Senator John McCain went on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and announced his choice for Vice President:
He has wisely chosen, Dwight Schrute from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Dwight answered Senator McCain in a letter read on the tonight show with Jay Leno:
My fellow American and select Canadians,
My name is Dwight K. Schrute. Recently it was brought to my attention that a Presidential candidate has selected me as his vice President or as I prefer to call it, “Assistant President of the United States.”
I was not surpised by this information, because I am the only suitable choice. As for Mr. Jonathan McCain, I will accept your offer old man, but before I do, certian terms must be agreed upon.
1) I may pilot Air Force One whenever I want. And while doing so I only to be addressed as “ice Man.”
2) Effective immediately: Jack Bauer is promoted to Secretary of Defense.
3) I demand full government financing of research programs into Beet as an alternative energy source. Beet juice is cheaper then gasoline and better tasting.
4) My bunker must contain a foosball table and be zombie proof.
5) Secret Service members are to be armed with nun-chucks, throwing stars and flame throwers.
6) I would like a flame thrower.
7) I would like an Iron Man outfit.
8 ) My current employer, Michal Scott has asked to be ambassador to Hawaii, or governor of Florida, or King of Tahattii, whatever.
All of the above items are negotiable (except the flame thrower - basically, if you get me a flame thrower, I’m on board). In conclusion, I will display completely loyalty to my president and America, at three am when the phone rings in the White House, I won’t even hear it, I’m a very sound sleeper.
The Vatican’s chief astronomer says that believing in the existence of extra terrestrials does not contradict faith in God.Father Jose Gabriel Funes, says that the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, Funes says that such a notion “doesn’t contradict our faith” because aliens would still be God’s creatures.
The interview was headlined: “The extraterrestrial is my brother.” Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like “putting limits” on God’s creative freedom.
In his speech in Indianapolis, Senator Obama acts hardcore like he told Detroit off. When you look at the actual video, he did nothing off the sort. Granted, he didn’t get a roaring applause, but it wasn’t quiet! It was substantial enough not to sync with what he said in Indiana (not to mention the standing ovation at the end!)
“Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players are always changing, the team can move to another city, you’re actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it. You know what I mean, you are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt, they hate him now. Boo! Different shirt! Boo!” - Jerry Seinfeld, The Label Maker
This little routine by Jerry Seinfeld has always stood out in my mind. It’s true because for my whole life I’ve been a fan of the Detroit Tigers. It doesn’t matter who wears the Old English D, if the player is a Tiger I root for them. Kenny Rogers was not a popular player when he was on the Texas Rangers. Most thought negatively when his name was mentioned, however when he game to the Tigers, he instantly became a hero to the city, (especially after his magical post season in 2006).
It also brings up the question, is it okay to boo your players or team? If your loyalty belongs to the team and not the player, is it okay to boo an individual athlete when they screw up? I think so, because they are disgracing the uniform of your team. Jason Grilli comes to mind; a horrible player, I knew for sure he would give up a lead whenever the brought him in to pitch, so when the fans booed him, he got what he deserved. I personally never boo (except extreme cases), because I always have an optimistic view the team can pull out of whatever funk they are in.
My Tigers Resume
I got a nasty comment sometime back about how I was fake johnny-come-lately Detroit Tigers fan. He asked me to post where I was in 2003 (the year we lost 119 games). He also wanted to know my Tigers Resume, whatever that means. I’ve never thought about putting a “tigers resume” together, but I’ll bite on his stupid comment and give you my resume.
I have been a Tigers fan since as long I could remember. Baseball has always been the sport of my heart and the Tigers have always been very personal to me. I’ve been a season ticket holder many times over, including 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2003. I was one of the first fans ever to enter the gates of Comerica Park, we got there on opening day ay 7am and were the first in line!

On Friday, the Mega Millions jackpot will be over $100,000.00. Now because I can see the future, it would not be appropriate for me to play the winning numbers. But here they are, which you may use:
4-28-08 - I’ve spent much time online looking for decent file storage. Sites like rapidshare and megaupload are dreadful. There are a few nice sites out there that offer small amounts of storage free and lots for a monthly fee, like box.net
Well, a new website has just launched called filedropper.com. It is offering up 250 GB of free storage for everyone who signs up before May 15, 2008. After that, they will charge a monthly fee for this pro service.
It has drawn a lot of suspicion online, as it seems to good to be true. I’ve signed up and tried it and it works wonderfully. I strongly suggest signing up and giving it a whirl.
One bit of advice however is don’t use a password you’ve used before. You can’t be too careful, and this page still needs to prove itself.
UPDATE 05/01/08 - For some reason the special offer page is gone… keep checking back…
UPDATE 05/06/08 - It looks like they are reneging on their special offer. My account still works and shows its “premium” status. However, when you go to the special offer page it redirects you to their regular sign up site. Their plans seem pretty good, but I would hold off a little longer before I would suggest you give them any money. They still seem very mysterious…
101.1 FM WRIF - March 2006 - Drew and Mike talk about Christine Beatty getting a pulled over for speeding. She asked the police officers:
“Do you know who the f*ck I am?”
The Mayor was outragged! How dare the police pull over his chief of staff. He went on th radio and called the traffic stop “The biggest piece of crap.” Drew and Mike even talk about how odd it was that the Mayor got so worked up over it and even hinted that they two might be sleeping around. The Mayor lost the case and the police were awarded a $25,000.00 settlement.
Detroit Tiger’s very own, Comerica Park has ranked 4th overall on awesome major league baseball ball parks! That’s pretty nice considering there 30 MLB parks! Get the full story here. Notice how we got a team quality of #1!
101.1 FM WRIF - From June 7, 2006 - 40 Minutes from Drew and Mike. The guys make a surprise call to Mark Cuban, they watch COPS. They also interview Lorenzo Lamas and play funny clips of Brandon Davis making fun of Lindsay Lohan and then some lady making fun of Brandon Davis for making fun of Lohan. Good times.
A CW spokesmen was on CNN defending the television show “Gossip Girls” controversial publicity campaign “OMFG.” His argument was, people could think it meant “Oh my freaken goodness.”
So Adam Carolla’s question… is this guy stupid, or a liar?
Here are the best plays from game 3 of the Detroit, Colorado series. Osgood looked awesome! The Wings go up 3-0 and look to sweep the Aves out of the playoffs!
