McQueen's Machines

If you are looking for that perfect stocking stuffer for a fan of the King of Cool, pick-up Matt Stone’s “McQueen’s Machines: The Cars and Bikes of a Hollywood Rebel” .From his “detective” work jumping the hills of San Fran in Bullitt, to his POW work jumping a motorcycle over the German lines in “The Great Escape”, to the tycoon (Thomas Crown) racing the dune-buggy on the beach, McQueen always played the character with the cool toys and this book looks to be a catalogue of cool. Anytime a car enthusiast dies with over 100 bikes and 50 automobiles of significance in their garage, someone is bound to write a book about it, enjoy this stocking stuffer for the “gear-head” in your life.

Wednesday's WTF? Sh** The Bed Fred And His God Givin Rights!

Honestly, I almost sh_crapped my pants when I heard the Fred Thompson say the line, “Remember friends our rights come from God and not the Government”. WTF Fred? Now, I know that he wasn’t this in touch with his “church” side whilst in Congress and I am sure this commercial is only airing in the South (read: “Bible Belt”) but WTF Fred? Have you forgotten the Age of Enlightenment when our fore-fathers involved themselves with separating Church and State? The point where most new of a higher being, but believed in Science and the Metaphysical Nature of Man? Good grief, Thompson’s campaign becomes more of a joke to me each and every day!

As you know, we here at the Bushido are steeped in tradition, but alas, respectful of the rights and feelings of others. So the question on everyone’s mind as we near our state’s biggest rivalry, considering the recent fire-related deaths of South Carolina and Clemson students in Ocean City is should the Univ of South Carolina cancel the annual “Tiger Burn”, the pep-rally celebrated with burning an effigy of a Clemson Tiger? Clemson canceled their somewhat more morbid “Big Thursday” (a mock funeral of Gamecocks’ mascot, Cocky, who is set ablaze after being buried). Obviously, with Clemson canceling “Big Thursday”, U.S.C. would look like huge “Cocks” if they went on with the “Tiger Burn”, regardless the Administration and the SGA will decide today. Your thoughts?
