$81 billion on pump 10 please...
According to reports on MSNBC that's how much a man was billed when he filled up his 1994 Camaro at a Conoco station in Richland, Washington. The man had intentions of charging about $30 to the his PayPal debit card but when he got his next months statement, that trip to the gas station cost him $81,400,836,908.
To make matters worse, he had to argue with the customer service rep and force him to believe he didn't spend billions on gas in one trip. He finally got the situation straightened out, but his advice, "pay cash."

Random Question of the Day:
My previous post got me thinking about irritating periods in recent fashion history, and it raised a question.
Which was more irritating; guys wearing the whole rocker look (the tattooed skin looking thermals, ugh), or girls wearing the oversized belt over their stomachs (very sexy to start, but when EVERY GIRL started doing it with EVERYTHING they wore, from t-shirts to blouses to graduation gowns, it became a nuisance)?

Trends That Make Me Depressed: Wallet Chain Edition
I could tolerate the whole rock & roll phase dudes went through the a couple of years ago, but I wasn't always a fan of everything that came with it though. The main culprit: THE WALLET CHAIN!!!
I need one non-rock & roll enthusiast to tell me exactly why he wore this peculiar looking accessory? More importantly I need to know why there are dudes STILL wearing them. It wasn't cool then, but it was accepted because of the fad. The rock movement is gone, yet some of these silly chains managed to hang on.
If you see anyone wearing a pocket chain/wallet chain, politely say "excuse me" and snatch it on sight. If you see someone wearing one on some dress pants or sweats, punch them and I'll pay any necessary legal fees. If you are scared to approach the perpetrator because of fear that he must be crazy for still wearing the wallet chain, call your local law enforcement.

Wanna Know How it Feels to Lose $9.6 billion in 3 Months?
Ask this guy. GM reported that they lost $9.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, and $30.9 billion for the year. They also said they're burning through about $90 million per day at this point.
OUCH!

Is There a Racism Contest We Didn't Know About?
It seems like the racist humor toward President Obama is becoming more crude and original. This time, the mayor of Los Alamitos, California sent out an email blast with this picture; a watermelon patch growing outside the White House. There was also a caption that read, "No Easter egg hunt this year." The mayor went on to say he had no idea there was a racial sterotype associated with black people and watermelons.
One of the recipients of this email, a black woman who works for the city of Los Alamitos, said, "I have had plenty of my share of chicken and watermelon and all those kinds of jokes,I honestly don’t even understand where he was coming from, sending this to me. As a black person receiving something like this from the city-freakin’-mayor - come on."
People have been trying to defend this saying that it has something to do with President Obama's policies on agriculture and blah blah blah. My question to anyone who thinks blacks are oversensitive and quick to scream racism, what is it gonna take to admit when something is blatantly, inconsiderately racist and culturally demeaning? Does someone have to directly call a black person n*gger before it can finally be seen as a problem, or have we become so desensitized by the overwhelming amount of discriminating acts and gestures in America that we don't even know how to identify them?
Whatever the case, this mayor is stupid. I'm not sure how much pub the story will get, which usually determines who keeps their job or not after this kind of stuff. Truthfully though, forcing him out of office won't teach him anything. Let's put him and the guy from the New York Post in a room with Condoleeza Rice, Cornell West, Michael Eric Dyson and President Obama and see if they find stuff about monkey's and watermelons funny.

Random Thought of the Day: Sports Edition
The Pistons SUCK! I'm a Laker extremist so I don't really care, but it bothers me to see my hometown team suck so bad. They've lost seven straight and they're below .500 for the first time since like 2001.
I'm sick of folks blaming it on Iverson though. Everybody thought Joe Dumars was a genius for picking him up and giving the team options in 2010 when a bunch of stars like Lebron and D. Wade will be free agents. The problem with that is, 2010 is a season and a half away so win or lose, this is what comes with the territory of trying to make a move two years out. Chauncey was the player that made the team click. I don't care who you pick up in the process, or who you have potential cap room for down the line, you don't trade your best player, PERIOD!
Regardless, the Lakers are better than everybody, so all is right with the world.

Can Weed Really Fix Everything
A California state legislator wants to remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21. The reason? To effectively legalize and tax cannabis.
The proposal would tax $50 per ounce of weed for every sale. The legislators drafting the bill believe that taxes on the marijuana trade could amount to at least $1 billion for the state of California.
What do you think; will taxing marijuana help fix the state budget crisis?

Crackdown on the Post: John Legend Speaks
Open Letter to the New York Post
Dear Editor:
I'm trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really? Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our President has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy? Did it occur to you that blacks have historically been compared to various apes as a way of racist insult and mockery? Did you intend to invoke these painful themes when you printed the cartoon?
If that's not what you intended, then it was stupid and willfully ignorant of you not to connect these easily connectable dots. If it is what you intended, then you obviously wanted to be grossly provocative, racist and offensive to the sensibilities of most reasonable Americans. Either way, you should not have printed this cartoon, and the fact that you did is truly reprehensible. I can't imagine what possible justification you have for this. I've read your lame statement in response to the outrage you provoked. Shame on you for dodging the real issue and then using the letter as an opportunity to attack Rev. Sharpton. This is not about Rev. Sharpton. It's about the cartoon being blatantly racist and offensive.
I believe in freedom of speech, and you have every right to print what you want. But freedom of speech still comes with responsibilities and consequences. You are responsible for printing this cartoon, and I hope you experience some real consequences for it. I'm personally boycotting your paper and won't do any interviews with any of your reporters, and I encourage all of my colleagues in the entertainment business to do so as well. I implore your advertisers to seriously reconsider their business relationships with you as well.
You should print an apology in your paper acknowledging that this cartoon was ignorant, offensive and racist and should not have been printed.
I'm well aware of our country's history of racism and violence, but I truly believe we are better than this filth. As we attempt to rise above our difficult past and look toward a better future, we don't need the New York Post to resurrect the images of Jim Crow to deride the new administration and put black folks in our place. Please feel free to criticize and honestly evaluate our new President, but do so without the incendiary images and rhetoric.
Sincerely,
John Legend
** I applaud John for speaking out and I think we should all follow suit. I am writing my letter currently and if you want to speak your mind to the New York Post, email letters@nypost.com.**
