Japanese Dinner, The Aftermath

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

At a birthday dinner for a friend last night I was told I was neglecting my duties here by not posting up some things I thought had already received wide internet play. Normally if things are turning up on a bunch of sites I skip posting it, but I was reminded that that are some [...]

Change Congress

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

I have strong feelings that the government of the United States is being corrupted at a very basic level. The organization Change Congress has recently been formed to try to fight this.

Summer of Fear: The Stingray Makes A Bid for 2008

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

After killing Steve Irwin in 2006 the Stingray apparently liked its moment in the killer animal spotlight and struck today killing a woman in Florida. Apparently it didn’t use its stinger, it just knocked the woman over and she hit her head on the boat. The woman’s death is an unfortunate tragedy, but I have [...]

Hold The Bastard Accountable

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Ok, I do have some sympathy for the descendants of Admiral Byng, but not much really. They have put a petition to Parliment to ‘restore his honor’, but not pardon him. They say It has been a long time … but if we were moved by the families of World War One, which was a [...]
