Fuknut of the Day… Because It Is All About You, Honey.
Fuknuts can be women too, hell I think half of them on my growing list are of the ovarian persuasion…

The City of Denver hired this gal, Rene Marie to sing the National Anthem at their State of the City gig. She just didn’t sing the one they asked for. I am sure the cow got paid, if not she still should have done the song she was hired to perform. But as with a growing majority of people these days, it is not about doing the right thing it is about making a fucking bullshit statement at any opportunity possible. Maybe when Barry is president she can sing at his inauguration. You know, the one where his middle name will not be uttered and all. Ugh.
In addressing the media, Marie displayed the self-centeredness of people who hijack events for their own aggrandizement. “When I decided to sing my version, what was going on in my head was: ‘I want to express how I feel about living in the United States, as a black woman, as a black person,” she explained. However, the event wasn’t staged to give Marie a platform for her political views; it was an official speech by the Mayor to communicate the status of city government to its citizens.
Kim du Toit has this to say:
If I’d been in the Denver audience, I would have started singing The Star-Spangled Banner as soon as this classless bitch started her crap. I bet more than a few would have joined me, too.
Amen…

Keep in mind, here in Denver we’re lucky to find someone who knows all the words to the National Anthem. Or at least, that was my impression at the last Colorado Rapids game.
Why do you think our town was chosen to host the Democratic National Convention?

You could always flee to Texas, Alice. We still pray before HS football games and sing the national anthem.

As long as you wear lederhosen and send me a pic. You can skip the peter pan hate with the feather, but the suspenders, shorts, and knee socks are a must.

Not sure how lederhosen and tattoos will look but I will get right on this.

Texas…you mean the state that just passed a law requiring all PC Techs to be licensed private investigators? Next time you decide to hire the kid with the taped glasses down the street to fix your computer, you could get slapped with a $4K fine. Uh, no thanks.

Ok I found this reading about it… It seems less absurd worded this way.

Eh, it seems like it’s actually somewhere in the middle. If you pay the kid down the street to poke around and find evidence of an affair, for instance, or to install a proxy server so you can know if your kids are posting inappropriate stuff on myspace, that could be construed as “engages in the business of obtaining or furnishing…information related to…the identity, habits, business, occupation, knowledge, efficiency, loyalty, movement, blah blah blah of a person”.
Part of the document says that they’re requiring licensing only for work that would have already required a license, but if that was the case, why did they pass new statutes for it?

We’ve been drilling into our son’s head the idea that even when he does get internet access (he’s five now, we’ll start letting him view a few sites soon), we will ALWAYS be smarter at finding his tracks than he will be at covering his tracks. So don’t even try to circumvent the security. Fortunately, my husband’s got a pretty good background in network security, and if we need it, we’ve got a couple of friends who work full-time in the field. (And neither of them have PI licenses, LOL!)

yep here too. me, hubby, everyone we know practically is in either network or software so the kids have no hope of being quicker or smarter.
my kids are on the net quite a bit but we limit to Disney, nickjr, and one or two other sites.
