Shop and Save My Job!
Here's a bailout plan you can believe in! I'm not talking government handout or not even asking taxpayers for money. This bailout plan is for myself. I just need a little nudge along the lines of something you may already be doing or plan to do...
Shopping!
Why do I need a personal bailout? I may be out of a job unless my company's profits start looking better. And the books needs to look better in the next 3 weeks or I'm adios. Want to help in a small, but big way? Just shop at MyConsumerGuide.com.
Go to MyConsumerGuide.com and buy something. Anything! The commisssion generated through the sales goes to the company I work for...and thus, I still get paid and have a job!
If you are an online shopper, MyConsumerGuide.com is a great place to quickly search what you are looking for. You'll read a quick review (if you choose) of the store or product and be browsing for what you want in seconds!
Look for online specials, coupons, free shipping codes and more by simply clicking here: MyConsumerGuide.com. That's where I would start if I were doing my shopping now.
If you are not an online shopper, why not start now! No lines, great deals, quick access to products you want, save gas, avoid shoppers in bad mooods, and so on! MyConsumerGuide.com leaves you time for other more important things...like being with family and enjoying the holidays.
Help me stay healthy...financially speaking!
Just a couple clicks...and you may have helped save my job! Thanks for your consideration.

Elton John Dies in Rocketship...and Other Rockers
Top Ten Rock 'n' Roll Spam Headlines
I'll be honest...this is my junk blog...although in all "modesty" there's some nuggets in here on occasion. Speaking of which, I recently went searching for nuggets in the least likely of places: spam email subject headlines.
This spam headline in my email inbox at work not too long ago, Elton John Dies in Rocketship, had me laughing...and thinking: How much do those spam headline writers get paid?
Now, I know some of you will say "Ya, I get those, too! You know those erectile dysfunction spams and the like." Well, sure we all get those, but it is this rock 'n' roll play on stars, their song titles and lyrics that got me going.
So, around work we came up with some really good ones, like "John Mellencamp Crushed By Pink House," "Jon Bon Jovi Found Shot Through the Heart," "Bob Dylan Flattened By Rolling Stone," and "Otis Redding Found Floating Under Dock By the Bay."
My next step was to take this "assignment" to my buddies at BlogCatalog. We had lots of fun with it over there. Out of the more than 100 submissions, I decided to chose my picks for Top Ten. These are in no particular order and you'll see the winning BC member's blog name, linked up.

Bloggers Unite: Algeria and Christian Persecution
You still have a chance to visit the great work of bloggers in an effort called Bloggers Unite for Human Rights.
Here is my contribution:
Algeria: Carry a Bible, Go to Jail
While many of the cultural battles centered on religion in the U.S. involve legal positioning on church and state issues, very real physical persecution of faith exists in many other parts of the world.
A few websites monitor and report on these atrocities, many of which go with little mention or unreported in the mainstream media. Two sites whose mission includes reporting on religious persecution are Compass Direct News and Persecution Blog
Here’s a recent example of persecution. This from Compass Direct News:
ALGIERS, Algeria, May 9 – An Algerian Christian detained five days for carrying a Bible and personal Bible study books was handed a 300-euro (US$460) fine and a one-year suspended prison sentence last week, an Algerian church leader said.

America Gone Wild
As Ashley Dupre continues to wait for the dust to settle from her paid sexual liason with ex-NY Governor Eliot Spitzer via the Emperor's Club, there's only one question: How much will America pay her? 
UPDATE: Video of Ashley's 2003 "Girls Gone Wild" encounter is now overflowing the pockets of the fresh out of prison, GGW founder Joe Francis. Ashley graces the porn site version of the video company on its homepage and subscription page...cost: $29.86 for one month.
By ALEXANDER
Some guess that Ashley Dupre made $100,000 a month selling her body to high-paying clientele, including the now-resigned governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer. Reports include that her going rate was $1,000-per-hour.
However, that's chump change compared to what's being offered her now and probably in the near future as the result of her part in bringing down Spitzer and the pimping Emperor's Club.
Porn publishers at Penthouse magazine say they would "love to have her in the magazine" and would consider offering her a cover shot. Before Dupre's MySpace page was deleted Thursday, it had received 4,612,397 views and her song "What We Want" touted 711,334 plays, according to Reuters. Fox News reports that a million people have paid as much as $.98 apiece to download her song.
My question to America: Is the marketing and consumption of all-things Dupre "what we want?"
Leading media research analyst Neilsen//NetRatings, which tracks Internet traffic and trends reported a few years ago that more than 38 million people visited adult websites that year. America's obsession with sex is evidenced everywhere, including the proliferation of sexual performance enhancing drugs.
Will America be hooked on Dupre...and will she oblige?

