Seriously, Do You Support Anything?

Republicans are beginning to remind me of Eeyore. But less cute. Seriously. Are they capable of seeing the good side in anything!? Republicans are (yet again) warning against consumer protection. This time their focus is on the Consumer Federal Protection Agency, or CFPA, an organization that does not even yet exist. The goal of the CFPA [...]

I’m Done With Verizon

For a long time I have avoided discussing this issue publicly. While I am certainly just one voice, I wanted to give Verizon Wireless the chance to do right by me without my having to tell the world my experiences. They have opted to do the wrong thing and now let me tell you all [...]

504 Days Until Rapture?

See now, people like this guy are why it is so easy for Atheists to dismiss my faith. Harold Camping, a Biblical “scholar” (and I use that term very loosely) who also runs an evangelical radio station (Family Radio) has predicted that the day of rapture will come on May 21, 2011. Camping, who is an [...]

Bad Girl, No Cookies

I have been negligent, my dears! How could I have not shared my very favorite site with you all? Being men (wow…you are all men, aren’t you?) of the interwebs, I am sure you have already seen this site – but alas I will share regardless. People of Walmart. The individual that thought up this genius of [...]

Protests in Iran Continue

January 2, 2010

1

Iran is angry. Iran has been angry for a long time but it really lit a spark last year during their elections. You see, a reform candidate was actually allowed to run in the 2009 elections. And all polls said he was going to win by a landslide. Election day came and Iranians turned out [...]

They Tell Me I’m Stressed

I don’t feel stressed. I feel content. I’m not sad, or upset. I have a job, a full time job at that. My boss is no longer a lunatic. I have good friends who love me. I have shelter that is comfortable and adequate. I am healthy. While I am by no means well off, [...]

The year will officially come to an end quite shortly now and it is only fitting that we look back on this year and review what happened, how, and why. Let’s be honest, this year was full of ups and even more downs. So, without further adieu, here is 2009 in Review: Deaths: In 2009, we lost [...]

A Second Attempt?

December 27, 2009

Update:The plane has landed safely and the man was arrested by local police. It does not say if he had explosives of any kind on his person or if any were found aboard the plane. I have a hard time believing this was a coincidence. What the hell is going on? As of now the reports are [...]

How Did This Happen?

December 27, 2009

Alright. Now I’m pissed. I’m going to tell you all a short story. My mother used to fly for her boss. She would fly across the country, do some menial task, and fly home. This usually involved hand delivering documents, attending some sales pitch to take notes, or (occasionally) making some sales pitch. She loved that [...]
