Beer + Taxidermy

 K..you can now buy beer bottles sewn into dead animals. I think this takes the crown of weird news

Military gives away 9 billion dollars

Why should Americans get jobs and work hard when we are giving out all this free money to mountain bandits and oil sheiks.This money wasnt lost..it was spent on things the military doesnt want to talk about..like bribes.


$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Starcraft 2 : Firefly meets the nostalgia train

This game is the first in a while that really makes me want to play "just one more mission". I’m quiet satisfied with a purchase I really thought wasnt going to be my cup of tea.

Those who dont learn from history..

400 dead this year (I'm guessing mostly poor kids who joined the army to escape poverty)..and the president who we elected to get us out seems to be just as gungho to stay as the people who got us in. Must be some crashed alien ship out there or one hell of a goat..anyhow Dave Ross had blurb about archived radio from 1965

History is shouting at us!

New undersea critters

Scientists are delving deeper and deeper into our oceans. This weblink has a story with great photos of said creatures..now just imagine them covered in oil..

Sara Gilbert - Lesbian mom

I swear you can predict a woman's sexuality by whether I am attracted to her or not. I loved Sara in Roseanne and found her blond sister's character totally unattractive.  She is basically playing the same character currently on The Big Bang theory.

Sara will be bring the lesbian mum perspective to a View-esk talk show about/for mothers on CBS coming soon to a tv near you,

Sara Gilbert lesbian mom

IMHO the topic of motherhood is a bit overdone on daytime tv. How about a show about all those stay at home father with babies hanging off them that I saw in Cambridge. 

Wall Street Journal and the change in gaming

It has been very sad to watch some of the "worlds" I've spent time in over the last 2 decades change over from quality to quantity as a meter of success. There was a time when a game was suppose to be deep and hard, where there were winners and losers, and it was enough for a company to have a solid group of fans to be a success. As the gaming industry has become more profitable games have stopped beign about a journey to success, which leads to winners and losers, and have rather become a giant fetid pool were everyone gets to bathe. Removing the economic barrier and letting everyone play is great for poor kids I suppose..but its brought the bar down so low that nothing feels like an accomplishment anymore. Now, instead of being good, you can just buy success. The best gear belongs to the people willing to spend the end cash, not the people who took the time to earn it.

Wall Street Journal and F2P

Barf!

This creature is a perfect example of why democracy doesn't work - the average and the less than average will always outnumber the best and the brightest which results in average or less than average leaders or worse.  Palin is beating the same nationalistic drum the Nazi party did and makes loving your country seem seriously distasteful.


Only In Florida

Only in Florida, in the grand Loveline tradition of Florida vs Germany, is where I post news that only could happen in Florida. Here is a case where a robber is talked out of robbing a store by a 20yo cell phone salesman. Her argument - dont rob the store because -Jesus- wouldn't approve. A video clip is included in the link where you can see the robber decked out in black discussing Christ with the salesman.

Only in Florida..

OPSA public initiative idea

Talking dirty

Apparenty some of the more aggressive antimicrobial soaps have chemicals that get absorbed by your body and stick around after use. Personally I've never been keen on the idea of 100% cleanliness. If you wipe and scrub off every germ and pollen your immune system isnt going to develop properly and have the tools to compete when something big comes-a-knocking.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.

-James Bolivar DiGriz
