NYC stories will have to wait...a pretty lousy day has kept me from them. On the plus side, I just threw up a cool part of the site which allows me to browse all the images in the dredwerkz image database. Give it a spin and tell me what you think. Try clicking on some other categories to check it out.
This is pretty cool. Weekend summary later.
werkz advice: go see it!
the new film Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle is a perfect stoner comedy for the new millenium. Rather than tired jokes and a cliched storyline, H and K manages to push ethnic and racial boundaries in a number of funny directions, leading to a great comedy that doesn't leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Several scenes, including one of an abusive relationship between a man and his marijuana lover, are too amusing to miss out on. Go see it today!
Um...I guess the new funny line will be, "I'm Rick James' Ghost, Bitch!"
Simply nauseating.
No bounce for Kerry. The Democrats and their pollsters will tell you this is because the electorate has already made up its mind. But if that is the case, why are they campaigning? Why have a convention in the first place? In reality, at least 10 percent of the population is undecided, and John Kerry's convention appears to have gotten none of them.
The other explanation is stylistic. Kerry rushed his speech, stepping on his applause lines. Then there was the sweat on his brow and chin, not quite Nixonian lip sweat, but enough to distract.
Nixonian lip sweat? What? What? Dr. Kraphammer has outdone himself...why does he refuse to focus on issues?
Bad jobs numbers. Apparently we "turned the corner"...over a cliff.
Remember, we have to add 150K jobs each month just to keep pace with population increases. So 32K is really, really bad. Not to mention that most analysts had us pegged at a growth of 200K beforehand.
Okay, first you have to read these posts about Michelle Malkin's new book. (There are a few more at the site, too.) Just the other day someone asked me at work, "Hey, do you know some stupid conservatives?" I replied in the affirmative, and Michelle Malkin was the first name I thought of. Now, despite the fact that almost no one would argue that Japanese-American internment during WWII was a good thing, MM is there to push the envelope. Well, two can play at that game. Go check out these crazy photoshop covers from her new book. Laugh.
Hmm. Let's see. Sandy Berger, investigated, probably cleared. Tons of media. Well, let's see how Richard Shelby is treated. So far, it looks like a slap on the wrist:
Federal investigators concluded that Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) divulged classified intercepted messages to the media when he was on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, according to sources familiar with the probe.
Specifically, Fox News chief political correspondent Carl Cameron confirmed to FBI investigators that Shelby verbally divulged the information to him during a June 19, 2002, interview, minutes after Shelby's committee had been given the information in a classified briefing, according to the sources, who declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the case.
Cameron did not air the material. Moments after Shelby spoke with Cameron, he met with CNN reporter Dana Bash, and about half an hour after that, CNN broadcast the material, the sources said. CNN cited "two congressional sources" in its report.
The FBI and the U.S. attorney's office pursued the case, and a grand jury was empaneled, but nobody has been charged with any crime. Last month it was revealed that the Justice Department had decided to forgo a criminal prosecution, at least for now, and turned the matter over to the Senate Ethics Committee.
The Senate Ethics Committee? What a joke. Dick should have to go through a criminal investigation at the least, considering his motive was to smear the DCI. Hell, why can't we all agree that this is unacceptable behavior?
I'd tell you to go support the guy running against Shelby next fall but he seems a little...er...nuts. So give to the DNC instead.
Free speech zones stink. Enough said.
A lot of people complain about taxes. I, for one, do not. But if you live in DC, and people complain from New York, or California, about taxes, show them this. Or this. As far as sales tax is concerned, that baseline DC rate of 5.75 is misleading, given that everytime you purchase a meal, the tax rate is 10%. Top that, NYC people...
The last three days I have put so much food in myself at dinner that I have been sick each instance. Self-control will have to begin in earnest tonight.
And speaking of tonight, Deborah should be rejoining the 'werkz crew later this evening. Hopefully she's accumulated some stories from her european adventures. In honor of her return, we're going to be having an actual party on the 14th. Come one, come all! If you're a regular and you didn't get the e-mail be sure to harass me. No, really. It's been so long since I've had people over (those were cookouts, remember? they were not parties) that some e-mail information may have lapsed.
Okay. Back to work. My stomach still hurts.
