Bad Language
So, can you tell me what’s wrong with this snippet from Fox? On the campus of Washington, DC’s, American University, Senator Barack Obama was joined on stage with a trio of Kennedy’s: Congressman Patrick Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, and Senator Ted Kennedy.

Americans with No Abilities Act
My co-worker, a man of definite ideas about Certain Things and a dry wit to go along with it, offers this tidbit for your reading pleasure … The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) WASHINGTON, DC - Congress is considering sweeping legislation which will provide new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as a major legislative goal by ...
I hate affiliate marketing
A screen scraper has scraped a post I made and posted bits of it (with a link to me, the jerks) to a junk-link affiliate site. I’m going to go think of appropriate things to do to the person who came up with that site and endowed it with the post scraper. May karma treat all those who ignore ethics and harass others for money appropriately.

via Digg - What is up with the orange spray tans, the pouty faces, the starched light-socket hair?! I do not understand. And that overdeveloped creepy guy with the v-neck shirt … does his girlfriend … never mind, I’m just not going there. I mean, dude, the orange. The shiny. Wow.

The college I quit because it was too expensive has been rated the most expensive college in the U.S. I wasn’t making it up.

Odd Notes
1) Saw a photo in the “everyone” category of Flickr that took me aback, as there appeared to be some male bondage action going on. Turns out, it was wrestling photos. I’m just saying. 2) Noticed, as others have, that the Tumblr blog is on … Wordpress. Clicked the link to see why … and found this lovely quote that encapsulates the beauty of tumblr, “unlike...
Woo!
I can pay for almost two months of living when I retire! (Yeah, it’s the small accomplishments that matter.)

Saw this link on a Flickr profile and, if you know me, you know it would get re-posted quickly. I am not a gun (or violence) fan, in fact being one of the most pacifist people I know, never having touched a gun in my life. This link in particular, about global weapons control, puts me in mind of my early college days, when I was an international affairs major, peace & conflict resolution...

Quote: “You only know that because you have an unnatural fascination with the guy who starred in Real Genius.” - Henry to Shawn, after Shawn popped up with an off-the-cuff reference to Val Kilmer’s birthday (January 18, 2007 episode of Psych) I KNEW there was a reason I liked this show. I betcha James Roday modeled Shawn after Chris Knight.

WTF is an SP?
OK, just ran across what is apparently a Tom Cruise video produced by the Scientologists. First of all, I watched both versions, and I still don’t really know what he’s actually talking about. Is he just rambling? Is there a point? Why is he laughing? I can’t say I would’ve guessed he was religion if someone hadn’t told me. Second, the flinging about of random...

It shocks me that Wal-Mart continues to force themselves on people that clearly don’t want them. Even when there are lawsuits filed against them by community groups to stop them from building in a locale, they still persist. Why don’t they get the message? This isn’t the first time I’ve seen something like this happen.

Oops. That has to suck a lot.
No thanks
I have gotten a couple of requests for photos from my Flickr account. The ones for the San Antonio travel guide, sure, whatever. But yesterday I got a request to use a photo I took at the Maker Faire for an article entitled “Computer Games ‘Scramble Young Minds’”. No thanks, buddy. I don’t share your concern for the young minds of America. I started with computer...
