Molt Be Blog

I was e-mailing this to R and thought it might belong blogged... if only to tell of my amazingly interesting Friday at le office.

Work is really boring, but on the bright side, there was some leftover food from some meeting that they had... but the wrap that I got had mealy cucumbers in it and I almost threw up... not really... about the vomit... yeah... but I did get some pasta salad, which turned out to taste really, really nasty and then I dropped a piece of pasta on my pants and it stained b/c there was balsamic vinaigrette on it or something and now I have some brown shit on my fuckin' pants and I couldn't get it off with just spit and a napkin so I had to go to the bathroom to get some paper towels and when I went in it smelled terrible b/c some big-wig with a corner office was taking a huge dump and he comes out of the stall and I'm sitting there with paper towels inside and outside of the crotch of my pants trying to soak all the water out that I'd put on. Man... that sucked... Luckily, I made it all the way back to my desk without anyone seeing the bigass wet mark on my pants and now it's slowly drying as I write this down.

I've decided that, instead of annoying my coworkers with random stupid questions and thought, I'd start writing them here, while I think of them... this process will probably last upwards of one day...

Do you think that doctors wantpatients to get sick? I mean, they'd make more money if the patient had some disease that required them to come in more than once a year, so wouldn't they prefer sick patients. I'm sure there are cases our there of doctors giving there patients stuff, but I'm sure there's something in the hippocratic oath thingy that would make them promise not to... hmmm..

Rumsfeld sez: "We're not being attacked by WMD. We're being attacked by terrorists." What I wonder, is: if we never went there in the first place chasing WMD, would there be terrorists attacking people in Baghdad? Were there Iraq terrorists killing US citizens before the war started

Now I'm watching and listening as Donald Rumsfeld is comparing post-war Iraq to Post war Germany. You can watch too HERE, but it'll be over in about 30 seconds, I'm guessing.

Today in the News:

Yahoo! Fox nearly sued itself over 'Simpsons' parody: Matt Groening.
I remember that episode! I thought it was hilarious. The study that's linked to below about 83% of Fox news regualar watchers having at least 1 misconception about the Iraq war seems to give some weight to their conservative reputation, but that doesn't mean they can't sue themselves to prove themselves liberal, right?.

and then there's this:

Report links Iraq deals to Bush Donations.
As if no one expected that the companies donation to the campaigns would benefit somehow. Wow! What surprising news!

A Random Factoid Found Using Google
Do you know where the name Dick comes from?
People named Richard
had nicknames like Rick
Then people did rhyming
and came up with Dick

fascinating isn't it?
My guess is that this is the same way we got Bill from Will from William.

Some British guy is going to run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. Neat. I'm so bored with work I can hardly think of anything amusin... wait... I can't... oh no.

I'm still not sure if I want Cuba to turn into the next Cancun, but when the
U.S. Senate votes to deny Cuba travel ban funding, I feel like things might be turning around (politically, at least). I always thought the US position on Cuba was useless, costly and dumb and now some people on the hill have my back. Word.

Earthjustice: Job Opportunities

Bush, Powell and Condi Rice were on a big pr campaign to talk about how we're winning the war on terror and how well things are going in iraq. But the Oct. 16th leaked Rumsfeld memo raises some good questions that throw doubt at the spin Bush and pals are putting on the current state of affairs.
My favorite quote (besides most of the ones mentioned in the press):
My impression is that we have not yet made truly bold moves, although we have have made many sensible, logical moves in the right direction, but are they enough?
Whoa, if "shock and awe" wasn't bold, what the hell is? Who is this guy? Nevermind the fact that he used "although" and "but" in the same phrase, he also uses the word 'behinder'... which isn't a word. I love it.

US arrests Canadian and deports him to Syria for suspected terrorism. Just plain retarded.

Plunger acted on impulse.
This Niagra falls jumping guy article writes its own hilarity.

Watch this video of a bus crash and report from Today. Seatbelts on buses seem a bit unecessary to me, given that there were no serious injuries and not having them makes for very amusing footage.

Here's a transcript of one of the sniper suspects opening statements. My recommendation: If you're trying to defend yourself, don't say things about the prosecution in relation to the crime like "We know something happened. They wasn't there. I was. I know what happened." (can be read on page 3 of the transcript).

In July, the White House (and others) predicted budget deficits of at least $408 billion.
Then they come out with the actual deficit of $374.2 billion In October. Then they say that this shows how fantastically the Bush economic plan is working. I've got one for you: I predicted that I'd spend $6 Million dollars this week, but that, given a new economic spending plan, I now can reduce that number by $5,999,983. Won't you all be amazed with me come Friday when I've only spent $17?!? I'll get all your votes in the upcoming election, you'll be so amazed.

Not much for blogging today. Went to see a lecture at the National Museum of Natural History. I fell asleep. It was a slide show... so it wasn't really my fault. I can't stay awake for slide shows. It's a condition. So now I'm stuck at work late and trying to get a through a big batch of files. Thereby I have little time to write something that only I will ever read. Check this out in the meantime.

There's this fanatic general who wants to kill your god if it's not his god. And somebody is putting suspicious stuff on airplanes to test their security. It's about time somebody gave them a wakeup call as to how bad the security really is, though this isn't the way they should've done it. It's all about the illusion of safety.

Well... the yankees won game 7. What's new? Who cares?
