Snow _again_? I don't care if it was only a "few flakes", enough is enough. I _was_ sympathetic, Mother Earth, but you just HAD to push it. I'm gonna go out and release a bunch of CO2 into the atmosphere RIGHT NOW. That'll show ya...

Behold the sheer mind-rending terror that is The Atheist Apocalypse!
edit: More web comics: The Smashing Adventures of the Bottomleys, Mangled Stare, Looking for Group, Backward Compatible. Other linky things: 17 month old toddler can read, The truth behind 1980s video games revealed, Is society ready for a pregnant husband?, "Civil forfeiture" really &*$%ing sucks, Gygax inspired motivational posters, In Regard to Surviving in a World With James Caan, Tin Can Optimus Prime, and finally, just for giggles, a really cool pirate wench corset
Also, Just a random thought: If you allow a friend to address you as "Asshole", does that mean you forfeit any right to complain if anyone else in the whole world does too? 'Cuz that's the exact same logic that "But black people call each other 'nigger', so why can't I?" type idiots use.

The goddamned telemarketer who woke me up just when I was getting to sleep, claiming I owed them money, refused to provide a phone number or address, and then hung up when I requested that they send all correspondences via snail mail. I won't be able to get back to sleep now, I have to work all night, and go to class tomorrow. I hope he contracts something painful, lingering, and humiliating. :-P

... Is going to have the most motivated, hard-core crew EVER:
Ship built with WTC steel christened. The USS New York, an amphibious assault ship built with scrap steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center, was christened Saturday as a source of strength and inspiration for the nation.
Other news: This is both fucked-up as Hell, and perversely awesome: A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo is accused of waterboarding an employee in front of his sales team to demonstrate that they should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe.
This, on the other hand, is just fucked up: Judge jailed for refusing to sit in court with crucifix. An Italian judge was sentenced to a year in prison for refusing to sit in a courtroom with a crucifix on the wall, his lawyer said. Sad that stupidity like this should take place, but at least it's not happening _here_...
While I find the whole concept of "aristocracy" deeply abhorrent, even I have to admit that Prince Harry's one of the "good ones".
Random thoughts: I wonder how long it will be before the purveyers of the "Black Confederates" meme notice that Nazi Germany's military had a small number of ethnically "Jewish" soldiers in their ranks, and therefore conclude that the Nazi's weren't really anti-semitic?
Also, peoples should read Ctrl+Alt+Del, Divalicious, and Sketchies.
update I am a bad boyfriend, as I did not credit the wonderful and awesometastic ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nanimo for Ctrl+Alt+Del. Forgive, Mistress! Forgive! (sob)

This morning, while walking to the bus stop, I slipped and fell. I don't think I did any permanent damage, but I'm pretty sure that had I fallen only slightly harder, I would have broken my arm. I am equally sure that, even 5 years ago, my reflexes would have been good enough to recover before falling. Cursed aging! Now I see why so many otherwise virtuous Northerners forsake their homeland for the decadence of the South, for at least a few months a year. :-P

You know the old yarn about the careless woman who puts the baby in the oven and the turkey in the crib? Well, with the addition of alcohol, similar stupidity has actually come to pass. I particularly liked this part: Galbraith said Arnold told him: "If I hadn't gotten so drunk, I guess my baby wouldn't have died". Gee, ya think? Moron.

Man who keyed car gets day in court; so do Marines Jay Grodner, the Chicago lawyer who keyed a Marine's car in anger because the car had military plates and a Marine insignia, finally got his day in court last week.
Grodner pleaded guilty in a Chicago courtroom packed with former Marines. Some had Marine pins on their coats, or baseball jackets with the Marine insignia. They didn't yell or call him names. They came to support Marine Sgt. Michael McNulty, whose car Grodner defaced in December, but who couldn't attend because he's preparing for his second tour in Iraq.
Now, I mock and scorn Jarheads as much as the next Grunt, but it warms my soul that this weasel lawyer got a nice dose of public humiliation to go with his slap on the wrist. Still, this part of the article bugs me: Judge O'Malley has also traveled, but in his youth. He was a police officer on the West Side during the riots before law school. And before that, he performed another public service. Judge O'Malley served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1961-1964.
He probably should have recused himself. If the jackass vandal in question has gonads of greater than microscopic size, he could have plausibly claimed that the judge's past service made impartiality impossible. Still, some justice was done.

If the City of Madison would actually start enforcing the alternate-side parking rules downtown. Tow the offending cars, and then remove the fossilized snowdrifts that make so many spaces unusable. Grrr....

You know what would be funny? If one or more of the pro-torture politicians/Faux News talking heads/wingnut bloggers out there got themselves kidnapped and tortured "Interrogated in an enhanced manner" into confessing that they, personally, were not only Al Qa'ida operatives, but Blood-Drinking Satanists, Illuminati spies, and Reptoids. The recorded bogus confessions could then be posted on youtube, and/or broadcast on national TV. Understand that I'm not actually _suggesting_ that anyone do this. It would be horribly illegal, after all. But it would also be freakin' HILARIOUS, and it just might serve to convince a few of the obsessive "24" viewers out there that torture is not, in fact, a reliable source of intelligence. Of course, the rest will immediately start blathering about "Scalo-Fascists".

That a "snow"drift that one would easily drive through/over if it were, in fact, still snow, can trap your car for a good half hour if it has melted and refrozen into semi-solid ice. Furthermore, it will prove virtually immune to the plastic snow shovel that all civilized human beings northerners carry in their trunk. Had I thought to start whacking away with the tire-iron earlier, the quagmire would have been considerably shorter in duration. Luckily, one of my TAs and a random stranger happened along to help. Still, very annoying.

Because I do. I really, really do. When I am Evil Dictator, there will be two days in which it is allowed, those being Christmas Eve and Christmas day itself. Any other day, merely humming M*&%^#$(*&ing "Frosty the Snowman" will be a one way ticket to the Grinchification camps. :-P

Fox News' attack on the honor and integrity of our war generals... And the text of the article -- by Fox News Contributor and frequent O'Reilly guest David Hunt -- is even more Despicable, as it repeatedly attacks the honor and integrity of members of the United States Armed Forces in one smearing paragraph after the next, beginning with this first sentence:
Our generals are betraying our soldiers . . . again.
Quiet, crickets, how can I hear the thunderous sound of outrage with you chirping like that?

That was a trick question. The real answer is "All of the above, and much, much more". It's probably a good thing that he dodged the draft; Otherwise, his spinelessness would have gotten people killed directly when he inevitably panicked under fire. Fucking weasel.

... Then will someone remind me when the last time was that a _pro-war_ demonstrator got physically assaulted by his counterparts? Oh, wait, though, all those guys on Little Green Fascists and the like who claim that their "Dubya" bumper stickers got ripped off their hummers, why, that's at _least_ as bad as this. Silly me. Once again my opinion that the standard 'Liberal' position on gun control is stupid is re-enforced, because their may come a time when the right to Keep and Bear arms is all that stands between us "America-hating traitors" and the death camps that these wanna-be brownshirts would love to set up.
