For some reason I find the picture with this article hilarious.
In other news, hell has frozen over, because I sort of agree with that article. A la carte cable is a good idea. Granted, having Congress force cable companies into offering it doesn’t seem like the best idea.

I got Always Ready: Directions for Defending the Faith from a relative today. It doesn’t seem like it’s aimed at people like me, but it’s better than the “the Bible is infallible because the Bible says so” junk I’ve been getting from her. It has a section on “the nature of unbelief” or something along […]

I just have a quick thought on this. The ESRB re-rated San Andreas because it had an inaccessible sex mini-game. Now, the issue seemed at the beginning to be whether the sexually explicit content was created by the modders or the developers of the game. Rockstar was claiming the content was created by the modders. […]

TNR has a generally correct piece on last night’s Daily Show with Rick Santorum. John Cole also rightly points out that Stewart’s poor interview is hardly that important, but it is a bit disappointing.
Stewart has had some good, pointed interviews. During the campaign when he had on some Republican working for Bush’s campaign and […]

The “Spanish-American War tax,” as seen in Mallard Fillmore on Sunday, has little to do with funding the Spanish-American war, considering it was repealed in 1902. It was later reinstated to fund WWI, then repealed, then reinstated in 1932 and has apparently been around since then. Appealing to its Spanish-American War legacy to rally support […]

So, Bush announced yesterday that John Roberts is his Supreme Court nominee. All in all, it could be a lot worse. He made Jeffrey Rosen’s list of “Principled Conservatives” in an article for TNR last December. NARAL’s hysteria doesn’t really seem warranted, considering most of the basis for calling him anti-choice is based on him […]

There appears to be a dearth of good semi drivers in Spokane. The truck was more than eight hours late this morning at the grocery store I work at. So, I got up at 3 am and got off at 5 pm. I didn’t work straight through, but I’m still tired, so there won’t be […]

That way, instead of doing something productive, I can edit Wikipedia entries about me so I don’t look like an idiot. Or have people do it for me. I hope I would be important enough to make that happen.
