WTF, Aretha Franklin. You’re now like every other diva queen/rapper out there today. All you care about is banging lots of women and snorting coke with famous celebrities.
Atleast most rappers get semi-attractive, if not shallow and whorish, women. Did you have to settle for our former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice?
If I on a drunken whim had bought tickets for this show in Philly, I’d punch Aretha right in her smug face. She’s wasting my time with this political shit. Because I’m sure this is a political ‘fuck-you’ to Barack Obama, since Aretha was the only singer at Barack’s presidential inaugural address.
And don’t go and tell me that Condi is apolitical. She has no business with Aretha. This is America. Unless you were a former president and there is some international disaster (AIDS, tsunami, etc) you are NOT allowed to cross political lines for charity. EVER.
What happened to you Aretha? You used to be so cool (like 3 decades ago). And then I loved you for being ‘oldies’. You were an old black woman, and I was a young white hipster male. The irony was oozing with oodles. But now I’m never eating another Snickers in my life.
On a totally different note, if Bill Clinton played a sax solo with Squirrel Nut Zippers, I’d be the first one in line.
It’s Not Too Late to Observe “National Doorknob Safety Awareness Month”
I work in an office, where part of my duties include maintaining office cleanliness. And no, in case you’re wondering, I’m not the janitor. Or, not just the janitor. I also make photocopies for salaried staffers.
But ins-and-outs of my particular work habits aside, I feel like there’s an event in July that is oft-overlooked by the majority of Americans. I am speaking, of course, of National Doorknob Safety Awarenss Month, or NDSAM. Not many people take time to observe NDSAM, just like not many people take time to properly evaluate the safety of their doorknobs.
See how this knob isn't affixed to a properly closed door? Safety Hazard.
Now, July is nearly over, and if you’re like most Americans, you’ve let National Doorknob Safety Awareness Month slip you by. But it’s not too late to make doorknob safety a major part of your monthly awareness, nationally. Here’s just a few handy things you can do to raise doorknob safety and/or doorknob safety awareness:
I’m sure you can think of plenty of other ways to improve doorknob safety. Be sure to share them here or with a co-worker, family member or lover.
And remember, in only a few short days it will be August–National Paperclip Safety Awareness Month!
The number one cause of workplace fastening incidents!
