Hillary Clinton blamed Americans this week for the drug violence in Mexico. Because Americans are consuming so many drugs, Mexicans are getting killed. Brush aside the fact that her husband, former President Clinton, smoked marijuana. Nobel Prize winning former Vice President Al Gore also smoked weed. Governor Arnold of California even appeared on film smoking a jay before his political career began. I would comment on Michael Bloomberg’s use of “the gateway drug,” but I’m quickly running out of drug terms, at least in the case of marijuana usage. I could talk about former President Bush’s alleged heavy cocaine use and current President Obama’s admitted use of “blow.” And there’s a lot of other folks I could mention here as well. So, yeah, Senator Clinton’s absolutely right. The people responsible for Mexicans getting killed in drug violence are Americans — American politicians.

I’ve been prepping for an important telephone interview for the last few days. Today, in a last minute attempt to get just a little bit more of an edge, I found a book on interviewing called Job Interviews That Mean Business. I flipped through the entire book to get a feel for the best place to start, that is, until I came to Chapter 9. Chapter 9 was called, and I kid you not, “Sex and the Interview.” What?! A flurry of questions came to mind:  Does this happen enough to write a chapter in an interview book about it? If this does happen, will it help or hurt my chances of landing the job? Is there a special room that you conduct this type of interview? Not knowing that this is a possibility, is this why everyone else I know doesn’t stress about interviews? I’m pretty sure this doesn’t happen, but somebody please tell me if it does. Remember you can leave an anonymous reply in the comment section below.

But in all seriousness, you can call me old school if you want, but under no circumstances will I try to get sexy with an interviewer. That seems totally inappropriate on so many levels that I wouldn’t know where to start. Unless that’s a skill that is applicable to the tasks I’ll be performing on the job, it’s not going to happen. Uh uh, no way.

It was as weird night in my project management class. We were discussing an article that concerned project management problems associated with NASA projects. At one point, the professor says something about people not believing that people actually landed on the moon. Strange, because a recent episode of my favorite radio talk show, Coast to Coast AM, addressed this very same issue a few days ago. The guest on that show claimed that people couldn’t have landed on the moon because they would die passing through the Van Allen radiation belts. That, in and of itself, seemed plausible enough, but I’m still not sure if that could prohibit a trip to the moon. While I am into conspiracy theories, I don’t believe all of them. Still, I felt a little embarrased that I even knew so much about the moon hoax theory.

In the case of the moon hoax theory, someone on C2C (not sure what day) stated that NASA had the technology to shield astronauts from the radiation of the Van Allen radiation belt, since they recovered it from the alien spacecraft that crashed at Roswell. I’m not sure, but I think the person making that claim was serious. Anyway, with all the troubles and problems of sending people into space AND Hollywood expertise, it seems that it would be much easier to convince people that we went to the moon than to actually send someone. If the moon’s so cool, then why don’t we go back sometime? Oh, yeah, I forgot, it was the moon shard and other strange structures on the moon. Scary stuff, but it’s probably just some leftover camera equipment or something like that…
