Daily Kos: SCREW CNN (w/ graphics) [PG edition]
This is kind of funny. This guy photoshops out all the ads and fluff pieces on the CNN home page which leaves, very little.
CNN is a scourge. It leads our nation to stupidity. Unlike FOX, which we KNOW is bad,
Why do people constantly bash Fox? I watch Fox News. In fact, it's really the only TV news channel I watch. I watch Fox & Friends in the morning as I'm waking up, and Bill O'Reilly at night. When I want an update on what's happening in the world, I'll turn it on. I really don't get why people bash Fox all the time. Is it a "right wing" station? I never felt so. Does it maybe have more "right" people on, possibly so. But, seeing how most other stations (news, talk shows) have "left" wing people on I don't think it matters that Fox doesn't have the same to say as everyone else.
I generally use different news sources online, hear opinions and make up my own mind. But, I really don't see what's wrong with Fox News and if people bash it because others do, or they have actually experienced them being right-biased.
Oh, and Fox News has the best looking female on-camera personality (except Greta, who I can't stand).

Five More Money Mistakes to Avoid: Money Matters - Yahoo! Finance
I tried watching this Suze Orman on TV a few times, and just couldn't sit through her show. I am money-minded, so thought I'd get some good info. But, she seemed more like a Dr. Phil no-real-advice money therapist. I guess maybe I didn't watch enough of her, but what I did watch would go like:
Caller: "I am 20k in debt"
Suze: "Why are you in so much debt?"
Caller: "I shop a lot"
Suze: "You shouldn't shop so much, it gets you into debt. Next caller..."
So, I read the linked-to article (and one linked to in there) by her hoping I'd find some good info. Here are the 5 blunders. Let's see if any are rocket science:
1. Funding early retirement with a home equity line of credit.
Wow! So, you shouldn't use debt to fund a stable future. Hmmm... I guess I should stop funding my IRA with money I borrow from the loan shark.
2. Not paying off the mortgage early.
I think if people could pay if off early, they would. Nobody wants a mortgage. She talks about how men somehow like paying a mortgage because of the tax break. I guess that's true. I recall countless night sitting around with the guys watching porn and drinking Scotch talking about how we love our expensive tax shelters and LOVE paying our mortgages every month. The conversation is so old, it bores me!
3. Neglecting to make a will.
I've mentioned before I want to make a will. Between Bird Flu and my upcoming trip to swim with sting rays, I have a pretty high risk life. This is surely a blunder people make and I think people know it.
4. Refusing to take the investing long view.
I don't know of any financial advisor who says not to think of the long term with their investments. I think people who invest know they should go long, but don't because we have the patience of a gnat.
5. Assuming the role of the family's sole money manager.
Is this a blunder? I don't know, I think it would depend on the people. I think the real blunder is allowing someone else people the sole money manager.
So, no real insight there. Pretty much like I saw on the show. You can also read her 12 common money mistakes, which I also didn't see much non-logical thinking.
Ok.. I'm sure someone out there watches this woman. Maybe someone could explain to me what's so great about Suze.
I despise Ann Coulter. I think she's said one thing I agree with (something on immigration I think, which I'd be considered "consertative" about). But, basically I think this long armed alien of a woman is evil.
Anyways, if you haven't heard about her comments about a few 9/11 widows in her new book, you'll hear them in this clip. And, I like how Olbermann gives her a smackdown.

I read one account that these two were being hung because they were gay. One account said they abused (molested?) a younger child. Who knows, I'm sure the Iranian legal system isn't very in-depth and hanging for being gay, or thought to be gay isn't far fetched at all. One of them is under 18.
My 'source' for who they are is from some Iranian blogs. Blogs may not be the best source for truth, but the photo does show two younger boys about to be hung. Sickening.
Oklahoma city threatens to call FBI over 'renegade' Linux maker | The Register
City Manager with "22 years in computer systems engineering and operation" threatens OS maker that he will call the FBI because they hacked his webserver.
Their homepage was displaying the standard Apache "you're website is running" boilerplate page.
The man with "22 years in computer systems engineering and operation" thinks this is the OS makers hacking his site (with a web page saying how to "fix" the problem).
The man with '22 years in computer systems engineering and operation" finally contacts his hosting provider.
Hosting provider says it is indeed their problem.
Man with "22 years in computer systems engineering and operation" tells OS maker that they should have helped fix the problem, they didn't cause, sooner.
This is the man with "22 years in computer systems engineering and operation" .. and here is the website (still not fixed, as of this writing).
Funny stuff. I always liked it when people whose engineering experiece was on punch cards and FoxPro from 30 years ago always know the heart of a problem dealing with technology they wish people thought they understood. Or, even worse, they actually think THEY understand.
Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston
This thing is just freaky. It looks like it was actually someone making a sex doll for themself, someone caught them, and they were like "Um.. er... uhhhh.. no no no.. it's a monument to Britney Spears! Yeahhhhhh... that's the ticket!" followed by the sound of his pants zipping up.
To further lend to my theory...
A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a ‘first’ for Pro-Life. Pop-star Britney Spears is the “ideal” model for Pro-Life
...
Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears’ baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career.
I mean, what a load of crap is that? Britney Spears isn't a poster child for Pro-Life.. she is a poster child for not using birth control and getting knocked up. She didn't put her family before her career. Her career was basically spiraling downhill one she married K-Fed, starting eating boxes of Ho-Ho's by the dozen, and became less appealing to the 12 year old girls and 40 year old men which liked her.

