Quick! When’s the next full moon?

I believe this is an appropriate video to pause and reflect on the year which was 2007. When I first saw this rendition by the late Johnny Cash, I was floored by it and I’ll bet Trent Reznor was too. “Hurt:”

Here’s another reason why I loathe the Народная Республика Ильиной*. A Marine finds some guy who happens to be a lawyer lean up against his car, keying it. The Marine calls the Cops and has the lawyer arrested. The prosecutors don’t want to prosecute the lawyer becasue they say it isn’t worth their time.
I hope this lawyer’s business goes way down after this incident. Read the whole thing here, and if you’re as pissed off as I am, there’s contact information too.

In his own words. Pay attention to his words about the terrorists’ aims:

See this young man? That’s Bilawal Bhutto, the 19-year-old son of the late Benazir Bhutto, who’s been chosen, along with his father, to lead the Pakistan People’s Party, which was founded 40 years ago by his grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (who was Boxed by Hanging in 1979 by the military government) and his mother, Benazir, who was assassinated last week.
There you have it. Political dynasties, which the PPP’s leadership clearly is, are either intensely loved or hated, there is no middle ground, and both these men have been set up as targets. Oh, they won’t be taken down right away, they’ll be allowed to build their public support…and once that occurs, either or both of them will be taken out. Mark my words.

For the last Saturday in 2007…King Crimson’s “Epitaph:”

Well, the truck is history. Four years and a few thousand dollars burned out of my wallet was enough. Today, I traded it in for a 2007 Ford Taurus SE sedan, with 29,700 miles on it. I also got full insurance, and an extended bumper-to-bumper warranty out to 100,000 miles to boot, so whatever maintenance is necessary is up front. I now have much-needed peace of mind…
...and so does Mom. You see, Mom helped out with the payments on the truck and it was time for me to free her from those. She didn’t have to do that, but she looks out for us kids. Any good parent does. And now I’ve given something back to her.

I think the NFL is doing this just a wee bit too early. Perhaps they should wait for, oh, about another five weeks or so…and then do the comparison. Not that this is going to matter to me, and it isn’t…you all know why.
Especially since one team might get it in them to knock the Patriots off, then this whole exercise would be futile.

Lately I’ve been receiving bogus membership requests from so-called “users” in foreign countries, most notably Russia (gee I wonder why), which I keep turning away because when I send test messages, they would immediately bounce back with the notorious “user not found” reply. I may have to upgrade my Expression Engine software soon.
Lo and Behold! A REAL person appears, who informs me that I chat with them over at LGF! At last! I bid SkepticalOne a hearty welcome!

After yesterday’s insanity in Pakistan, the Pakistani Market Edition of the breakfast cereal, which got this blog banned in India, were publicly released. Last night after getting home from work, another rampage created two more market-specific boxes: one for the Paleostinians and the other for Saudi Arabia. Click on the thumbnails to see them in all their mocking glory!
Next Up: Iran. I think I’m going to go back to the original box for this one. Stay tuned.

Well the motherfrakkers got to her: Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was MURDERED in a homicide bombing which killed at least 20 other people. Bhutto, opposed President Pervez Musharraf. Now I wonder who was the poor person the Islamofascists recruited. Last couple times around it was a 1-year-old baby and a 15-year-old lad.
Now, the Islamofascists go even more mad. They definitely had their fill of this cereal today:

I’m not laughing. But who’s next?

No thanks to Senator John F. Kerry (D-MA) who threatened Senate hearings if the NFL didn’t broadcast the upcoming game this Sunday when the 15-0* New England Patriots visit the Meadowlands to play the New York Giants. As a result, the NFL relented and now the game will be broadcast on Free TV (CBS and NBC) as well as the NFL Network.
I’m not only going to rip Senator Kerry a new a**hole for wasting MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND YOURS, I’m ripping the New England Patriots once again for their perceived undefeated regular-season record thus far; if you want a reminder of why this is so, click on the above asterisk. This game is NOT in the national interest as Senator Kerry claims! What’s more important, the NFL or our continuing War on Terror? Well, Senator Kerry has given you his answer and he, as usual, is full of s**t!
Wake the hell up, America…if you elect Democrats to high office next year, you will get even more endless bulls**t investigations to take our minds off the real danger.

No, not for me…this is for our Friends in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and many other Commonwealth countries. It’s known as Wrestling Boxing Day, and it goes out to employees, eh.
So this post is for them. Enjoy it while you can, eh.

I hate to blog about news like this, but sometimes it must be done.
If Iran insists on developing nuclear weapons to wipe out the Zionists, it’ll be the Israelis who would do the wiping out, according to a report released by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). In a three-week-long exchange of nukes, Israel may lose 200,000 to 800,000 citizens, but Iran would kiss anywhere from 16 to 20 MILLION goodbye. This report does NOT count deaths due to fallout!
The report also states that if the Chinless Ophthalmologist insists on joining the fun and lobs chemical and/or biological weapons against Israel, the report tacks on another 18 MILLION Syrians who would be wiped out. And the rest of the Arab world better be careful, because should this ever happen, the Israelis might just say “F**K ‘EM ALL” and bomb them all out of existence.
As any sane warrior would, I pray to God this does not happen.

I don’t get it. Why won’t Microsoft learn how NOT to release stuff like this in it?

SEATTLE—Microsoft Corp.‘s Excel 2007 spreadsheet program is going to have to relearn part of its multiplication table.
In a blog post, Microsoft employee David Gainer said that when computer users tried to get Excel 2007 to multiply some pairs of numbers and the result was 65,535, Excel would incorrectly display 100,000 as the answer.
Gainer said Excel makes mistakes multiplying 77.1 by 850, 10.2 by 6,425 and 20.4 by 3,212.5, but the program appears to be able to handle 16,383.75 times 4.
“Further testing showed a similar phenomenon with 65,536 as well,” Gainer wrote Tuesday.

This is one more reason why I’m glad to be using Numbers. Hence the Numbers icon.