Croskey Needs to Get Schooled
What's most shocking about the California state appellate court ruling that says parents that homeschool their children must have teaching credentials is the wording that goes with the decision.
By ALEXANDER
Justice H. Walter Croskey wrote in a Feb. 28 opinion signed by the two other members of the district court:
"Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children."
What the heck? It's amazing how liberals are so opposed to big-brotherism, yet often have rulings and ideas that would lead to nothing but such.
Here's the lead in the L.A. Times:
Parents who lack teaching credentials cannot educate their children at home, according to a state appellate court ruling that is sending waves of fear through California's home schooling families.
Advocates for the families vowed to appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court. Enforcement until then appears unlikely, but if the ruling stands, home-schooling supporters say California will have the most regressive law in the nation.
Regressive, by the way, can mean "backward reasoning"...and this legislation certainly is. Talk about the manipulation of our most precious gift, children. Apparently, a group of California legislators feel they can do a better job of decision making in regards to what's best for our kids.
More from the Times:
"This decision is a direct hit against every home schooler in California," said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, which represents the Sunland Christian School, which specializes in religious home schooling. "If the state Supreme Court does not reverse this . . . there will be nothing to prevent home-school witch hunts from being implemented in every corner of the state of California."

Brodsky Defends Peterson, Encourages 'Enjoyment' for Married Client
Suggested "Win a Date with Drew" radio contest by Brodsky takes the lawyer blunder top honor
"If she's entitled to be out there with another man, he's entitled to have some enjoyment in his life, too." - Attorney Joel Brodsky
This Week’s Top Scrooge - January 25, 2008
By ALEXANDER
Worst defense attorney move ever just may well be the one made by the lawyer for alleged serial wife killer, Drew Peterson. Attorney Joel Brodsky and Peterson called WJMK-FM morning show host Steve Dahl and proposed the "Win a Date with Drew" game earlier this week.
Peterson, as you may recall, is suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife and has caused another look at the bathtub "accidental death" drowning death of his third wife.
Nevermind that Peterson shows zero concern for the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, whose case police call a possible homicide. Forget that Peterson has toyed with the media spotlight ever since the 23-year-old mother of his two children has been missing, and simply saying she ran off with another man. What kind of lawyer would defend this creep?
I'll tell you what kind. The kind that turns out to be just as creepy as his client.
This from NewsSunOnline.com:
Hours after radio host Steve Dahl agreed to the suggestion by Joel Brodsky, the attorney for former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, WJMK-FM officials said the game would not take place.
"Steve never intended on doing this promotion or any promotion that would put his listeners in harm's way," station vice president/general manager Peter Bowen said in a prepared statement. "The dating game idea was conceived by Peterson and Brodsky, not by Steve Dahl or anyone else at the radio station."
OK. So radio host Steve Dahl is a little creepy, too. But This Week's Top Scrooge goes to Joel Brodsky.
It's his (alleged) murder and he'll play as he want to
Brodsky defended his client's planned participation in the radio show, saying that Peterson didn't do anything wrong and that he believes his wife just ran off with someone else.
"If she's entitled to be out there with another man, he's entitled to have some enjoyment in his life, too," Brodsky said.
Celebrity and creep defender chimes in
"It is still the mother of your children, and she's missing," defense attorney Mark Geragos said. "Besides being a bad idea for the criminal case, it's in incredibly poor taste."
Last add
Daniel Bibb, a private attorney who handled high-profile cases when he was a prosecutor in New York, also couldn't believe that Peterson was willing to participate in the competition.
"If I'm a prosecutor I'm salivating now. If I'm his attorney, I'm ready to commit suicide. I'm ready to quit," Bibb said.
Quit indeed...something Brodsky probably has no gumption to do...he's too creepy.

Britney Watch Gets Wierd...er
Britney Spears paparazzi hit alltime low with ambulance chasing antics
This Week’s Top Scrooge
By ALEXANDER
First, there was the Britney Death Poll contest introduced by a radio jock. Then, months of inane Britney videos and photos of her in cars, and getting in and out of cars. Now, photographers competing for the best ambulance shots featured photags literally chasing her ambulance Thursday night, sticking cameras in the emergency vehicle window.
As of Friday morning, Spears was still at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on a "5150 hold," meaning there's evidence she's a danger to herself or others, TMZ said. This news after the Los Angeles Police Department was called to Spears' home to investigate a custody dispute around 8 p.m. PST.
Iowa Caucus news ended last night with the Breaking Britney News and video of the shark attack-like scene of photographers. Close to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a photographer can be seen trying to hang on to the back of the ambulance, camera in one hand, shooting inside through the window as the vehicle approaches.
One on-scene reporter from a major cable news channel said she felt sick watching the meltdown of Britney unfolding before the parasitic media. Understandably so.
This Week's Top Scrooge goes to news agencies driven by Britney exploitation. It got ugly and I hope it doesn't get worse.
