Son, Don’t Let the Media Get You / Do What They Done To Me
I’m so relieved Katrina didn’t decimate New Orleans as the media had led us to believe it inevitably would. The destruction was bad, but not as bad as the media outlets had predicted. My wife has family who live near New Orleans, so it was a relief to learn the hurricane weakened when it hit […]
Weekend Leftovers
As regular readers to this blog know, every so often I go through my bookmark tab and pass along links that aren’t interesting enough to warrant a post on their own, but are interesting nonetheless. These links we call leftovers”¦get’em while they’re hot: First one’s a video clip: Watch as Jon Stewart eviscerates Christopher Hitchens […]
Il Penseroso
Cat’s in the Cradle (I’Â’m listening to the U.K.J version, but any’ll do) My child arrived just the other day, He came to the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away. And he was talking ‘fore I knew it, […]
What Powers You Ask?
I didn’t now this, but Pat Robertson has superpowers. Yup, according to CBN he is able to leg press 2,000 lb. with the greatest of ease. I wonder if the protien shake which grants him his abilites also gives him the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away…with MIND-BULLETS! That’s telekinesis, you know.
Pat Robertson a.k.a. ‘Ole Consistent
You’ve probably already heard the story, but yesterday Pat Robertson stated on television that he believed the U.S. should go into Venezuela and “take out” Hugo Chavez. If you haven’t seen the actual broadcast of Pat Robertson going insane, go here to watch the video clip. People are making a really big deal of this, […]
The Internets: A Cure for the Productive
I think I may have to build a computer that’s not hooked up to the internets, because I get side-tracked too damn easy. I have so many projects that need to be finished, and what am I looking at? Debates on I.D. and the divide between children who like comic book movies but don’t read […]
I’m So Depressed
I work out all the time and do good to maintain, and Carrot Top can find time to bulk up, in spite of all the time he must spend curling his hair.
Level of Control
Unfortunately, because of the pervasiveness of spammers, I’ve had to enable some control settings on the comments. When you comment from now on, you’ll have to type in a word that appears on your screen to log-in. My apologies to the handful of people that comment here. And to natalie335trae: Stay the hell off my […]
Digital Divide
By now everyone’s heard about the stampede in Richmond over 1,000 Apple iBook laptops. Apparently, over 12,000 people showed up, and instead of doing something logical like handing out claim tickets to the first 1,000 people, the sale turned into a riot. Go here to see a slide show of the event. I had heard […]