.. is worth a frivolous lawsuit. A woman was at Lowe's when a bird flew into her head causing a whole lot of unbelievable damage which she wants $50k for. The bird wasn't actually in the store, either. She was in the outside.. let me repeate that... OUTSIDE garden center.
Damn those birds not learning boundaries!! Just because it's outside doesn't mean they can fly there dammit!!
Port St. Lucie Homes of Shame is a website started by a PSL resident unhappy with the lack of code enforcement in PSL. In many towns, about all in South Florida I believe, have some fairly strict codes. Coral Springs, where I lived, had a few strict ones. For example, you can't paint your home unapproved colors. You can't park a truck or van with a company logo on it in your driveway. And, you can't let your grass get too long. Those are just city ones.. not to mention home owners association rules.
Well, this guy got tired of seeing his town starting to look run down. Unmowed lawns, debris in peoples yards, etc... The things which codes are for, keeping your town pretty and respectable. He was also tired of the city council not enforcing the codes, and even features the mayors home on his site. I like his idea, and what he's doing. When your tax dollars go to code enforcement, there should be code enforcement.
I honestly don't know what sort of codes, if any, are in my town. It's a rural area. There aren't many HOAs, but there are "deed restrictions"... which I'm unclear of their actual legality in enforcement. For example, someone put up a chain link fence, which isn't allowed. The builder made him cover the street facing portion with a wood fence. I like the no chain-link rule. I know of the normal rules like picking up your dog crap and leash laws. But, don't think there is anything related to home colors or the state of your landscaping.
Anyways... I think what this guy is doing is a cool thing to help bring attention to local problems and help force change.
Using Google Maps and viewing the satellite images is kind of fun. Take NYC for example. I can scroll the map until it gets to where I live (which takes a while).

Spamshirt.com makes t-shirts out of, well, SPAM. You tell them a subject from a piece of SPAM you got (or choose one of theirs) and they put it on a shirt for you. Cute idea.

Peope asking when you will be completely off it would annoy you.
That reminds me, I still need a No, I will not fix your computer shirt to wear at family gatherings.

This is pretty cool. I've actually thought over the last year or so that it would be fun to do a large scale scavenger hunt. I haven't done one since college, which was also very fun. The ones organized on the above site is answering questions, and not finding items.
I wonder if anyone has arranged hunts where the teams aren't local to eachother. Two (or more) cross state/country teams which have to get certain items, and photos. The team to get the most in a certain amount of time wins. I think it's doable.

CNN.com - The Internet at 35: Still evolving - Aug 29, 2004
The Internet is turning 35. The article has a brief history. Al Gore is not mentioned.
Passed on from my cousin. It's basically a summary of studies which show that the more intelligent you are, the less "religious" you are.
Why does this correlation exist? The first answer that comes to mind is that religious beliefs tend to be more illogical or incoherent than secular beliefs, and intelligent people tend to recognize that more quickly. But this explanation will surely be rejected by religious people, who will seek other explanations and rationalizations.
A possible counter-argument is that intelligent people tend to be more successful than others. The lure of worldly success and materialism draws many of these intellectually gifted individuals away from God. After all, who needs God when you (apparently) are making it on your own?
In my years of schooling, I certainly don't remember many (any) people saying "From the grace of God, I got an A!" Most would be "I studied my ass off and got an A!"

Blockbuster now does what Netflix does, for $2 less a month. They also seem to throw in 2 free rentals a month from their stores. There is no Blockbuster near me, so that doesn't matter though.

Anyone use, or know anyone using, the Blockbuster service?

