Big Brother Wins Again

As if FISA/Patriot Act and Telecom Immunity weren’t bad enough…
This holy mess rolled across my vision this morning.
It looks like Google just pissed away the privacy of MILLIONS of it’s users. And what does that mean for those folks who are recorded as viewing Viacom’s unlawfully rendered materials? Are we going to get a bill [...]

Portland Says: Plug It In

So, I was surprised to drum up this fancy piece of information this afternoon will scanning through my RSS Feeds. I suppose that’s one thing that I’ve always loved about Portland, the city’s ability to look towards the future. And/or copy California/Seattle.

I’m not unaware of the fact that what PGE REALLY wants…is to [...]

Any News is Bad News

You’ll have to pardon me - my level of tolerance and wit is WAY WAY down as I face the many curve-balls life has been throwing lately. My bank account balance being the most amusing one I can think of off the top of my head.
Perhaps it is a symptom of being too well-informed, but [...]

35-Count Bush Impeachment Resolution

**UPDATE: If you are interested, you can find all 35 articles here.
I’ve made a special point to write a letter of support to Dennis Kucinich, as well as the Congresspersons and Senators of my state urging them to support this effort.
You can do that here - but you’ll have to lie a little about your [...]

Elk’s Run

The latest comic book/graphic novel I perused from the shelves of my local library branch - “Elk’s Run” is penned by Joshua Hale Fialkov, with art by Noel Tuazon and colors by Scott A. Keating.

The tale follows a group of Vietnam Vets who build their own safe haven from the rest of the world and [...]

Flip Floppin’ with the Flag

You know it’s a slow news day when TIME Magazine devotes an entire article to whether or not Obama is wearing a flag pin on the lapel of his suit. I kid you not.
What’s next - how often the dude changes his underwear (and what that says about his patriotism)? Seriously - this is all [...]

Stop Whining

The Governator gives the automotive industry a one-two punch in the gut and tells those bitches, “Hey - Stop Whining!”

Just like in Kindergarten Cop.
What was most intriguing to me about this article, was the fact that there are actually proposed federal fuel efficiency regulations for 2015 and 2020 - pretty exciting stuff.
Not surprising - the [...]

Operation Chaos

This is why I refuse to even consider being a Republican. I was actually tempted to vote for a few Repub platforms I really enjoyed during the state elections this Spring…but shenanigans like this make me bitter and hostile towards any Republican candidate I might have considered.
Rush Limbaugh urges Republicans to “switch sides” and vote [...]

The Bush-McCain Challenge

Now don’t these two crazy characters look super cozy together? I just wanna tweak their cheeks.

But seriously - I highly suggest taking The Bush-McCain Challenge - it’s an online quiz to see if you can tell the difference between George W. Bush and John McCain.

It’s an amusing bit of informational time wasting crafted by the [...]

Get Outta The Road

I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically through this entire article, and then reading it again the next day, chuckling glee-fully to myself the entire time.

I am one of those drivers who must contend with an insane amount of pedestrian traffic - pedestrians who will cut across five lanes a traffic on a busy street to [...]
