Tim Minear was executive producer and writer on ‘Firefly’, ‘Angel’, ‘Wonderfalls’, and other fine television shows. Check it out: I found out last week that he reads my blog.
True story. He even left a comment on my post about ‘Firefly’, which kinda made me lose bladder control for a second. We […]

John Hawkins is doing a Q&A Thursday, which really is a fantastic idea because I am severely bereft of any ideas and am in fact feeling burned out with work/blog/dogs/jacked-up-jaw/blah blah. Anyway, one of the questions today is:
Suppose you were elected Temporary Supreme Dictator of America.
What are 10 laws you would pass/repeal or government […]

Man, I wish my birthday was more often than once a year. I’ll make it officially so when I become Leader.
I got most of the thank-you emails for donations finished up today, but I want to publicly thank all of you again. Also thanks to those who bought my Zazzle gear […]

I’m too busy reading other blogs to bother with my own. Couple of funny things:
“McCain Comes Under Fire for ‘Bitter’ Comments” at The Nose On Your Face:
Traveling in Pennsylvania today, Republican presidential candidate John McCain told a small town gathering that liberals gravitate to certain causes out of bitterness fomented by their failure to […]

99.9% of you do not want to read this post. Scroll away now. Trust me, you’re only interested if you’re a 30-something woman who believed when you were 13 years old that some day, some sweet sweet day, you would be Mrs. George Michael.
Sooo….I just heard on the radio that he’s coming […]

I just got off the phone with the retention department at Sprint vis-a-vis my extreme displeasure at their Who Gives a Shit If You’re A Long-term Loyal Customer? policy.
Oh, yeah baby. They give a shit now.
Ahab had given me some advice about which phones to try and told me what […]

Hey man. The questionnaire says the little turds will be merciless and show no fear. Kind of like The Flood in Halo 2.
Got this from Andrea Harris, who can only take 14. She must not see children as hairless feral animals like I do; that’s really the key here. […]

I put the Sunny “Saddest Bee” greeting card on my Zazzle store this afternoon, and a few hours later, got an email from Zazzle saying that it has been voted the Greeting Card of the Day by the Zazzle community. A few of them were bought, and thus I have now officially earned sweet […]

You’d think by now I’d learn to stop being afraid, but every single time I post about a subject like my last post (such as abortion and religion, your classic “untouchables”), I wait for the Flame Hammer to fall.
I follow several other blogs that get a lot of comments like mine does, and […]

Army of Dog links to a thingy that tells you how ill-mannered and uncouth your blog is. My results:
Around 65.6% of the pages on your website contain cussing. This is 629% MORE than other websites who took this test.
I don’t know whether to say sweeeet or sorry, Mom.

Okay, I know it’s borderline totally narcissistic to actually put a post on your own blog about something awesome written about you on another blog, but…wait for it…tough shit. I’m doing it.
Not for myself, for you. Because you need me to take over functional oversight of Earth one day, and in order […]

Reader Janna sent me this, which I somehow missed even though I read Hot Air like it’s crack. Click on the image to watch the video.
In case you can’t watch it, an 81-year-old former paratrooper was walking home with groceries when he was approached by a teenage kid who stuck a 5-inch knife in […]

David Colborne has not only introduced the Spanish version of “asshat” (see post title), he also tells about the most awesome thing I’ve heard of in years.
A bizarre wave of mob emo-bashings is sweeping across Mexico. The movement is being generated on message boards and social networking sites by non-emo youth who highly […]

I know it’s crap television and I know you question my character and upbringing because I watch it. But the thing is, wonderful things can happen because of that show. Things like me discovering a truly beautiful song that I had no awareness of until last week when Jason Castro sang it: Leonard […]

I love it when bad people do stupid things to get themselves busted.
A couple who allegedly planted live worms in a restaurant entree to scam a free meal have been arrested and charged with conversion.
Tiffany Vance of Merrillville and her dinner date, Christopher Egnatz of St. John, tried to make a scene Tuesday night after […]