E-mail Confidential - Who's afraid of Time Inc.'s legal disclaimer? By Jack Shafer
This article is a good disection of those worthless disclaimers some companies add to the bottom of emails. Whenever I see one of these in my inbox, I always chukle. First, you can't tell me something is confidential AFTER I have read it. If I don't agree to keeping something private, I need the choice of doing so before reading it. Second, if something is sensitive, encrypt it. Sending plain-text "confidential" email means you expect the receiver not to do anything with it, nobody to be sniffing and reading it in transit, and server admins not directly looking at the mail spool. Third, unless I have signed some sort of NDA with the person(s), once it is in my inbox, it's mine. I can print it, copy it, forward it to my friends or send it out as a holiday card.
The article is a fun read. If your company attaches these things to your emails, you should tell them it's worthless. All it does is add bulk to the emails for no good reason.

FOXNews.com - Foxlife - Study: Workers Should Stay Home Sick
The study shows the obvious.. people who come into work sick cost the company more money than when they don't. I, personally, get sick on average of once a year. I mean stay in bed sick. I'll get a head cold maybe once a year, or possibly something may get iffy with my tummy. If I have a head cold, I'll still go into work. I think most people do. Nobody wants to burn sick days because they have to blow their nose! I've had jobs where I could just work from home when I didn't feel good. That's usually the best. I could still do stuff, and not risk getting anyone else sick. If I have a stomach bug, flu or anything that someone else may catch through the air.. I'll stay home. I used to work somewhere that let you have "mental health days". You could always ask your boss if you could have one, or they would tell you to take one, when you have been really busy and you just need a break. They didn't account against vacation or sick days.. basically free days.
Anyways.. Survivor is on..
Stocks dipped because Old Man Interest Rate hinted that rates will rise. They would likely rise sooner than later, since the election is this year and Sept/Oct wouldn't be a good time to do it.
I'm not sure why stocks drop when rates are expected to rise. Rates are at what? 5%-ish? What would they be raised to.. 5.5%? Ooooo... horrrrriiibbbblllleeee. Many of us may be to young to remember, but rates used to commonly be in double digits. If there was to be a sudden rise to 10% or 13%, then I'd see people selling off. But, even if it raised to 6% or 7% it's not too bad. What would be better is to have the cost of building a house be lowered.
I'm not saying I'm "for" rates being raised, but I wouldn't sell off my stocks because of it. I'd sell off stock to pay for the goddam gas prices!

BBC NEWS | Health | Sleep position gives personality clue
What does your sleeping position tell about your personality? NOTHING! However, in another useless study, scientists think they have a glimpse into the ever elusive sleep position and personality riddle.
I'm a cross between yearner and freefall positions when I sleep. I'd guess the personality descriptions could sort of be me.. but so could the log, soldier, starfish and featus. I also don't sleep exactly like the describe.. when in the "yearner" position, my lower arm is usually up under my head somehow... and when in the "freefall" position, my right arm is usually down. So, it's all bullshit.
But, now you know how I sleep.

CNN.com - HK store's Nazi theme sparks fury - Aug. 10, 2003
This chain clothing store thought, in their limited wisdom, that Nazi symbols would be a perfect theme for clothing and decorations. Of course, this pissed off a lot of people for obvious reasons. Deborah Cheng, the companies marketing idiot.. I mean manager... said:
Cheng added that the designer wanted the clothes to have a military theme and did not realize that the Nazi symbols would be considered offensive.
Is this dolt living under a rock? I guess clothing stores in HK don't do much marketing research. They are "considering" taking the things down, but need to find a new theme first. Here are some suggestions for new imagry for themes:
* Burning crosses behind lynched blacks
* A large mushroom cloud over Japan
* Tibetan monks being killed by Chinese soldiers
* A slogan "North Korea Needs 'The Bomb'!"
* Images of praying Muslims falling into hell
* Sacraficing of a baby to the Tree Gods
If Nazi imagry wouldn't be found offensive, these suggestions would certainly be marketing gold!

This is a good op-ed by Maureen Dowd about Tom Ridge. Kelly passed this along to me because of my comments on Ridge last week. The one lines which I really like is:

Go to the site for the video.
This is pretty damn funny. I still think that Missy Eliott fans are the biggest morons (based on a past thread here on the site). But, Insane Clown Posse fans seems to be a close second.

I have a subscription to the printed version of 'The Onion', so I get to some things after it has been online. Some of you may have seen this one, but the article Getting Mom Onto Internet A Sisyphean Ordeal is funny as hell. Not just funny because of how it is written, but funny because probably every GOTF (Geek Of The Family, I just made that up) has had similar experiences.
