Ad of the Week

Nice. She's going to have to open wider than that!

"Message Bearer"

Oh shit; I think all you Niven/Pournelle fans out there know what THIS means.

Epic Fail!

$150,000 damage to his employer's tractor? DUI and leaving the scene charges are the least of this guy's worries. Nicely done!

Reagan on Torture

A fine Quote of the Day nominee.

Quote of the Day

"We are America! I don't give a rat's ass if it helps. We are AMERICA! We do not fucking torture! We don't do it."

-- Shephard Smith

"Why is programming fun?"

An excellent answer to a good question. I read The Mythical Man-Month 26 years ago for seminar my freshman year in college. Still got it on my bookshelves, I know exactly where it is, and I may just have to take it down again soon.

"Don't judge a book by its cover"

A lovely reminder to us all.

COON RIDER!!!

Fighting for justice in a post-apocalyptic urban wasteland!

Quote of the Day

"If I'm corrupt, it's because I take care of my district..." Yes, possibly not exactly what his attorney would've wanted him to say.

This is a headline

...you really could do a lot with; unfortunately, I understand they're planning to bring him back. Damn you, Charles Simonyi, for your foul creation! Damn you for your Hungarian notation! God damn you to Hell.

Madoff Bail Revoked

Whoo hoo. Yeah. The SEC knew about this motherfucker in 2000. I think Rep. Ackerman went a little easy on them, in hindsight.

I'm just thinking they shouldn't be the ones doing it because they should be in a fucking federal prison. I mean, if you'd take a job helping the homeless because it paid you a massive salary, but if you weren't being paid for that, you'd just kick 'em in the balls, spit on them on the ground, and walk on by...what kind of fucking human being are you? Pardon me, "human being" should have had quotes around it.

Speaking of pigs, may I present...the Chicago Police Department!

School Reform

Indeed, the children are our future.

Grammar Nazis

Headline of the Year (so far)

Couldn't have put it better myself: Tearful Atlanta Cops Express Remorse for Shooting 92-Year-Old Kathryn Johnston, Leaving Her To Bleed to Death in Her Own Home While They Planted Drugs in Her Basement, Then Threatening an Informant So He Would Lie To Cover It All Up. Like Sheriff Joe, putting the P, the I and the G in "pig"...
