They call it a troop shortage. I call it an organizational shortage. There are still plenty of healthy young Americans of the right age to be sent off to be maimed and killed in Iraq. Instead of extending the length of missions, why not rotate the troops? Give them a break from the horror, fatigue […]
There are some discussions I never wish to have again. “Do you know about hamsters and octopuses?” my wife asks as I roll over. “I know something about hamsters and I know something about octopi,” I answer. “but I don’t know anything about hamsters and octopi together. Other than that it’d be a bad idea […]
I’ve got a new book to read, so let’s end the night with the world’s worst poem! Courtesy of two minutes of hiding from the kids: I’m writing poetry now, pretentious contentious pap poetry tired old cliches of death and sex and love growing old and losing hope just some old fashioned poetry I’ll use […]
Sigh . . . Big Blue appears to be shooting for the title Big Perv these days, if my server logs are any indication. Sometime in the wee hours of Saturday, an IP address (170.224.224.156) belonging to Sequent Computer Systems, Incorporated started trying to hit my disabled mt-comments.cgi with a bunch of porn spam (at […]
I am going to ramble, so be warned. So, where were all of the pro-death folks when Staff Sgt. Johnny M. Horne Jr. decided that executing an injured Iraqi teen was the humane thing to do? Or are Iraqis not real people? Had he done that here in the states, he’d be labeled a murderer […]

I want the mpaa version. Related Images:
My ISP wouldn’t let me add the necessary perl modules to run the captcha plugin, so I’m switching to registered comments only (among other things). Funfun. So, get your free typekey account set up and speak up! Related Images:
Dammit! Okay, mt-comments.cgi is now officially offline and I cannot receive comments (thank you, the three legitimate commenters I’ve had on my site so far). Checking my access logs, it appears the spambastards (I suppose the abbreviation spamtards or spamturds works is easier to say and type) have flooded my moveable type comments script. Okay, […]
Here I sit naked in the “cheap seats” — $79/night. It is remote and the exterior leaves a lot to be desired (Siberian Prison-camp chic?), but the interior is not bad. For my $79/night, I get two queen beds, a desk, a heater, a functional television, a spacious bathroom, and a cramped closet. The heater […]
