Don’t ask me why Rachel Ray is up here. She just is.

A flight attendant’s union for Northwest (recently bought by Delta)  is now upset over a certain red dress designed by Richard Tyler, who apparently is like the airline industry’s version of Bruno.

From Yahoo News…

The union that represents flight attendants who worked for Northwest Airlines before it was bought by Delta Air Lines is crying foul over Delta’s failure to offer bigger sizes for its signature red dress uniform designed by Richard Tyler.

The Northwest chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA has filed a grievance with the world’s largest airline operator, asking it to offer the red dress up to size 28.

“I think red is an eye-popping color and it’s not subtle, and to me by not offering it in a size over 18, Delta is saying, ‘We don’t want you wearing that if you are over size 18,’” Reller said. “But the job isn’t about being sexy. It’s about safety.”

You know, pornstars say the same thing all the time.  It’s not just being sexy.  It’s safety, too!  That’s why they always use condoms!  Sigh.

I really don’t understand why people can be this upset about a FUCKING DRESS!  You still HAVE JOBS!  It’s the worst recession since the 1920′s and you are EMPLOYED.  Not only that, you’re employed to, “perform the safety and security functions of their job, including being able to reach and close overhead bins, reach and close any of the aircraft doors and be able to sit on the aircraft jumpseat and fasten the flight attendants seatbelt,” according to Delta.  Obviously this job is far too difficult if you dont’ look stuuuuunning!!

Yes, I know that to be fair, the dresses should be available in larger sizes too.  Having the petite women in red and the other women in black will signify in no uncertain terms who Delta’s poster girls are, and are not.  But you know what?  That’s life.  I don’t get to wear a Speedo for a living.  David Hasselhoff does.  I can’t model underwear either, I’m just a lowly engineer.  Woe is me and my gainfully employed, financially autonomous self.  If you’ll excuse me, I’ll just go lay down and die.

This is not my area of expertise as I am not a follower of the Barack Obama cult, but I gotta hand it to him, hes a pretty ordinary guy. He plays hoops when not averting difficult questions which would cause him to actually take a hardline stance on an issue; and although married, steals a glance at a nice ass while on a diplomatic mission:

I was at the salon today (yes, I prefer a salon, women know how to cut hair better than a 70 year old Korean war vet) and ran my eyes over about 4 hot 20 year old chicks asses coming out of the tanning area. Even if I had a girlfriend right now a guy is still going to take inventory of whats available even if he has no intentions of buying. It’s called being an informed consumer; but this poor guy can’t even do that without a photograph surfacing.

Michelle must be going into a tailspin right now asking every staffer in Washington if “this dress makes me look fat” or if her ass isn’t up to par for Barack. My advice for Obama – STAY IN FRANCE. The moment Air Force One touches down you will be right in the middle of a shitstorm. You will need to do your best George Bush to avoid the shoes your wife throws at you, and then do your best Bill Clinton to convince her that you didnt totally rail that chick after dinner that night.

Offensive License Plates Dominate the Streets

offensive license plate

While most of us are content with taking whatever plate number the DMV assigns us, there are a select number who like to make their own vanity plates. An even fewer number are willing to stretch the limits of what is and isnt allowed by their local DMV; such was the case of a man in Nevada who recently got his license plate of “HOE” approved.

From Foxnews.com

A Las Vegas man won a courtroom battle Wednesday with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles over his “HOE” license plate, which the agency refused to renew on grounds that he was using a slang reference to prostitutes.

The best part about the case was this bit however:

“While the Urban Dictionary might be an entertaining Web site about the English language, the court acknowledged it’s not a reliable source for DMV decision-making about whether a license plate is vulgar,” Gasca said.

It’s a good thing our government is not using Urban Dictionary as an official dictionary. Even though congress has its own YouTube, and Obama loves Twitter, the slang in Urban Dictionary has no place in our nations courtrooms.

It’s even better that free speech is still alive and well in this country. This guy said he liked Lake Tahoe, so let him put HOE on the plate. I see nothing wrong with this.

Also today, from Barstool Sports, a picture of a New York plate “RU18YET” – This is awesome.

Pandora One – Is it Worth It?

For those who use Pandora.com on a regular basis, a sad e-mail was sent out today regarding the future of the service. Starting this month, Pandora will start capping online listening to 40 hours per month.

While we did the best we could to lower the rates, we are going to have to make an adjustment that will affect about 10% of our users who are our heaviest listeners. Specifically, we are going to begin limiting listening to 40 hours per month on the web.

- Tim Westergren, Founder Pandora

For those of us who may listen at work, or enjoy setting up a playlist for a night of drinking, 40 hours a month is fairly easy to get to. That would work out to about 1 hour a day on average, or the equivalent of 15 songs (or drilling down even further, about 1 CD per day). With Pandora One charging 36 bucks for a year subscription it appears to be quite the deal. Lets break it down.

With Pandora One you can stream unlimited hours of music commercial and ad free for 1 year. For that same $36 you can buy 36 singles on iTune, or 4 or 5 albums at Target. With $36 dollars you could also buy one brand new Blu Ray at retail price (something I strongly discourage – get them on sale at amazon.com, but thats a different blog)

If you are a Pandora addict like me, it would be worth looking into this subscription service. While there are many alternatives to Pandora, there is just something about how it all comes together with this service which is why I always keep coming back.

Of course, we can still hold out and hope they remove the cap and continue to offer the same great service and find new ways to make money. If you are interested in finding out more about Pandora One, head on over to http://www.pandora.com/pandora_one
