Pam Anderson Roast

August 23rd, 2005

1) In the words of Ron Burgundy, Bea Arthur has a dirty, whory mouth.

2) Pam Anderson in a see-through top is the only thing worth 3 minutes of Tommy Lee’s solo music.

3) These Comedy Central roasts are becoming an annoying clique-fest among the same gang of Kimmel/Corolla/Dick/Di Paulo/etc.

4) If Courtney Love was really clean and sober, then she has some serious permanent damage.

 

Coconut Battery

August 23rd, 2005

This is a really cool OS X app that not only shows how much of a charge is left on your iBook or PowerBook battery, but also how much of the battery’s original capacity is left. Over time all laptop batteries gradually lose capacity, but most of the time you can’t tell how much of that life is left.

 

Bush’s fake ranch

August 15th, 2005

This nonsense about President Bush “out on the ranch” has got to stop. First of all, it’s not a real ranch. It’s a small cattle farm that Bush only bought when he started running for the presidency. Before that he no history as a rancher. The whole thing is manufactured set design to provide a backdrop for photo ops of the Bush keeping it real out in boonies.

Second, Bush’s awh shucks Texas manner is a lie. The man was born and raised in Maine and attended private New England boarding schools and an Ivy League university. He’s every bit of the Northeastern Yankee that John Kerry was criticized for being. The Texas accent, mannerisms, and vocabulary are all fake. The ranch is just one of many deceptions carefully crafted to project an image of a character that does not exist in real life.
