Folks, let's talk about a menace creeping across the nation. It may already be in your town or province. You may know someone who has succumbed. You may have already fallen victim. I am talking, of course, of "premium vodkas." What is vodka? Well, vodka is a grain alcohol and it can be made with wheat or potatoes, or in a pinch, rice. Here's how wikipedia defines it: Vodka is one of the world's most popular distilled beverages. It is a liquid containing water, ethanol purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as grain or molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances: impurities and possibly flavorings. Except for various types of flavorings, vodka is a colorless liquid. Vodka usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% by volume. The classic Russian and Polish vodka is 40% (USA 80 proof). This can be attributed to the Russian standards for vodka production introduced in 1894 by Alexander III from research undertaken by the Russian chemi...

While the average systems administrator harbors disdain for a large number of professionals, including but not limited to marketing and/or public relations, sales, middle and senior management, she or he reserves a special kind of burning hatred for those freeloaders who call themselves "project managers." The "project manager" is a dangerous beast, and it is incumbent on the systems administrator to deflect, devalue or otherwise avoid the project manager altogether. Project managers are the natural enemy of systems administrators because they are skilled hucksters, con-men and women, do-nothing hangers-on sucking gleefully on the teate of the tech industry. What differentiates them from the other freeloaders, opportunists and ne'er-do-wells who are attracted to that good start-up dollar is that they get in the way of the well-established sysadmin racket. Let me explain. For a long time I struggled to come up with a succinct definition of what my job entailed un...

Right on, Kathy. First, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences snubs the finest TV show ever made, The Wire . Then, they censor Kathy Griffin for her comments accepting an Emmy. Fuck. The. Emmy's. As usual, the same cadre of fat-headed, misogynistic, intolerant Cathlo-fascist creeps are up in arms: Bill Donahue, Pat Robertson, the idiots on Faux News. Does no one see the irony, no, the hypocrisy of the same group of people decrying censorship of Mohamed cartoons and calling for the censorship of statements made against their religion? Well, anyone besides Glenn Greenwald , that is. This all goes to show that the Right is nothing more than a bunch of thin-skinned, alarmist, scared shitless pansies who can't take a joke and feel so insecure in their faith and sexuality as to have to take it out on everyone else (normal, sane people). Fuck YOU Bill Donahue, Fuck YOU Jesus, Fuck YOU Mohamed, and Fuck YOU Emmy's.

I apologize, in advance, for our idiot President and his cabal of right-wing neo-conservative advisers will be bombing the shit out of you for no reason in the next coming days or weeks. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. As you know, I have written my congresswoman and urged her to reconsider impeaching the president and vice president.

I spin and spin between the towers until I am dizzy, and only then do I look up, and the towers collapse in on me . My father famously said that he will forever regret not having photographed these buildings on 9/9/2001 because it was "nothing special." But to Speed Levitch of NY, NY, the towers were a place of worship and he a whirling Derbish. Find pleasure in a cloud or a leaf today, and have a great weekend!

Help us to end Autism -Ronnie James Dio. Having the genius behind Rainbow in the Dark pitch an autism charity is sheer genius. Speaking of autism, have you all seen the reality show where a cross between Jack White and Willy Wonka and his two homo-ambiguous "wingmen" help teach a band of guys with Asperger's how to pick up unsuspecting women? I am talking of course about "The Pick Up Artist" . Personally, I think that teaching the socially awkward about guyliner and highlights is yet more proof of a hidden gay agenda (do you know what the queers are doing to the soil?). OTOH the 1980s is proof that men wearing make-up and glitter get more ass than anyone. I mean, we are talking about an era where Joan Jett looked more manly than the average all-guy hair band (and that I still want to have sex with her, well, what does that say about me?). That said, I am still have reservations about peacocking-up nerds. I also have reservations about teaching nerds to ...

That is why the complete lack of urgency on the part of Congressional Democrats -- their aiding and abetting of this P.R. campaign about how much military progress we are making in Iraq and how Iraqi forces are improving and how we need more time -- is so dangerous, so alarming. The tragedy we have unleashed in Iraq is a fait accompli. ..And the inevitable invasion of Iran is practically a fait accompli if Congress will not strip Dick Cheney and George W. Bush of all of their powers. This cannot happen. Moreover, it is my opinion that an invasion of Iran, in addition to being a disaster for the United States, would be a catastrophe for Israel; and the entire world.
