I can't stand watching tv anymore. There's nothing good on, and if I happen to find something half-asses entertaining, it will be interrupted in minutes by one of those pandering, soft selling, brain dead corporate propaganda films known as commercials. I also hate having to plan my life around the local Fox affiliate's neurotic scheduling department. Fortunately, I don't have to put up with it. I have discovered a way to watch just the shows I want when I want without commercials and in HD if I want. Here's how I did it.

Gone in 60 Days: Citi and BoA Won’t Live to See May

Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) won’t live to see May. The government will take them over within the next 60 days. The announcement may come as soon as tomorrow evening...

The US government has already committed half a trillion dollars to these two firms which is more than 10 times the amount it would cost to buy and control both companies. The market doesn’t believe that $500 billion is enough to save these companies...

All the kings horses and all the kings men can’t put humpty dumpty back together again.

Universal charger is universally stupid

I just read a story on MarketWatch (http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/tech-consumers-could-use-little/story.aspx?guid={1197454F-AABB-47E9-AE02-9FE1A98CD868}&dist=msr_2) about the EU trying to force cell phone and laptop manufacturers to use a universal charger. This is used as an argument that the US government needs to step up their meddling in their citizens' lives. I'm not going to comment on why excessive government regulation is bad or how Mr. Dvorak is a fucking idiot (read Slashdot to find all about him). Instead I'm going to focus on why the charger idea is retarded.

SIN (service industry night)

To make up for society as a being a giant A-hole, many restaurants in Dallas are providing service industry workers with food and liquor discounts in their establishments. You would think this little gesture would possibly cut down on the number of spitwads added to food content. I can't begin to describe the nasty things I've witnessed at the restaurant where I'm employed. The sad thing is that I used to care about the customers and what they ingest. Not so much anymore.

Psychologist tells us why republicans vote republican

Voting Republican
I'm intrigued by this interpretation, from psychology professor Jonathan Haidt, about why people vote Republican. Haidt points out that mostly liberal academic psychologists have concluded that "conservatism is a partially heritable personality trait that predisposes some people to be cognitively inflexible, fond of hierarchy, and inordinately afraid of uncertainty, change, and death." And then right when he is about to lose me, for seeming pat and condescending, he writes:
