Mmm, Voting
The eyes of an overweight electorate are on California, as Taco Bell continues its Recall Election Taco Poll. In this promotion, the purchase of a beef taco registers as a vote for Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger (Jingle All … Continue reading

Maybe a New Category Might Help Me Make Sense of It
I’m still speechless over this. CNN has a story about the Nigerian woman who may be buried up to her neck and stoned because she gave birth out of wedlock. The story is unbelievable enough but then the … Continue reading

Thou Shalt Give it a Rest

First We Take Away Their Internet, Then We Go After Their A.C.
At 4:23, August 14 2003, Sky Net became self-aware. It was blamed on an overload in New York, a lightning hit at Niagara Falls, and the MS Blast virus. But the cascade of power failures today really … Continue reading
Fairly Blatant1
Being naught but an outside observer, I always enjoy when giant corporations make asses of themselves. They do it on such a grand scale. Thus I am taking perverse pleasure in watching Fox News’s (or Faux News, and … Continue reading
