We had to answer the question of what’s unpleasant to a fish

No longer content with simply controlling the direction that our rivers flow, Chicago is now planning to legislate which way fish swim!

Consumed in America

Remember when George Washington chopped down the cherry tree and then he couldn’t tell a lie about it? This is kind of the same thing, except exactly the opposite. Way to go Bush, you cock-a-saur…

Travelling Without Moving

Oops… I knew I forgot at least one city I wanted to visit in my 2002 World Tour… Toronto!

Let’s Be Pushing Things Forwarder

The last entry reminded me of some other hip lingo that found its way into my Inbox of late. This was composed by one Art Carden as an attempt to document his own figures of speech, for the benefit of those he often confounds with their application. Anyhow, it makes for some damn good reading! So check it out…

They Misunderestimated Me

Ok, here’s something a bit more upbeat. YourDictionary.com has compiled some of the trends going down in the English language during the past year, including of course, Bushisms! Also very amusing is the youthspeak section. I know all my hottie readers will think this is hella tight fo’ shizzle! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna sit back with my stog and check my flow! Bling bling, yo!

It’s really a lighthearted spoof of guys’ fantasies

What, you mean it’s not a cynical, black-hearted attempt to capitalize on the corporate sponsored culture of confused sexuality and body image that we live in? Well I’ll be fucked! (But uh… You know, it’s not like Miller is the only guilty party here, it’s just them and 90 percent of the other TV advertisers. Damn, I’m in kind of a shitty mood this morning; must be because I’m at work =)

You’ve got to act ó you don’t have a choice

Do we have a choice to spend less on stupid-ass missle defense and more on Social Security? No? Ok, fuck it then. Kill the bastards! (Let’s add old folks to the Axis of Evil!!)

Bush declares a National Sanctity of Life Day

Huh?! Did I miss something? The last time I checked, Bush was doing everything in his power to kill the living shit out of innocent, powerless children, and now he’s declaring a National Sanctity of Life Day? What’s next? Is he going to pull funding from safe, effective condom distribution and sex education programs around the world? Yeah, that ought to teach those sinful fuckers a thing or two about the sanctity of life…

Why… WHY?!?

Here’s some musings I composed in response to a question posted at links.net The question is, in brief, “So many of my smart, media-literate friends don’t play video games - why?” and my response is available right here.

I’m not stupid

Hey, check out what those jokers in Congress are up to. No sooner has the RAVE (Reducing Americans Vunerability to Ecstasy) Act been shot down in Congress than Tom Daschle (D-SD) reintroduces it, buried in a domestic security bill that’s almost certain to pass. Once again, you can tell him to shove it thanks to our friends at the Drug Policy Alliance

(For those who don’t recall, the RAVE Act makes it easy for business owners to be held accountable for the actions of their customers i.e. smoking a joint at a concert, etc. This sucks because it creates a climate of fear and paranoia among the owners and operators of these kind of establishments and/or events, leading almost certainly to new, stricter regulations, higher insurance premiums and less fun. So if you like fun, well you know… =)
