too much entitlement begets kick in the face
because it was slightly less than a million dollars?
fuck you. and that's from someone who has not seen any semblance of a bonus, not even the first letter of the word, not even a whiff of one, since he's started working here. and to think that even a bonus would be taxed heavily anyway. yeah, fuck you too, government.

What's not to love?
She's hot and she knows history. And she just laid the smackdown on Bill O'Reilly. Tell me: What's not to love?
“I want to clear some things up that have been bothering me lately,” Alba blogged on MySpace Celebrity. “Last week, Mr. Bill O'Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e.TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country. I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people... it's so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland.”

Pfsh!
Ho-effing-hum.
How many times do we have to tell you? Your simulations are crap! You can't simulate a complicated thing like climate from a computer model and get accurate results. For the love of all that's holy, go out and gather real data. All this fear-mongering is just giving the government more 'reason' to take control of our lives.
Gloria-frigging-Arroyo has just appointed herself 'Environment Czar'! Holy crap!!
Who said that? No, not some oil company exec or some auto industry flunky. Greenpeace did! Grean-effing-peace! Mother of pearl!
According to a simulation of planetary warming trends, failure to drastically cut greenhouse gas pollution within the next half century could choke Earth's oceans for the next 100,000 years.

"The President is already head of the government. To appoint herself as chair of a body which mandates government agencies to fulfill what are already their responsibilities - and to put aside budget for that purpose -is absurd."

Dont say we didnt warn you.
A company that cares. Doesnt it warm the cockles of one's heart? Because theyre concerned with their customers' health, the Happy Egg Company contains a warning in each of their six-pack egg cartons:
Allergy advice: Contains egg.
BJ sucks!
I meant Billy Joel, potty-brain. This article reminds me of the discussion I had with the Grif a few years back over whether or not Billy Joel deserves his place in the rock n' roll Hall of Fame. Grif, a bona fide Joel fan put up a strong defense against my accusations that he is a derivative talent at best, but no one changed the other's mind. I still think Billy Joel sucks, and the Grif still lights candles to an altar made entirely of Billy Joel album covers.
And I think I've done it! I think I've identified the qualities in B.J.'s work that distinguish his badness from other kinds of badness: It exhibits unearned contempt. Both a self-righteous contempt for others and the self-approbation and self-congratulation that is contempt's backside, so to speak. Most frequently a contempt for the supposed phoniness or inauthenticity of other people as opposed to the rock-solid authenticity of our B.J.

Gee, you think?
Really?
'Even with'? Try 'because of'.
The White House warned Sunday that the country could face a long and painful financial recovery, even with major government intervention to stimulate the economy and save financial institutions.
'Even with'? Try 'because of'.
inglorious basterds
they have work that entails the use of a laptop and they can't afford their own wi-fi? coffeshops should be more sophisticated and start charging for wi-fi usage after 2 hours.

Now this was in May 2008
Let's tick off the predictions to see whether they come true or not.
First one was good, eh?
- The imminent collapse of the U.S. Economy to occur sometime in late 2008
- The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances sometime in mid 2009
- The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse
- The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. Citizens” likely to move against the government
- The detention of those rounded up at The REX 84 Camps constructed throughout the United States
- The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses
- The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest
- The necessary and unavoidable merger of The U.S. with Canada and Mexico establishing The North American Union
- The issuance of a new currency called the AMERO for all three nations as an economic solution.
First one was good, eh?
a perfect explanation
now that we know what causes it, may we suggest disintegrator laser cannons be mounted on each car so the offending vehicle can be taken out of the equation to minimize slowing down by the rest of the herd?
Change!

The Grif is prescient
... and bailed out of Facebook just in time. If he didnt, he'd be buying one of these.
But knowing Grif, I think he bailed out of Facebook because he found something better. As the article says, Facebook is so completely over, man.
One such device, made by INQ (a London-Hong Kong handset maker) is out right now. Called the INQ1, it's a mobile phone with a web-based operating system that revolves around Facebook. That's right, just Facebook.
But knowing Grif, I think he bailed out of Facebook because he found something better. As the article says, Facebook is so completely over, man.

