Think this is gonna work?

Posted on: Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 in: Serious Stuff...

A small clip of Fredrick Hayek’s writing in 1932, just around the time of the last big government sponsored efforts in financial stupidity.
“But, instead of furthering the inevitable liquidation of the maladjustments brought about by the boom during the last three years, all conceivable means have been used to prevent that readjustment from taking place; […]

Not all members of Congress are crooks

Posted on: Monday, September 29th, 2008 in: Serious Stuff...

In an apparent attempt to show America that not every member of Congress is there to steal from the productive and hard working Americans, and give to the lawyers and investment bankers, the House has defeated the financial bailout bill.
It’s not often that you will see your elected representatives pass up the opportunity to steal […]

Why I hate programmers

I have had, by sheer misfortune, the opportunity to manage a small software effort in the past. Of course, when a developer (I’ll never use the term “software engineer”) quits, the only thing that the replacement guy can do is start over from scratch.
I’ve always wondered why this is. When an engineer building a bridge […]

Ask Joe Biden

Posted on: Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 in: What's Up

Although I heard it on the radio this morning, I can’t seem to find the clip on the internet. Anyway, Ole Joe, historian extraordinaire, was telling use what a real president like FDR did on the eve of the last great financial crisis.
 ”When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t […]

Dailytech reports that we all should have known from the beginning; cell phones fry your sperm.  I particularly like the described scenario:
In the upcoming study, it was shown that when in close range to the testes and in talk mode, cell phones damage sperm.
You would think that this would be an easy situation to rectify. […]

Where have I seen this before?

Take a look here at our new president to be:

This all seems vaguely familiar. After a little diggin into youtube, I think that I have found the answer.

Rumor has it that Barack picked Joe Biden after he found out that the heaven’s gate guy was taking a long trip, and wouldn’t be back until after […]

This pisses me off

The recent banking fiasco is making me rethink my aversion to cursing on this site.
Thank you, Ben Muterfking Bernake for spending mine and 299.554 million other Americans tax dollars for the next 2000 years to bail out the rich muttterfking banking bastards after they f-ed up the entire bloody banking system. I have a better […]

Controlled experiments

Another day, another heath scare. Fluffed up by fancy headlines without any supporting references, we now find that bisphenol-A causes diabetes and heart disease. Yeah, you know. Cause its not the sugar in the 26 bottles of coke that causes diabetes and heart disease, its the bisphenol-A.
Still, this has taught me a valuable lesson. I […]

Taking it in the myspace

Posted on: Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 in: What's Up

According to this, social networking now rules the internet and has the once mighty porn industry bent over the myspace, giving it to them in the facebook and the twitter at the same time.
It’s just wrong.  Sitting in a dark room with redtube.com seems a very reasonable use of ones time. Sitting in a dark […]

It’s almost over

According to dailytech, doomsday for the earth could be a early as late October, when the LHC creates the black hole that consumes the solar system.
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure that if God has empowered us with the ability to create a black hole and wipe out the solar system, we […]
