… for, and get elected as, President… legally… as in… fuckin’ born here…
Welcome back Brett Favre! Here’s to an added season where hopefully you’ll sustain a paralyzing injury! * fingers crossed *
Dick Cheney bathes in the blood of the young
Moral dilemma. Is it bad to wish, really, really hard, that someone would die? No, I didn’t think so either. Cheney is once again telling death to “go fuck yourself,” according to the news.
“Doctors did not replace wires that are attached to the device and are threaded through Cheney’s heart.”
The dude is totally a fucking cyborg. No wonder they portray Li’l Cheney’s dad as Darth Vader.
Earlier today, Malcolm Reynolds, captain of Firefly class ship, Serenity, reported that some character from South Park was hanged.
And then she just totally whips it out
Poor Zune. Anyone who’s read this blog knows I’m of the Apple persuasion, but I can’t help but feel a little sorry for Micro$oft’s Zune music player (despite it’s hideous ‘brick’ aesthetics). During Andrew Ross Sorkin’s review on CNN, the O’Brienseses kept asking some questions that seemed a little too iPod-fanboyish to be coming from their teleprompter mouths. It almost seemed like they were coached on how to diss the Zune.
Male O’Brien asked, despite other wi-fi capabilities, if the Zune can download songs from a network server – a common gripe mentioned on the internet (does he surf Digg??). Sorkin did mention the sharing ability but didn’t say Microsoft could easily add network downloads in the future. Sometimes reviewers point out that some features could be added later on. But here, no such optimism.
And then iSoledad O’iBrien said, “It can send email, right? No?” WTF? Of course not, what music player does? Where did she get that question? It was almost like she wanted to ask a question to elicit a “no, it can’t” response. There were a lot of “oh, it can’t?” “oh, it doesn’t?” “oh, it does?” responses. But then, Sol.Diddy, with a shit-eating grin, has the temerity to pull out a competing product (her(?) iPod shuffle) and hold it up to the camera and clip it to her jacket. That’s like being invited to a barbecue and then while you’re there, you whip out a better barbecue (I don’t know anything about barbecues). But it’s just rude.
I know this is just a gadget, and a light review segment, but dang, that Zune had a hamburger’s chance in Soledad’s field of vision, and it seemed like they were bias from the git-go.
Said Dave Lesar, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Halliburton, “For the full year 2005, we set a record for revenue and achieved net income of $2.4 billion with each of our six divisions posting record results. This accomplishment came from the hard work and determination of our 100,000 employees. The year 2005 was the best in our 86-year history,* and both ESG and KBR are well positioned for strong performance into 2006.”
Aww, isn’t that cute. Cheney’s little one is all grown up now. Makes me proud, and seems to justify the abduction of wives in Iraq**.

Good lord. Isn’t life hard enough, what with our government scaring the bejezzus out of us so the president can stay in power? Now there’s a new (real) scare going around for Windows users.
