles away from land and having everything you need to survive. You would have electricity, a home, food, clothing, perhaps even a job, all on one of these seasteads.

"Taylor Swifts raps with T-Pain as T-Swizzle"
When I first saw this, i was like "what the ...."
I like country music, it is my favorite type of music, but as far as rap goes, well it is not my first top 10 choices of music....sorry, nothing against it, Just not my thing. Anyway, I had to check out this video and see what this crazy girl was up too.click here to see rap video featuring Taylor Swift and T-Pain
Okay, I have to admit, I thought it was funny. She looked so cute bouncing around all over the place, flopping her arms about, all gangstered out. Come on, you know you laughed at some point, even if it was ridiculous. Do not worry she is staying with country music, which she is much better at.
I mean could you image if she did start to rap....

At 24 years old, Cameron Sinclair from Australia (a rider with Metal Mulisha), landed a double
back-flip the first ever in a Freestyle Motocross Competition. While at the third event of the Red Bull X-Fighter Tour in Texas last week, Cameron awwed the crowd by landing a double back-flip in a freestyle run. Then to keep the fans on their feet and shoot for first place, he landed the double back flip yet again on another run.click here to see video of CameronBoth landing were hard and Cameron had to be helped off his bike, because his ankles hurt and were bruised. Unfortunately for Cameron, his incredible and daring double back-flips did not win him first place. Nate Adams, an American Rider, took first place while Cameron took third.

As if being the tallest skyscraper in the United States is not enough, the Sear Tower, had to go even further. Glass balconies have been added to the 103rd floor Skydeck and offer an amazing, breath taking and near fainting view.
The balconies go out from the building four feet and are nearly all glass the sides, top and yes even the bottom. Those that have already been able to venture onto the balconies say it was hard the first time and even though they knew they would not, the thought of falling passed through their mind.
One of the property owners said that the view from the balconies is "the world most awesome view." I bet it is the most awesome view of Chicago, that anyone could experience, but not for one who is afraid of heights.
I like heights and going out on one of those balconies would be cool, but could you imagine standing on a glass balcony an inch and a half thick, 1,353 feet in the air and see all the way down.
