Human Trash
2007-07-11 12:20:00 In Detroit yesterday they 'buried' the 'N' word. So in that spirit, from now on I will be color blind, insted of 'Poor White Trash ' it'll be 'Human Trash', instead of 'n*****' it'll be "Human Trash', instead of 'Stupid Ass Pin Head', it'll be 'Stupid Ass Pin Head'. You might ask "How can you tell Human Trash from real Humans?" Just watch Cops for 1 week, it will become very easy. Chris Rock said it best "Everbody hates Human Trash, even Human Trash". 'cept Chris used the 'N' word.
Streched Underwear Vehicle
2007-07-10 17:56:00 While riding my bike it struck me, actually I started thinking about it after two almost did strike me. I'm talking about the 'Streched Under wear Vehicle " drivers (Ha, you thought SUV stood for Sport Ute!). Check it out, most SUV drivers are wide assed blondes with cell phones pasted to their heads, that's not quite true, some are wide assed men, small mental penis, wide ass. Come on, look out for others, take that phone off your ear!!!
UofM Business 101
2007-07-09 09:40:00 The Ann Arbor News on Sunday 7/8, reported on more UofM credit card fraud. The Uof M's response to this fraud? The Mary Sue Gang will now validate a "Random Sample' of purchases. What the hell, I thought the UofM had a quality business school, it doesn't take a Phd to understand how to prevent theft (I guess at the UofM intelligence takes LOTS more than a bunch of Phd's. The UofM approach to fighting forest fires? Fight a Random Sample. Pollution? Global Warming? Random Sample. Jeeeez, what a bunch of clowns. More About: Business , Sine
SkyHigh
2007-06-29 12:16:00 So ... are any of the AA voters who approved the new highschool still here?? Seems nobody wants to send their kdis there, not that I blame them. There are two logical uses for this building, 1) Sell it to the UofM, remember U High? or 2) Make it Community High. Years ago they had a waiting list and a lottery to get into Community, then the Community kids would go to Pioneer or Huron to participate in athletics (yeah just what they wanted the dweebs from community, "Ouch that hurts!"), just make it Community is SkyHigh!
People Pets?
2007-06-28 14:55:00 So ... a church in Ann Arbor, in 2005, took in some Hurricane Katrina refugees. The church paid for housing, a van, gave the family like $45,000, and time for them to get back on their feet. Now the church is learning what the federal government should have learned 50 years ago ... they have pets!! People are no different than cats or dogs, we have to stop thinking that people are somehow on a higher level than animals, the church tried to do good, fed this family, now the family just lays around in the sun looking for the next feeding. We need separate cages at the Humane Society for people pets, reintroduce 'puting them down', just drop them off, if they aren't adopted in 14 days, down they go! Ahhh, the liberal mindset.

Increase the Speed Limits??
2007-06-14 16:32:00 There was an article in the AA News a couple weeks ago ... seems there is a Michigan law, if 85% of people driving on a road drive at 'X' speed, that speed, 'X' should be the posted speed limit. The gist of this article was that some in Lansing (and other idiots) want to raise the speed limit on some local streets like Jackson between Stadium and Huron. Your Mother said to you : "If all your friends jump off a building, would you??" These Lansing idiots replied "Duh, yeah Mom." Data can be good, ONLY if used by intelligent people. Let me repeat that: Data can be good, ONLY if used by intelligent people. Fortuneatly, the local Police spokesman said "We'll look into it." The residents don't want motorists driving down Jackson at 40mph (then 45, then 50, hey remember the 85%, lets' jump off the bridge rule!) More About: Limits , Speed , Ease
Mlive.com
2007-06-07 18:20:00 Now, we all know that newspapers are hurting for business, so they are all going to the web. Take Mlive the online Ann Arbor News, they must not have any women on the staff, the website stinks, plus the main page has 432 html errors (most wouldn't be made by middle schoolers). Come on, you guys can be replaced with Indians (east that is)!
Please Don't Use Helmets
2007-04-05 14:37:00 A number of states are pushing to increase motorcycle helmet use, through laws, education. Why do we have to save every person from harm (and themselves)? If you are to stupid to use a helmet (or a seatbelt, or you smoke) do we really need you in the gene pool?? Do we really want you to vote?? How about a law that says if you smoke, you are not entitled to any insurance AT ALL, and no governmental handouts or money of ANY Kind! How about a law that says if you ride a motorcycle without a helmet and you crash, the ambulance driver puts a tag on your toe "Save for trash pickup." and leaves you there on the street. Remember ... people have caused global warming (or so they say), less people equal less global warming!!! More About: Please , Mets , Lease , Ease , Helmets
Tree Town or Sidewalk City??
2007-03-30 09:58:00 I received a newsletter from the AA Water Dept. One of the articles was titled 'Help Replant Ann Arbor's Tree Town '. OK, so what is it Tree Town or Side walk City ? The city still wants to rip out all the trees along Stadium and Main to put in sidewalks for the 8 football games a year, they want us to finance new sidewalks in front of our homes, now they want money for 'Tree Town'. So which is it Ann Arbor, Trees or Sidewalks ???? More About: Dewa
Circumcision is a cut above
2007-03-29 17:51:00 Well it certainly is good to see that circumcision (male that is) is coming back in favor. The World Health Org recommends it to cut (ha) HIV infection. The last few years the college educated whiners were labeling circumcision as unnecessary and mentally scarring. More About: Sion , Circumcision
Military Death
2007-03-28 19:04:00 Pat Tillman, Pat Tillman, Pat Tillman. So everybody is up in arms about Pat's death. Yes, it is too bad, but then there is always somebody who is bummed out when a friend or loved one dies.Our US culture has been trying, since Viet Nam to civilize war. War by it's nature is uncililized, people die, people kill others. Soldiers are not police officers. Either do away with war (can't stop it with out getting rid of all the ass holes in the world) or quit trying to wuss-a-fy the military. This my little young puppy, is THE lesson from 'Nam (yup, did that one). So, with Iraq, in a proper war you make the enemy evil (gooks, japs, krauts) then you kill them. Rape, pillage make them afraid to ever fight you again, or don't have the war!!! You can't civilize military death. Unless you have been under fire, don't judge death, don't look for logic. It aint there. More About: Military , Death

