Joke of the Day - Perfect Timing
Two guys are walking down a dark alley when a mugger approaches them and demands their money. They both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash. Just then, one guy turns to the other, hands him a bill, and says, “Hey, here’s that $20 I owe you.”

Tired of the election already
Am I the only one who is tired of hearing coworkers go on and on about how great Obama is and how horrible Clinton is?
Perhaps I am just really apathetic but I really just don’t care about Obama and Clinton. This entire election is just mind numbingly boring to me.
Joke of the Day - A Bad Pun
There was a man who entered a local paper’s pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Joke of the Day - Women Drivers
Driving to town this morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Mustang doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that dang makeup!
It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my cell phone away from my other ear which fell into the coffee between my legs and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!
DANG WOMEN DRIVERS!

Ageism and politics
Is it okay to discuss John McCain’s old age as if its a negative thing? Doesn’t age imply experience?
America seems to have no problem bashing McCain for being “too old.” I don’t see how it is any better than bashing a politican for their race or sex.
These are not things we can control nor are they negative affectors so why do we treat them as negatives?

Where is your gas money going?
In case anyone is wondering after my earlier rant, The Chicago Tribune has an article on the rising price of gasoline.

Gas prices
Why are gas prices so fucking high and why doesn’t anyone care?
3.71 for a gallon of gas is outrageous.

Joke of the Day - Bad Lawyer Jokes
Good News: A busload of lawyers ran off a cliff. The bus was destroyed and there were no survivors.
Bad News: There were three empty seats.
What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.
What do you throw to a drowning lawyer?
His partners.
Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an honest lawyer and an old drunk are walking down the street together when they simultaneously spot a hundred dollar bill. Who gets it?
The old drunk, of course; the other three are mythical creatures.

Hulu
I just discovered Hulu. It’s an online video on demand service, but what’s great is it has full streaming video of TV shows and movies.
It’s a legal Watch-Movies.net, all you have to do is sit through an occasional 10-20 second ad during your TV shows and movie.

Why is it okay to persecute?
What makes it okay to persecute Scientology but not Christianity or any other established religion?
Is a virgin birth and walking on water, or the idea that Moses walked through the desert for 40 years on manna really different from Thetans?

Joke of the Day - Where am I?
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircrafts electronic navigation and communications equipment.
Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopters position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said “WHERE AM I?” in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said “YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.”
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.
“I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.”

Memo, Signed by George Bush, Authorizing Torture
The document speaks for itself. Here is a quote (emphasis mine):
a. I accept the legal conclusion of the Department of Justice and determine that none of the provisions of Geneva apply to our conflict with al-Qaida in Afghanistan or elsewhere throughout the world because, among other reasons, al-Qaida is not a High Contracting Party to Geneva.
b. I accept the legal conclusion of the attorney general and the Department of Justice that I have the authority under the Constitution to suspend Geneva as between the United States and Afghanistan, but I decline to exercise that authority at this time. Accordingly, I determine that the provisions of Geneva will apply to our present conflict with the Taliban. I reserve the right to exercise the authority in this or future conflicts.
