My blogroll was getting excessively long. I didn't mind that since I was proud to link to so many good bloggers (especially since I had been the reason some of them started) but since the beginning of the year a great many of the folks I linked to have simply stopped writing (which is fine). I was ruthless (nearly even delinking my mother but for a single update she made in the last month) but it did cut my link section down to something...
Dear readers (all 4 of you), I apologize for both the slackening of my writing pace and more importantly for the precipitous decline in my writing quality over the last month or so. My work schedule shifted a while back and I find myself utterly unable to concentrate on this shift. The computer on which I compose these travesties against the written word is right next to the TOC door facing away fom the opening of said portal. This means that every time the damnable gate...
Via my wife the Quiz Queen ... In truth it was a toss up decided by a tie breaker question that landed me as a Satanist rather than an Atheist or Agnostic. If you asked me how *I* would characterize myself I would say Agnostic... You scored as Satanism . Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of...
Some headlines from the sites used by selected moonbats as "sources" for their "theories": "Google Big Brother Sattelite Mapping" "Martial Law : 9-11 The Rise of the Police State" "Cashless Society Control Grid" "Terri's Death Meant to Send a Message" "Did Pope Hinder New World Order" "NWO Puppets Go to Pope Funeral" "Dark Secrets Inside the Bohemian Grove" "The National DNA Database and the UN Push to Register All Babies" "Blog Comments Betray Pro-Dea...
Sweet Jesus this has got to be the lamest shit I have ever seen on JU. From this pointless crap (hey just post your reply here as an article and then link the original), to the long, unindented, run-on paragraphs here ... Do you want people to actually read what you write or are you just testing the byte density limit of the universe? Why post dreck like this and then turn off commentary? Aaargh!
Calling out a blogger by name in the title of an article is borderline . Writing a rambling idiotic rant in said article is infantile and actually takes away any credibility you might have been building. Not bothering to figure out how to link to the article your screed is referring to means you are too lazy or technically challenged to blog. Finally, disabling comments on this s...

Ok so even though I was quite proud to have climbed the top blog list this last month I have to point out that the darn thing is totally broken. I noticed one blog which I had never read climbing the ranks until it reached number one tonight. Clicking on it I discover it has exactly one article and zero referrals. Some screen shots : and Note that this is in no way the fault of the blogger shown here just posting this as a sort of bug report.
JU has changed it's forum view quite a lot and I have spotted a strangeness... In the forum view you can select your own comments for Trolling or Insightful ratings (something you never used to be able to do) and clicking on the buttons have strange effects... The first time it raised my score by a few points and the 2nd time I tried it it lowered my score by the same amount (perhaps a half finished guard against self-given Insightful points-whoring?). Anyone else notice...
Some sentiments from a peaceful and tolerant blogger in response to this post . I won’t put their handle in this blog (although you can of course find it on the original thread). pretty sad commentary on this individual who uses one of the better anecdotes as a mockery. And sadder is how this person had a response of "wow man that was great ha ha ha". Sickening. Tolerance would be a good thing in these turbulent times. And it's unfortunate because attitides like that ma...
I can safely say that in all the time I have used the Net that I have clicked on exactly one ad banner ever (intentionally). Yet ad banners are huge on the Net. Am I alone in never clicking on them? Do you? Who the hell is supporting this industry? Just curious.
My non-updating buddy Negrodamus' blog here at JU has been blocked by Websense for "Adult" content. So far hi is the only one I can't read here. Personally I would have placed his sit under the "Tasteless" category
I didn't notice it until Estrogen Lass pointed it out in an email (honest) but somehow you guys have read this thing enough to make my blog number one for a day (even topping Brad's own (EL insists I am *ahem* "servicing him" (I'm not))). Because it is unlikely to ever happen again (and I am certainly around a million hits/day from threatening guys with real talent) I took a screen shot of it (for posterity mind you!). Thanks for reading...
It's not like Lileks needs a bump from me but I eally am enjoying his Joe Ohio fiction series. The groundrules are simple: One matchbook drawn at random fom his collection follwed by whatever plotline he can extrapolate in 30 minutes flat. The result is somewhat dark and depressing but extrememly engaging nonethless. Check it out. Certainly worth more of your time than those online horoscope places . While you ...
(Note : The previous Deadly Charisma are located here : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 Well here I am again. Not as fucked this time around though. Seems that I am now in Iraq in SFC Vince Calangelo's company. I arrived at around 3 a.m. local time and was quickly shown to a cot set-up in one of Saddam's old aircraft hangars. Even before my bags were all upstairs I heard someone bounding up to th second floor in the dark. There he was Vinc...
