I hope this kind of crap goes away like the feminism attack on the language back in the 80's when we no longer could say “business man “. Went to Kenzie's xmas concert at her school and yes they sang “We wish you a happy holidays“. Lovely... that's teaching our kids to learn how...

I think I need to add a Religion category to this blog. I seem to be blogging on it a lot lately. But 'Lusions is such a good meta category for it. I picked this up off of slashdot today: "The New York Times is reporting that a number of Imax theatres are passing on science-themed films that might provoke...

So does anyone know who the next Pope will be? Anyone want to put up odds on when the pope will finally release his mortal coil? I put it at the end of this year, around xmas time, should boost Catholicism somewhat in the world. He's a good pope and will die at a profitable time. Latest news from the...

You know I'm all for letting a country decide it's own future. In the case of Iran wanting to pursue nuclear energy I say leave them alone. The rest of the world is of course worried since Iran isn't .. well they don't really have a good record as being a country of nice people. So my question is this...

Looks like the state of Ohio is going to force people who sell on ebay regularly to fork over license fees in order to auction. Well I guess somebody has to finance all the pork barrel projects in that state such as those useless highway signs informing drivers that there is traffic up ahead while they...

I watched Dateline over the weekend and they reported on this televangilist preacher named Benny Hinn . It's the same tape, just rewound and played again. He claims to have healing powers, begs for money for his ministry, pockets all of it himself, blah blah blah. The most amazing thing is people still...

PBS will be airing what is being billed as an important documentary on the Iraq war seen through a group of US soldiers. It's a Frontline show, whose journalism I find to be well done. Anyway since this is a real life, gritty realization of the kind of shit our soldiers go through to police the cities...

Ok I found this article on CNN about Fox installing tiny eraserhead sized cameras on the football field in time for the superbowl this Sunday. Similar to the “Diamond Cam“ they had during the baseball playoffs. Please tell me who wants to see an ant's viewpoint of homeplate? Much less the 20 yard line...

I'll start out on a good note. Merry Christmas to the handful of people who like to read this blog. It's been a fun year ranting and everyone putting up with it, especially you Chris :) I hope you all get laid a lot this Christmas and have a great 2005! <rant> Here we go. I am so sick and tired...

Here's something that came floating into my brain last night while watching the Catholic channel. I sometimes get a kick out of watching propaganda, let's leave it at that ok ;-) It seems the Virgin Mary always makes her appearances in grottos. Now a grotto is pretty much a garbage dump, place of refuse...

So I've been reading this book Hominids by Robert Sawyer . As usual he's put together a good story. About a parallel universe in which the Neandertals became the dominant Homo species instead of us. So one them gets transported over to our universe with a wave of the scifi author's magic wand and so...

Well this blog entry is to just make it to 12 posts for the month of September. A new record! Chris has been having issues with our method of electing political leaders in this country for a few months now. Chris is a really fart smeller.. err .. highly intelligent person and I guess it's hard watching...

Got an email from Lou with a link to Adam Curry's (of MTV) blog . Adam's been listening to Michael Crichton's book Timeline audio book and thought this rant from the book was quite telling of our current society. I thought so too so I've copied it here without copyright permission for everyone to read...

News story Norm: Say Martha did you feel a bump in the road? Martha: Why yes I did, I just figured it was some old roadkill. Norm: Mmm.. ok. Say did the minivan's microwave oven finish popping my corn yet? Martha: Why yes it did.. sorry I was too busy watching my movie on the dvd player.
