First Ever

josh | October 31, 2008

I just made my first ever political donation.  I donated $10 to help elect William Russell, who I had never heard of until this evening.  When Glenn Reynolds made the suggestion of helping the opponent of John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania) in their battle for over Murtha’s congressional seat.  I just plain don’t like Murtha and thought, [...]

Noticed

josh | October 30, 2008

One thing I’ve noticed as a result of my accident that is pretty frustrating is my minor memory loss. I like to sing along to my iPod music when I am in the car but, lately, I’ve noticed that I cannot remember the words to songs that I’ve known for nearly 20 years. [...]

Chicken

Seriously, what the hell!?
Three Oklahoma City men were arrested after playing “chicken” with a police car. Police said a 23-year-old man drove his car at the oncoming patrol car driven by Capt. J.D. Reid and didn’t move until Reid swerved out of the way.  Reid then chased the car until it crashed. The driver was [...]

“Before you were formed in the womb …”

This is rather entertaining.
LAWSUIT AGAINST GOD DISMISSED for failure to obtain personal service. But Ilya Somin objects: “I’m not entirely convinced that the ruling is correct. After all, if God exists, he must be omnipresent and omnipotent. Therefore, it logically follows that he can be served with court papers anywhere; after all he is [...]

Cajun DUI

I received this from my boss today.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Houma, Louisiana. After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.  The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.
After what seemed an [...]

Barriers

josh | October 12, 2008

I just finished watching an episode of Extreme Engineering called “Holland’s Barriers to the Sea” and it was pretty interesting.  It was about how the Dutch have fought off tides and floods for the last 2000 years (undoubtedly the fault of President Bush) and they’ve had some major innovations over the past 50 years to [...]

Saguaro Chipping

I found this article about micro-chipping saguaros somewhat interesting.

You know, I just noticed that I haven’t posted anything in 9 days.  That’s a long time.  Perhaps I’ll remedy it.

Three

josh | October 1, 2008

You know, I never realized that I had never seen Star Wars Episode III.  I started watching it a few minutes ago and thought to myself, “Self, this is stuff I don’t recognize.  Could it really be?”
Sure enough, it is.

The Epitome of Hyperbole

josh | October 1, 2008

I just finished watching some standup by Brian Regan.  It was called The Epitome of Hyperbole and I recorded it a couple of nights ago on Comedy Central and it was pretty funny.  I like how his humor is clean as it’s something I could let my kids watch.  In fact, I may just do [...]
