That Popping Sound You Just Heard

That was the sound of envi­ron­men­tal­ists’ heads explod­ing all over the world because accord­ing to this arti­cle at the Tele­graph, recy­cling might actu­ally be con­tribut­ing to green­house gases instead of reduc­ing them. Heh. The inter­nal con­flict must be hor­ri­bly dehi­bil­i­tat­ing. On an unre­lated note yet still in the same arti­cle, we get this graf: Some town …

Cognitive Dissonance

By now, I would imag­ine that most peo­ple around the coun­try who are tuned into news at all have heard about the 100–0 butt kick­ing that the Covenant School of Dal­las’ girls bas­ket­ball team put on Dal­las Acad­emy last week. Now, Covenant fired their coach over the affair which I find to be the most …

Goodbye Illusion Of Free Will, I Hardly Knew Ye

Hey poor peo­ple of LA, you’re get­ting too fat eat­ing the only damn food you can afford so us lib­eral elites of LA will start telling you what you can fuck­ing eat. Oh and we’re gonna ban plas­tic bags too, just because we can. This stuff makes me angry. Let’s see, which is worse, allow­ing peo­ple …

Puppet Sex Is Awesome

What more do you need to know? If you have time this week­end, go see Avenue Q at the Bass Hall in Fort Worth. It’s hilar­i­ous. And there’s pup­pet sex. And a song about inter­net porn. Highly recommended.

Signs of the Apocalypse

At my pre­vi­ous job, one of my co-workers was kind of a con­spir­acy the­o­rist ala Dale from King of the Hill. He was sure the black heli­copters would be sweep­ing in over the hori­zon any day and he was always ready to repel them for as long as he could. Now, I’m all about self-sufficiency …

The Simpsons

Today marks the 19th anniver­sary of the debut of The Simp­sons, a show that has in many ways become part of the cul­tural land­scape. I’m not a Simp­sons fanatic, being able to quote mul­ti­ple episodes at appro­pri­ate times dur­ing the day (I’m a geek, not a nerd) but I’ve always enjoyed the Simp­sons and their …

Mommy, Santa’s Being Rude

Are there really women out there that when con­fronted with a Santa hap­pily say­ing “Ho, ho, ho”, they would think he was talk­ing about them? Unlikely. And if so, they have far more issues start­ing with their self-esteem. More likely, the PC police are expand­ing their beat in an attempt to keep any­one from being …
