I can’t figure out if this guy “Dick Doper” is serious with his blog or just mocking the far-right loonies. I think that the latest post about pink light atop the Hancock tower in Chicago tips the balance in favor … Continue reading →

This is another one of those random finds, I was looking for pictures of Warmachine minis from the game and stumbled across this great political image that AZRainman did of good ol’ Dubya. Check out his Photoshop Satire blog for … Continue reading →

Credit card companies like Chase and Captial One can just bite me. I was carrying a balance on two different cards at decent, single-digit fixed interest rates (which is what I agreed to when I signed up for the cards) … Continue reading →

My old friend SicPreFix linked to this site, I was amazed at how one-sided the world vote was. Anyone in the world could cast a vote for McCain or Obama. While not scientific or random it’s still very interesting.

Why do people insist on getting worked up over stupid things? These four buildings at the Coronado naval base are really just for L-shaped buildings put into a circle but some folks are all up in arms about how it … Continue reading →

Not Their Finest Hour is an interesting read on the state of education in England, albeit with a conservative American bias. I stumbled across the article while doing a search for the etymology of the phrase “can’t win for losing” … Continue reading →

This was a great satirical article by Terry Jones (yes, from Python) about Bush commuting Scooter Libby’s sentence. Article here on the Guardian Unlimited. Here’s a nice quote from the middle of the article: Mind you, Bush’s softening of heart … Continue reading →
