The Spendulus Bill

themilkcrate — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:33:31 +0000

Well it seems that the huge stimulus bill is going to ultimately be signed into law. It’s unfortunate that the only “compromise” that could be reached is a huge assortment of random projects that may or may not help to jump start the economy. It mostly seems like a shotgun strategy which doesn’t make it seem all that well thought out.

Here’s a link that has some of the actual spending programs listed out.

Time to Upgrade Your Car’s AC?

Now that I’m living in Arizona, having a good air conditioner is more of a necessity than just something nice to have. And with the summer coming up, it may be time for you to look into fixing up or repairing you old AC. You may need to replace the entire system or just a few parts, but the most important thing is make sure that it’s working properly and won’t cause you any problems. So visit discountacparts.com where you can find a Chevrolet AC Compressor as well as many others. Don’t let another summer catch you without a great air conditioner.

Well Informed Obama Voters…?

themilkcrate — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 20:07:20 +0000

This is an interesting video that I came across that is quite telling about the current state of our political system and those who participate in it. This isn’t to say that there aren’t uninformed voters on both sides, but it begs the question of what kind of “change” these people are after when they don’t know the current state of things.

Daughtry Does It Again

themilkcrate — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:49:18 +0000

So as I was on my way to work this morning, I was pondering a deep question that has been troubling me recently. And this is it:

Can we see beyond the scars, and make it to the dawn? (pay no attention to the )

Fortunately, the latest song from this blogs favorite artist came on the radio and set my mind righ at ease. Daughtry’s latest song (if it can actually be dubbed this) is called What About Now?, and once again he displays his lyrical prowess with lines like the above question as well as this following bit of genius:

What if our love had never went away?

Now, if you’re musical tastes are such that you not only enjoy listening to a chorus over and over, but also one peppered with the word “baby”, then this song is definitely going to thrill you; in fact, I can confidently say that you were also a fan of “The Reason” by Hoobastank.

I don’t understand how such music continues to be proliferated among us, but there must be some people that just continue to eat it up. And for those of you that just can’t wait to listen to the new song, here’s the perfect link through which you can exit this blog…

I like to eat poop sandwiches.

Oregon Woman Plans to Parade Topless

themilkcrate — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:16:34 +0000

The idiocy of some people never ceases to amaze me. Apparently some woman in Oregon has decided that she wants to parade during the fourth of July topless (link to story). It’s ridiculous that the law would actually allow something like this (I’m looking at Ashland, OR), but even more so that someone would make it their personal quest to take advantage of it during what should be a nice family-friendly event.

I understand that some will use the whole “freedom of speech and expression” thing, but that’s no excuse for this blatant stupidity. When did we throw common sense and good taste out the window?

Now, the last thing I have to say about this is that she’s ugly, which no one wants to see in the first place. There is no doubt in my mind about this. And if this statement seems presumptuous, I’m just freely expressing my thoughts.

An Unexpected Appearance…

themilkcrate — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:02:30 +0000

I’ve been looking for this video for a while now, and I finally found it even though it has a huge watermark across it. It’s the commercial for Verizon Wireless’s Red Hot Deal Days starring none other than the happy ninja himself. Enjoy…

Does NKOTB Mean Anything to You?

themilkcrate — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:33:17 +0000

If you haven’t yet heard about the reunion tour of New Kids on the Block,… consider yourself extremely lucky. The members of this band (I shouldn’t even call them a band) must really be tired of ramen noodles and need to do something to earn some money. The mind-boggling thing about it is that they actually will make money doing this. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to pay to see this concert, or try to win them from a radio station for that matter, but just in case you’re even slightly entertaining the thought, here’s a quick fix that should calm your craving:

Now, if you actually made it all the way through this video, you either quarterback the NY Giants or are struggling to “find yourself”. If the video has managed to discourage at least one person from going to this concert then this post has been worth it.

Tropic Thunder

themilkcrate — Mon, 26 May 2008 15:43:59 +0000

A friend at work told me about this new movie that’s coming out called Tropic Thunder, starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. Now, the movie would be worth seeing based solely on the fact that Jack Black and Ben Stiller (in this order) are in it. However, after seeing the movie Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr., I think this movie will just be that much better.

In this movie, Ben Stiller is an action star, Jack Black is a comedic actor and Downey Jr. is the more serious drama type actor. I’ll let you get the premise of the movie from the following trailer, but I’m most looking forward to seeing Downey Jr. play a black man. Take a look:

Now, I don’t really see any downside to this movie which makes me a little leary since I would hate for this to be a movie where all the actually funny parts are in the trailer. I’m going to assume though, that this will not be the case and will therefore give it the following rating: 9/10

UPDATE: There’s one more thing I wanted to add about this movie. Brandon T. Jackson is also in this movie, probably best known for his performance in Cuttin Da Mustard, but it’s his character’s name in Tropic Thunder that I thought was important to share. It’s Alpa Chino.
