MBH - my brain hurts 006

Christopher Hurt would not use the loss of empathic abilities as an excuse to be a jerk, like your girlfriend, BBC America.

Maryland Police Respond to Hostage Situation After Gunman Enters Building
“Police in Maryland are responding to a possible hostage situation after reports that a man with a handgun entered the Discovery Channel headquarters building in Silver Spring and fired one shot.”

Here is more on the suspect.

Eco-terrorist pursued ‘core manifesto’ of ‘green’ movement
“Experts who watched with horror as an eco-terrorist threatened the lives of workers at the Discovery Channel office complex are calling for answers from former Vice President Al Gore, whose 1990s writings in Earth in the Balance and subsequent video.”

I would rather dream about motorcycle ads than dream about sorting and folding laundry.

Machete
Machete (Danny Trejo) is a renegade former ‘Mexican Federale’. He roams the cities, towns, and streets of Texas looking for work after a shakedown from a drug lord called Torrez (Steven Segal).

The day is starting to become a little better, quite frustrating until now. I like this T.V. ad:

‘Yes.’
“Wait. Are you asking, ‘Yes’, or saying ‘Yes’?”
“Yes.”
“Peggy?”
(dial tone)

Christopher Hurt screams,

“JEB BUSH! OH MY GOD! JEB BUSH’S COMING!
I KNOW ‘M! I KNOW ‘M!”

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush visits JCCC

“Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush visited JCCC Thursday morning to discuss education reform at an invitation-only town hall meeting.

He was on stage with U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, who’s the Republican candidate for governor and was one of six candidates invited to visit JCCC by the school’s Student Senate as part of a Campaign 2010 initiative.

The JCCC Student Senate has also invited state Sen. Jeff Colyer, Brownback’s running mate; state Sen. Tom Holland, the Democratic candidate for governor; state Sen. Kelly Kultala, Holland’s running mate; state Rep. Kevin Yoder, the Republican candidate for the third Congressional district, and Stephene Moore, the Democratic candidate for the third Congressional district, to the campus.

Read more about what Bush had to say here.”

Denton might join me in shouting that. I will be volunteering on Saturdays with him, working on a local campaign for a state-level representative, but those days we should be finished well before the start of the shows at the Roving Imp Theater, and certainly the start of anime on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network.

Experience old and new Japan at JCCC on Oct. 2

“Japanese visual and performing arts, language, costumes, sports, gardening, cuisine and more come alive at the 13th annual Greater Kansas City Japan Festival from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Carlsen Center, Johnson County Community College, presented by the Heart of America Japan-America Society and Japan Festival committee and JCCC.

Last night, Christopher Hurt received a call from a phone survey from DNC Services about the third Congressional district, and I swear that the recorded voice became louder when I chose the option to indicate that I was Republican. Typical, like your girlfriend.
