Madonna: We’re All Going to Hell

Monday, October 17th, 2005

In a statement which must have literally destroyed the good ship Irony, Madonna is now blaming the “material world” for most of civilization’s ills: The former Material Girl now believes “the beast is the modern world that we live in!” “The material world. The physical world. The world of illusion, that we think is real. [...]

San Antonio and the NFL: Part II

Monday, October 17th, 2005

As you will recall, a while back I blogged about San Antonio’s chances of landing a NFL franchise in the future. In a nutshell, they’re less than zero due to three factors: San Antonio is a small TV market (around number 40). There are many other places with a higher rank that don’t have teams [...]

Liberals Hijack the Gold Star

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Leave it to liberal America to desecrate a cherished American symbol of sacrifice and honor: For almost a century, the gold star has been a symbol — both of national pride and of a parent’s worst nightmare. It means someone’s son or daughter has died fighting for his country. The gold star elicits respect, sympathy [...]

Streisand: Impeach Bush

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Barbra Streisand, the singing diva who once told Americans that they should dry their clothes outside on clotheslines instead of using a dryer, all the while using a dryer herself, is once again proving her ignorance to anyone who’ll listen: Cronyism, corruption, incompetence, high crimes and misdemeanors with the Bush Administration, the list goes on [...]

Cat has Two Tongues

Friday, October 14th, 2005

This is just weird: A cat in Dobson, N.C., is believed to be the only cat in the world with two tongues, according to a Local 6 News report. The cat, named Five Toes, was born with two tongues and five toes on each paw. Do you think he can meow in stereo?

Light Posting

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

I’ve been sent to a company-wide Technical Summit, so posting today and tomorrow will be light. I’ll try to post tonight after I get home.

Oregon Supreme Court: Live Sex Acts “Free Speech”

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

The Oregon Supreme Court issued an opinion on September 29, 2005 which declares that live sex acts performed in front of an audience are Constitutionally protected free speech. The opinion’s length and density suggests we’re watching very smart people do what they do best if they lack restraint or common sense: reason their way into [...]

Another Black Eye for Professional Sports

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

The next time an owner of a professional sports franchise wants to know why you don’t support using taxpayer money to build him a new stadium or arena, show him this: Minnesota Vikings players are being investigated in connection with a lake cruise that turned into a wild sex party last week on Lake Minnetonka. [...]

I Get Comments…

Monday, October 10th, 2005

Unfortunately, some of the comments left on my blog are from uneducated twelve year olds who have somehow logged onto their parents’ computer. If they are not actually twelve years old, they at least present themselves as such through their use of language. Here is the latest example: What lind of mental gymnastics is required [...]

USA: Land of the Humorless?

Monday, October 10th, 2005

The Fox News website has a section called Tongue-Tied, where they post about incidents concerning political correctness. The latest edition just makes my head spin: AFP reports that the Subway sandwich shop chain has apologized for an ad campaign poking fun at French cowardice after some Francophiles in America complained that it was disrespectful. The [...]

PETA Out to Scare Your Children

Monday, October 10th, 2005

The moonbats over at PETA have unveiled a new campaign to get people to stop fishing. It uses the below comic book-like flyer, which will be handed out to children. Some of you may remember a while back that PETA used the same tactic, only they targeted mothers. Of course, when someone calls them on [...]

The Beginning of the End of Property Rights

Friday, October 7th, 2005

The last time I blogged about the decision in the Kelo v. New London case, I warned you that it was the beginning of the slow erosion of individual property rights. I hate to say “I told you so,” but I told you so: The District will begin using eminent domain to acquire parcels of [...]
