It’s easy to make the world’s most awesome-est video game ever, combining every known game mode, more mini-games than other titles have enemies, the end-all-be-all of graphics engines, and the most funny, scary, and hilarious story ever written. All you have to do is: (1) announce that you’re doing it, (2) burn through millions of dollars jerking off for a decade, and (3) be sure to name it Duke Nukem Forever (DNF). Continue reading →
The director general of the BBC admitted that his news organization had a “massive bias to the left”. I could easily agree with his statement were he talking about last week, but he was talking about the BBC decades ago. Oh yeah, I guess that explains all that favorable coverage of conservative causes I’ve seen on the BBC in recent… um… never.
It’s positively repugnant the way journalists and politicians draw moral equivalence between Israel and Palestinians. You’d think the comparison between a functioning democratic state that allows Arabs to live freely within her borders and a bunch of thugs who won’t admit Jews have a right to exist would be framed a bit differently.
Maybe this will help, insofar as those peace-loving Palestinians are again slaughtering innocents, including a pregnant woman! Immediately before peace talks are scheduled! Naturally, fellow peace-seeking Palestinians decried the attack, by which I mean they celebrated the murders with dancing in the streets.
There is no moral equivalence to the middle east conflict, folks. There is Israel and there are monsters who wish her destroyed utterly. That land will know peace only when war has settled the question with finality. If what we’re currently witnessing is the “peace process”, then I’d say it’s long past time to let slip the dogs of all-out war.
I need a bank that doesn’t suck, so I’m casting about for suggestions. And more to the point I’m seeking a credit card that actually works. I got fed up with Discover because their security was a joke, and right now I’m mad enough at U.S. Bank to spit nails over the stupidity of their fraud detection software/personnel. I’ll provide more details after the jump, but in the meantime can anybody recommend a bank that doesn’t suck? Continue reading →
As I began reading Michelle Malkin’s “Which party is the fat cat party?” blog post, I was expecting that the top ten richest members of congress would probably be split pretty evenly along party lines. Boy was I wrong. As it turns out, no less than eight of the top ten are democrats. More telling, the wealthiest members of congress have been growing all the wealthier while the private sector is getting creamed by the Obama-idiot’s dithering and policies. We’re long overdue for Reagan Revolution II: The Return of Capitalism.

That’s the great thing about the political left: you can always count on them to live up to their ideals of tolerance, diversity, etc. Take John Cusack, for example, who wishes for a Satanic death cult center at Fox News and for other persons who don’t share his political views. Ah, yes, nothing to see here, folks, just another tolerant leftist. I’m sure the Tea Party made him do it. Or it’s Bush’s fault. Or Reagan’s. Take your pick.
Now here’s something you don’t see these days: a genuine bit of institutional racism overturned. When the race card is played these days it’s usually one of three things:
- A complete lie (e.g., the Duke stripper, Tawana Brawley, etc.)
- A ridiculous exaggeration (e.g., everything reminds Jesse Jackson of Selma)
- Or a diversion (e.g., Charlie Rangel trying to avoid his ethics woes)
But that particular story was outrageous. It’s positively awful that black students were prevented from running for school government positions because of their skin color, and the correction was long overdue. May all such genuinely racist nonsense go the way of the dodo bird and the sooner the better.
Today is my birthday, and I took the day off from work. I wanted to get a few things done around the house, attend to my workout early in the day, and spend a little time playing with some new “toys” to boot. Unfortunately the stuff around the house took longer than anticipated, so I’ve managed to eke out but a single hour of gaming from the day, and I feel like I owe an apology. Continue reading →

Color me disgusted that yet another Catholic priest is guilty of molesting a child. On the up side, the church is actually punishing him for breaking his vow of celibacy. Though now that I think about it maybe that’s only because the affair was strictly heterosexual…
What is it about evil and Germany that makes them as inseparable as white and sugar? It genuinely pains me to raise the question, given that my ancestry is mostly German, but cannibalism is alive and well there if this new restaurant is for real. Of course human embryos/fetuses are a delicacy in certain places in China, so maybe the better question is why such gratuitous evil exists in the first place? Asking that might strike a wee bit too closely to original sin for modern, “civilized” people to believe…
