Question: "No matter how many times I try to do it, I can't kill myself. What am I doing wrong?"
Answer: Read a past interview with "illusionist" David Blaine. He's got the same problem.
Ahh yesssss! Just when you thought David Blaine had done it all and was through cheating death, he comes up with another neat trick just to prove he still doesn't have any common sense. He's been shot at, frozen in ice, placed in a pool of angry sharks while holding his breath for three days, you name it. When we get to see all these illusions and how they always end, I'm at the point where I don't know if I should cheer for the guy or feel sorry for him. Are all these attempts simply "magic", or are they part of a long streak of "bad luck" for him personally? If anyone should know tha
t there's more than one way to skin a cat, it ought to be Blaine. He proved all his skeptics wrong by his hanging upside down like a bat for a few days and then...surviving! Even the announcer on his Live ABC television special suggested Blaine is "Superhuman" and quite possibly "not of this earth". The announcer may be quite right afterall, any normal human being would have realized the movie "The Dark Knight" getting released on DVD at the end of October would have been the ultimate "tie-in" to his stunt. Maybe trying out Houdini's fatal "stomach punch" is somewhere in his future AFTER he can explain why he was unable to cut short President Bush's speech on the economy that delayed his show by nearly 20 minutes. Now, that would be magic!

What's he gonna do to fix it? I dunno. It's like letting your 98 year old grandfather balance your checkbook. Chances are, things will get more screwed up than when you started. While McCain takes a brief ti
me out to join Letterman and Leno on the couch, Obama intends to keep things moving forward. As a matter of fact, McCain may no longer be invited as Letterman's guest because Dave isn't buying into McCain's "genuine concern" for the economy and is writing it off as a cheap publicity stunt. On the other hand, Obama isn't willing to sit down with Bush or McCain to discuss things because he feels that considering he's not quite the President yet, why get bogged down with nonsense like this? As things get worse all around the world and even leaving Mr. Moneybags with empty pockets, who is the right guy for this job? Neither. That's why I suggest we all "write-in" David Blaine. Afterall, it's worth a shot and what else is there to lose?

The new brew is called "Spark" and Miller was right behind with their own version as an entry into alcohol/energy drinks. Just from the product description, you immediately see something terribly wrong. It's an enrgey dring which contains alcohol. So, which is it? Gatorade is an energy drink and Bud Light is alcohol. One makes you move quicker while the other slows you down. If you mix half of each one in a tall glass, wouldn't the end result be, besides nasty tasting, a beverage with no purpose? I ma
y not be smarter than a 5th grader when it comes to mathmatics however, I do know that "energy" and "alcohol" cancel each other out when put together. That combination makes this beverage pointless AND yucky. Beer makers are calling this latest entry into the beverage market a trend. I agree. It's a trend in stupidity. This is one situation where I totally agree with the young kids out there arguing to lower the legal drinking age. Lower the darn thing to 18 otherwise there's gonna be lot's of these aluminum cans piling up in landfills and doing more damage to an already battered and bruised environment!
