I try really, really hard not to read the news these days…because I have a family, and they do not need to be coming to visit me in a max security facility every week after I snap and start killing those what need it. Sometimes the headlines just grab you though…Police Arrest Woman Allegedly Wearing [...]
I’m a child of the space-rocket era, ergo there aren’t very many things I miss about times gone by. Holding a public figure up to ridicule when they make as big an ass of themselves as this Kanye West pissant does on a regular basis is something worth missing, however.And, you know, reinstating. Inasmuch as [...]
I’m sure you’ve heard of these people, the freegans (combination of “free” and “vegan”). No, it doesn’t mean they’re loose-moraled non-dairy/meat eaters…okay, well it might mean that…it means they have eschewed capitalism to the point where they prepare their meals based on what they can scavenge, not what they actually purchase.Yes, I said “scavenge.” For [...]
Snipe of the Day Fairly high up there on the List of Things That I HateTM are people who call you back when you’ve hit upon a wrong number and decline to leave a message. Hey, stupid. If I’d wanted to talk to you, I’d have actually left a message. Is your life so empty [...]
I swear to Zog, you people just crack me up. Three times this week I have seen someone whinge about “suppression of free speech” and each time the rocket scientist in question has been D-E-D dead wrong in attempting to apply that principle to the dealings of private citizens and businesses.In two cases, the whingers [...]
I may bleat (justifiably, mind you) about the intellectual dishonesty (and moral decrepitude) of the American press, but the British press really makes them all look like diaper-wearing amateurs. Take the whinging currently going on regarding Man vs. Wild‘s Bear Grylls and how he GASP! might have stayed in a hotel room while filming some [...]
As I sit in front of my computer getting all excited about another Wes Anderson movie (The Darjeeling Unlimited), the Husband shakes his head in perplexment. (Oh yes, that’s a word, STFU.)”He makes people movies,” says the Husband. “Yeah, he does,” I admit. “But…but, you hate people,” he says. And it’s true, I really cannot [...]
I don’t know how much longer I can adhere to my “no politics” rule here, particularly when confronted with stupidity of this ilk: On Wednesday, the I-word came up for California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer in an interview with talk radio’s Ed Schultz. When Schultz brought up the subject of impeachment, Boxer said “Look, I [...]
This makes one nostalgic for the practice of drawing and quartering. Oh, look, another immigrant. I’m not against immigration, per se, after all, we’d hardly have much of a country without it. Well, an ANGLO country, anyway. However, isn’t it time to enact some fucking STANDARDS?? Xst.
Everyone involved with this horseshit needs to be slapped. Hard. “Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward distributing power-efficient light bulbs and other measures to offset the shows’ greenhouse gas emissions.” Update: Read this article (via Michele) for more precise detail on the monkeyfuck stupidity of this entire concept. And you, John Mayer, you are [...]