UofM Credit Cards
2007-03-25 17:07:00 I think the UofM should give all residents of Ann Arbor a UofM credit card (check out the AA News article, Sat 3/24, of the latest Bozo happenings at UoM). Seems like they hired crack heads up there, gave out these U credit cards that everybody is abusing. Higher education indeeed. Maybe Mary Sue is just trying to stimulate the economy.

Ann Arbor Tree Mess
2007-03-15 13:37:00 I mentioned earlier that The city of Ann Arbor caused the tree mess. Huh You've said, well... in the 1950's - 60's Ann Arbor like lots of mid west towns had the Dutch Elm disease. In the early part of the 1900's Ann Arbor planted lots of Elm trees, up and down all the streets. Bad call, with all the elms dying, that left entire streets bare of trees. In the 1960's Ann Arbor City Council said "Never again will we plant the same kind of tree up and down a street." Well they did. in the 1980's the city planted cheap ASh trees up and down many streets (Jewett being one, check out the pictures). The Cheap ASh tree has shallow roots, pushing up the sidewalks, the city came through last summer cut the trees down and left the stump. Then the city wanted the residents to replace the sidewalk, so when they come back to remove the stump (if they do) the workers can ruin the brand new sidewalk! Idiots. More About: Tree , Mess
Giddeons Bible Vs...
2007-03-15 12:16:00 I stayed in a motel the other day, I always check out the Bible the Giddeons leave there, well they had the Book of Morman in the same drawer. You have to check out the Book of Morman, what a hoot. It seems their main character was given some gold plates by God, which nobody else saw, and these plates were the Word. Then he uhhh lost them, so you have to take his word for what they said. the Book of Morman is like a cross (pun intended) between Mad magazine and a Marvel comic. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I'm supposed to respect other's beliefs, I've always felt Alfred E. wasn't as dumb as he looked. More About: Eons
When Mother Nature says
2007-03-15 12:06:00 Dont' get me wrong, I have nothing against any person who gets their jollies in a way I don't. But when Mother Nature makes you homosexual, that's natures way of saying, "don't Reproduce". check this out : http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/03/14/gay. parents.reut/index.html.

They Paved Paradise ....
2007-03-15 09:45:00 and put up a sidewalk. The citizens of Ann Arbor deserve to know the name (or names) of the nimrod in city hall, who has an erection for sidewalks. We're in the worst financial times in 50 years, and this idiot has the bright idea, "Hey if the city can't afford to fix the tree mess (that the city caused), let's divert attention by hitting the people of AA with $1000 sidewalk repairs! Better yet, let's make Ann Arbor Golf and Outing put in sidewalks where nobody should be walking. Global warming be damned! Pull out the trees and bushes, sidwalks will speed up the heat!"

UofM to Upgrade Lights
2007-03-13 18:19:00 The Ann Arbor News reports today that the UofM will spend $750,000 to upgrade the UofM stadium scoreboard lights (which haven't been upgraded since 1998!). So ... the NY stock market is jettery, dropping weekly, the Michigan economy is in the toilet,Ford and GM are on the ropes, Chrysler is for sale and Pfizer is leaving town. Sounds like a great time to blow $750,000. Ahhh higher education. More About: Light , Lights |
