Television rots your brain

It is always unfortunate when Congress has to miss doing something — anything really — no matter how ineffectual.
“It is unfortunate that Congress had to take additional action on this issue, but the prospect of leaving millions of consumers in the dark was simply unacceptable,” Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), a senior member of a congressional [...]

The morning after?

What was in my drink? Who are you and why are you in my bed? Here’s some cab fare. I’m late for work.

Have you snacked today?

Facebook has a number of interesting applications that can be added to a person’s profile. One of them that popped up today promised to find a person’s polling place based on their zip code. Here are my results.

Mavericks for Change

No matter what part of the galaxy you inhabit (and, yes, I’m talking to you methane breathers too!), this is the most important election of our current life times (symbionts excluded). So, please, vote.

My gut feeling (and I do always go with my gut) after watching those two go at it is that Joe Biden is much [...]

Favorite quote: “This isn’t a pander-off, this is a generic-off.” I’m guessing (although I don’t know because I rarely ever look at the news) that THIS is what the media are talking about now. It’s not what you say (because, honestly, you’re not saying anything), it’s [...]

Raw Raw Raw!

Hey sports fans. The Blue team and the Red team have picked their team captains. Show your team spirit! Buy your team hats, banners and pom-poms! Repeat the talking points; stay on message; don’t let the other side get a leg up on your rhetoric.
Zeus, I made the mistake of looking at some “news” coverage [...]

Oh, pluheeese

While I’m recouperating at home I’ve been watching the [world games]. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to mention the actual name of the games that are played every four years and that are this year being played in China… but I bet you can guess I’m not talking about WWF Smackdown.
