As one of four people in the world who like Kriss Kross (or, at least don't dislike their music at all) as well as Slayer, I feel that I should point out that Slayer's seminal third album, Reign in Blood, was released on the Def Jam label after… Read full post »

Not really a case - half a sixer at best...

These are the Top 3 greatest opening scenes from otherwise horrible movies

3.  Star Wars - The Phantom Menace

The rest of this movie was an ungodly piece of shit, but this first scene showed every Star Wars fan in… Read full post »

 

Today, I had my civil rights violated by The US Federal Marshals.

 

After I woke up, I walked the dog, took a shower, and then headed out to Puyallup to pick up the remaining railroad ties I had paid to have cut so that I… Read full post »

I was listening to a lot of Christmas music this year, and this song, that I hadn't listened to in years, struck a chord with me, so to speak, for the first time in my life.

I like to give hippies a hard time, if only because of… Read full post »

I understand that the goodwill of the Salon.com name still carries some weight, so I offer you… Read full post »

Here's the problem - writing is selfish.  In engaging in this activity, you are saying, "Hey!  Listen to me.  My ideas are more important than yours are, my creativity more profound, my prose more beautiful and poignant."

If you write for a community, go join a… Read full post »

Dear Ignorant Christians and Ignorant Non-Christians,

Since we're getting close to a time when talk of the end of days will be dominating our existence, I thought you would both like to know that Armageddon is not an event, but a place at which an event has been… Read full post »

 

 

I used to be a little bit down on this site, probably due to the fact that I've been booted from it, for no good reason, more… Read full post »

Dear Washington State Stoners,

Please remember that despite any statewide vote that did or did not pass, cannabis (in all its forms) will remain ILLEGAL on December 6th, 2012. Ya see, there's this pesky clause in The US Constitution called the Supremacy Clause which gives the federal… Read full post »

The day immediately following Hurricane Katrina, gas prices soared $.40 a gallon in many places, finally putting gasoline above the $3 mark, largely to stay.

And then along comes Sandy, and gas prices are falling immediately following this massive storm's destruction of the East Coast.

 

 

As it turns out, I post a lot of crap, because most of what I enjoy is crap, but every now and again I have a half-decent idea and once I look into all the facets of said idea, it ends up being well-researched enough that those…

So, as it turns out, Bain Capital isn't nearly the Gordon Gekko-esque monster than it has been portrayed as.  Even when the goal of the Equity Fund was the "destruction" of jobs, it's likely that there was a net gain in jobs (of approximately 100, but still, a net gain) over… Read full post »

David Wong controls cracked.com, a site I frequent, but that he has seen it fit to kick me off of, and then libel me as justification for kicking me off.  When it's jokes, funny pictures and the like, I can usually sneak around for a while before my latest ID is… Read full post »

you've been with me for longer than I can remember
no matter the distance that separated us

I fucked up with my primary vote and support in 2008.  Before the Democratic Primary made its way to my state in the form of the Caucuses in which it arrives here, I was a Dennis Kucinich supporter, and a vocal one at that.  At the time,… Read full post »

Hillary Clinton unveiled a new aid package for our friends in the Syrian Rebellion, al Qaeda.  The package includes $30 million in humanitarian aid and $15 million in aid for "training and logistics".

 

So, just out of curiousity, who, exactly, in the State Departmant will be detained indef… Read full post »

Someone called me a Socialist because I stated that Estates should be taxed at 0% for the 1st $3 million, and 100% for every dollar thereafter (adjusted for inflation, and only after a spouse also passes, thus completely dissolving the community property relationship formed at marriage).… Read full post »
