I have mixed feelings on this, and wish Congress would address the issue. Short of that, I hope it goes to the Supreme Court for some checks and balance. On the one hand, I am […]
Does anyone else think that Janeane Garofalo, Nora Jones, and Marisa Tomei all sort of look alike? Nobody seems to see it but me.
Or is it just . . .
Madness?

Is he right? I sure wish some people would quit desiring my unhappiness.

Well, not really. His ruling Liberal Democratic Party (it’s not as bad as it sounds) won in a landslide, which is a big political voctory for the PM personally. Japan may privatize it’s Post Office (think: “major world bank”) after all! Such a jar to Far Eastern banking would likely inflate the […]
School raises money for Katrina victims by playing MMMBop until $3k in donations. Is this a sign of The End Times?
Madness. Oh yes, Madness!

Tomorrow, September 17th, is Citizenship Day in the United States. Be proud to be an American, tomorrow and always. Today is Constitution Day (observed).
Liberty!
It would seem, then, that honesty is overrated. People value it too much for its use. Dishonesty, however, it much to be feared. It destroys what it touches. People prefer to live in the cloudy communication between truth and lies. Yet, thinking this to be honest, they value honesty with […]
It’s as if Scott Adams had the same epiphany I did yesterday.
Madness!
Today, September 18, 2005, is the 58th birthday of the US Air Force.

Today, September 19th 2005, marks the ten year anniversary of the Unabomber Manifesto being run in the Washington Post and New York Times.
Remember when terrorism was so intellectual?
Madness!
PS: It’s also the 50th anniversary of the deposition of Juan Perón, who fled to Spain while the next cycle of despotic tyranny ran blood […]
