From article about Obama living in a Mansion
“In terms of who’s an elitist, I think people have made a judgment that John McCain is not an arugula-eating, pointy headed professor-type based on his life story.”
I’m pretty sure Arugula is good for you. Keeps the heart going… long… into old age…
From NATO ministers review ties with Russia
Russia’s ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, warned that what he described as an anti-Russian propaganda campaign could jeopardize existing security cooperation.
“We hope that tomorrow’s decisions by NATO will be balanced and that responsible forces in the West will give up the total cynicism that has been so evident (which) is pushing us back to the Cold War era,” Rogozin told reporters.
As much as American foreign policy is excruciatingly short-sighted and double-standard, this little gem is an all together over thee top quote. That a Russian diplomat would even say, “pushing us back to the Cold War era,” is just asking for him to get bitch slapped. Oh, like you had any Cold left for your new Era. Russia, are you trying to get back together with your ex-girlfriend?
Drunk Political Post #1 is all about thwarting the #1 American ideal of selfishness.
1) If you go to polls thinking about who is going to raise your taxes, you suck. As a single individual for the past 10 years of my true tax paying life I can say that I have personally paid for atleast 12 more tanks, 10 more anti aircraft weapons and plenty of CBU-58A/B’s. Do you hear me complaining about how many taxes I have to pay? Nope, that’s because I haven’t entered the pissy ass world of the married couple with a kid who seems to think politics revolves around their income tax bracket. Next time you go to the poll, just remember all those young single professionals that are fueling America’s war… AKA not you, and vote with your conscience.
2) If you go to the polls and look at someone’s last name and think.. oh McCain, that sounds like a quaint scot, then think about quickly effing yourself in the face. McCain holds about as many ideals with the scots as a mop does with not keeping sh*t clean. Please vote for the guy who sounds like he’s from the middle east because in the long run it will do most of us a lot better. Thanks!
This ends inappropriate drunk political post #1.
Wish Lists on Amazon have always been a popular feature. They let you show to everyone else things they should buy you from Amazon. The new twist is the Universal list where you can add anything from any site to your wish list. I definitely like to see my employer heading in a more “open to the rest of the Web” direction with its features.
All you have to do is drag the bookmark button to your toolbar and use it to add entries to your wish list whenever you find a product you want on the web. I’ve added one for a new Lenovo tablet laptop on my wishlist.
Get the Universal Wish List. Apologies for the advertisement, I really like the new feature though. And I’m sure one of you can find a completely inappropriate use for it.
From a review of the new 3g iPhone:
More important, in daily use, I found the battery indicator on the new 3G model slipping below 20% by early afternoon or midafternoon on some days, and it entirely ran out of juice on one day. I overcame this problem by learning to use Wi-Fi instead of 3G whenever possible, turning down the screen brightness and even turning off 3G altogether, which the phone permits.
It always amazes me when you give someone the shiniest new tool on the block how they will self-train around major annoyances. Your power source should be the one thing that you shouldn’t have to worry about; power is a major concern when it’s the foundation of electricity and your new shiny device’s operation. Not that this device doesn’t work better than any of the other devices when it’s powered, but to put it bluntly, you sound silly saying you learned how to manually manage the power of your 200 dollar “high tech” device.
People of the Earth, you really aren’t cool.
I’ve gotten my Turkey trip photos uploaded to Flickr. There are close to 200 photos so it might take some time to look through all of them but I recommend using the photo album feature with caption info. Let me know what you think here or on Flickr!
I was searching on amazonmp3 for Econochrist songs, because everyone knows how much I love Econochrist, and I happened upon a multidisc album called Towncraft (Notes from a Local Scene) which looks like it has Soophie Nun Squad on the cover. It looks to be the soundtrack for a movie (likely about Little Rock AR), anyone heard of this? I’ll see what I find out.
Ed: Ope, here we are.
From the 2008-2009 New York State Senate Budget Report:
“The Senate rejects the Executive’s proposal to create a new tax on illegal drugs. ($13 million)”
If someone has figured out how to tax illegal substances, I, for one, would like to know this ingenious plan.
Also, “The Senate rejects the Executive’s proposal to increase the tax on flavored malt beverages. ($15 million)”
Close call! Mike’s Hard Lemonade prices would have skyrocketed and there goes my wine cooler weekends in NYC.
A comment posted by Daniel: “I couldn’t understand some parts of this article ‘07 Cooking Series: Get Your Hands Off My Tortilla, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.”
Robots are so cool like that.
