Little Smartass

This sounds like something I’d have done as a kid: James Campbell, 62, received a deferred sentence last week for assault stemming from the Oct. 8 incident. The charge was leveled against Campbell after a 12-year-old passenger on the bus … Continue reading

Searching For The Pro-Death Candidate

Maybe someone can explain Howard Dean’s incomprehensible position on the death penalty. He and John Kerry apparently think only child murderers, cop-killers and (now) terrorists should be eligible for the death penalty. I understand that crimes that target children are … Continue reading

Dean Gets It Right

Why would anybody with a brain support Al Sharpton? Now he’s claiming that “Howard Dean’s opposition to affirmative action, his current support for the death penalty and historic support of the NRA’s [National Rifle Association’s] agenda amounts to an anti-black … Continue reading

Most Offensive Halloween Costumes Ever!

Gee, I wonder what would happen if I competed in the office Halloween contest wearing one of these costumes: Takes, ahem, balls to wear that one. Oh, lighten up. You know this shit is funny. (Though the last one is … Continue reading

The Right Approach to Gun Safety

The Democratic Party finally seems to be righting itself on the issue of gun control: Democratic presidential candidates are distancing themselves from tough gun control, reversing a decade of rhetoric and advocacy by the Democratic Party in favor of federal … Continue reading

Do Not Pass Go

Is it just me, or does the new U.S. currency look like they’ve just been pulled out of someone’s washing machine? I dunno about this Monopoly money. For one, it doesn’t have the clean crispness of greenbacks. The new dollah … Continue reading

Ooooh, good one!

Posted without comment: As Howard Dean walked over to pet the 600-pound hogs on a visit to a family farm here on Wednesday morning, he blurted out his imaginary headline, “Governor speaks with Washington lobbyists.” Nice. But I still ain’t … Continue reading

Orgasmic Simulation

This little Web doodad attempts to demonstrate how the other sex experiences pleasure. Sounds about right to me. Via Brainysmurf via AtlanticBlog.

So Long, Mr. Misery

Shocking and depressing news today, with the word that Elliott Smith is dead. I first heard Elliott Smith’s music in 1997, when a friend dragged me to a performance in Philly. It was the first concert I’d ever attended. He’s … Continue reading

Stupid Blog

Well that was a vacation. I first sighed on the 10th. It is now the 21st. I think it’s time to get back to work.

Huh

Dean is doing his “Take Our Country Back” thing again: Dean, one of seven Democratic presidential candidates to address the Arab American Institute’s national leadership conference in Dearborn, pointed to an American flag and named some of the people he … Continue reading

Where I Live

I got bored and took these pictures of my room with my new camera a few weeks ago. They were on my hard drive gathering dust, and since I have this nifty thumbnail generator, I figured I’d share them. I … Continue reading

Naivete

An exchange I had with the elevator operator at work this morning… Him: Morning. Me: Hi. Him: How are you? Me: Fine. Him: You look so sad. Me: Huh? Him: You don’t look happy. Don’t worry man, it’ll be alright! … Continue reading

Be Happy

I’m convinced it’s the isolation. That, or the torture of a slow news day is finally taking its toll. You see, I’ve been thinking about a few things after reading a post over at Divigate. Eric is actively searching for … Continue reading

The Leaders We Deserve

I remember a time when liberals ridiculed Republicans for choosing George W. Bush, an empty suit with precious few accomplishments, over John McCain, a Vietnam war hero with a long record of public service. Stupid idiots, the liberals chortled. We … Continue reading

Why Thank You

We’ve all seen roadkill, but you have to wonder what kind of person thought this up:   I have to admit, though, that I found it funny. You do too, admit it. Let’s just hope it was, in fact, roadkill. … Continue reading

Twist of Fate

If I were this lady, I would’ve never married into this name. Maybe it’s her maiden name, and she just had cruel parents. There are so many deliciously awkward workplace sentences to use her name in, I won’t even bother … Continue reading

The New York Post

I’ve just realized that people are much less likely to care about one’s “business vacation” photos unless the individual himself appears in the pictures. Next time, I’ll either make sure my company is willing to operate these newfangled electric doodads, … Continue reading

Heapings of Hypocrisy

Maybe it’s just that liberal media screwing with me, but Republicans certainly seem on the defensive these days. Let’s start with the Bush administration. At home, there’s, the Valerie Plame affair which, worse than Watergate, is getting the full scandal … Continue reading

For the Good of Evil

I’ve always been rather disgusted by the double-standard with which the Catholic Church has been treated in the abuse scandals. Not only has there been a stunning lack of scrutiny by the government, but I’ve also wondered whether Catholics themselves … Continue reading
