Starbucks is Open Today (thank the gods!)
Yesterday morning I stood, disappointed and in a moment of disbelief at the doors of my local Starbucks. "Closed", read the sign on the door. I died a little inside. What kind of giant wonderful multinational corporation that provides people with their morning fix is closed on a religious holiday? They're not closed on Eid, or throughout Hannukah, or on the Feast of Beltaine.
Pesky Christians.
Anywho, here are two links I found to be refreshing:
Thomas Friedman of the New York Times on why we need to 'reboot' America [link]
Cracked.com, a comedy website, with a list of victories of Science over Stupidity [link]
Kaplan College
"You could have an exciting career as a Computer Support Specialist!"
Keep trying, Kaplan College. Maybe one of these days you'll find someone that thinks A+ Certification is worth something.
comic relief
The above linked file is a hilarious diversion, submitted for your pleasure. The author of the above invective seems to forget our nation was founded on treason. It is my opinion that he's the kind of person that pleasures himself to gay porn in private, while invoking Leviticus in practice.
Anti-God is fully American.

spam calls
I have recently been the lucky recipient of a multitude of spam calls on my cellphone. They're all a recorded message talking about a warranty on my car, and in a few cases something in spanish I don't understand. I have decided to list the numbers publicly -- if the folks behind the calls don't respect my privacy, I'll go out of my way a little bit to disrespect theirs. I'll even list them in clear text so search engines and spam spiders have an easier time finding them:
410-774-8347 (warranty)
410-774-8323 (warranty)
303-882-4478 (warranty)
206-242-9026 (warranty)
269-768-2354 (warranty)
616-980-2924 (warranty)
231-732-2569 (warranty)
616-980-2900 (warranty)
253-507-9196 (spanish)
More will be added as they (inevitably) call me.
A Convenient vCard of the numbers so far.

"Man: God Ordered Him To Ram Woman At 100 MPH" - an NBC affiliate (www.11alive.com)
"A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a man." Not the man in question apparently. Just a man. Any man.
