My philosophy is, when the comments are better than the post, post the comments.

Remember a few years back, when President Clinton was embroiled in the Whitewater Lewinsky Cigar Insertion Spectacular? Remember when the government lawyers were deposing him (I still have the whole thing on tape; I vowed I would actually sit down and watch it one day, but 8 years later that is starting to seem downright […]

I’m being picky, but the last two words of this headline don’t seem entirely necessary.

Snapshots of the world you live in:
1. Apparently, the pilot of an Air Canada Jazz jet got up and went to the bathroom in the middle of a flight a couple weeks ago and returned to find that he was locked out of the cockpit. Not to worry, though; after applying a little elbow grease, […]

Story I almost got to tell:
On Saturday, I walked into Michael’s Bar & Grill with my cell phone to my ear and approached the hostess’ stand, a look of serene patience on my face.
“How many in your party?” asked the hostess.
I looked up at her, bothered by the distraction from my call but still serene. […]

I normally go through about one Dumbest Thing Ever per day– the goalpost is on wheels– but this one is the current record holder at three days.
With the fall television season upon us, many of you will undoubtedly be watching NBC in the near future. When you do, look down in the bottom left hand […]

Forwarded by someone who should have his own damn site but doesn’t:
CHICAGO (AP) - State public health officials say an elderly woman has been hospitalized with kidney problems related to her consumption of tainted spinach.
The case marks the first confirmed illness in Illinois linked to an outbreak of E-coli in fresh spinach.
So far, […]

Iraq al-Qaida says pope, West are doomed
Oh, no. Doomed?
Dammit. I am so tired of being doomed.
I haven’t read what the Pope actually said– and I ain’t a’gonna– but they tell me he was reading from an ancient text, which never fails to get me into trouble with somebody. Given the reaction to the Pope’s story […]

Wild prediction: before the month is out, Captain America will be dead.

Let’s see whether I’m right or not before I say anything else.

I don’t have the strength to go through this again.

When Nancy Grace is the one who kills somebody, who crucifies her?

Happy Apocalyptic Death Cult Christmas, everybody!
How were your family’s celebrations this year? Did you get a chance to catch any of the parades and decorating ceremonies on TV today, or any of the many specials and movies that they rerun at this time each year? This year, CNN.com started running a 24-hour marathon of themed […]

All right. All right.
Winding down the week by browsing the news, I took a moment against my better judgement to glance at Yahoo’s Most Popular News Images of the day. One of them was this:

First of all, yes, obviously. “Awwww.” Absolutely. But why? Why? Why is it a news photo? What about it is– bin […]

You know what bugs me about ninjas?
By reputation– nay, by job description– ninjas are an elite brotherhood of stealthy, silent assassins. Ask any Eastern cultural expert or eleven-year-old boy and they will all tell you the same thing: a ninja is supposed to be such a badass that one of them can creep in through […]

As a web site owner, it would appear that I am required by federal law to comment on the lonelygirl15 phenomenon. (Spend ten minutes online without seeing someone weigh in on this pressing topic, I dare you.)
Short summary: youtube, my favorite site, has made minor celebrities of kids with webcams talking to themselves. The most […]

My e-mail’s been down more or less all day, so if you’re trying to e-mail me… I hope you succeed. Godspeed with that, for both our sakes.
I had to do something at work this morning that I imagine other people are used to, but which I don’t think I’ve had to do for years (if […]

Bush Warns Americans: U.S. Still At War
Oh?
Poll: Most Americans Angry About “Something”
I feel as though these stories share a connection. But what…?
Love that lead; it sounds* like people are just walking around full of directionless rage. Most Americans are angry! About what? I dunno! Something!

The Crocodile Hunter got killed by a wild animal! A stingray, of all things.
Hearing that, you are sad and somehow satisfied in a way you wish you weren’t. You are trying to stifle the voice saying, “Yep! That’s how that ought to be.”

I heard this a couple of weeks ago and quickly put it out of my mind to keep from turning into the Hulk, but when I heard it again today I found the feelings were stronger than ever. This is from a press conference on the war the president gave a couple of weeks ago. […]
