Wow. What a day - 06 October 2007
Oct. 7th, 2007 12:04 amFirst, because they deserve top billing - Stanford 24, USC 23. Ah-hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha! My own padded rugby squad was victorious as well, but the game was much closer than it should have been. Me? I did some shopping and watched the movie called Zeitgeist. It’s two hours linking how religion, state-induced terror (including the assertion that the 11 September attacks were the federal government’s doing) and the federal reserve/central bank system are all being used to drive toward a One World Government scenario ruled by the oligarch investment bankers, with perpetual wars and plenty of mindless diversions to ensure that the masses do not find the truth.
Two recalls of note - plastic in Campbell's Chunky Baked Potato soup and salmonella in Kraft white chocolate baking squares.
Geneon USA is looking for options on how to continue distribution of their titles - somethign we hope they find, as there are a lot of good titles in Geneon’s lineup.
The Floodgate Rule is in effect again regarding Blackwater USA, as an employee who drunkenly shot one of the bodyguards for the Iraqi vice president was quickly returned to work for a Department of Defense contractor. It also appears in that the male escort responsible for Ted Haggard's downfall says that Larry Craig visited him as well. [sing]It’s a small world, after all[/sing]...
The “Voids the Warranty” award for tonight goes to someone attempting to get ecstasy past customs by shoving it up Mr. Potato Head's butt. First bugs running crack, now Potato Head’s on X. And then there’s the guy who took revenge on an ostrich that pummeled him by shooting it, and received a 5 month sentence for it.
Right before we hit the big ones for tonight, Michelle Malkin wants us to know more about Code Pink’s efforts to close a recruiting station in the Bay Area of California. The confrontational style and allegations slung about by this chapter of Code Pink is potentially different than the D.C. incident before, but to each their own opinion and methods for accomplishing them. I still have issues with how expressing an opinion that military personnel are engaged in something that they shouldn’t be accounts for questioning of patriotism, but I never claim to understand people. In much the same way, I remind my audience, I don’t claim to report on them accurately, either. To balance one act out toward the fringe with another in the opposite direction, it’s always nice to know that you’re part of a vast conspiracy that you weren’t aware of. According to a letter to the editor, the left is constantly undermining the administration and has a propaganda machine called the mainstream media. Well, the first part’s right, but the administration needs it, and I think both sides will firmly say that the mainstream media is entrenched in the Other Guy’s camp. But if you have hankerings to be more than just a Magnet Patriot, then perhaps you can attend that rally and see whether or not the person there is cut of the same cloth as Senator Obama, or whether he’s a Coulter wanna-be.
The Quiche of Shame has once again been baked. Vying for the honors, but receiving the Kingdok award for incompetence in leadership instead is Richard Roberts, president of Oral Roberts university, embroiled in a scandal involving his spending of school-raised money on himself and his family. The winner for tonight, however, goes collectively to the "conservative" wing of politics that finds a lack of insurance, or the presence of hardships, amusing and those who have them worthy of ridicule. Liberal Eagle agrees, and says that the powerful using satire and mockery against the powerless is profoundly not funny. For laughing at the plight of others, rather than assisting them, the Quiche of Shame is yours, you stupid, stupid rat creatures.
Refreshingly, J. Brent Walker understands what role religion could safely play in politics - as a shortcut to what sort of policies and positions could be reasonably expected from a candidate, but subjugated to the requirement to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the country, not to attempt to make the laws and Constitution fit one’s prejudices. Besides, there are fairly large scientific holes in the account of Noah's Great Flood, and that’s near the beginning of the Torah. Kind of makes for problems with the rest of the book as a literal account, I’d say. Something in religious news that I can cheer for is that Catholics have finally developed the equivalent to the prayer wheel - an electronic rosary. Push a button to hear a voice say the appropriate prayers. It’s still not quite as user-friendly as spinning the prayer wheel, nor do you quite get as much karma per revolution, but it’s a start.
There may finally have been a purpose discovered for the appendix - it may be a cultivation point of helpful digestive bacteria. Eventually, we’ll figure it out, I’m sure. What’s definitely the case is that the FDA wants to have pharmacists giving more prescription medicines, without a consultation with the doctor beforehand. Certainly cuts out a potential office visit, but unless the pharmacist wants to have that sort of thing put in their hands, I’d say leave it alone. Of course, not to the point where people give their husbands sherry enemas, of course, but we never know to what extremes people will take things.
Cranking Widgets offers twelve tips to spice up your weekend, most of them guaranteed to get you strange looks, but that will probably brighten your weekend. And are likely for less dangerous than your iPod nano setting your pants on fire. To close out tonight, however, match Lovecraft with Sendak and produce Where The Great Old Ones Are. Yes, there are going to be a lot of librarian jokes added on here. This one is especially good, being a children’s librarian joke.
So, for Monday, things to do equals emissions testing, potential emissions fixing, obtaining front mounting zone for license plate, registration of vehicle (assuming that emissions test passes, if fails, retest emissions, attempt registration after pass), possible setting up of doctor and dentist appointments for cleaning and for physical. If I can get all of that done on Monday, it will have been a damn productive day. For now, however, sleep, so that I may do as the great people do and wake up before I have to go to work.
