Little Jonny Comes Home

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

After a remarkably quick and uneventful recovery Jonny (Mr. Onesock to you) has come home. He was quite a trooper about the whole thing and didn’t complain much considering that last Tuesday his guts were getting some fresh air. I can guarantee that they were cause I’ve got pictures. I’m not lying [...]

George Takei

Friday, October 28th, 2005

George Takei, better known as “Sulu” from Star Trek, announced that he is gay.
I suppose I should put on the same mock shock face that I did when Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen Degeneres announced their homosexuality.
Am I supposed to be surprised by these little announcements? Was I supposed to act shocked when [...]

The Davis-Bacon Act

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Is it a coincidence that the White House reverses its stance on the Davis-Bacon Act suspension as soon as Florida needs some rebuilding done?
I guess they don’t mind some profiteering as long as it isn’t done in brother Jeb’s state.

Jonny And The Evil Cyst

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

There once was a small boy named Jonny and he had an evil cyst. Blah happened and now the cyst is gone.

Dingo

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Via Kung Fu Monkey, I have really been enjoying following the online novel, Dingo. You should go check it out.
He posts a chapter a week and is currently on chapter 7. It is good enough that I have been getting antsy about the new chapters coming out. Check it out.

Why I Hate Home Depot

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Seeing that it is 5 am and I’m wide awake (unlike the youngun that woke me), I will tell you the story of why I hate Home Depot. It is a long and sordid affair and I hope it doesn’t scare too many readers.
I used to live in a dump. That is the [...]

Political Catch-up

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

I haven’t written much in the way of political statements lately as I, quite frankly, have had much more important things going on. There are a few points that I would like to make, however.
First, having Tom DeLay booked on charges makes me happy. Happy happy happy. And I thought justice was [...]
