Today being the 1st of April, strange things are happening on the Internet. For example, the socialists at The Liberal Avenger have disappeared overnight… they’ve been replaced by real red-blooded Americans. This is good stuff. “Guns Don’t Kill People, Arabs Kill People,” for example. You should take a look before it’s gone. Update: Wikipedia has [...]
What do you think, readers? Do you reckon this man has control issues? Thank God, the man’s wife never signed this contract, but she still married the creep.
I’ve been a Netflix customer for about four months now, and I’ve rented thirty DVDs in that space of time, an average of 7.5 DVDs a month. That’s not a whole lot (although I’ve gone through several periods of inactivity from being out of town so damn much). But it seems that Netflix is penalizing [...]
Well, Bill O’Reilly and John Gibson can claim a decisive victory in the “War on Christmas,” at least in the DC suburbs. Today is the 3rd of January, and the wretched Muzak system in my apartment building is still cheerfully blaring Christmas tunes, all your favorites. Let’s see how long this lasts.

Is District Court Judge Richard A. Palumbo the dumbest judge ever, or is he just a major-league asshole? You decide. Here’s what happened: Three weeks before Yvette Cade was doused with gasoline and set on fire, allegedly by her estranged husband, a Prince George’s County judge dismissed the protective order Cade had against him, despite [...]
