The Daily Rant: Paying for Internet

I was reading an article yesterday about how in the hole YouTube is over maintenance costs and how the entire idea of the internet is starting to break down.  It’s no secret that the internet is not filled with mystical wonders and easy money.  The tech-bubble that burst in the late 90’s had everything to [...]

Parents Just Need to Shut the F*** Up

I read an article today at Slate written by one of their columnists, a mother, about how her son is obsessed with Star Wars.  The article begins as an examination of what exactly it is about Star Wars that appeals to young boys, but it soon crosses over into a diatribe on the ways and [...]

The Daily Rant: The Wire

I don’t have a comic for you this morning.  I had to sprint to work to cover our receptionist.  While I don’t have a comic, I do have something else.  Last night I finished watched the last episode of the last season of The Wire.  I’m a little late to this, but like most people [...]

The Daily Rant: What I’ve Learned About House-Hunting in Los Angeles

I would rarely call my occasional ranting helpful.  I usually talk about politics or movies and opinions I have and, really, that’s serving no purpose other than giving me an outlet to vent frustration (they’re making a new Judge Dredd movie and it had better not suck ass).
I have recently been house hunting for my [...]

The Daily Rant: Do 54 million-dollar pants even exist?

Log this into your personal database of legal triumphs over extreme stupidity- from CNN:
A [Washington D.C.] court Thursday rejected an appeal filed by a former administrative law judge who sued a dry cleaners for $54 million over a missing pair of pants.
I know what must be going through your mind.  This guy, whose name is [...]

Top Gear is my favorite television show ever

This is going to be short and sweet.
I like cars.  I don’t love cars as a whole, though I do love particular ones.  I am in no way a car junkie.  I don’t understand engines nor do I really want to.
But I don’t need to understand something to respect the hell out of it.  And [...]

The Nature of the South, Racism, and Republicans

I just heard the collective sigh/groan/outrage from family members over the title of this post.  I’m about to talk about what is probably the most sensitive issue that plagues what people call “the New South”.  It’s such a sensitive issue to Southerners (black, white, Hispanic, whathaveyou) that most Southerners avoid even the idea of thinking [...]

The Daily Rant: CNN’s gone completely nuts.

So, the only thing to be talked about more than Barrack Obama’s presidential victory on Tuesday November 4th, 2008 was CNN.  See, CNN, in some bizarre move to either advance news-reporting technology or to grab more ratings, debuted a new instrument in their quest for accurate journalism.
FUCKING HOLOGRAMS.
If you were watching CNN the night of [...]

The Daily Rant: The election is tomorrow… thank Christ…

So, there’s this election tomorrow.  Maybe you’ve heard of it.  People in Kiribati have heard about it, so surely you must have (that’s true, by the way… I just picked a random country I’d never heard of to display a joke about how media-drenched this election has been, making it so it’s reached everyone on [...]
