Irony and Free Speech
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8181018/ I am amazed at how very little news coverage this story has gotten. The Republican leadership takes it upon themselves to illegally end a Congressional hearing, turning off the microphones while the Sensenbrenner was talking. I find it funny that they choose to t...

The root of all evil?
I was reading back over the post I made the other day to the 'What do you do?' thread. Particularly, I kept reading over a statement I made; I said that I feel that I'm underpaid for what I do. Rereading over that a few times I decided that it was a rather obnoxious statement to make. The more I sta...

First off, as a side note - I'm very happy to see how well 32 has been doing for himself lately. Good for you 32. I continue to be in charge of Verizon's FiOS program in California. FiOS is the name they gave for the fiber to the premises project. Don't try to make sense of the acronym, it means not...

It's very possible that this wasn't a finger off a living person. A friend of mine who works at UCLA tells me that it's (relatively) easy to get body parts off a cadaver, especially insignificant ones like a finger if you know how to go about it. Or... to quote John Goodman in The Big Lebowski "...

I wouldn't change a damn thing. I have given this some thought in the past and I would leave everything just as it is now. Are there things that I would do differently if I knew then what I know now? of course. But on the other hand, I have a good life and I'm happy. Why change anything in the past ...

The rumors of my emasculation have been grossly exaggerated.
Yes... I'm still here. I have been incommunicado almost indefinitely thanks to Verizon's fiber to the prem project that I have the dubious honor of spearheading the testing stages of. That combined with an hour or two of CoH every day has left me basically unable to do much of anything beside shower...
