PA underage sex party

Don’t even begin to deny you’re reading this.  It’s OK… it’s human nature.
It’s probably all over the media, a fact with which I’d be better acquainted if I checked out local media. As I understand it, someone threw a sex party. There were underage girls and boys in the fourteen-plus range. There were two adult […]

damn near thermionic content

I haven’t spent enough time on the actual topic of the blog, thermionic emissions.  This simply refers to vacuum tubes and the way they operate.
Two weeks back I attended a hamfest outside of Philly.  For the uninitiated, this is sort of an electronic flea market for radio, audio, and computer people.   It does not refer, […]

Iran discovers new oil well

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has discovered an oilfield within its southwestern Farsi oil block, an oil official said on Saturday, without giving details of estimated reserves.
Uh-oh… I hear in the distance the subtle swell of the drums of war… in DC they’re frantically trying to come up with any plausible-sounding reason to invade. This […]

new yawk is not tasteless

I saw a commercial the other night. This in itself isn’t too odd. The odd bit is that I stopped for a second to think about what I heard. This was my fatal mistake.
Pizza Hut claims to have tested out their pasta-to-go on New Yorkers, who loved it.
I (obviously) don’t […]

george, you f*@$ing b*#@(*@

Today we bid a sad adieu to George Carlin, who passed away last night. George had heart problems and checked into the hospital with chest pains.
I consider this gentleman to be the godfather of comedy. He lost nothing with age either; his latest stuff is every bit as good as his earlier routines, […]

compromise spying immunity bill…

Update: Voted! Passed 293-129. Today the House votes on a new compromise FISA Bill that will make the NSA’s formerly questionable activities—like spying on Americans—legal, and will grant conditional..
It’s ok, go back to watching Americans Idle.  Nothing to see here.  We’ve just gotten the Telcos (Friends of Bush) off the hook for spying.  Oh yeah, […]

same-sex marriage…

Today was the first day for California’s same-sex marriage registration. That should be interesting, if nothing else.
Quite frankly, I’m against same-sex marriage.
I’m also against opposite sex marriage.
Actually I’m only half-joking. I don’t believe the State has any place in marriage, partnership, or whatever you’d like. I don’t have a problem with paying […]

watching idiots watching idiots

TV always frightens me. Even back when I was a kid and terribly addicted to it, it still frightened me. The fright level has gone way up recently and I suspect it’s because my Inner Sociologist is taking note and starting to panic.
The first Fright Moment was watching Cops on G4. […]
