Against my better judgment, I went to Curry Chevrolet on Sunday with my wife. We’re in the market for a new car and despite my discomfort with buying an American car, we did have relatively good luck with our eight year old Chevrolet Malibu. We figured we would go in, look around, and [...]

Don’t overthink it… Yeah, I know, it looks a little “soft.” There was a smudge on the lens that I didn’t see until it was all done. That being said, it’s still the best take because I tried 3 times to recapture the “thought” on this one and it never really came out as [...] Enough bullshit, already. We have a problem. Let’s stop denying it and try to solve it in some way. Technorati Tags: universal healthcare, health, insurance, medicine
Update: Call off the dogs folks. I should clarify. I’m not talking about specific people in this post. More about the concepts as Smorty and its first batch of bloggers seem to put them out there: Yep… Apparently, the Bush administration is to blame for homework. Yep… Didn’t exist before ole W. took office. No Child Left Behind has to shoulder some of the blame here. No Child Left Behind and standardized testing not only turns your child into a slave to her test-scores, but they can even affect your property [...] I read this with my mouth hanging open. I couldn’t believe the arrogance of someone claiming that censoring in the name of a TOS is not censoring. Censoring is censoring, Heather. Period. I don’t care if you do it to save kittens from lightning strikes. I’m not debating the rightness or wrongness of censoring [...] XM today suspended Opie and Anthony because they didn’t take their admonishment over the Condi Rice “rape” skit seriously enough. No, I’m not shitting you. Apparently, XM in its infinite wisdom has suspended Opie and Anthony for 30 days, and there are rumors on the O&A fan sites that Opie and Anthony have indeed been [...] I don’t use that word often, but I couldn’t come up with another one. Maybe it’s a bit harsh, but something he’s doing really burns me. The kooks over at the Westboro Baptist Church were planning on protesting the funerals of the Virginia Tech shooting. It’s a cowardly, lower than low, garbage [...] Well, I guess all is forgiven. Don Imus has been fired. The black community can now safely go back to calling each other niggers, bitches, and hos without having some white interloper jump in the middle of it. For years I’ve been consistent on one thing. You have the right to say whatever [...] Apparently you can be as cruel as you want to animals in the UK. A woman who killed her boyfriend’s cat by putting it in a clothes washing machine after an argument was given a four-month suspended prison sentence on Monday. Diane Hannon, from north Wales, was looking after the white fluffy cat called Paws last summer [...] Fucking hell this pisses me off. Forbes magazine credits Getty for using their images and completely violates the License attached to non-Getty images (for example, they jacked one right off Thomas Hawk’s page). What the hell, Forbes? read more | digg story From Time Magazine: Recently in New York City, an unarmed black man was shot to death by police officers who thought he might have a weapon. Why do you think incidents like this keep happening? The police are addicted to a contagious need to expel rounds of deadly bullets. They cannot control themselves because they see their [...] My good friend Vidiot got all bent out of shape over Peter Roskam saying Tammy Duckworth wanted to cut and run from Iraq, the implication being that since she served in Iraq and lost her legs there, both the accusation that she wanted to retreat from Iraq was uncalled for and the choice of words [...] There’s always one. One old broad who can’t bear the thought of walking 10 feet to the store. One who thinks that because she was there when the Grand Canyon was simply “The Large Pothole,” she only has to follow laws when they’re at her convenience. Such is the case with this spectacular example [...] The fourth position from which to regard Gawker is abject fear (and probably consequent loathing) from brand owners. Of all Gawker Media’s titles, Consumerist.com has the most fear-provoking potential. This is because Consumerist.com is a brand killer. “Capitalism is broken. We’ll help you fix it,” reads the closing to the “about us” section of the Consumerist [...] What is it about AOL that makes its employees Kool-Aid consumers? I’m starting to wonder because either their employees are all brainwashed or really well-trained not to say anything to upset the corporate suits. Check out this question and answer from Download Squad and the CEO of recently-acquired AOL Property, Userplane. DLS: Given recent [...] Cory seems to be outraged that the recent restrictions on certain kinds of materials in carry-on luggage doesn’t effect those who fly on Air Force One. I know Cory’s a lib. That’s all well and good. In essence it means he is completely incapable of saying George W. Bush without saying something irrepressibly stupid [...] I knew it was only a matter of time before these stories started showing up: Earlier this month a few of the blogosphere’s geek elite publicly switched from Mac OS X to the Linux Ubuntu operating system, citing the Mac’s proprietary data format and expensive hardware as the reason. It’s becoming an epidemic these days. Customer calls customer service. Customer service doesn’t listen to customer. Customer gets enraged. Customer service still talks around the issue but never addresses it. Here the recording here. At least in this case, the drone on the other end of the phone had the presence of mind [...] So everyone is all a-twitter over the recent decision by a judge that basically outlawed companies that were “sanitizing” movies from doing so and providing them to their paying customers as cleaned-up versions. One such person that was all righteously pleased with a raised fist was Charlie over at Gizmodo, who, I’m guessing from his go-getter [...] |
