…John Evander Couey, a piece of human filth who raped a nine-year-old girl (probably repeatedly) in 2005, then buried her alive and left her to die and who was later given the capital sentence for his vile deeds, did us all a favor by dropping dead yesterday. He managed to show a little initiative at last, and did it […]

How to mark a comment as NOT spam in WordPress
In case you ever need to do it yourself. It’s stupidly easy. Basically it involves changing the word “approved” in the location bar to “spam”, selecting the comment you want to unspam, and clicking approve. You don’t need Akismet, and you don’t need to hack your database. Nice.
Ah, Islam, the religion of pieces
Part of Indonesia has joined the great enlightenment by passing a stoning law for adultery. Good! Because if there’s one thing that stupid men with small penises can’t possibly condone, it’s their wives boinking other men. (Offhand I don’t know of any man who has ever been killed under any adultery law anywhere.) It’s also now illegal […]
Café scrawlings
I know, I know. Beasts of Delphos. I know! I will get back there. Crossconversting some parts of the text to HTML proveth tricky. Besides, I spent most of this week down with what I strongly suspect was the flu, and not just any flu, but H1N1 itself. Why? Well, it hit me fast, and it hit me hard. Wasted […]
Changing the default browser in TweetDeck from Firefox to anything else (Ubuntu Linux)
Just a quickie. While you can change general system settings for your default browser systemwide in Linux (Ubuntu) by going to System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications, this does not affect how TweetDeck behaves when loading URLs. I’ve been using Epiphany because of my somewhat-laggy netbook, so having Firefox load whenever I used TweetDeck was getting old. Searching the […]
Health care? Who needs it?
Arizona has its own health care system, AHCCCS, that is supposed to either take the place of or be supplemental to Medicare. I’m not actually sure what the rationale was for setting it up lo these many years ago, and it seems a little odd just from an economy-of-scale perspective. Medicare has to have more buying […]
H1N1 flu shots coming in October!
I assume those of you who oppose “socialized medicine”, “Obamacare” and general single-payer or public health won’t be getting vaccinated. Since, after all, it’s gummint medicine you’d be getting as opposed to something created in the “Free Market” three years too late and at a cost-per-dose equal to a house payment. Good. The sooner you assholes drop […]
Just to clarify on the Beatles’ Live and Let Die
The lyric is not …in this ever-changing world in which we live in… It is …in this ever-changing world in which we’re livin’… Got it? Good. Now, after forty years, you can rest easy. Let the topic be closed until this planet is scorched into ash by our own sun. On this ever changing world on […]
Hello, California.
Just a YouTube message for you. I know you’re nearly as heavily armed as we are here in Arizona, so, you know. Kay? Kay. Buh bye now.
