South Carolina’s Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Tuesday, August 7, 2007, he will introduce legislation to replace all paper Social Security cards with plastic biometric cards that “can’t be duplicated”, so employers can be certain of the legal status of their workers. Because of course, businesses that hire illegals would be absolutely shocked to find out that Umberto the bus boy’s social security card, made with perforated business card stock from Staples, and signed in Crayola crayon, might not be authentic.

Local officials in Rockland county are seeking a ban on offensive advertising after a grand opening advertisement for an adult store infuriated a handful of whiny, uptight, sexually repressed residents. According to the Rockland Urinal news, residents said they were mortified to see two smoking-hot bikini-clad women standing — yes, standing — in children’s-sized swimming pools and splashing — yes, splashing — each other with water while holding signs advertising the store, called The Bedroom. If women think they can just be visible in public, and splash each other playfully in pools, what’s next? Will they want to vote? Be paid equal to men? Or even worse — drive cars?

Full disclosure: I do not consider myself a shareholder directly because I do not own shares of JNJ. However I do invest in a variety of mutual funds and index ETFs in which JNJ is a major component.

Let’s Paint, Exercise, & Make Blended Drinks TV

Usually I don’t share “viral videos” but this is just amazing:
The host, John Kilduff, must be pretty out there. He’s got at least 20 other shows on YouTube and they’re mostly pretty funny. He also has a website: LetsPaintTV.com. The hallucinogenic visual effects in the video realistically recreate the experience of taking 20 drops of liquid LSD. The videos are just an incredible combination of excellent music, insane callers, and the way Kilduff brings Bob Ross‘ happy and positive outlook on creativity and painting into the 21st century (plus the LSD visuals effects on-screen). I rate it AAA.
