God Dammit

I’ll have a rant later about this, but for now, go to the Washington Post for updates and breaking news on this story. Now that NATO is involved, I fully expect whoever did this to be reduced to a smoking hole in short order.

Ok, that tears it.

The American economy appears to be controlled primarily by investors with the collective intelligence of a fermented rutabaga.

Let’s think about this for a micro-second, and see just how this situation arose. Oh wait, there’s no thinking necessary; it’s pure, unadulterated greed. Greed that makes the more shady investors give money to businesses with questionable business plans, little marketability, and a tendency to over spend and overestimate growth potential in their sectors. Greed that fueled outrageously inflated IPOs - even for companies with no infrastructure who only seemed to exist on paper.

Mmmmm… tasty Japanese class. I’ve finally gotten off of my sorry butt and registered for Nihongo with Shimizu-sensi at Blackhawk College. Blackhawk doesn’t call itself a community college, but that’s what it is. ^_^ Poor saps think they can convince the rest of the world that they’re a real-life college.

Whelp, I’m not sure if it was inevitable or not, but Becky and I are no longer an item. But hey, you never know what the future holds.

On a less depressing note, go to The Romp! Sign up and go play Booty Call or watch enjoy the crazy antics at *Cooties_ and its rather dangerous proprietor Gypsy Pedro. This has to be the funniest flash-animation site I’ve run into!

“If you paid an extended viewing or non-return fee between January 1, 1992, and April 1, 2001, you are a member of a proposed Settlement Class in an action against Blockbuster Inc.”

Well… doesn’t it just make your heart swell with pride, knowing that our pathetic, litigious society has come up with yet another wonderful way to burn its collective free time.
