Young, dumb girl working the register at Food Lion after I walked directly to front of the empty line to check out: “Good thing you got here when you did, if you’d been five minutes sooner, you’d have had to wait fifteen minutes to check out.” Yep. 5 minutes sooner, and I’ve have been stuck [...]

Rush to Judgement.
Am I the only one who didn’t realize the Martin/Zimmerman case was over a month old when it was introduced by the media? Did those seeking to use this case for political gains use that month to try to clean it up for public dissemination? After all that time, why were we presented with such [...]
Trayvon Martin
Well, this case might just get interesting. Apparently, a witness has emerged, who says Martin attacked Zimmerman. Let the riots begin! Oh, wait… apparently, the witness may also be something other than a privileged white male. Still doesn’t justify Zimmerman following Martin in the first place. Still doesn’t justify the self-proclaimed neighborhood watch ‘captain’ carrying [...]
Spies like us…?
I subscribe to a number of email newsletters, and a number of my subscriptions have spawned new subscriptions. That’s bad enough (bastards selling each other (or ‘sharing’) mailing lists), but today I got an email from one of the hellspawn asking why I haven’t opened their emails in awhile. Hmm. The only way for an [...]
You write the content!
I don’t produce shows for MTV. I can’t STAND so-called reality television. I firmly believe the whole genre has lowered society’s collective IQ by several points.

Joint session of congress, so he can once again lecture congress, on a subject of which he is unqualified to speak. One more job needs to be lost before the economy can recover: [...]

How NOT to run a mailing list
Some time ago, I read an article about the Office of Naval Research collaborating on an online game to help develop strategies to use against the pirates currently operating off Somalia, etc. “Cool,” I thought, and added my email address to the page to be notified when the game was ready for users. Then I [...]
If you can read this… the world didn’t end!
Good news! Unless you’re some moron who staked his hopes and dreams on being raptured up to heaven today… in that case, better luck on the next would-be prophet (profit?) you throw in with!
No pictures?
I assume we can’t release the pictures because the photos of Osama bin Laden’s corpse being stuffed with raw bacon and fed to wild dogs might be insulting. The line of sailors pissing over the rail while they dragged the remains a bit to turn them into shark chum on the props might be insulting [...]
