Somebody stop the world, I want to get off!

Seriously, is it just me or is there something terribly wrong with people on this planet?

First of all, why in the name of all that's holy (or not as the case may be) are we still hearing about Paris Hilton? Who the fuck cares how she's doing in jail? Who cares that she's in jail? She's a walking disaster area who needed to be locked up since apparently no one in a position to do so ever told her "no" to anything she wanted! I'm sorry, but I don't care how much money your daddy makes. You violate probation, you go to jail. Yes she should be in jail, no I don't want to hear about it any more. Please!

Next, Paul McCartney's latest album is being released on the Starbucks label. A coffee shop has a record label? If this isn't a clear sign that the recording industry is dead, I don't know what is. I also think it's a pretty clear sign that Sir Paul is dead too. Of course, he's been dead for years. No, wait, I'm thinking of the Beatles that actually had talent. They're the ones who are dead! That's right...

And of course, the perennial favorite. If I said the words "attorney general," "firing," "subpoena," and "testify before congress," in reference to current events, what year is it? That's right folks, 1973! Yours truly was a mere 16 days old, and events that would take place 33 years later were already playing themselves out. Why in GOD'S name are we not impeaching this madman? I commend to all of your reading United States V. George W. Bush et al.. We can get an indictment. He deserves it. What's stopping us?

So I'm sending out a plea to all those who lead the country and who keep us informed of what's going on. Stop pandering to celebrities, corporations, and political safety. Lead for a change. Help us all to stop wallowing in this ridiculous nonsense!

Here's a fun trick. Type "pa" into your google toolbar and see what top hit's come up first. You guessed it. Paris Hilton is #3.

"par" gives Paris Hilton at #1
"lin" give Lindsey Lohan at #6
"ols" gives Olsen Twins at #1
"a" gives American Idol at #2

See a trend here?

I've started to hold out some vague hope for the next presidential elections. At least, unlike the last time, it looks like I'll have enough choices to make voting in the Democratic primary worth my while. Last time I was so non-plussed with my choices for Democratic nominee that I voted in the Republican primary just so I could have the pleasure of voting against Dubya twice in the same year (which had the unfortunate side effect of putting me on the Republican mailing list. Although I've often entertained the idea of showing up at some of the party events I get invites to just to blow their minds). Don't get me wrong, I like John Kerry just fine. I just think it's an indication of how badly people wanted to get rid of Bush even in 2004 that Kerry did as well as he did. Speaking as a fellow tall, funny-looking egghead, he just wasn't electable. So at this point it looks like it will be Obama vs. Clinton for the Democratic nomination (although lord knows ...

Springing Backwards

I hate daylight savings time. I really do. Maybe it's a silly thing to hate, but it has always seemed utterly pointless to me. And now the additional monkeying around we're doing with this already absurd device is making it even more pointless. IT departments all over the country are having to scramble to reprogram all the automatic clock settings on all the computers everywhere. At my own work, after the patches were applied we all had to go into our calendars and manually move all of the appointments from March 11th through April 8th one hour earlier, since the patch advanced all the times that were already in the system. This has got to be costing millions nationwide. And for what? Apparently the goal is to get a jump on the amount of time people are using lights and thereby save energy costs. Putting aside the fact that with a stroke of the pen congress could mandate 45 mpg minimums for vehicles and thereby save a heck of a lot more energy, how much are we really sav...
