It’s not that I’m lazy, Bob
It’s that I just don’t care.
Once upon a time, deadlines motivated me, and the few days leading up to a big presentation would be filled with all-nighters, Cuban coffee, and amazing feats of productivity. Sadly, those days are gone, and as Pratt & Whitney and NASA prepare to visit Atlanta and wreak unholy wrath […]

Take the baby dinosaurs, duh!
Everything you ever needed to learn about the defensibility of creationism in a fun-filled video with Kent Hovind:
During that time [before the Flood], everything lived over 900 years. Now, reptiles never stop growing. It’s a simple biological fact, reptiles grow all their life. Now what would happen to a reptile if you put […]

Maher on Biden: don’t knock the guy who gets Iraq because of one-second brainfart
There’s more to being smart than just not misspeaking. The world is a complicated place. … Which is why for this next election, we need to pick the smartest candidate, not the dullest one who simply never had a verbal gaffe and said a wrong word or phrase.
A couple of weeks ago, Senator Joe Biden […]

Shelbimemer
These posts in teh internets frequently start off with the tired old disclaimer, I normally don’t do these memes, but…. Why should mine be any different? Stephanie a better writer than I (hey, I’m a better engineer than she, so suck it), half-assedly tagged me to share

SmarterAss Videocast 1.01
I decided to launch the videocast portion of smarterasses.org, my embryonic political communications 2.0 website, before the website itself was ready for full deployment. I blame Benson, who’s gone ahead and created a Second Life office for YDG complete with free t-shirts and got me sucked into this virtual reality crap in the first […]

I came. I saw. I teleported.
Some of you managed to figure out the magical metaphor about how nonprofit work can make me feel like a cat dragging in small dead animals. It also reveals my very cat-like tendency to piss on things that other people like for no good reason. To wit: Second Life.

Labor, racial equality subversive
Yes, we elect some real yokels in Georgia. Steve Davis is a racist, anti-family jackass who is afraid of exposing his perfect white children to such issues as families living in poverty and racial equality. Makes me want to hit him with a stick every time he refers to God.

Isn’t that “cute”
Interesting and Fun-to-Know Fact About Me #47: I spent the first two decades of my life almost exclusively going by the nickname “Chip.” Surprisingly enough, I still have people who I consider pretty good friends look around my apartment and suddenly blurt out, “Who the hell is ‘Chip’ and why do you have a […]

Bush hopes they don’t come back from Iraq
As he sends more children to get shot up and broken by bombs in Iraq, he plans on spending less on their medical care should any of them return. BUT we have to keep the tax cuts for the wealthy, so….
Vets face more health care cuts
