Political correctness
a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Tiger Woods, Apology Accepted

Another meaningless Facebook poll: After Tiger Woods’ apology, do you forgive him?

I have two questions regarding this. One, why does Tiger Woods owe me an apology? Second, does he really need my forgiveness?

Tiger Woods has done nothing to cause me harm, grief or offense. Yeah, he was unfaithful to his wife and slept around with [...]

BARF Therapy

Pay no attention to that man in the dark little room at the end of the house. He’s just doing what he finds necessary to keep his sanity. He is, to borrow a phrase from the late Douglas Adams, mostly harmless.

Repression in a recession

This is just a casual observation but have you ever noticed that in times of austerity and recession, governments tend to become more repressive, focusing already limited and stretched resources on matters that really don’t matter at all? This seems especially true of state and local governments. Again, just an observation, for what it’s worth.

June Twitter Randomness

watched Tosh.0 on Comedy Central and found it quite lame. Comedy Central doesn’t “get” comedy. Go figure.

National Commando Day

The first ever National Commando Day is July 31, 2009. The idea behind the day is to support prostate cancer awareness.

National Commando Day is when people will practice being unbound by their underwear together. A new level of freedom and unity will emerge knowing that others have also decided to free themselves.

Prostate cancer is a [...]
