Scott, that website you sent with all the world stats is fascinating. An endless amount of things to comment on. How about this: VIOLENT COUNTRIES:
1) South Africa (no surprise)
2) Columbia (no surprise)
3) Thailand (what the…I guess this blows Oliver Stone’s theory that countries that know how to f*ck are more peaceful
4) Zimbabwe
5) [...]

The Economic Lies
October 30th, 2003 No Comments
Good news for Bush! According to the latest reports, the U.S. economy is growing at a fast rate, which knocks the wind out of the sails out of those democrats criticizing him for his handling of the economy.
But it’s actually bad news in the long run. Because what it means is that U.S. [...]

Michael Moore is a Fraud (Part II)
October 30th, 2003 No Comments
Apparently, even Radical Left-Wingers are turning on Michael Moore. Now the San Franscisco chronicle is bashing him as a hypocrite.
Hopefully his success will decrease, even if his waistline doesn’t.

Great Balls of Fire
October 29th, 2003 No Comments
The wildfires has everyone a little tense. Right now, there is a big fire that swept into Santa Clarita which is … and I am guessing… about 20 miles from here. The smoke from that fire actually closed I-5 down; stranding a few of my co-workers that live up there. From my office, I [...]

Revenge of the Nerds
October 29th, 2003 No Comments
Yeah, this show Pat mentioned is called Joe Somebody. Honestly, our patience is wearing a little thin with this genre, and the European twist is all that’s caught our attention about this new Joe Millionaire. We didn’t like the first one very much, mostly because the women on the show were very tired and the [...]

That was an interesting post about the international Joe Millionaire.
Have you heard about the new one that they are doing? A girl is told that she will go to a mansion and get to choose from many men fighting over her. What she doesn’t know is that they’ve filled the house [...]

Who needs cable?
October 28th, 2003 No Comments
I’m not one to let shutting off my cable stop me from watching too much worthless television, as this post about The NEXT Joe Millionaire seems to attest.
But, wait, maybe there is something valuable about the second series of this “reality” series so crass it dirities everyone involved, including the viewer.
For those that don’t know, [...]

Schuller Shmuller
October 28th, 2003 No Comments
Well, last night I went to see Robert Schuller and his plastic joker smile. I had VIP tickets so I got to go to the very front, past television cameras that were covering the event on HK TV. They were going to have me sign this wall in front of the paparazzi unitl [...]

LA is on Fire
October 28th, 2003 No Comments
I was playing flight simulator and flying into LAX. The visibility was terrible, so those fires must be bad. What’s it like Al? I don’t think the news reports are doing it justice. At least not here. I wrote my cousin who lives in Rancho Cucamonga and I haven’t heard [...]

Tonight!
October 27th, 2003 No Comments
This is what I am going to see tonight. I feel obligated. A Hong Kong friend gave me free V.I.P. tickets and I didn’t have the heart to turn them down. Maybe I’ll get a backstage pass and score.

Keith A Fournier is a constitutional lawyer and a graduate of the John Paul II Institute of the Lateran University, Franciscan University and the University of Pittsburgh. He holds degrees in Philosophy, theology and law.
I really did not know what to expect. I was thrilled to have been invited to a private viewing of [...]

I found this little tidbit at NRO’s The Corner:
Letter to the editor, Rocky Mountain News:
Recently, a co-worker asked me if I had seen the movie Bowling for Columbine yet, I told her absolutely not! My answer surprised her, given the fact my son, Matthew, was one of the 13 murdered during the deadliest school [...]

Mel Gibson’s Lightning Rod
October 25th, 2003 No Comments
Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus in Mel Gibson’s controversial film The Passion Of Christ.
The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the film’s assistant director Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few hours from Rome.
It was the second time Michelini had been hit by [...]

A Zucker born every minute
October 24th, 2003 No Comments
In the Weekly Standard’s very brief review of Scary Movie 3, Jonathan Last takes a poignant look at the deterioration of the spoof (oddly, no mention of As We Know Ourselves).
A quote:
…Zucker has replaced the Wayans brothers’ crass humping and penis jokes with crass urination and kick-to-the-groin gags. Also, he has jettisoned Shawn and Marlon [...]

Last Flight of the Concorde

No more Concorde. I guess it just couldn’t attract enough business after Phil Collins’ career slumped into the nostalgia act spot on the state fair circuit.

I never thought about it before, but that would, quite literally, be bi-polar, now, wouldn’t it?

I hate my boss
October 22nd, 2003 No Comments
I look forward to quitting next year. My boss is a bi-polar asshead. He gets mad at home, he takes it out on staff. He told one client today how evil and bad the client’s wife is. My boss reminds me of a man who was picked on all his life. When he opened [...]

Disappearing P’s Part Deux

If the Sudanese men have lost their penis, can I assume that some will find theirs again? Or maybe they are reappearing else where?

Regarding the Sudanese, I think they would be thankful they are losing their penises. Imagine the BENEFIT of zero growth population for the Sudan. It would reduce infant AIDS, the spread of future of AIDS, and curb starvation. I think the Zionists would be doing them a favor.
