BLOGSTREAM GOING COMPLETELY OFFLINE JANUARY 31, 2012 -- PLEASE READ FRONT PAGE FOR FINAL NOTICE

Here's my thing


 Moving van
 

So if you're one of the two or three people that actually follow this blog, and you've noticed that Blogstream is closing down at the end of the month . . .

I'm moving to Blogspot

new addy:

http://postaldog.blogspot.com

Finding the different interface to be a challenge, especially with image uploading, but I'm gaining on it.

Feel bad for whoever it is has been hotlinking my climate warming data graphs, dude's gonna lose his stuff.

heh

Update: Well this is classic. I see the blog is still up, even though the administrator said he was shutting the place down on April 30. Hmmm

 Typical blogger nonsense
 

So I'm doing my usual tour around the web, looking at celeb blogs and political blogs and I come across Michelle Malkin's eponimous blog. Here article today is on how the retirement age should be raised to 70 or above, 'cause work's so easy now and people are living longer and yada, yada, yada.

Typical horsesh*t from someone who spends her days sitting on her ass typing at a keyboard. I suppose doing that until you're 70 doesn't seem like much of a hardship.

Now personally, I like Michelle, and appreciate all she's done to help conservative voices on the web. But perhaps next time her highness is out jogging in her $300 addidas with her personal security (which she actually needs, sadly) maybe she can run by a construction site and watch an actual worker and wonder how that bricklayer is going to do that job until he's 70 years old!

'Cause I know it all looks like the Jetsons to these bloggers, sitting in mommy's basement typing away furiously, but there are millions of hard working people doing the manual labor that runs this country. And the prospect of having to do that until they are 70 or 80 years old is ridiculous!



I ran across these pics the other day and got a kick out of them. People think there is a lot of racy imagery on tv now, and they are right to some extent. But take a look at Catherine Bach dressed as Daisy Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard tv show. She's wearing the shorts/look that became so famous it's a trademark term, like Kleenex instead of tissue.

There's a screencap in there as well if you've never seen the show to see just how salacious it really was. And we're talking late 70s and early 80s, at the height of the Moral Majority and all that blather about T&A programming.

Amazing

 Rule 5 Sunday -- Random hotness
 

Today's Rule 5 submission is some random model I stumbled across while looking for something else. I don't know her name, but she's got kind of a neat, exotic look to her -- sort of a slimmed down Kim Kardashian thing.

Anyway, I found a few pics where she's not completely busting out of her clothes -- tryin' to stay away from the nsfw stuff -- so . . . here ya go:






Update:
And after all that, one nsfw slipped in there anyway. Good thing I double check this stuff. heh

 Hello there Goopy
 

Now here's someone you don't usually see parading around in a bikini -- Gwyneth Paltrow:



I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by how good she looks in a bikini. She's borderline too skinny, due in part to her odd fitness regimen. But she looks fairly hot and is sporting some cute little booty there.

Not bad

 2011 Daytona 500
 

Congrats to rookie Trevor Bayne for winning the 500 today! Not only his first win in NASCAR, but the youngest winner of the race at age 20, only one day after his birthday! Very cool.

Loved the celebration by his pit crew -- nice to see the Woods Bros. in Victory Lane again. Jack Roush touseling the kid's hair, Bayne unable to find his way to the winner's circle, getting the okay on doing a victory burnout . . . a great end to an exciting race.

Other thoughts:

Dale Jr. ran well under new crew chief Steve Letarte, perhaps an omen for the year.

Well done to DW for pointing out that Jeff Gordan may have recognized the ability of Bayne earlier in the week by offering to work with him in the qualifiers.

Tough break for Robby Gordon who is, after Tony Stewart, perhaps the best pure driver in the sport, getting collected in an accident at the race's end ruining a good finish. Robby's general lunkheadedness behind the wheel costs him a lot of victories and sponsorships.

Great camera work by FOX. New high-speed hi-def cameras, lots of angles and replays, they set the standard for presenting races on tv.

Hate the car-to-car radio stuff. Not necessary and takes away from part of the sport's uniqueness in the isolation of the competitors. They should have to work through spotters and pit crews as they always have.

With the repeated problems with spotters giving timely info to the drivers, perhaps the time has come for NASCAR to find a better way for these guys to track the race. A bunch of guys standing atop the grandstands worked well 40 years ago, but not so much now. Got to be a better way.

All in all? A great way to start the motorsports season.



Hat tip to Danica Patrick for her 14th place finish in the Nationwide race yesterday. I'm hoping if she doesn't get an upgrade in her next IndyCar contract in terms of team and crew chief, perhaps she'll jump to NASCAR instead. She's got the talent and the temperament to duke it out with the boys in stock cars.

I wish her well in both endeavours this season.
