Not sure if anyone else is keeping up with the new season of The Venture Brothers, but it is one of only three reasons I even bother owning a television. On its own, it’s a great source of music thread material. The chief “villain” is David Bowie and Dr. Venture draws his greatest inspiration from progressive rock, after all. But what really drives the show is Super Science. All of the origin stories, … Read more

Girls Just Want To Have Fun
No doubt everyone caught this story last week about some female IDF soldiers trapesing around in their bloomers. I think our aid package needs to be increased, get those girls some clothes. The usual fall out from the stuffed shirts in headquarters was predictable, and the female soldiers were punished, each got a severe spanking.
But more high jinks has been uncovered, where do I sign up?
A rudimentary perusal of youtube will provide … Read more
Hey Mr DJ: Poor Customer Service Edition
I got a text message from my cell phone provider last week. It said that my corporate discount was due for review and I needed to confirm that I was still employed by the company that had the agreement with the service provider. There was even a helpful (so I thought) phone number to call and a web address to visit.
Easy enough. I started off by calling the phone number. Who I got was … Read more
Hey Mr DJ: Culture Clash Edition
As some of you know, I’m very interested in Generational Theory as described in The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe. The intricacies of their writings are a bit too much to detail here, but as early as 1997 they clearly saw what we were heading for. The future they predicted is happening now and it is as bad as they thought. In fact, worse is coming. Much worse. We cannot stop it, but we … Read more
Putting The “Fat” In Fat Cat
I absolutely love stories like this:
Union fat cat Mark Rosenthal spends more time sleeping at his desk than organizing labor, a series of damning photos reveals.
The 400-pound president of Local 983 of District Council 37 — the city’s largest blue-collar municipal-workers union — often downs a huge meal, then drops into dreamland in the early afternoon, members of the union’s executive board told The Post.

Hey Mr DJ: Sing-A-Long Edition
There I was: reading an online article about the Oklahoma tornado just a couple of hours after the tornado passed through earlier this week. It described how two elementary schools had been hit and I thought, “Oh, no. Not that. That is depressing.”
Then I stupidly scrolled down to the comments section.
Christians who called for prayer were chided by atheists for supporting a god who kills kids. Pro-gun conservatives behaved like shits and asked … Read more
The Good Guys Win, When We Try
You remember Kiera Wilmot, the Florida student who was expelled because she was fooling around with chemicals and unintentionally created an explosion? The one who was facing criminal charges?
Great news. Not only have the authorities dropped the charges, two Crowdtilt campaigns have raised $2500 to send her and her sister to space camp and another $8000 to help with their legal expense (which have apparently been quite heavy). The school has yet to … Read more
Tragedy strikes, but with a name like that…
Not a fan of NASCAR, but I have always told people that Dick Trickle – what an f-ing name, huh? – was the man I would root for if I was into that stuff. So I am saddened to find out that there will not be any more Dick Trickle jokes without making fun of the dead. Guess it is time to find me a new favorite sport’s name.
Anyone know some people with … Read more
