Things That Will Melt Your Brain [Linkage]

You wonder why after the Exxon spill and now the current BP spill head haven't been rolling?  Here's your answer.. (most of you already know this) the Federal Government is basically owned by these giant companies.  Let's put it this way, according to this abysmal article in the Washington Post 75% of the people who work as lobbyists for the oil and gas industry USED to work for the Federal Government.  

Here's some more interesting news for you.  Terrell Owens (who used to carry a Sharpie in his sock in case he needed to whip it out and sign a football or a breast or what have you) can't find a job.  He's looking for $5 million and no one wants to hire him for it.  Let's break this down.  This guy is unbelievable at football and is willing to run through the grid iron and take bone crushing hits for $5 million.  Baseball players are wankers who stand around and chew shit, scratch their sack all day, and once every half hour they go for a run to catch (or not catch) a ball that barely makes it over the wall on occasion.  The amount of energy expended in a baseball game is no where near the energy expended in football, not to mention that rarely do baseball players (other than pitchers) put their body through hell (outside of steroids).  I don't respect baseball players.  They stand around and do nothing.  They make the most god damn money I could think of too.  If I owned a team, I'd make those bastards shovel my driveway, cut the grass, lift gigantic bricks like Egyptian slaves did to build the pyramids, and basically do anything and everything because as the old saying goes "if there's time for leaning, there's time for cleaning".
