I am tired of Republicans, Democrats and pretty much every other political party. I think I'm going to start my own party. I will call it the "Common Sense Party". Instead of coming up with ideas based on my "conservative" or "liberal" views, I will do what makes sense and will be best for the country. My first issues to tackle: 1. Get us off our dependency on foreign oil. It't ridiculous to me that a country as innovative and great as the U.S. has to depend on other countries to provide us with fuel and energy. We need to set a challenge to all Americans. By 2020 we will be supplying 50 percent of all our own oil and natural gas. Do whatever it takes. Give grants, award million dollar prizes, just make it happen. Biofuels are the key to economic growth in the U.S. Algae is the future! 2. Triple the taxes on all imports. Yes, you heard me. That's what other countries do to American products entering their country. And that...

I think the award for worst marketing for Car Insurance has to go to Esurance. What is there about a pink haired cartoon chick that is suppose to make me buy car insurance from you. It makes me think your company is a joke. Even if I could save $50 dollars a month switching to Esurance, I wouldn't. Just based on the fact that I don't trust the pink haired cartoon. Come on Insurance companies. A cave man? A gekco? Mayhem? Okay the mayhem commercials aren't bad. And the cave man commercial were pretty funny (see video below). But I think I will stay with my good old State Farm insurance, who doesn't need a gimmick to give you good prices and quality insurance. I love the song in this commercial. I could just sit and listen to it over and over and be peaceful.

Just when you thought life couldn't get any better, MTV announces that after 13 years, Beavis and Butt-head will be back on the air. This time around they will not only be watching music videos, but television shows and movies as well. So get ready for some more memorable quotes, like "Do you have T.P. for my bunghole? I would hate for my holio to get polio." God Help Us.

Every time I watch any of the Lord of the Rings movies it really makes me want to visit New Zealand where they filmed the movies. Lots of breath-taking views full of mountains, rivers and green landscape. Maybe I could find take my own road to Mordor, except I wouldn't want that Sam following me. Sam and Frodo's relationship was a little too close for my liking. By the way..... Filming is set to start on the two new Hobbit movies directed by Peter Jackson. Color me excited!

The new Steakhouse Burger from Burger King looks a little gross to me. The chunks of jalapeño and cheddar reminds me of throw up for some reason. I imagine if, and when you do get sick from eating this, the aftermath would look about the same.... Brown and chunky. My recommendation would be skip the "King" and go with something that looks a little better and is healthier for you. Maybe some Jimmy John's!
