next

The next 22 year old who tells me they're "getting old" is going to get a smack.




I'm just saying.

spoilt rich kid whines because he doesn't get his way

Charles felt 'tortured' over Camilla

You thought I was talking about Chimpy didn't you?
The similarities are there. Chimpy whines about everything. And so does the royal Chump.

baby steps

Conn. Legislative Panel Backs Civil Unions

I'm taking this as a positive thing.
I believe people should be able to marry anyone else they choose. But we all know the creepy kooks who are attempting (okay, okay, have) to take over our country will do everything to prevent freedom of choice of any kind.
So baby steps are good.

making friends the whole world over.

Bush's Gloved Handshake a Slovak Faux Pas

Is it too much to ask that Chimpy picks up an ettiquette book before he goes overseas?
Does he not have any handlers who can look these things up?
Or does Chimpy just simply think that he is too good to respect the cultural mores of other nations?

sitting at home in my jim-jams

I love rain. I really do. It's been raining here in Los Angeles since last Thursday.
I'm sure you've heard about the flooding and the mudslides.
I was supposed to go hear Charlie Rose speak this evening at the Music Center.
I gave myself plenty of time to get there. If there's one thing I am, it's overabundance. And it's not raining as I leave home. As I get closer to Downtown, it starts POURING. And traffic comes to a dead stop.
Half way to Downtown, and I'm stuck in traffic. No problem, I've still got an HOUR to get 15 miles.
5 minutes. No movement.
10 minutes. No movement.
15 minutes. No movement.
20 minutes. Cops come by and close the freeway. Seriously. No traffic either way. We had to get off. So I think, no problem, I'll surface street it. Yeh, good luck with that. The surface streets are clogged and flooded as well.
I had to turn around and come home.
So I'm sitting at home in my jim-jams.

The rain better clear up before the Big Dog comes to town next Wednesday night.

hey aren't those the red ones?

Study: Binge Drinking Highest in Midwest

I'm just saying.

a story that needs much wider notice

A man called Jeff
John Aravosis on Americablog has posted the ultimate story on "Jeff Gannon".
It's an amazing piece and everyone should read it.
And if you think it's about the sex, you just don't get it.

Hi, I'm the AP. I love to use misleading titles.

Baltimore Mayor in Spotlight Over Remarks
Martin O'Malley's in the spotlight all right. But it's not his statements this time. It's statements by Gov. Ehrlich's staff member Joseph Steffen. Who was fired. For making up a lie.
Martin O'Malley might be a bit of a loose cannon. But he's not the one telling the lies.

advice, please

So, I'm buying a new computer. And no, it's not a Mac.
I'm sticking with Dell. My current computer is a 7 year old machine that has been wonderful to me.
But now it's time for more.
Anyway, here's my question. How am I going to get the stuff from my old hard drive onto my new hard drive?
I don't want to get someone else to do it. Last time I did that, all my email, all my bookmarks and about half my documents disappeared.
The old machine has a floppy drive, a zip drive and a ubs port.
The new machine is not going to be configured with a floppy.
What do I do?
Thanks.

excuse me? mr. pot? have you met mr. kettle?

U.S. Blasts Human Rights Panel Selection

And you'll notice that the Administration is leaving out best buddy Saudi Arabia in their criticism.
There's no possible way that the U.S. can possibly think they have a moral leg left to stand on when the President okays torture in Guantanamo and Iraq. And not to mention, says it's okay to hold people forever if they want without charging them with a crime, allowing them access to counsel or letting them communicate with their families.

there's always next year!

Okay, so I was wrong. But dude, come on, three points is great.
I have faith for next year. This one was a learning experience.
Next year they'll be settled and absolutely ready.

Okay, I also have to add that New England played really well and showed that they are a poised and polished team that plays together extremely well. Today they were the better team.

What? You want my real prediction?

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!

Social Security seen as Bush's hardest battle

Damn you Yahoo! for messing with the funny title before I even got to make fun of it!

things i should have done sooner

If I wasn't a complete html idiot I would have put the blog ad for thereisnocrisis.com up sooner.

Sure, you say, I didn't need to know any html, but that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

the day I take advice from Jesse Helms...

is the day Hell freezes over, monkeys fly out of my ass, I'm buried 6 feet under and I vote Republican.
So in other words, never.

Helms Pleads to Keep Clinton Out of U.N.

The bloviating attention whore should just shut up.

YES YES YES

Momentum against Gonzales grows; Vote against Gonzales may run as high as 40 Dems
From Raw Story.

because Annan is not an idiot

Annan Selects Clinton for Tsunami Effort
Good idea. Pick the President the rest of the world loves to deal with the tsunami.
Maybe those rumors about Clinton angling for the presidency of the U.N. weren't so off base.
