Move Along, There's Nothing To See Here...

The Saucy News

ok, well apparently for two people Monk regular wasn't enuff, and they yearned for Monk Lite again. Now that I am have finished with my 500 page manifesto, I have a wee bit of time to work on duo-blogs. . . maybe. We'll see.

For now, here's yer news update:

Run! Run! Hurricane-a-comin! Run you motherfuckers!

Officials in Washington deferred ruling on over-the-counter sales of the "morning-after pill" on Friday after someone tipped them off that it's not actually a pill to cure "too many Jagermeister shots at the office party' the night before.

In science news, the Mars Spirit land rover has finally taken position atop a hill overlooking a vast range of the planet and images are being sent back to researchers. And guess what? It still looks like a whole lot of nothing going on.

In entertainment, Robert Redford and Paul Newman says they may team up for one more movie. The pair, who worked on such classics as The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, are currently negotiating the script 'You Can Depend On Me', a wacky slapstick farce about two men in a nursing home who compete to see who can go the longest without changing their protective undergarments to the dismay of the staff and other residents. Phyllis Diller is rumored to play the love interest.

In sports, everyone is still making too much money and whining about it.

...Nap Me.

I need a nap.

Tune in soon when I wake up.

Til then, go to www.saucymonk.blogspot.com

it's my snooze alarm.

Percentages

Ok, i just read that an Ipsos-Reid poll says that 56% of Canadians think the early on-set of summer heat this year is caused by global warming.That's right, folks. An overwhelming 56% of common ordinary folk deeply believe that our hot summer is caused by global warming.

Then again, consider that these are the same type of well-informed, educated idiots who are tuning in to Two and a Half Men every week so you know...there's that.

My question doesn't oppose that hotter summers are due to global warming. To me, that's kind of a given. Kinda like guessing that mutating cancerous growth on my back just might be due to dangerous exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.

No, my question is why in the hell are we polling the general population about whether or not they think hot weather is due to global warming?

I really don't give a shit whether some pinhead scarfing his face with fried chicken and answering polling questions over the phone in-between screaming answers at the Wheel of Fortune guests on his TV has an opinion about environmental affairs. Besides, to be honest with you, I don't trust the knowledge of anyone who actually speaks to telemarketers beyond "ya, not interested".

Why is Ipsos-Reid wasting their time on asking people this question? Seems a bit ridiculous to me. Kind of like polling people about whether they think it's going to rain tomorrow. "Wow honey, 47% of people think it's going to be partly cloudy developing into showers later in the day...". Fascinating. Screw the commoner. Gimme an expert.

Well, I took my own little poll and do ya know what I found? 98% of those 56% who answered the Ipsos-Reid poll were 100% full of shit and the remaining 2% were clinically retarded. As for Ipsos-Reid poll about what people think of our hot summer....100% of me says it was pretty much a 100% waste of time.
