a total waste of time

Yesterday on the way to work I heard the beginnings of a Presidential press conference. No biggie I figure, more senseless chest thumping. Then Bush calls on Helen Thomas. Bush hardly ever calls on her, since he knows she’ll ask some scorching questions.
And so she did.
Here’s the exchange of question and halfass answer
Now if only there were more questions like this, oh maybe just over 3 years ago.
I just picked up a copy at Fry’s for $20. Holy shit its addictive.

The much touted “Operation Swarmer” assault in Iraq apparently wasn’t all it was hyped to be. For one, apparently no shots were fired. In addition, no one seems to have been caught.
No wonder the Iraqi units that are still woefully unprepared could lead this assault.

Sometimes you’ll see on TV the concept of pot laced candies. Weeds, a hilarious comedy on Showtime, is the more recent item referencing this I’ve seen lately. I never took it seriously though, that sounds like an awful lot of work although I could see how it could be a good way to conceal things.
Lo and behold, this shit really exists. The Yahoo story below discusses the DEA bust of the group.

Even crazier, over at The Smoking Gun, there’s pictures of the actual products.
That stuff looks professional. I’m impressed.
I guess its not an urban legend after all.

Today, the United States can rack up debt on the order of $9 trillion dollars. That’s awesome. The juice (interest) on that sucker is gonna be out of this world. But who cares? That’s a problem for later….like in 20 years when all the baby boomers are old and bitching about their Social Security checks not being big enough.
Granted, you can’t just default on Treasury notes. That’d cause a complete financial meltdown. Since the USD is still the benchmark currency for the world, this has to be done. It would have been nice if there were some rules set forth that would FORCE the administration AND Congress to cut spending. Porkbusters maybe?
This isn’t a Republican problem. This isn’t the Democrat’s fault either. Its BOTH their faults. The Republicans are approving the spending. The Democrats aren’t making big enough of a stink about this.
I remember when Republicans used to be about minimizing government, and when Democrats used to implement massive government bureaucracies. It seems things have shifted lately.
Paying for the present by stealing from the future
How about swapping the sandwich buns with a yummy Krispy Kreme donut?
Donut + bacon + hamburger meat + fixings sounds like it’d taste funky. The super sweet taste of the donut combined with the meaty goodness of bacon and random assorted cow parts. Only 1,000 calories too.
If you consume this amazing display of gluttony, please be aware that some of us are trying to keep ourselves healthy. You’re stealing our health care dollars, one way or another. Stop being an ass.

When will we learn to outgrow our differences and keep characters like Chef alive in pop culture?
If you’ve been into the whole “world domination” mentality for a while, I’m sure you’ve been using Google Maps to plan your trips to the world domination store. Nothings more embarrassing than going to the store, and ending up at a Bed Bath and Beyond instead.
Now Google is going to help you plan out your invasion of Mars. How you say? By creating Google Mars, now you can be sure you’ll be able to visit all the probes already on the planet, along with finding a nice cave to hide in and place your patented planet destroyer.

I’ve been told it makes me look like I’m paranoid.
I am. But that’s beside the point. Check out this guy who tore up a credit card app, taped it back together, filled it out with a different address, and STILL got a valid card.
