Angry Dentist’s Thoughts of the Day- Zombies, Olympics, Ted Williams, Sonic Weapons

Angry Dentist’s thoughts for October 3:

• Some thoughtful hacker at the University of Florida decided to do his school a public service, and was rebuffed for his efforts.  The school has a webpage devoted to how students should deal with catastrophes, such as hurricanes and floodings and the likes.  Well, this student, looking to the future, added a section on how to respond to zombie attacks.  And of course, the school decided to erase the webpage.  So now how are students supposed to learn how to respond if zombies attack their campus?  The movies?  Well that’s just silly, isn’t.  Full story here.

• Sad news on the baseball front.  Ted Williams, the last man to hit .400 over the course of an entire baseball season, had his head frozen after his death for reasons I don’t completely understand.  Well, a new book discloses some scary facts.  First, and probably the most gruesome, was that, supposedly, his head was removed quite messily, “mutilated” they say, by people who weren’t really qualified for the job.  And after that, his head was supposedly subjected to other atrocities, such as being used for batting practice.  Not quite the fate you would expect for a revered American legend.  See, this is why my head is going to be grafted directly to a horses body after I do- none of this freezing shit.  if you can;t trust the guys working at a cryogenic center, well then, who can you trust?   Alcor Life Extension Foundation of Scottsdale, Arizona denies all of these findings, and of course, there will be a lawsuit.  look forward to seeing how this one ends up.  Full story at USA Today here.  Read it.  it’s really gruesome.

• The police just can’t win.  During the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, the police tried to use a “sonic weapon” to disperse the crowds when they turned violent or moved into areas they shouldn’t have been.  The device is basically a megaphone that can be heard a loooong distance away, and people who are close to it can feel pain or discomfort.  Now, this megaphone is not at ear level; it is raised 12 feet or so above the ground, so no one is really in direct line of the sound.  But if you are close, it supposedly forces you to cover your ears and get the hell away from it.  I have no problem with such a device.  But personally, I have no problem with shooting up a group of rabble-rousers with BB’s, either.  Anyway, guess who has a problem with this?  If you said the ACLU, well then, you get a prize.  These guys are goddamn morons.  i swear, they want chaos over at the ACLU.  Pure, unadulterated chaos.  They live by the motto: “Let everyone do as they please”.  Its insane.  Police have a job to do and the ACLU loves to stop them at every turn.  The cops in the past have used tear gas and rubber bullets and tasers and billy clubs, and every time someone gets hurt, the ACLU sticks its nose where it doesn’t belong.  What the hell do they expect the police to do when rioters and protesters don’t do as they are told?  They have tried every human to control crowds, and quite frankly, if you stick around one of these sonic megaphones for so long that you suffer permanent hearing damage, well then, you have no one to blame but yourself.  I really feel bad for cops when they have to deal with riots because everything they do is viewed as being too aggressive.  Well, what the fuck do you want them to do when violence erupts or people don’t follow directions issued for their safety?  Doing nothing is simply not an option, but everything they try is criticized.  I swear, the ACLU, like Unions, probably had a purpose years ago, but they are now dinosaurs, grabbing onto anything to give them some feeling of relevance.  if the ACLU actually wants to do good (which we all know it doesn’t), they should stick to defending people who haven’t broken the law or defied peacekeepers at international summits.

• And finally, the Olympics.  It was soooo delicious when it was announced that Chicago was eliminated from consideration for the 2016 Olympics.  For two reasons.  First, Chicago deserves NOTHING.  It is the most corrupt city in the Union, with nepotism running rampant and people being elected to posts they are not qualified or experienced enough to have.  Chicago politics is well known for being a cancerous growth, and the last thing they deserve is to host the Olympics.  Can you even imagine the firms that would have been contracted to build the needed infrastructure?  I’m sure each one of them would have had to grease the palms of  numerous politicians for the honor.  And second… anything that is a slap in the face to Obama is awesome.  The man spent so much time and energy stumping for his home town that his failure is just perfect.  Hey, if this guy can’t get a simple job like securing the Olympics, then what chance does he have in succeeding with anything else.  The man, our illustrious president, is a failure at everything he has attempted, and having the Olympics slip through his greasy palms is a cherry on top of the sundae that is his failed domestic policy.  So suck it, Obama, and get used to failing.
