GUY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

As questionable as some of their tactics sound, wingmen profess to have a moral code when it comes to their buddies. One rule is, don’t say something embarrassing about your friend to the girl he’s after, even if it makes you look witty.

Another, and possibly the most significant, is this: Never, as the wingman, hit on the target yourself.

In the world of the obvious, Gary Weiss at Salon writes about how the Enron case didn’t and won’t alter the behavior of executives inclined to commit corporate crime. My response on Salon was as follows:

… But a lot of this seems, frankly, OBVIOUS. There is little incentive not to commit crime when you are an executive. And the problem is not the executives, but that the crimes committed have little penalties, and would willing be committed by someone else. In economic terms, there is too much opportunity cost (read: money), to not commit a crime that is at best lightly punished.

I don’t want to condone any behavior, but regardless, you cannot expect much out of people who have gained their positions with a combination of intelligence and greed.

Get ready for a baptism of fire you capitalist oppressor pig dog!

* You and Kristen hooked up in 1969 and it was awkward. Holden kept talking about ducks and some pond.

Shall we?

PS. Numerous studies have shown that Fox News viewers, especially Mr. O’Reilly’s, are among the most ignorant.

I thought this was Doug’s worst nightmare, but I was wrong:

Do you have an idiot friend who likes the Da Vinci Code? Are you someone’s idiot friend that likes the Da Vinci Code? You or said idiot friend should then be directed to a New Yorker review of the Da Vinci Code movie. Some highlights include:

There is also Silas (Paul Bettany), a cowled albino monk whose hobbies include self-flagellation, multiple homicide, and irregular Latin verbs.

There has been much debate over Dan Brown’s novel ever since it was published, in 2003, but no question has been more contentious than this: if a person of sound mind begins reading the book at ten o’clock in the morning, at what time will he or she come to the realization that it is unmitigated junk? The answer, in my case, was 10:00.03.

#1. Procure internship in White House or Congress, attend local intern gatherings, and get your fat lips around as many male membranes as possible
#2. Blog about it.
#3. Get caught blogging about said mouth around said male membranes, and watch the endorsements and book deals pile up.

“But the bearded bleeding hearts at home, and lefty politicians, soon put a stop to this. I guess we weren’t supposed to hurt the enemy.”

An important event in New York City next weekend being run by Independent Viewpoints:

I pretty much love bacon, she knows it, and I thought those “Bac-os Bits” were little bite sized peices of bacon for those occations when people who love bacon are running short on time. I chucked a handful in my mouth before I realized that those “Bac-os Bits” are not real bacon. I read the label, they are some kind of a vegitarian thing. There was nothing close to meat or meat by-products listed on the ingrediaents list. We have been married for over 10 years and I have never, absolutly never gave my wife any indication that I was dissatisfied with real bacon, now she’s buying “Bac-os Bits”. I looked through the rest of the refrigerator and I saw something called “Boca Burgers”, we normally use fresh ground beef for burgers, so this was odd. I read the package and again-no meat. Why would anyone want a burger with no meat? Read more... | 1 Comment » Older Posts »
