Most guys knows that the most comfortable bed in the house isn’t even a bed. It’s the couch. Naps are more effective. When I can’t sleep at night, I head off the the couch to get some Zs. That’s one … Continue reading →

Many of my readers know the drill by now. Criminals buy a bunch of some random penny stock. They send out spam email to hundred of millions of people, touting the stock. Almost all those people are just annoyed, but … Continue reading →

Sorry about that. Big thanks to Jabley for generously donating enough bandwidth to get me to 2007! Happy Holidays everyone!

I love thinking about good pranks. I never do any of them, but I like making them up, and I talk a good game. Anyhow, here’s one for ya — the auto-replace feature in Microsoft Word. It’s just begging to … Continue reading →

Last weekend, I was about 20 feet from the Guvanator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was odd… he isn’t a very big man anymore, and as the photo below shows, his glory days are way way behind him. But he still projects … Continue reading →

This notice was taped up on various signs throughout the neighborhood. Just a thought, maybe you should tell someone how to get in touch with you? You know, to actually get the dog? As is, this is just an enormous … Continue reading →

Now here is a hacker through and through. The Connecticutt for Leiberman party has only one member. It’s not Joe Lieberman. In fact, he doesn’t even like Joe Lieberman. But I like him! The Gettysburg Address PowerPoint presentation Many intersting … Continue reading →

If you read Thomas Friedman’s the World is flat, you must read this scathing review. Although I liked the book overall, there are a lot of great points landed here.

I don’t get college sports fans. This is a follow-up from the Almighty Sports Guy about people who are fanatics about the sports programs of colleges they didn’t even go to. Q: I read your article about rooting for a … Continue reading →

I usually like Matt Bai’s work. And there is a lot to like in this story. But a large part of it is that Bush’s extremism finally caught up with him, and that voters are pretty bright after all. Hogwash. … Continue reading →

Drew Bledsoe’s blog. This is drop-dead hilarious for NFL fans. Don’t Vote.org – See if you are educated enough to vote. (I got 96%, missed the new UN President) This Cognitive Science graduate student used his mad brain knowledge to … Continue reading →

It’s fashionable these days to rag on Studio 60. It’s still on our TiVo list, we still watch it every week. But every week, more and more about this show annoys me. Many others have ripped it apart better than … Continue reading →

We got the House and probably the Senate. Ah, the world looks different. And for the kicker, Rumsfeld resigned. Yippee! Random election thoughts: * I shook the ’04 curse. Although to be fair, I was mildly buzzed at most. Maintain … Continue reading →

Yes Jabley, I intend to get drunk before checking results. I’m gonna shake that ’04 curse!

Dennis Leary and Lenny Clarke’s hilarious guest-broadcasting at the Red Sox game. Lots of great ethnic humor, and see how far Mel Gibson’s stock has fallen. Watch a woman being animated from the inside out (I reccomend the 4x button) … Continue reading →

This essay was written by his brother. Very angry and touching at the same time.

Charles Murray (the man who helped to bring you The Bell Curve and similar discredited attempts at science) brings you some more foolishness today in The New York Times editorial page. His column regards the recent law that tries to … Continue reading →

Today is October 15th. Tonight, while having dinner at a restaurant, they played Christmas music. On October 15th. To make it worse, we were eating at a Chinese buffet! Somehow I don’t think the owners religious beliefs were influencing the … Continue reading →

Whenever there is a holiday, there is no garbage pickup. But we never actually miss a day. One of our pickup days is Tuesday (yes, one of our pickup days. I like DeKalb county). If the holiday is Monday, pickup … Continue reading →

Just read it. Note that guilt and innocence is irrelevant here. We got rid of habeus corpus, so there’s no reason to bother finding out.
