Main Stream Media
The problem with the media is not just that they suck, not just that they pander to the lowest common denominator, and not just they prize a pretty face above all other attributes.
The real problem is that they are proudly and aggressively stupid. Witness this exchange with Dennis Kucinich:
Now, Kucinich is not exactly my cup […]
Working for a Living is Unnatural Torture
Is there really any doubt?
Salaried employment interferes with our natural sleep cycles - where’s my goddamned afternoon nap? It forces us to spend our day among strangers, which naturally induces anxiety among humans. It forces us to be answerable to a near-stranger, who is quite likely to be stupider, less qualified and, now that I’m […]
Damn! Creationists are Everywhere
And I was going to vote for this guy, too. Yet another politician gets caught trying to make everybody happy and winds up upsetting everybody.
Why, John Tory, why?
Actually, I know why. If you’re a complete ignoramus on the subject, then “teach the controversy” sounds quite sensible. Both sides of the story and all that.
Except, in […]
“Better Than The Original”
If something bad ever happens to me, remind me never to sue in a German court.
Now that I think of it, I can think of a few people who would be better off if you replaced their heads with a lump of plastic.
They “Argued a Lot”
I want to say something witty about this, like if you’re going to keep dead bodies in the freezer, then you shouldn’t let your guests put away the leftovers, but that wouldn’t be appropriate.
You’ll Die Laughing
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Hangman.
Hangman who?
Hangman coming to get you.
That’s not funny. Once again, executions have become part of normality in the US. That’s not a sign of a healthy society in the 21st century.
All Things Must Change
Nevertheless, there is something terribly sad about building a road to the foot of Mount Everest. I understand what China is trying to do, and it’s nothing that we in the west have not done ourselves.
But one of the things that has always made Everest special was its very remoteness. Now, tens of millions of […]
What Your Kids Are Listening To.
Testicular Manslaughter
Perpetual multiplier
Procreating bastard
Ever had your gonads smashed by a ball-peen hammer?
Ever been forced into a vasectomy by and axe-wielding homovore?
Do you know the word pain?
You will when the mallet falls
Again and again and again and again:
I’ve a shotgun aimed at your testicles
To shred your testes and sever adjacent vesicles
Cold vengeance on a rapist
Immediate testicular […]
Starbucks Coffee - Blech.
So, I went to my local Tim horton’s for a coffee this morning, and there was a lineup a block long. I’ve taken the day off work, and I have no intention of spending it in a coffee lineup, so I cruised around to Starbucks. I hate lineups enough that I’m willing to spend double […]
A Real Shocker
I’m being sarcastic, of course. All attempts to curtail drug use produce disappointing results. This is true of the “war on drugs”, “just say no”, education (and so on, and so on).
As long as there are consumers willing to spend money, there will be suppliers willing to take the risk. A regulated […]
