It's Thursday

Weird. My days are all askew since I had Sunday and Monday off for the holiday. It's been a rough week. I've been dealing with managing the store while not being the store manager for quite some time. Looks like they'll be bringing in some outside hire, fine by me, just in the interim I'm doing the work. On top of that I'm lacking sleep.

I can't seem to settle down and relax. The bright side to this is -- I'm almost done with the first season of Game of Thrones. Lil Sis Frank was kind enough to lend me her dvds. I must say it's a compelling and well done show. Also too, nerds and swords.

No Dunkin today, but I had to share one link: The Questions People Get Asked About Their Race
Its hilarity only slightly eclipsed by its sadness. Good job NPR.

Get Your Dunkin Wednesday

Thoughts and prayers go out to those in Oklahoma. If you can donate to the American Red Cross directly and skip all the gimicks. Whenever a natural disaster hits I think of living by the ocean...in California...and when we get an earthquake tremor my heart stops a bit. We're but small specs on this great big planet.

Here are your highlights:

Meet Virginia: E.W. Jackson, their very own Allen West -- completely nuts

Helicopters with money

The joke that is the Tea Party

About that deficit b.s.

Immigration will it die in the House?

Obama at Morehouse has opened up a lot of feelings. It's an interesting debate, one filled with a complex history.

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

We're basically doing CrossFit at work right now. Moving tons of boxes of wine and shifting a ton of items around. I'm sore from head to toe. Back at it in a couple of hours...oh joy.

Here are your highlights:

Oklahoma the devastation and searching for survivors 

OK Senator Tom Coburn is just as a big of a jerk to his own constituents 

Apple is bad

I've been saying this for awhile now on the Tweet machines, all these faux-scandals will rally people around Obama

Virginia GOP has lost its damn mind. I can't tell you how embarrassing it is to say I'm from Virginia. Oh wait, I'm not. I'm from Northern Virginia -- I'm from D.C. Phew.

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

Wow, what a clusterf*ck yesterday. I thought all news dumps were supposed to happen on Friday and get swept under the rug. Is it me or is all of it rather small? I'm don't care about the IRS "scandal", to me it makes sense after the Freedomworks debacle. It looks like the AP thing is more about AP and I already forgot what else I'm supposed to be angry about...

Here are your highlights:

Dick Cheney still evil still stupid

They've tried for over four years to pin Obama as corrupt and black

Six Retailers Sign to Upgrade Factories

GOP outreach

Reality Check on scandalmania

Austerity Kills Literally

Get Your Dunkin Friday

And I'm back. It's a been a long week. Luckily, yesterday I had the day off and celebrated my 32nd birthday with my amazing wife. We slept in, she made pancakes, we went to LACMA (saw an awesome Kubrick exhibit) and then had a decadent meal at Animal. Yes the name of the restaurant is Animal and it was probably the best meal I've had in LA. All in all it was just what the doctor ordered.

Here are your highlights:

Carbon Dioxide levels at dangerous high

West Texas explosion gets creepy

The goodness of a Joe Biden gaffe

Friday boxing mailbag

Megan Fox as April O'Neil in TMNT makes me beyond angry

Good news on jobs

It's my birthday week and it's a busy one. Work has me hopping around to different places for training. I'm in the midst of figuring out what to do about my representation for acting and I supposed to be filming Tuesday and Wednesday on a new project. I kind of like being busy so I forget how old I will be...

Here are your highlights:

NRA Vendor has a "Obama" target

New York to sue Bank of America and Wells Fargo over mortgage packages

Why Israel Bombed Syria

Someone watched "In the Line of Fire" and thought cool we should market that! *Headdesk
