California Supreme Court upholds anti gay marriage law.
The law passed 52-48.  I guess this clears the way for California to re-establish slavery too (provided they get a majority of the votes, of course).  Imagine - 52% of the people who voted came out just to stop gays from marrying.  Americans Idle must have been a [...]

Yes, it’s time for the Yearly Unpopular After Memorial Day Rant:
Every Memorial Day I stare in mute horror at the countless displays of patriotism. It’s a real battle to keep my huge cavity closed but I’m learning my lesson, hence the Day After Rant. It’s all I can do not to question the mindless patriotism [...]

Please.

Yesterday I attended the PA VMware Users Group conference in a Philly suburb.  It was the subject of much discussion and anticipation among the crew, with just about everybody wishing to go. This was my first foray into user group events.
I’ll be honest: I hate salespeople.  Most of the salespeople that I meet make my [...]

YOUR TAX DOLLARS…
Census forms will be in English and Spanish.

If I were typing this two weeks ago, I would have meant that by nuking Aetna, we should nuke all HMOs.  Due to my recent experiences with Aetna, I have decided they should at very least be first.  Perhaps if we nuke Aetna, the rest of the thieving bastards will fall in line (but don’t [...]
