Benz on Dubs

I was told that my past couple music-related entries were relatively lackluster. Nothing like a wife to keep you honest, right? I haven't written a politically driven blog in quite some time. Thus, here we go...

First things first, what the hell is up with people wanting to select their baby's hair color, eye color, sex, etc.? I mean...talk about taking the vibe out life. Last I heard, Steinberg has retracted and said he's not going to offer physical trait selection for couples. But, it's only a matter of time before this becomes socially accepted. And when it is, are the masses going to be tall, blonde, and blue-eyed? Sound anything like the proposed Thousand Year Reich? Eugenics? Social Darwinism? Hellllllllllo.

Secondly, global warming. Seriously? Yes, I want to do everything I can to keep our planet healthy. That said, do we really need to be working on special fart-reducing food for cows? C'mon (best Gob Bluth impression)! When did carbon dioxide become a hazard? Maybe I'm naive, but isn't carbon dioxide the lifeblood of plants and trees? Right? It's a scam people, wake up.

On third, we have steroids in baseball. Who cares?!?! Does the federal government really need to be spending our money on this when we're in the middle of a full-blown recession? Hell no. Ridiculous. Let major league baseball clean this up...it's their mess.

On a lighter note, who is everyone pulling for in American Idol? I think Carmen and me are campaigning for the moderately effeminate, Adam Lambert. R.I.P. Norman Gentle. Oh, I'm sorry...is it uncool to mention A.I.? For what it's worth, I watch the show because the house drummer is a bad ass. Mad chops. The rest is just daft. That's my story...
