Hon. John Baird
posted by Huy Dang at

John BairdThe Honourable John Baird, who is currently the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and for the Government of Canada, is a role model to the Reverend Huy Dang.

Mr. Baird is also the Member of Parliament for the federal riding of Ottawa West-Nepean and is a former Member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario (1995 to 2005) in the ridings of Nepean and Nepean-Carleton.

Throughout Mr. Baird's provincial career, he seemed to have voted with an open mind, according to his blog, located at www.johnbaird.com/blog.asp. Here are some good examples of excerpts from his blog:
The Legislature sat today and we debated a bill to end mandatory retirement. here is one example where I do support the government. Generally speaking their bill is a good one and I plan on voting for it!
Here is another good example:
I am often asked if I ever support anything the provincial government announces.

Today I did when the McGuinty government announced CHEO would be a centre for Ontario's Newborn Screening Program.

I have been pushing for this for more than a year when I introduced a Private Members Bill on the issue. In September we had public hearings into the bill. I also called on CHEO to be the host site of the program.
Obviously, Mr. Baird cares about his constituents and shows it, based on the way he voted at the provincial level, despite being in opposition.

In 2006, Mr. Baird was successfully elected as a Member of Parliament in the riding of Ottawa West-Nepean, and has done an excellent job representing his constituents. He has since been re-elected in 2008, and has continued to perform some fine work, especially during question period and during committee hearings.

To see Mr. Baird in action during question period, here's an example; and here's an example of him during a committee hearing.

Dr. Bruce GoldbergDr. Bruce Goldberg is a dentist. But, he isn't any typical dentist.

This crazy bastard can apparently travel in time, and he's also a hypnotherapist...

Goldberg first appeared on the now-defunct TechTV show called Unscrewed with Martin Sargent, hosted by Martin Sargent.

For more information on this crazy bastard, you can check out his website at www.drbrucegoldberg.com.

Alex Chiu
posted by Huy Dang at

I don't know why we haven't featured this crazy bastard on our website before, but now we're doing it.

Alex Chiu is a role model to us because he has invented something very important: immortality rings. Claiming that these rings will help you stave off mortality, making you live forever, this guy is a role model.

Chiu is also the inventor of Gorgeouspil, which claims to make you beautiful. So, if your breasts are too big, the pills will make them "normal." If your nose is too small, the pills will once again make them normal. It's all very funny, and it's all apparently true.

Chiu has made numerous television appearances, where most of them were on Martin Sargent's television and Internet shows in no particular order: Unscrewed with Martin Sargent, Infected by Martin Sargent, WebDrifter and Internet Superstar.

Steve Wilkos
posted by Huy Dang at

Steve WilkosSteve Wilkos is one of the most kick-ass role models, ever. Mr. Wilkos was once the head of security on The Jerry Springer Show.

Later on, Mr. Wilkos got his own show, helping people. Basically, one problem comes to the show with a problem, and the person causing the harm is usually on the show as well. Steve will then confront the "bad person" on behalf of the person who originally asked for his help. If nothing happens, Steve starts to yell, and this is where it gets funny.

But in the end, someone admits guilt, and the person is helped, 99.9% of the time. Nice guy, when he's not mad. But when he is, you're totally fucked. And don't threaten to kick this guy's ass. He'll kick yours for you.

I encourage you to watch The Steve Wilkos Show too! I think you'll find it interesting.

Charlie Harper
posted by Huy Dang at

Charlie HarperToday's role model is Charlie Harper, from Two and a Half Men.

Charlie Harper is a bachelor, living in a kick-ass house in Malibu, and manages to have sex with a different woman almost every night.

Of course, he's pretty hilarious too.

But for now, he's a role model... because of that, and because he kicks some ass.

George Costanza
posted by Huy Dang at

George CostanzaToday's kick-ass role model is George Costanza, one of the greatest characters on Seinfeld, ever.

George is a short, stalky and bald man, or as he calls himself... "Lord of the Idiots." Mr. Constanza is also known as the most kick-ass sitcom character of all time!

George exhibits a number of negative character traits. Among them are stinginess, selfishness, dishonesty, insecurity, and neurosis. That makes Mr. Constanza the perfect role model for our website.

Newman
posted by Huy Dang at

NewmanIf you watch Seinfeld at all, you should know that Jerry Seinfeld's arch-nemesis is Newman, the disgruntled postal employee who lives not too far from Jerry's apartment within the same building.

You will notice that he is always greeted by Jerry with a "Hello... Newman." Well, it's even more kick-ass when he returns the favour simply by saying, "Hello... Jerry."

Of course, the man always hates Jerry, but is always as sick-and-twisted as George, Jerry and of course, Kramer.

Bob and Cedric
posted by Huy Dang at

Bob and CedricBob and Cedric are two "street-toughs" on Seinfeld, as described by Kramer.

They first appeared on the episode titled "The Soup Nazi," when they decided to steal Elaine's recently-purchased armoire, which was being watched by Kramer.

My favourite appearance was on "The Sponge," when Kramer refused to wear an AIDS ribbon and was approached by the duo. The angle on that was just great!

Their third and final appearance was on "The Puerto Rican Day," when Kramer accidentally burned the Puerto Rican flag.

Jackie Chiles
posted by Huy Dang at

Jackie ChilesJackie Chiles is an insanely-awesome attorney that was featured on the kick-ass television program Seinfeld. The man first appeared on the episode titled "The Maestro," after Kramer sneaks a cafe latte into a movie theatre and burns himself while trying to climb over the legs of another patron.

Jackie Chiles is a parody of famed attorney Johnnie Cochran, who represented people like Michael Jackson.

Chiles is hilarious and is a fast-talker. And there are phrases with the term 'outrageous' that make him funny. A good example of this was when Kramer decides to sue Sue Ellen Mischke because he was distracted and crashed George Costanza's car because Mischke was wearing a bra as a top. Chiles described her actions as "lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!" During all of the times that he has deal with Kramer only, Kramer has managed to settle for the dumbest things, including free coffee, which he accepted before the $50,000 offer was mentioned. Then of course, Chiles would call it a "public humiliation."

This guy kicks ass and if I could, I would have this guy represent me at every court appearance if that were to happen. Unfortunately, he is not real.

In fact, this guy is so cool, the College of Law at the University of Utah has an organization named after this kick-ass guy, the Jackie Chiles Law Society.
