Taking Responsibility Instead Of Pointing Fingers

Funnyman Adam Carolla is known for two things: hilarious rants about things that drive him crazy and personal stories about everything from his hardscrabble childhood to his slacker friends to the hypocrisy of Hollywood. He started broke and blue collar and has now been on the Hollywood scene for over fifteen years, yet he never lost his underdog demeanor. He's still connected to the working class guy he once was, and delivers a raw and edgy, fish-out-of-water take on the world he lives in (but mostly disagrees with), telling all the stories, no matter who he offends—family, friends or the famous.

Adam made the following video for Prager University. In it he explains how we can all change ourselves for the better by internalizing things. If we can learn from our mistakes instead of blaming everyone else, we can in essence change the direction of our future. By doing so, maybe we will leave the world a better place when we are gone than it was before we arrived.


When you think about it, we all only have but so many years to to live. The things we accomplish, whether they be good or bad, will all be summed up one day with a dash between the day we were born and the day we died. What we do in that dash depends more upon how we perceive the world than how the world perceives us. Even more importantly, the way the world looks at the life we lived is completely dependent upon how we lived that life while we were in it.

Nursing Home Refuses To Perform CPR As 911 Operator Pleads

While this is not a situation that is caused by Obama-Care's death panels, it is an example of the callous way our health industry is already beginning to look at the elderly in America.  Now that Obama-Care is the law of the land, it is but a matter of time before the government orders all healthcare workers to deny CPR to any person over a certain age who is dieing.

Don't tell me this is just an isolated incident that will not be repeated in America, because financial constraints on our future budgets commands it to be so.  In a country of citizens that care more about their present entertainment then they do about their future well being, we have voters beginning to approve "Right to Die" legislation. Interestingly, those who are overwhelmingly voting against such laws, are the ones who are closest to death. Like it or not, it's  a sign of things to come in America.


Like Obama does today, the government will one day make a case to euthanize the elderly who are a drain on the system, and like today the younger generation will agree. Who will stand for the elderly then, those who are charged with taking care of them? I think not.  After all, we can see from the example in 87-year-old Lorraine Bayless's case, no one was willing to go against the policy to perform CPR.

A 911 dispatcher pleaded with a nurse at a Bakersfield, Calif., senior living facility to save the life of an elderly woman by giving her CPR, but the nurse said policy did not allow her to, according to a newly released audiotape of the call.

"Is there anybody there that's willing to help this lady and not let her die?" the dispatcher asked in a recording of the 911 call released by the Bakersfield Fire Department."Not at this time," the nurse said.

The incident unfolded on Tuesday when 87-year-old Lorraine Bayless collapsed at Glenwood Gardens, a senior living facility in Bakersfield.

In the seven-minute, 16-second recording, the nurse told the dispatcher it was against the facility's policy for employees to perform CPR on residents.

With every passing second, Bayless' chances of survival were diminishing. The dispatcher's tone turned desperate.

"Anybody there can do CPR. Give them the phone please. I understand if your facility is not willing to do that. Give the phone to that passerby," the dispatcher said. "This woman is not breathing enough. She is going to die if we don't get this started."

After several minutes, an ambulance arrived and took Bayless to Mercy Southwest Hospital, where she died.

The statement also said a "thorough internal review of the matter'' would be conducted.

A call to the facility by The Associated Press seeking more information on the incident was not immediately returned.

Bayless' daughter told a reporter for KGET, the NBC affiliate in Bakersfield, that she was also a nurse and was satisfied with the care her mother received.

Extreme Athlete, Erik Roner, Jumps from Hot Air Balloon With Umbrella

Professional extreme athlete, Erik Roner, jumps out of a perfectly fine hot air balloon with an umbrella.

This is how Julie Andrew's character appeared in the distance when she flew down from the sky with an umbrella in the movie, "Marry Poppins".  Well, unlike Miss Poppins, Erik needed a backup parachute or else he would have met the same fate as the umbrella did.

Student Catches Teacher Stealing from Students Bacpacks

LINDEN, Calif. - The Linden High School sophomore who videotaped a teacher apparently stealing money from student backpacks said she knew she had to do something.

Justine Betti said students had noticed things missing from their backpacks in gym class all year.

She decided to hide inside a locker to see if she could find the culprit. She did not expect it to be her teacher.

"After all the kids left she stayed in there and went through people's backpacks," Justine said, adding, "I saw her take money and then I told people and nobody believed me."

Betti decided she needed proof.

Something needed to be done. Like, that's not ok."

On Wednesday, February 13, she hid in a locker a second time, holding a phone video camera, with another camera propped up in a second locker.

"I didn't want to believe that she would do something like that because she was so nice, but then she did it," Betti said.

Both cameras show her teacher going through backpacks, with one clearly showing what appears to be money being taken from a pink backpack.

"I was like, oh my God, I can't believe I got this on video and I couldn't believe that I got it and I kept watching it over and over," she said.

Betti and several friends took the video to the principal.

"He said that he'll investigate it and he told us to delete the video but I had already sent it to my dad."

The teacher has been placed on administrative leave and both the Linden School District and the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department are investigating. (excerpt)

Redneck Skeet Shooting and a Foxworthy/Jackson Bonus, "Redneck games"

There is a famous comedian that has made a career out of making fun of rednecks. He is so good, that when he is in town performing, rednecks will do go out of their way to share their stories with him. All in the hopes that he will use their real life experiences in his standup routine. Of course I speak of none other than the very talented, Jeff Foxworthy.
Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. Besides holding the record for most sales in comedic recording history, Jeff is also a multiple Grammy Award nominee, a best selling author with more than 26 books in print, and he has conquered television, and the big screen. Jeff's humor involves everyday family interactions and human nature, a rare combination that has made him the modern day equivalent of Mark Twain. Just ask the hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and they will tell you that he is one of the greatest to ever grace a stage.



When I first watched this video, I was unsure just what angle I would take in my introduction. However, the more I watched it, the more I realized I had no choice but to use the Foxwoerthy angle as a segue. So along with the video of the "Rednecks Shooting Skeet", I am also offering you a video by Jeff Foxworthy and Alan Jackson they call, "Redneck Games".  But first, I present to you:
