Are you being deprived of your God-given right to waste valuable company time on Facebook in the office?
Well, give it to The Man by downloading this application that makes Facebook look like a spreadsheet.

Remember when beauty pageants were a big deal?
Those broadcasts were ratings gold. Mom, Pop, and the whole family would gather around the Sylvania TV set in the living room to watch 50 contestants — in one-piece bathing suits, representing all that is good, wholesome and sacred in American womanhood — parade around the stage with poise.
They would be herded like show animals. They...
Rep. Anthony Weiner’s woes caused by a Twitter...
Oh, the @ of it all! D it!
Rep. Anthony Weiner’s troubles — sending pictures of his junk to the public Twitter feed, lying about it, and then admitting it while refusing to quit his day job — were caused by the mistake nearly every Twitter user makes at lease once, the Huffington Post reports.

I hate to be the guy to say “I told you so,” but I’m going to do it anyway.
We learned yesterday that Facebook had rolled out yet another privacy violation — automatic facial recognition technology that would tag you in pictures you didn’t know about — without telling anyone.
I wrote this:

Fourteen soldiers returning home from Afghanistan were charged $200 each for carrying additional bags on their flight.
They made a video about it.
They weren’t happy.

No bodies? Gee, psychics are usually so accurate
Stop your digging and start your dogging.
The Liberty County Sheriff’s office and the Beaumont FBI office look kinda silly tonight after jumping the gun on a fairly credible report that there were 25-30 dismembered bodies at a Hardin, Tx, home. A fairly credible report… from a psychic, that is.

Stop me if you’ve read this before…
Music legend Willie Nelson has been fined $500 and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphenalia, Fox and TMZ say.

Your privacy: Facebook changes the rules YET AGAIN →
I realize that you love Facebook more than anything in the world. Nothing makes you happier than to play games, “like” photos and generally wasting hundreds of hours a month with people without actually having any contact with them.
But you should be getting sick and tired of the company pulling the privacy rug out from under you. Every four months, it seems, the company changes a...

The Dash Diet has been selected as the most effective and healthiest diet by 22 health experts. One reason — it significantly impacts blood pressure, reducing it in two weeks, in some instances.
You’ll need lower blood pressure if you spend any time reading about lying Congressmen, their Weiners and porn stars; Sarah Palin, Alaska’s human punching bag, who doesn’t know...
Homeowner Forecloses on Bank →
Revenge is a dish best served by sheriff’s deputies.
A Bank of America branch tried to foreclose on a Florida couple, even though the couple paid cash for their home and didn’t take out a mortgage.
The couple prevailed in the courts, but wanted the bank to pay $2,534 in legal fees.
The bank balked.
The couple, retired police officer Warren Nyerges and his wife, Maureen Collier,...

Scumbaggery has a new name - Anthony Weiner
NEW YORK (AP) — A tearful Rep. Anthony Weiner on Monday admitted sending a lewd photo of his underwear-clad crotch to a young woman over Twitter and then lying repeatedly to protect himself. In a flash of defiance, Weiner refused to resign even as Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called for a House ethics investigation into whether he broke...
Brandeis HS riot: Cops overreact. Nothing to see... →
When I see the video of the Brandeis High flash mob-turned-riot, I see kids having fun, teachers acting like control freaks, and cops overreacting.
We all know how this will end — the kids will be charged, school officials will circle their wagons and the cops will be vindicated.

Does this mean Microsoft is a patent troll? →
Patent troll: Patents an idea or product, doesn’t produce it, then sues anyone who gets within a mile of that particular intellectual property.
According to a report by Citi analyst Walter Pritchard, Microsoft may be making more money off Google’s Android operating system than it makes off its own Windows Phone platform — five times more, in fact. Pritchard states that as a result of a...

A lecturer at the London School of Economics announced the results of a survey that alleges “black women are uglier than other races.”
In the past, Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, i.e. the guy who will live to regret that conclusion, postulated that sub-Saharan Africans have poorer because of lower I.Qs., not poverty.
