Talk about out of touch.

First off, eat shit Tom Delay.

What an ignorant prick. While I agree there are some serial abusers of the unemployment system I'd like to see the reaction to this of any one of the thousands of well-educated, thoroughly experienced professionals that have spent months looking for a job with no luck. I'm sure Mr. Delay is right and they would much prefer to make a quarter of their previous salary by collecting unemployment and relaxing in their soon to be foreclosed on homes.

Of course we can't all afford to voluntarily quit our jobs like you Mr. Delay and most of us don't have a job with access to tens of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks either. Quitting on your terms seems so much less meaningful when all you're doing is trying to avoid getting thrown out for an ethics violations.

Freaky Friday

Check out Nana crashing the boards.....WTF.

Why not?

While agree with the Obama Administration's cancellation of the troubled Constellation program I have already blogged about my serious issues with not having a viable manned space system. It could easily be ten years until this country could field another manned flight system once the Shuttle Program ends. Couple that with estimates that the loss of Constellation and the cancellation of the Shuttle may cost as many as 27,000 jobs and it seems like a really bitter pill to swallow.

Personally I think extending the Shuttle program is the best, lowest cost option at this point. Too bad that's not likely to happen.

Awesome

This may be the coolest music video ever made....seriously.

Mother Nature.

Alligator versus Python....which one do you think will win? Video.


Not embeddable....what is this 2001?

Forget the batteries.

Porsche is showing off their new 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept car at the Geneva auto show this week and man is it fucking hot. I don't give a shit about the Hybrid part but this NEEDS to be the styling of the next Boxster/Caymen. It's just beautiful (except for the wheels, those are FUGLY.)

Cowards.

Apple has been called many things by many people but in general they are not known to be "afraid" of defending their intellectual property. In that respect it's not surprising that Apple has filed a patent infringement suit regarding their patents for the iPhone. What is surprising is who they are filing the suit against....HTC. Some of you probably said, who the fuck is HTC? HTC is a hardware manufacturer that makes the best phones that you've never heard of.

So why is Apple going after HTC? Because they make the best phones for both Google's Android OS and Microsoft's Windows Mobile platforms. Apple is taking the coward's route by not suing Google or Microsoft with their deep pockets and going after the only company that could really be hurt by the suit. Even though a fair amount of the things named in the suit are more related to the phone's operating system and not the hardware. It's a real dick move.

Holy WTF?

This is freaking hilarious....I'm intrigued and frightened.



Wouldn't it be awesome to see that guy on America Idol? I'd love to see him tear off Simon Cowell's head and drink his blood.
