Record Profits

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Just in case this story slipped past you. These guys know it’s open season while Bush is in office:
The scrutiny intensified after Exxon Mobil, the world’s biggest oil company, posted a profit of 9.92 billion dollars for the third quarter — the biggest in US corporate history.
***********************************************
“It’s become perfectly clear that the big oil companies [...]

Boring Mouse Review

Friday, October 28th, 2005

My mouse’s right button started to malfunction so I got this new one at Circuit City. If you just tell them it’s on sale at Staples for $19.94 they’ll give you that price(because it really is and they look it up on the net). There are fancier ones out there but I’m finally graduating to [...]

Sirtaj

Friday, October 28th, 2005

When I was setting out to write a review of my favorite cheap Indian food joint, I did a quick search and pulled up the same thing I was about to say(virtually):
Tasty, value, not prettyThe food is very good. The delivery and service (at the counter, on the phone, etc.) is pretty good. The place [...]

Audio Politics On The Net

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

I thought this Maureen Dowd interview was sorta interesting(Oct 26 - scroll down). Regardless of what you think of Don Imus he still gets good guests sometimes. He can be a stupid jack ass or he can bug the shit out of people until they betray themselves. Same thing with Maureen, though: she barks louder [...]

Abandon Republican Ship! (well, maybe not yet - but close!)

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

There are just too many explanations of the hypocrisy going on to choose from. It’s become a shooting gallery. I’ll just choose one: here’s the Crooks & Liars explanation:
Then there must be an up or down vote.
I heard that line from many right wingers who were waiting in gleeful anticipation for the kind of extreme [...]

.NET on Linux / Mac / ???

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

A while back I blogged about trying to wean myself from Microsoft technologies…
Well i stumbled upon this today that seems to me to be a giant leap forward in accomplishing that goal, an open source .NET platform for all those other systems out there.
Since i’m vested in .NET and am much more comfortable writing applications [...]

Open Letter To Bush

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Bush,
You stupid dumb ass. Did you really think you were aloud to make a single decision and the christian right would accept it after doing their bidding like a fucking gimp for so long?
Sincerely,
Parrot
PS - I’m looking forward to seeing all these people who elected you eat shit when the indictments roll out and [...]

Slap!

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Paul Begala:
The last thing this President wants is the first thing he needs: someone to slap his spoiled, pampered, trust-funded, plutocratic, never-worked-a-day-in-his-life cheek and make him face the reality of his foul-ups.

FB Eye

One of the comments under this Slashdot post:
…we show that a program with the best of intentions gave too much power to one tenticle of government, and now it’s being abused. I’m not sure how many times we need to figure this one out before we stop gravitating to one part of gov’t, giving it [...]

I Watch Politics Like I Would Watch Cockroach Racing:

Recent conversation between Parrot to Minuteman:
Parrot:http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/2005/10/dick-cheney-perjury-bitches-perjury.html

Cheney lied. Under oath. Put any Republican (and a few DINOs) in the wayback machine, and they will tell you — this is an impeachable offense.
from the comments: “If Cheney goes down with Scooter and Karl, I’m not sure how Dubya survives — it would be tantamount to admitting [...]

Sigh… I Long For the Halcyon Days of SWK & Farting Preacher

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

The CBS News Story about SWK.
The reporter tries to sound so sympathetic but since they’re showing every incarnation of it on the NATIONAL EVENING NEWS doesn’t that top having it distributed to millions of people on the internet? They could have shown one instance on the news story and then done some actual reporting and [...]

The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, anordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations,base thirteen, Tibetan monks [...]

The Dumbhouse

Monday, October 24th, 2005

I read the Onion all the time but I never would have known they did a fake weekly radio address that satirizes president Bush if the actual Whitehouse hadn’t threatened them for using the presidential seal. But like I said, since I didn’t know about this before, thanks go out to Bush admin for helping [...]

Onsen 温泉【おんせん】

Monday, October 24th, 2005

I feel like my best ideas come to me while I’m taking a hot shower. Plus, my girlfriend is Japanese and we end up spending a lot of time enjoying hot baths. These bath crayon things are fantastic for doing your thinking on the shower wall. I’m trying to learn all these freaking kanji now [...]

This was on Boing Boing, so the whole world has seen it by now. But we need to keep a link to it here on Gigantic Dwarf ’cause we forget where we saw these things. . .
