insignificant thoughts

Al Gore blathers on and on in today’s New York Times. About what? Well Global Warming, of course. This is the same Al Gore who thinks you need to cut greenhouse gas emissions as he jets around the country for speaking arrangements telling you how much you need to sacrifice to save [...]

I had the “pleasure” of bumping into Daniel Brusilovsky when I was Producer for the Apple Phone Show. At the time, he was being touted by Robert Scoble as the next bright kid in Silicon Valley and someone who was going to rule the world. It was hard to argue; the kid had [...]

Unbelievable…

22-year-old Caressa Cameron of Fredericksburg, Virginia has become the seventh Black woman in history to be named Miss America.

The Virginia Commonwealth University student took home the crown Saturday beating out Miss California, Miss Tennessee, Miss Louisiana and Miss Kentucky for the title and a $50,000 scholarship.

Her win came as a surprise to some considering that [...]

I wanna go back to an article I posted a few weeks ago about Toyota and their seemingly poor safety practices. Here’s a clip from that article.

Although the sudden acceleration issue erupted publicly only in recent months, it has been festering for nearly a decade. A computerized search of NHTSA records by The Times [...]

Thank God for YouTube. Everything these lying pieces of crap says is captured for all eternity.

For the eight years President Bush presided over the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the left trotted out casualty numbers of soldiers as evidence that the war was failing and our leadership was incompetent.

Have you noticed, though, that those numbers aren’t coming out quite as much? That the drumbeat to leave Afghanistan and Iraq [...]

Former chief United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter was arrested in a Pennsylvania sex sting in November on a litany of charges involving a lewd Internet conversation with a person he thought was a 15-year-old girl.

Ritter, 48, allegedly masturbated in front of a Web camera while he was engaged in conversation in an Internet chat [...]

During the campaign season of 2008, Harry Reid referred to then-candidate Obama as a man being “light-skinned” and having “no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.” In essence, Reid, using a term to describe black people from a segregationist south, asserted that Obama was a black man of convenience and could turn [...]

There’s no way to spin this as Obama doing anything but lying. Period.

Transparency my ass.

Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.

Remember… These are the people who are going to sit in a room and lecture the rest of the world on the sacrifices we have to make while making none of their own. Reports have been streaming out of “Hopenhagen” that the airport is gridlocked with private planes (that’s right, folks, they wouldn’t [...]

Reading around the interwebs this morning, I’ve come to realize one thing.

Obama’s supporters, and many on the left are completely full of crap.

Remember when the criticism of Bush was that he wasn’t paying enough attention to the ‘good war’ in Afghanistan? When he was distracting us by going to Iraq? When he wasn’t [...]

Run for Governor, you piece of crap.

I dare you.

I’m listening to a radio talkshow who’s point of view I agree with about 50% of the time. On said talk show, the host just explained to a caller how stupid he was to think we derived our rights from humans, and how you can’t derive human rights from another person because you’re all [...]

As AT&T continues to benefit from its exclusive contract with Apple, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg has told analysts he is still hoping to sell the iPhone. His comments suggest that Apple isn’t actively courting the carrier—no surprise given recent ad campaigns that are aimed squarely against the iPhone and AT&T’s 3G network. They also sound [...]

Tyra Banks made lots of headlines when she told the world to kiss her fat ass after an unflattering picture of her popped up pretty much everywhere a few years ago. She became a champion for “natural beauty,” and lots of people applauded her for standing up for “real girls.” Yeah, sure.

That didn’t [...]

NYC got its anti-terrorism funding cut and many on the right are pointing out that it’s an indicator of what the country will be like in the new and improved era of Obama’s Homeland Security initiatives. Essentially, the angle being taken by the right wingers is that this has never happened before and it’s [...]

For those who build their careers on the backs of other peoples’ failures and shortcomings, the road is rough. Unless you’re living a perfect life, there’s a good chance you’re going to end up getting the same abuse you dish out to them.

Luckily for David Letterman, his targets over the years have way more [...]

In a YouTube video posted by Democratic blogger Ben Tribbett from a Sept. 25 McDonnell reception, Johnson tells a small crowd that Virginia needs a governor “who can really communicate, and Bob McDonnell can communicate.”

“The other people I talk to, especially his op-op-op-o-opponent, di-di-did this all through my interview with him,” she said to muted [...]

Leo Laporte has built a solid, profitable media business with TWiT.tv, his network of podcasts focused on technology.

Speaking to the Online News Association last week (via Jeff Jarvis), Laporte said he is pulling in $1.5 million annually, with just $350,000 in costs. (So roughly $1.1 million in annual profit.)

What’s more, he says that revenue is [...]

For years, they were the butt of Letterman’s jokes for their infidelity. For years he made jokes, one-liners, monologues, and top-ten lists. They were his crutch when he had nothing else to joke about and his cheap laugh from his sycophantic crowd who lost track of the [...]
