Year: 2007

This Saturday at the Island Hotel here in Newport!

You know it’s a sad event when the only speaker who shouldn’t be in prison is Pat Sajak.

The Claremont Institute presents the 20th Anniversary Dinner in Honor of Sir Winston Churchill, in honor of Donald Rumsfeld, with honorary co-host Dick Cheney (by video from his Castle of Evil) and introductory remarks by William J. Bennett!

Two war criminals, a gambler Tartuffe blowhard bigot, and a game show host. I hope Pat goes off on all of them for being unclean and then pulls the string on a suicide bomb. “You called me here today to be the emcee for your dinner. You wanted a nice friendly puppet, someone crass, a real pro, a get along guy. WELL YOU GOT A MAN ON A MISSION, SUCKERS!” [blam] Okay, fantasy over.

Don’t go anywhere near Newport Center if you want to avoid the anal probe and/or worst traffic ever. I’m sure the presence of Rummy & Bill will result in a terrordome being lowered over the entire zip code. No need to protest. I could just show up within 3/4 of a mile in my not very clean car and wham it’s gitmo.

health care ain’t wack

I haven’t seen much Government Music Video. The first was the infamous Just Say No anti-drug one in ’85 in which hipsters like Herb Alpert urged us GenXers not to do cocaine. It was possible to see all the way through if impaired in some way.

There were also some examples of AdRoc from the military that I’ve banished from my mind.

Some time in the 1990s, kerebearus was partially responsible for some Government Music Video about nutrition and fitness for a local county here. I have memories of cute sixth graders chanting “NO PROTEIN POWDER! LOUDER!!!”

She refuses to have these digitized. So now we have something that kerebearus would also appreciate. Government Health Care Recruiting Furry Hip-Hop! YO WAASSSUUPPP GOV!

planetdracula are you pumpin’ yo fist in agreement?

Blame to the Exploding Aardvark.

Dear LazyMailWeb: Why does Yahoo hate freedom?

Is there any way of getting off Yahoo’s email greylist? In the last year all mail from my domain has been delivered at their leisure or maybe never with a 421 Deferred bounce that points to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html

When I try to make use of that page, it send me to a nonexistent url that rewrites to their consumer Yahoo! mail help page. Some searching about on the web reveals that they “deprioritize” people who aren’t either big well-known ISPs or dialup, and that there’s no way to get off this list that anyone can find; it’s Kafka’s castle.

I’ve never relayed spam. Can I assume that they just don’t know or care what the difference is between joe-job bounces and spamming? It looks from what I see like if you get on that list, it’s just over for you.

The situation is made even more “wonderful” because some friends of mine don’t have explicit Yahoo! email but rather have business email done through them, so that I can’t even tell which email addresses aren’t going to work properly.

no.

By my count I have been told five (5) separate, distinct, unique, and totally obvious lies today, each by someone who only did so to avoid a small piece of work or thought.

I am now going to force my head through a three-inch-thick plate of cast iron and it’s gonna feel gooooooooooooood.

my phone died

Dunno when it will be back. Just called their support line.

The voice told me to enter my number, and I did.

The voice then asked me whether I had a lost phone, or had a phone insurance situation, or had a dead phone. I chose dead phone.

The voice then spoke to me at length about monitoring of the call for customer service, the possible necessity repeating my phone number, and the soon to be achieved help as soon as I was transferred.

Another voice then intervened and explained the hours of the service and the time zone thereof. And then it hung up.

THANKS!!!
