Five hundred ninety-three

I hate spam. I hate junk mail. I hate companies who think I will forget they exist if they don’t bombard me with constant reminders in the form of junk mail and/or spam. What mindless drone actually sees a piece of spam and says, "Hey, I think I’ll order my viagra from [...]

Protecting the stupid, part 3,603,496,324

Maybe I was a bit of a wuss in my youth, but I was never comfortable bouncing close to the springs on a trampoline. My mind conjured up all sorts of gory images to keep me away. Things like my foot landing on a spring in such a way that my famously week ankle would [...]

Just how uninformed are Americans?

FindLaw.com has a great little poll further pointing out how little American’s know about their own country - specifically, the Supreme Court. I know, you can’t expect Larry, Darryl & Darryl to know about something as obscure as the Supreme Court, but how can less that 50% of Americans polled be able to name at [...]

I have an addiction

Not a serious kind of addiction like Heroin or anything like that. Not even alcohol, although that could have been argued at various points in my life. No, I am addicted to my bar. I don’t own it, I just spend a bunch of time there. I know I can eat and [...]

Politicians never stop amazing me

Word is Virginia is introducing an amendment to its Bill of Rights that will limit marriage to hetero unions. It’s reported that our new Governor (a Democrat no less) will not attempt a veto. How about that, an amendment to the Bill of Rights telling a group of citizens they can’t do something. [...]

Stupid liberties and their defenders…

I can’t even believe I read this in a newpaper. The same people who religiously wrap themselves in the 1st Ammendment bring you:
Democrats May Argue Liberties to Their Peril
Entire article after the jump below.
Yes, who in his right mind would actually defend civil liberties? Sure, the ACLU has a tendency to go [...]

Karmic Ass-kicking

Wednesday morning, Karma settled some kind of vendetta with me, and I’m not sure what I did to deserve it. Generally, I am quite thankful when good karma comes my way. I thank parking-karma, getting-home-from-the-bar-karma, found-extra-money-in-my-pocket-karma, you name it. I am a friend of good karma. So what’s up with my [...]

Grey on white is not good

I don’t think this has anything to do with my age or eyesight, I still see every bit as well as I did in my 20’s. Recently, I’ve noticed a large number of websites using small fonts. I mean really small fonts. The size fonts I usually use for copyright text at [...]

First the Salvation Army, now this…

Awhile back, Target told the Salvation Army they couldn’t solicit donations in front of Target stores. Apparently, they felt the was annoying, or something. I found it funny then that they had no problems with the Girl Scouts selling cookies to an overweight American populace, the Boy Scouts (with whom I have deep-seeded [...]

Elephants & Jackasses

Could I be any more apathetic about my choices for Governor of Virginia? I don’t know, ask me when the next round of talking heads run for the office. Election time really brings out the dumb in some people. I read a comment today on Pilotonline where a guy said he was [...]
