Obama on Lost?

Ok, not really. But, I had so much fun matching Barack Obama and Joe Biden to two characters of 24, that I couldn’t help but think of the possibilities of this on other shows. And, it struck me like Mr. Eko with his, as Charlie so wonderful coined, “huge Jesus stick”. LOST! Who from Lost looks like Barack Obama and Joe Biden? I came up with my answer. Look below:

It’s a match! Michael and Christian Sheperd are perfect for Obama and Biden look alikes! Obviously, I had to find a picture with Barack Obama with a beard, and I didn’t think it could be done, but thank the stars I found one! (And yes, I said “thank the stars”)

I had considered getting Mr. Eko or Matthew Abaddon for the role of Barack Obama, but Michael seemed the best fit out of all of them. Christian Sheperd was a shoe in for Joe Biden. They could be brothers if not twins.

So, there you have it ladies and gentlemen. I have wasted your time once again. But, you enjoyed it. I just know it.

Millionaire Gives Secrets to Us Poor Folk

More! More! More! Muahahahah!

More! More! More! Muahahahah!

I read an article the other day from Yahoo.com that read “10 Things that Millionaires Won’t Tell You”. The writer of this article, obviously a millionaire, tried to talk down to his readers with the most snobbish tone I have read in years. Here he is talking about how he became rich by shopping at Wal-mart and not “skimping on lattes”. It got to the point where he was actually trying to get us to feel for him. Oh, those rich folk, they have it so hard, and just think a million dollars isn’t anything in this day and age! Golly!

Give me a break, I mean I am a pragmatist in that I know there will always be rich people and there will always be poor people, but it is almost laughable how “in their own world” these millionaires are. Do they even realize they come off as snobbish prigs? Yeah, we get it, you’re rich. Good job.

Then he rubs it in at the end by saying, “Money does make you happy”. Please, anyone who actually believes that garbage is the most greedy, self-centered, narcissist in the world. Money may guarantee certain things, but the last thing it does is create happiness. Just as my favorite tv character Michael Scott from the Office says, “Mo Money. Mo Problems”.

In the end, I got sick reading this pathetic display of an article. Humanity never fails at being the most greedy and selfish piles on the planet. The rich will always get richer (and want more wealth) and the poor will always be poorer, and the middle class gets to pick up the economic tab.
