You’re not fat enough. Go home.
It’s no secret TV and other forms of media promote a thinner is better kind of mentality. Mostly where women are concerned. But now, a fashion show in Spain has decided skinny isn’t right, either. Then people wonder why you hear a lot of crap about an increase in depression … Read the rest

Don’t spike her coffee again. Now go pick up some trash or something.
The nurse with the afore mentioned medication problem pretty much gets off with a slap on the wrist, after pleeding guilty to drugging her co-workers. Now, she gets community service. I honestly have no idea what the hell the prosecuter was thinking letting that go. But, then, all we really … Read the rest

From the drunk tank to the court room?
It would appear that way, anyway. Some jerk ended up tossed from a baseball game in Winnipeg for pretty much being an irritating asshole. Of course, he called it just heckling, but enough people obviously disagreed with him that he ended up arrested and tossed in the tank for the … Read the rest

Due to sympatico’s complete and utter stupidity…
I’ve begun the process of phasing out that email address. Also, due to the fact I’ll hopefully be moving at some not too distant point, pending job prospects. For those of you curious to contact me, my MSN is the most recent thing to get a changing. The old address … Read the rest

Liberals: check your reality at the door.

I gotta love it when Bush looks stupid all on his own.
It means less work I have to do making him look that way. Not that I have to do any work at all, though, really… I mean, when you get caught in the biggest lie of your career, it tends to do a lot of the making you look stupid … Read the rest

The stars aligned, and my blog died.
More accurately put, my warning about crashing was justified. The server this thing sits on, and in fact the whole network it’s on, got uber hammered today, taking it down since… oh… at *least* just after I posted my last entry here. So, suffice it to say, James is not … Read the rest

This is not a good indication for the rest of my day…
I’ve been awake for an hour and a half, which kind of relieves me. It beats the hell out of 4:30. But in that hour and a half, I’ve done more dealing with keeping the rest of the house from being woken up than anything else. Apparently, my brother’s dog … Read the rest

Gotta love microsoft’s priorities.
It takes them forever to release a security update, or a fix so something like the MS blaster worm stops actually affecting people, but you go and break their DRM features, intentionally or otherwise, then watch what happens. And that, folks, is why I wish I could use linux. At … Read the rest
