Catching Up

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

     ah. I hate having to work for a living. That having been said, it seems like I’m doing a lot of it recently, leaving not much time for the whole blogging/website thingy. Or, say, having a life. Right.
     I’ve had to do a bit of re-arranging, graphic-wise, as the dashboard for the hosting service was wanking [...]

Punday Night: Pandamonium

Monday, May 14th, 2007

      panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the manager shouts, “Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn’t pay for your sandwich!”
     The panda yells back [...]

A Toast! (4)

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

o Jay Thaker, a seventeen-year-old who had a question about iPods and pacemakers. Instead of waiting around for someone to find the answer for him, he went and figured it out for himself.
To Monica Goodling, one of Alberto Gonzales’ flunkies. She’s such a good flunky that I’m starting to think that Gonzo will get off [...]

Funny Songs

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

     he video to the right there is the funniest thing I’ve seen on YouTube in forever. The song is done by a fellow named Roy Zimmerman, a musician/satirist, and he is hilarious. I’d never heard of the guy until Pharyngula linked to him last night. If you go to YouTube and do a quick search [...]

Wednesday Riddles

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

      am occasionally seized with the urge to “vlog” — as they’re apparently calling it. That is, to have a video blog. However, the vast majority of my blogging happens directly after I wake up and stagger from bed, zombie-like, to the coffee maker. So, generally (today’s an exception), the person behind the words is [...]

Punday Night: One-Liners

Monday, May 7th, 2007

     “ot only was I stumped,” said the lumberjack, “but I was barking up the wrong tree.”
     This has got to be the weirdest spring I can remember. Here it is May 7th, and we’re only just starting to get buds on trees this past week. It’s also been freezing at night. The days have mostly been [...]

Links N’ Bits

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

     ush is asking Congress to draft him another war funding bill, but isn’t offering any clues about whether he’ll compromise at all about the troop withdrawal deadline. Hey — I can offer a clue, and it’s that he isn’t going to compromise. End. Of. Story. Also, the White House is trying to redact the transcript [...]

A Toast! (3)

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

     t’s time again for the weekly Toast, where I heft my glass to those who are aggravating the hell out of me, or conversely, doing an awesome job at something.

To wasps, hornets, and bees of all stripes, who appear to love me despite my unreasoning phobia of them. Stay out of my car, you [...]

Smokin’ In The Boys’ Room

Friday, May 4th, 2007

     ow The World Can Be Saved — By accepting a reduction of just 0.12 percent in global economic growth, we can avoid the worst consequences of global warming, according to the IPCC. The catch? It only works if everyone joins in.
     The thing that really annoys me about the global warming problem is that it very [...]

Glenn Beck: Global Warming Denier

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

     NN, the most trusted name in news, aired a special last night: Climate of Fear, hosted by the infamous douchebag, Glenn Beck. Prior to the special, Glenny-boy did a pre-game interview on CNN, wherein he actually, seriously, compared the global warming controversy to the eugenics outcry of the 20’s and 30’s, even going to far [...]
