I can’t believe I am writing this, but I actually kind of respect Donald Trump. I know reading that statement you may have now lost respect for me, but read me out.

Last week, on Celebrity Apprentice, Trump had to decide between two women based on their performance in the week’s tasks. This alone is rare because if you have ever seen an episode of The Apprentice you know he usually doesn’t fire his favorite person. He latches on to one biased impression (looks, first statement, or what his old-man advisor or somehow relevant daughter says) and picks based on that.

Trump was going to pick based on performance but then he asked Chloe, from “The Kardashians” why she missed a couple of days. She told the Don she had to make a court appearance for a DUI she received some time ago. Immediately Trump had decided.The Donald fired Chloe because of the drunk driving and told her it was one of the worst things a person could do.

Some of the contestants had a problem with that desission, but Trump stood firm and said he wouldn’t tolerate that.

Lead By Example

With the recent tragic death of Nick Adenhart (Angele’s pitcher) and passengers, and Donte Stallworth’s unfortunate car killing, both caused by alcoholics driving, it is nice to see someone take a stance. Trump has basically sent the message that just because you haven’t hurt anyone by driving drunk, doesn’t mean that you could not have. This lack of critically thinking, or thinking of others, lead to Chloe getting fired.

Often times DUIs can lead to slaps on the wrists, especially for celebrities (even ones that are famous for having a sister in a leaked sex tape…basically famous by association). Losing your job can really hit home. Granted in this case Chloe was fired and given $20,000 to her charity of choice…but still.

There are consequences: your job.

Donald Trump…good call. Now don’t let this kudos go to your carpeted head.

After some Mexican food and a few margaritas (blended for Bagira), Bagira and Gazzuolo decided they needed to go out and do something crazy. They were feeling it: the urge to leave a trademark of destruction and let the town know that yes, a kitty and a man, will and can, own this lan…d.

Anyway, the idea was simple. Get buckets of white paint and secretly paint every car, house, and stop sign in town! Unfortunately, that amount of paint was hard to come by at 2 in the morning. Also, let’s face it… Bagira and Gazzuolo are broke. One lays around all day and the other is a cat!

White Out!

They desided they were going to stick to the theme of white because they already named this blog “Painting the Town White”. That left one option: toilet paper the hell out of the town! They grabbed all of their supply (about 5 rolls) and were about to head out when it hit.

Meooooooowzerrrz! Bagira ate the worm when he killed a bottle of cheap Tequila and that turned him strait retarded. He couldn’t even walk.

“You f****** pussy”, Gazzuolo yelled.

Bagira had been down and just about out. He rolled under the table and in kitty talk muttered. “Just leave me man. Go on with your white paper town makers and…Okay now I, now I… I have 2 fingers. Is this real life?

One drunken kitty and an unpainted town. Nothing is safe from “The Adventures of Bagira and Gazzuolo.”

Death to Humans! Every machine with the ability to kill efficiently and well, with intent, should have the aforementioned mission statement as their slogan. It just so happens one company does utilize “Death to Humans!”

Bentley Motors Limited, a British company owned by Nazi supporting Volkswagen now, has turned its vehicles into luxurious sophisticated killing machines. They are simply getting back to their days when James Bond (in the novels) was all about killing. Sure, sure…save the day. But kill a little while you are at it, would ya?

Bentley’s reversion back to the “Death to Humans” days has recently be noticed due to…well, the high profile killings they have been involved with lately.

Built in Silencer

In Los Angeles, last February, a man suspected to be famous DJ Khaled was in a slow-speed car chase that resulted in him finally killing himself. Rather than letting the police overtake him in his Bentley, he shot himself in the head. The advanced interior sound proofing design of the $100,000 plus Bentley made for the perfect silent shooting so as to not alarm the slumbering neighboring community. Bentley: not just think of the flashy suicidal driver, but also the slum sleeping neighbors.

Knowing they (Bentley) may not achieve national media coverage they established a backup plan.

Enter Dante Stallworth

The Brown’s WR Dante Sallworth recently hit and killed a pedestrian running across the street trying to catch a bus. Stallworth claims he was not trying to hit the man and even flashed his lights so the man would move and not be driven down, down to the hard pavement of death. Stallworth may have not wanted to kill, but his Bentley had one thing on its engine…Death to Humans.

For once, it’s nice to see the Browns on the winning side of a killing.

While searching for Nathan Fillion movies on Netflix I came across a great mini Internet musical movie titled: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It also stars Neil Patrick Harris. It was created by Joss Whedon in three acts and can be seen for free.

Whedon created and wrote classic science fiction shows such as Firefly…starring Nathan Fillion. Take a look at this clip from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. If you like the snippet below, go back and watch the whole thing.

Since the night of March 10th, two unlikely bachelors have paired up under one roof. The little kitty known as Bagira moved in with the Gazzuolo known as Dom…temporarily. Since the fellas do not know how long their combination will last, they have decided to go all out and make every night an adventure.

Bagira and Gazzuolo have determined they will chronicle their adventures for future buddies to use as a guideline to living the bachelor buddy dream. Kitties come up to Baggy (short for Bagira) all the time and ask, “Meeeooowwwzers?” If he had a mouse for every time he was questioned in that exact way, he would have more mice than the movie “An American Tail“.

For the first time Bagira answers the constant kitty questions with actions. The adventures of Bagira and Gazzuolo will surprise, entertain, inspire, and even put a smile on your face. Their antics and adventures will make little girls giggle and grown men cry.

Join Bagira and Gazzuolo next time when they: Paint the Town White!
