Fair and Balanced

Because the recent politician personal scandals were not bipartisan enough, Fox News stepped in to save America. (Fox News puts the “partisan” in “bi-partisan”?)
Thank you, wise and respectful media. What would we ever do if we were left with nothing but DFH bloggers?
Now; can we please focus on the relevant stuff (a State had effectively [...]

I feel cheated

Probably the story is not still straightened out yet, but my schadenfreude faded away when I read this post from Politico. Of course, still too early to know, yadda yadda yadda.
Political insiders in Nevada and in the Senate said that Ensign decided to acknowledge the affair publicly after the husband of the woman he had [...]

Turncloak

I’ve long had both feet firmly planted on the openSuSE camp when it comes to the distro wars. Same for KDE in the KDE Vs Gnome (and now xfce and others) one. Gnome feels way to limited as far as configuration. Also, I’m more used to the KDE GUI, not to mention that I consistently [...]

Embarassing

Dick “worthless piece of bloodlusty, neanderthal shit” Cheney makes a statement that is more strongly for the right of every adult to marry whichever adult they wish, than anything President Obama has said, to my recollection.
Yeah, only because he has a lesbian daughter, yadda yadda yadda, don’t care. It’s fuckin’ embarrassing, [...]

Monday Morning Help 2: The Morninging.

Goddamn Mondays. Today is going to be real long, real slow. It’s all cloudy and rainy. I need to get some serious work done. I don’t feel like working. There’s a half dozen (or so) things I’d rather be doing. I haven’t had coffee yet.
Luckily, I have “I’m a Cuckoo” (by Belle & Sebastian) stuck [...]

Confession time

I cannot stand the acronym/buzzword/stupid-ass pseudoword “EVOO.”
There, I said it.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

What the hell is up with all the pro-Carla people lately? Seriously? I mean, seriously? I get it, she’s cooky and probably entertaining to some (I have to keep reminding myself that hurling a book at my LCD TV would make me want to hang myself every time she goes on about how she “puts [...]

Rainy Day

Unlike other, more fortunate areas of the nation, Long Island is getting some shitty-ass rain after some pretty mild overnight snow. I hate it. Rain sucks by itself, but when it destroys its far superior and denser cousin, snow, that shit’s just mean.
It got me thinking about rainy day music. I think we all have [...]

This doesn’t bode well

During my first class of the semester, it was pointed out by a thoughtful student that I had written “Substraction” on the board. I think I’ve been writing it like that since forever.
God, I hate myself sometimes.

Restoring Faith in Government

Ever since the execution of Order Sixty-Six, I’ve been (I’d hope understandably) terribly leery of Executive Orders. That shit just wasn’t right, man.
But here comes Dear Glorious New Leader of the Socialist Reawekening and basically tells me “Come on, give me a chance” with the signing of the Executive Order that instructs the CIA to [...]
