Now what?

I never liked Tom Daschle, I always thought he was a sanctimonious prick, but I think this whole tax debacle should be a warning sign. Our entire tax code and the systems that support it are outdated and in dire need of serious improvement. It should serve has a huge warning that a former US Senator and what I would guess to be a formidable army of lawyers don't even understand our tax system.

The rich fleece the system by exploiting its arcane loopholes while the rest of us get screwed into footing the bill.

That's healthy

So it turns out the crazy Octuplets lady in California keeps shitting out kids because she wants to be a famous TV Mom. That's not only crazy....its just wrong.

Good Riddance

The man responsible for making all new BMWs look like melted jelly beans has decided to quit the car business all together. Chris Bangle's styling over the last few years has caught A LOT of criticism for his design decisions. I look forward to BMW returning to it's more sporting roots...I hope.

Instinct

Talk about nightmares.

Pepsgruber!

Here's all of this years Super Bowl ads. Only a couple of really funny ones, the Doritos ad is awesome. Oh and the Hulu ad....because Alec Baldwin rocks.

FaceCrack

You realize that Facebook is a fucking cult right? Here's some warning signs:

  • All your friends are trying to convince you to join but they can give you no compelling reason to do so.
  • You can't see what it's all about until your you sign up....can you say Scientology?
  • It's run by a egomaniacal asshole.
  • When you use Facebook you have to wear a robe and chant. (I may have made that one up)
Personally, I think Facebook is the harbinger of the end of the Internet as we know it. It's like going back to using AOL where some corporate entity wants you to stay in their little "walled garden" so they can plaster as many advertisements as possible in front of you. You will suckle from the teet.....

What is the point of Facebook? Here's my opinion in a little point/counter-point.

  • Facebook let's me chat with all my friends! You mean like instant messenging or email? That's original.
  • Facebook let's me share pictures with all my friends! You mean like Picasa, Flickr or anyone of a dozen non-cult websites?
  • Facebook tells my friends when I'm online! Great, you enjoy being stalked by the masses?
  • Facebook let's me "friend" people so that I can be part of some sycophantic competition to see who has more "friends"! You really answered that one yourself didn't you.
  • Facebook let's me get in touch with people I haven't talked to in years! If they were interesting enough you would have kept in touch some other way...they're probably all dog rapists or serial killers now anyway.

Another douchebag chronicle

I love this story about Michael Phelps. The best part is that there is a Mormon High School with a girls JV swim team that just doesn't understand why he would do something so evil....it must have been satan.


And your 15 minutes ends.....now.

Way to go spaz.

I'm guessing some people may have complained about this one.
