As a follow-up to yesterday’s comment about the conspicuous absence of PETA in the Denver Pit Bull Round-up, it’s interesting to note that… PETA Kills Animals. From their “did you know”: From July 1998 through the end of 2003, PETA killed over 10,000 dogs, cats, and other “companion animals” — at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That’s [...]
My original comments on The Huffington Post may have fallen victim to having too small a sample space — what originally seemed like a fairly balanced (if a bit slanted) place has turned into a crazy leftist cave for the moonbats to hang in while the sun is up. Of course, there are still a [...]
This week Denver police have been rounding up pit bulls to be killed. Not just the dangerous ones, not the ones who have attacked people, not ones trained to be dangerous… just pretty much any pit bull. Because they’re now illegal. Folks, dogs — not even pit bulls — are killing machines. Unless they’re raised that [...]
I’ve been keeping an eye on The Huffington Post and so far I’m liking it — they have a pretty good mix of issues, ideas, perspectives. There are some liberals running around but also some conservatives. It seems like more libs than conservatives, but that happens. Anyway, I really thought the exit poll conspiracy meme was [...]
After our big bust in terms of apartment hunting at Indiana, we were a little at a loss for what to do, because we really didn’t want to make the trek back. Well, we did look at some apartments that looked nice, but they didn’t have any of those left. As we were talking with [...]
Conspicuously absent in my Anti-iPod post was the fact that if you get an iPod your two options for music are a) iTunes, b) ripping from CD, or c) Finding “other” ways to get music that isn’t DRMed. Luckily, that point was picked up well by Hilary Rosen. (Yes, the Hilary Rosen of the RIAA) The [...]
Intro: Once you start reading blogs, it’s tough to stop. They’re addicting, entertaining, and (if you pick the right ones) informative. And with the amount of time that we spend on the computer in our day-to-day lives… they’re pretty convenient, too. This is before we even begin to delve into their use as a procrastination tool. [...]
Matt has discussed this before, but google failed me because, surprise, Matt uses the words “50″ and “majority” in roughly 3/4 of his posts. Anyway. Have you ever given thought to the different ways that “majority” is defined? Matt points out that some people say 51%. They may say it, but very rarely do they actually [...]
If you have a theory, get thousands of scientists to agree, and then create a documentary… you’d expect you should be able to get it on the air, right? Well, not in Canada if you’re trying to suggest that the Kyoto Protocol is crap. The story was incredible: it documented scientists–from Canada–speaking out against the $10-billion [...]
I was chatting on the phone with my mom to wish her a happy mothers day, and the following conversation took place: Pete: So, have you been reading Ryan’s Blog? Mom: Well, no… I live with him, and he talks a lot. Mom: I mean, I go to the bathroom to get away, and he’ll stand outside [...]
