so…here’s a convo from earlier today in my office:
[context: I just finished Angels & Demons and a coworker and I were talking about Bush Sr. being Illuminati]
me: yeah, poppa Bush is Illuminati.
coworker: yikes, that must mean that Jr. is too.
me: I don’t know. Maybe. But that whole “I’m a born-again” thing might be in […]

Military recruiters target schools strategically
I saw this in the page this morning, and I found it very interesting. The military has a strategy to enlist high school students, and approaches the entire thing from a hard sell marketing approach. Now, I’m not retard, and I’m not ignorant, and it’s not a surprise to me that […]

Me: yeah, because Cheney isn’t going to be the VP
J: ummm…what’s in a Republican kit?
Me: you know, a […]

Civilization in ruins
Governor, would you marry me?
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not gay. At least I don’t think so. I mean, I have 42 years of avowed heterosexuality behind me, and enough women who would gladly testify to my physical incompetence and emotional detachment to prove it.
