In this epic battle of red vs. blue, these two wisdom-laden women assault eachother with great enthusiasm.

What has happened to television? Its sad to see what we’ve lost due to the dollar bill taking over your television.

The best part of this one is the co-host, who goes from laughing at his cohort’s BJ lips to backing him up without thinking twice. I wish I had a co-host.

Prepare for a rant.

Look, without police and law enforcement society would be a whole lot more fucked up than it is - which is so scary I’d rather not even imagine it. I have a lot of respect for the men and women who risk their lives to keep the rest of us safe. Now, there are a few bad apples in any group; but in law enforcement those bad apples have state authority and are exponentially worse.

This morning I was driving across the state - cruising at about 80 MPH which is pretty routine on Michigan’s State Highways which are limited at 70 MPH. I come up behind one of these state cops in a tahoe - he’s going slightly slower than I am so I slow down and roll behind him for a while. Suddenly he begins talking on his cell phone and getting erratic with his speed - up to 85 then back down to as low as 65. Slowing down and speeding up because he’s obviously not paying attention. “Whatever” I think to myself as like most drivers nowadays I’ve come to terms that a solid margin of drivers are simply not paying attention. I go to pass on the right because this guy’s going real slow and obviously not moving over.

Here’s where things turn a bit sour, this cop saw what was going on - and decided to pick up his pace, I figure “good, now he’s ready to pay attention and move along as usual.” Instead he carries on pacing along side of me speeding up and slowing down to pinch me off and block my route past. He was now paying close attention to his driving and even taking frequent glances over his right should to check my position. I’d slow down, he’d speed up - so then I’d speed up, and he’d speed up as well and pinch me off again.

In his defense, I was most definitely going over the speed limit. But there comes a point where you need to make a decision within your position of authority to either enforce the law or not. This guy was completely arrogant and no doubt exercising poor decision making by putting into place what was essentially a rolling roadblock. If you’ve ever driven in Michigan you know cruising speed is about 10-15 MPH above the stated highway speed.

Ahhh, I feel better; now carry on.

Nike’s got a reputation for some amazing commercials. Lately they seems to have a knack for encouraging the internet to circulate them. This one’s no different and if you watch I’m sure you’ll see why.