Something to brighten up your day
An entire site dedicated to Charice Pempengco's TV appearances.
Doesnt it make you proud? Our gift to the United States of America. I heard she'll sing God Bless America at Obama's inauguration. She's a real patriot and America will be all the better for just giving her her citizenship papers right there and then. =wipes tear=

When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
You know I will
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos

You know I will

For fresher breath
... and an agonizingly slow and painful death.
Their review, published in the Dental Journal of Australia, concludes there is now ``sufficient evidence'' that "alcohol-containing mouthwashes contribute to the increased risk of development of oral cancer''.
The ethanol in mouthwash is thought to allow cancer-causing substances to permeate the lining of the mouth more easily and cause harm.
Acetaldehyde, a toxic by-product of alcohol that may accumulate in the oral cavity when swished around the mouth, is also believed to be carcinogenic.

It's the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
And Pastafarians around the world sing praises.
The group said they watched several glowing orange spheres with octupus-like arms reaching down from them, while driving late at night.
The sighting came just three days before a wind turbine had one of its blades ripped off in Conisholme, Lincs, in what many believe was a close encounter.
And the family's description is strikingly similar to what witnesses claim they saw shortly before the wind farm incident on January 4.

what? so i can't send useless text messages?!
dude, Mumbai has been done. you need to anticipate other (new) ways they'll be coming at us.
roll your eyes, one more time
this really sounds like a religion foisting itself upon the masses in the name of 'morality'.
the internet a source of immoral material? no way! get outta heah!!!
and rolling tanks over people is an example of shining behavior. whoooopeeeeeee!
China expanded an Internet cleanup campaign Friday, shutting down an edgy blog hosting site for apparently carrying "harmful comments" and naming more than a dozen sites containing pornography or other vulgar content.
Late on Thursday, the China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center -- the government-backed body that monitors the Internet -- posted a list on its Web site naming more than a dozen sites, including Microsoft's MSN, that it says need to clean up pornographic content.
The sites contained a large amount of vulgar material that "violated society's morals, and harmed the health of young people," the notice said. It urged the sites to eliminate offensive content and for Internet users to monitor the process.

storms are brewing
while she's at it, shouldn't she take the porn industry to task as well? or at least get some money out of it?
Sigh...
Im tired of shaking a fist at Al Gore and his Nobel Prize, but I just can't help it. The fucking Nobel Prize!!
(For the record, I do think we -- that especially means you, Yanks -- are using up resources frivolously and haphazardly, but if it's causing anything, it's causing poverty and terrorism, not global warming.)
Earlier this year, predictions were rife that the North Pole could melt entirely in 2008. Instead, the Arctic ice saw a substantial recovery. Bill Chapman, a researcher with the UIUC's Arctic Center, tells DailyTech this was due in part to colder temperatures in the region. Chapman says wind patterns have also been weaker this year. Strong winds can slow ice formation as well as forcing ice into warmer waters where it will melt.What happens now to all those poor polar bears stranded in rapidly shrinking ice floes so vividly portrayed in news stories of the imminent end of Planet Earth?

And to illustrate the absurdity of the bailouts of the banks and car companies
I give you the irrepressible Larry Flynt:
“The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three,” said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. “The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.”
hmmm ... duh.
why do science types lack common sense? ah, because they need to learn the cold, hard facts supported by evidence. sheeesh.
Work it!
When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Get ill on the floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Get ill on the floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road

In which Grifter gives up his romantic ideas about living in the Big Apple...
... and starts scouting for houses in the 'burbs before the City eats his brains.
But then again, it may be too late.
Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are chastening. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting -- that's why Picasso left Paris -- this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.
But then again, it may be too late.
Sing it with me!
When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road

Irony, thy name is... Blagojevich
It's not like rain on your wedding day.
Think of a state that could use a little refresher course on ethics in government. There's a good chance a certain state whose governor allegedly tried to sell a U.S. Senate seat comes to mind.
And as it turns out, Illinois is set to hold just such an ethics course for state workers this Wednesday.
