Apparently, Ellis Henican knows that the people he was on the A-train with are not responsible and will most likely kill other people if they have guns. So, from now on, I guess we need to pass everything by Ellis Henican. Everybody got it? If you want a gun, you should arrange a meeting with Ellis and let him determine whether or not the Constitution applies to you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Who is Ordie you ask?  Well, apparently he is an asshole who thinks RP supporters will consider voting for McCain (or even dull enough to think that he is not just a McCain supporter trying to muster votes).  When you have to invent campaigns - after the primaries - to get votes from a chunk of your own party something is way off.  Let's just hope McCain never finds out about MA  read more »

Well, we had a good time while it lasted, but it seems the tax-free internet sales will be coming to an end.

My prediction about the New York thing: Internet retailers will not want to go through all the trouble of registering as a tax collector for New York and they'll just refuse to ship there.  My timing for moving to NYC is just perfect.

So apparently there was a plan for the Census Bureau to actually get off of the current paper system and move to handheld computers.  These would be used by those who have to go searching for the people who didn't respond to the census by mail.

Well, the plan didn't work and now it is going to cost an extra $2.2 - $3 billion and that's "in addition to other costs not associated with the handhelds."

Wow.

I gotta say, I've heard a lot of explanations for how terrorists get funding, but I have never heard of that.

Sometimes when cops learn they killed somebody, they like to get the coroner to change the cause of death.  I think it's kind of a professional courtesy or something.  Those cops.  They're so courteous.

I was a strange lad. Always depressed and crying and whatnot. It was fifth grade and I was the new kid again. I guess the teachers wanted me to feel special so they asked if I would serve my fellow fifth graders by writing them tickets for running in the hallways. I got to wear a bright orange, um sash? It had a badge on it. I was a badass.

Mostly, the only punks that would give me any guff were the fasties, as I called them. Kids that ran everywhere. There was a war on fasties and we were steadfast in our commitment to protect all fifth graders.  read more »

So, this site really is pretty amazing.  Why didn't I think of it?  Maybe it doesn't get read by citizens much, but just knowing that cops around the country are checking the site for their names every day makes me happy.  Hey, if the site gets big enough they might just think before beating up kids. Seriously, I know that all cops aren't assholes like Officer ShortShorts, but healthy consumer action is always a good thing.  read more »

Why do I constantly find myself on the opposite side of "conservatives?"

Pardon my reckless localmindedness on this here national blog, but I am just extremely disappointed in my home state's republican primary results.  read more »
