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 [...]

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. Unfortunately for me, a man who shares my name does produce shows for MTV and has apparently done quite well for himself. This would not be a concern, except [...]
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 [...]
A thought on cults
A show on NatGeo TV about cults caught my attention today. I find it somewhat amazing, but mostly disgusting that some people are so willing to give up their minds, their will, and their lives to follow a charismatic* asshole with a messiah complex. It’s even more unbelievable in this modern day of free flowing [...]
Food Shortages? Explain this.
A recent article warned that because of (global warming/climate change/al gore’s bank account) the world was in danger of increased food shortages. As usual, the gist was that the evil West is abusing the planet and the innocent, helpless third-world is starving. I’ve long questioned the logic of turning food crops into (heavily subsidized) fuel [...]
Michael Steele is a Moron
This is Michael Steel trying to be, to quote him, “too cute by half.” “This is a war of Obama’s choosing.” Apparently he forgot about Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and 9-11. I’m with Bill Kristol on this one… Michael Steele: Resign.
It’s May 20th. Did you draw Mo?
Fuck ‘em
Brrr. That was warm.
Don’t worry about your heating bill from last month. Global warming (err, climate change!) scaremongers are hard at work denying your lying eyes. World warming unhindered by cold spells: scientists “January, according to satellite (data), was the hottest January we’ve ever seen,” said Nicholls of Monash University’s School of Geography and Environmental Science in Melbourne.

Garbage in… Global warming out
So Phil Jones, the guy who invented the centerpiece of AlGore’s little PowerPoint presentation, has no fracking clue what happened to the records he based the climate scare on. He’s a (now) self-admitted disorganized piss-poor record keeper. Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational [...]
That ID theft protection commercial
Not going to mention their name, since I’m not sure they deserve the little free publicity I could provide… but here’s one to think about: In their commercial, they feature a cop who’s identity had been stolen by a fellow cop. He mentions that he noticed something on a credit card bill that he didn’t [...]
