Is this too far?

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

A movie to be featured at a film festival in Toronto is based on the Assasination of President Bush. Is this too far? Is it neccessary to use our real president. Couldn’t you make the same point in the movie by using a fake president such as President Palmer played by the Allstate spokesman?

Mark Martin Wins once again

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Mark Martin just dominated the O’Reilly 200 last night at Bristol. Congrats. The train of Tundras was right behind him with Todd Bodine(#30) finishing second helping his run for the championship. If mark was to run the entire season(like he is next year) he would have probably already secured the championship

Deport Elvira Arellano Right Now.

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

We shouldn’t be putting up with this bullshit. She broke the law, she came here illegally, she was told to leave already. We need to take a stand against illegals. If she doesn’t want to be seperated from her son, then take him with. ICE needs to barge right through the church she is hiding [...]

Saga of Office Depot: Part 1

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

After finding a “hot deal” on the Anandtech forums for a 250 GB external Western Digital Harddrive, the fun begins.
Office depot has this hard drive for $169.99 with a $60 rebate. Staples has the drive for $119.98 online with no rebates. So, the goal is to have Office Depot price match this drive to Staples [...]
