Barbara Bush doesn’t care about black people too… So thats where George gets it from. “And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this–this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.”
6 months or so ago a contest was ran for WordPress themes, I entered my old theme in what was really a rushed job and I was never really happy with it, but I was also too busy or unwilling to fix a few bugs and styling errors in it, I spent about an hour last night revisiting it and fixing them and now it’s ready to be released…
It’s nothing special, it’s not perfect either as I used to hack numerous WP core files to make it work like I wanted to and as a theme for everyone I simply can’t do that, so I had to find a few workarounds, especially as WordPress likes to use lists to display sidebar items, not even ordered or unordered lists, it just spews out <li> tags which breaks validation… So it’s now valid (at last) and the CSS validates too, which is always a bonus.
I’m hoping to make a few new themes over the next few weeks, if only to keep me busy.
You can view it here, though this may be changing in a few days as I work on a few other new themes…
This could also be known as “the things you find out when people get blind drunk at a ballpark”
Having sold our own tickets and another pair we aquired for todays game we found out we still had another pair of tickets, so we headed down arriving just a little bit late, and while we usually sit in line with 1st base we were now seated beside the left foul pole and surrounded by increasingly intoxicated employees from an unnamed company who taught us a new thing about Turner Field.
It has a detox room, a detox room you have to sign release papers to “escape” from…
Now, I’m all for having a few drinks at the ballpark, but when your so drunk you pass out on a bathroom floor after 2½ innings, well, thats just obscene. So we were sitting surrounded by her friends who weren’t shy in relating every last detail to everyone around them, so we were getting constant updates about how she was wheeled out the bathroom in a wheelchair, almost arrested by police, taken to detox and all that jazz. Infact it was getting so bad that we had to leave after the 7th inning of a pretty close game just because one of them deciced to sit next to us (in a seat that wasn’t for them) and proceeded to lean forward on the railing in front, pretty much blocking our view (it was a big lady), plus the smell of booze from them was pretty overpowering.
Usually the people seated around us are nice, pleasant and courteous, these people were just plain rude… I’m not complaining per se, just saying that if you want to drink that much and be obnoxious during a game, there is a place for it located in right field…
… To order a t-shirt like this???
Cause I’m tempted…
George Bush doesn’t care about black people. Kanye West drops a bomb on live TV that catches NBC, Mike Myers, Chris Tucker and countless amounts of viewers by surprise…
Yesterday was a nice relaxing day, around 4pm I met up with Phillip to walk around Downtown Atlanta and then head over to Turner Field for the Braves vs. the Nationals game…
It was a fun time, invariably the conversation went on to the goings on in New Orleans, and then the running joke was everything was expensive due to a shortage of whatever in Louisiana… I wish I could remember a few of the classic ones…
Example:
Get your genuine wallets from China, only $50! They’re so expensive due to them being shipped in via Louisiana…
OK, bad example, maybe it was a “you had to be there” kind of joke… We also spotted a suspicious bag left unattended right beside the State Capitol and City Hall, and being the good citizens we are, we reported it to the nearest cop. I can only assume a SWAT and Bomb Disposal team stormed the area and performed a controlled explosion, we didn’t bother to check afterwards.
Anyways, after walking around Downtown we watched a pretty abominable pitching display by the Braves bullpen as they took their sweet time in beating the Nationals 8-7 after 10 innings. Truely horrific, but a great way to end a game with Andruw Jones nailing one out the park for his 44th homer of the season.

Some scary, scary reports are coming out of the Louisiana Superdome.
A 2-year-old girl slept in a pool of urine. Crack vials littered the restroom. Blood stains the walls next to vending machines smashed by teenagers.
The Louisiana Superdome, once a mighty testament to architecture and ingenuity, became the biggest storm shelter in New Orleans the day before Katrina’s arrival Monday. About 16,000 people eventually settled in. Within two days, it had degenerated into unspeakable horror. A few hundred were evacuated from the arena yesterday, and buses will take away the remaining people today.
“We pee on the floor. We are like animals,” Taffany Smith, 25, said as she cradled her 3-week-old son, Terry. In her right hand she carried a half-full bottle of formula provided by rescuers. Baby supplies are running low; one mother said she was given two diapers and told to scrape them off when they got dirty and use them again.
At least two people, including a child, have been raped as the arena darkened at night. At least three people have died, including one man who jumped 50 feet to his death, saying he had nothing left to live for.
As if that not enough, they’ve taken to firing shots at helicopters coming to rescue them… But for truely frightening stuff, listen to the police scanners.

Sean Penn planned a personal rescue of Katrina victims over the weekend but forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of his boat. Seriously… I’m not making this up, the vessel began to take on water within seconds of its launch, forcing Penn to frantically bail water out with a red plastic cup. Additionally, the boat’s motor failed to start and those aboard were forced to use paddles.
