So unpleased was Mrs. Greenberg that she contacted Thomas Hawk’s employer. I wish I were kidding. Despite the fact [...] You may remember me posting about the “mom and pop” ice cream joint that wasn’t too pleased with accepting credit cards.

We are a small mom [...] The thug in charge of the Transit Strike in December has been sentenced to ten days in prison and a $1,000 fine for violating New York City’s Taylor Law, which prohibits public employees from striking. In a statement, Toussaint said before the court: “We were engaged in civil disobedience, we did so because we had to. [...] Oh sure, you all know who she is. Annah Boyer was the woman who laid into me like some whipping boy because I dared call LifeGem, the company that turns dead people into jewelry, ghoulish… Anyway, she had the stones to write me another e-mail. Yep, they never go away… Dear Insignificant Thoughts: Apparently someone has [...] From My Way News: WASHINGTON (AP) – In a congressional election-year repudiation of President Bush, a House panel dominated by Republicans voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to block a Dubai-owned firm from taking control of some U.S port operations.

Technorati Tags: cyclopes, kitten So, this morning I didn’t have a chance to read my “newspaper feeds” before I left the house and wrote about Cindy Sheehan gettin’ roughed up by the five-o. Well, turns out one of her supporters is actually the one who “roughed her up.” Via Newsday: Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was roughed up at a [...] A few months ago, Barefoot Paul (admittedly not one of the sharpest knives in the drawer, else why would he be barefoot?) pointed out the following little tidbit of idiocy: Why should we ponder a lie? Abortion rates were steadily declining until Bush came into office. See here. To which I aptly responded that the data presented [...] You might remember a story I posted on the 16th of May. It was about a woman in Seattle who was pretty angry that her plate had caused someone to complain to the state because the message John 3:16 on a vanity plate was seen as an endorsement of religion. As it turns out, the [...] Rep Sanders, who’s story was on this very site, has apparently lashed out at the Bennington Banner, calling their story a lie: The way Rep.

Harvard Monday, April 4, 2005 (04-04) 16:58 PDT BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University did not discriminate against a library assistant who claimed she was repeatedly turned down for promotions because school officials saw her as “a pretty girl” [...] Apparently the Harvard applicants who surreptitiously peeked at their admissions status aren’t willing to concede they did anything wrong. In fact, who’s fault is it, according to them? One applicant questioned how it was unethical to view information that was intended only for you, if you have no intent or ability to change it. He argued [...] Never let it be said that I don’t post followups when I’m wrong. I wholly admit that this time, I was wrong about the debates. Yesterday I made the following prediction: And, just for shits and giggles some thoughts beforehand: a: Does anyone believe that there really are people out there who, less than thirty days out [...] Me, July 24, 2003: Insignificant Thoughts: I’d have to admit… Kobe Bryant is in pretty big trouble.
