File Under: Still sleepy

Well, it is now 2 days since we finished up at the fairgrounds and closed COMBF. I unfortunately have yet to get a real chance to catch up on sleep. I am currently getting an oil change and an inspection sticker. I just hope that once I get my business and personal stuff caught up, I can find some time for napage.

File Under: We don't want any real economic pinch for Iran

This piece about an Obama bill that is being blocked in committee just ticks me off. I understand that we need the support of the European's to help wrangle Iran, but if we as investors could make a choice about where we invest our money and divest it from Iran, I have to believe that would cause change faster then empty threats from the international community. In the end, money talks, yada yada.

File Under: Come out of the closet you gay bashing hyporcrites

Yet another Republican has fallen in the public eye after having his dirty little secret exposed. Idaho's Sen. Larry Craig was arrested in June for some undisclosed misconduct in a men's room at an airport in Minnesota. This kind of behavior just reinforces my belief that the homophobes in the far right are all just pissed because they are uncomfortable in their closet.

Another note of interest, it didn't take Romney long to distance himself from Craig and turn it into mud to sling at Hillary.

File Under: Taco Bell is no place to play hide the taquito

An amusing little story that tells us the tale of a young couple who apparently got so excited by weed and tacos that they just had to fornicate in their van in the parking lot. I really can't make this stuff up. I bet the cops were quite the buzz kill.

File Under: Net Neutrality

An Information Week piece on FCC Commissioner Micheal Copp's connecting AT&T's censorship of Pearl Jam to net neutrality. It's nice to actually have an official that understands the problem.

File Under: CMP Poll, Harry rocks

The results are in, 100% of respondents said that the last Harry Potter book was "freakin awesome."

Don't you love the way I make is sound like a huge poll?

File Under: Why the Christian Right is neither

This speech by Dr. Robin Meyers is almost 3 years old, but still gets to the point of immoral men hiding behind the moniker of "Christian."

File Under: Rats with life Personal Floation Devices

Karl Rove is leaving at the end of the month. Just one more rat off the ship? More like the surly giant rat who convinces the Captain to steer the ship onto the rocks. In my opinion, he's leaving because there is nothing left to screw over. "Mission Completed" on serving the interests of their corporate pals.

File Under: Cheney v. Cheney on invading Iraq

The only thing I can think of is that this video was taken before they replaced him with the robot.

File Under: Canada has a Prime Minister, EH!

Apparently Barack Obama made a little boo-boo there eh. He said Canada had a president, eh. What a hoser.

File Under: Ruling actually in Consumer's interest

A recent FCC ruling requires equity in roaming fees charged by larger wireless companies to smaller competitors. I am sure those large corps will find another way to screw us though.

File Under: More WoW to come

As many of you know, the boys and girls at Bliz have announced another expansion to World of Warcraft. I am posting a couple links for those of you who may have been fighting deep in the Ogre Mound of STV, and not heard the news. First a link to a shake down of the premise and some key features, then some conceptual art. If I ever get time to play again, I may get really excited about this.

File Under: Just the Beginning

A Rueters Canada piece about the overturned $1.5 billion ruling against Microsoft, makes me believe that we are at the dawn of a dark age of intellectual property (IP) based litigation amongst tech firms. The lawyers must be salivating, because if a ruling like that ever stands up in appeal, there is a crap load of money to be made. Lucky for Microsoft, that a judge saw things their way.

I am not implying anything, I don't know the exact particulars, but still not having to shell out $1.5 billion should make Microsoft very happy. I wonder if they could have paid that out in unsold Zunes?

File Under: Skank Poll Results

The results are in 50% of CMP readers believe that Britney Spears is the stupidest skank, with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan each taking 25%. Ashlee Simpson is apparently either not a skank or not that stupid.
