t-minus 20 days til my hero hank moody returns to television!

standing in line it seemed like a good idea for $5.50, after downing the whole "big box" my stomach isn't all too happy with me. of interest the back of the box has lifing instructions, suggesting to lift with the legs and not the back. anyhow this lunch weighed in at 2-3 lbs probably. i think i'll be skipping the next few meals!

ah here's the latest virus scumware action going on. last 2 weeks it was a bullshit flash updater, this week its a fake windows media updater.

Well, John McCain has finally announced his running mate, and as we at Who-Sucks.com had expected, he made quite a sucky choice. In the 24 hours since McCain announced that Governor Sarah Palin was his choice, we've gone around the net looking for some precise reasons why she sucks.

Here are 13 reasons:

1. A poor record: Her only political experience has been a few years as mayor of a small town in Alaska and less than two years as governor of that state. Her record wasn't so great: the small town she left behind is now in financial ruin.
2. She has no experience with national level politics. At the time of this posting, many of her views on national policy issues were unknown simply because she is so inexperienced that she hasn't even made public statements about them. Presidential history scholars believe she may be "the most inexperienced person on a major party ticket in modern history."
3. She has no foreign policy experience. None.
4. Iraq War? Our country is in the midst of a war, and Palin's son is going to fight in that war. However, Salon.com reports that she hasn't even given much thought to the Iraq War, and has no clear opinions about it. Great.
5. She is a creationist, and she wants "creation science" to be taught in public schools.
6. She doesn't believe in man-made global warming. Maybe that's why she supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
7. Not only does she think the government should be telling people who they can and cannot marry, she also thinks that same sex couples should be denied benefits given to straight couples.
8. Palin has been accused of abusing her power as Alaska governor to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. An investigation is underway.
9. She has messed up views on wildlife protection. Enivornmentalists are appalled by her support of a $150-per-wolf bounty program. She's also supported the use of government money to educate people about how great it is to shoot bears and wolves, and she doesn't want the polar bear to make it onto the endangered species list.
10. Even if they aren't true, rumors about her pretending to be pregnant to cover up her teenage daughter's accidental pregnancy are not going to help her image.
11. Ninja editing: Her Wikipedia entry needed to be cleaned up before the public announcement that she was McCain's VP pick.
12. She has no clue about the role of the Vice President.
13. It is quite clear she was chosen just because of her gender (most Republicans have never even heard of her), and she's being used as a trick by the McCain campaign to gain some of Hillary Clinton's supporters.

Lets examine who this woman is that stirring all this attention:

Gov. Palin is the biggest walking contradiction ever; a complete and utter yes girl for the religious right.
Like I said before, she can't even think for herself how else can you explain such hypocritical views?
(taken from wikipedia)
(((Palin is pro-life, a prominent member of Feminists for Life, and supports the death penalty. In 2002, while running for lieutenant governor, Palin called herself as "pro-life as any candidate can be." Palin has said she has good friends who are gay, but opposes same-sex marriage. She supported a non-binding referendum for a constitutional amendment to deny benefits to homosexual couples. Palin has stated that she supported the 1998 constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. According to The Anchorage Daily News, she has supported allowing discussion of the debate between creationism and evolution in public schools, if students bring it up, and not necessarily as part of the curriculum. Although she has tried marijuana, she does not support legalization for recreational use, stating concerns about the message it would send to her children.)))

1.)She says she has gay friends (kind of like when white folks say yea I have black friends) but can't even support domestic benefits? I mean come on folks its one thing to be against same sex marriage because of your religious convictions but give me a fucking break!?!

2.)Pro-life but supports the death penalty?

3.)Smoked weed but doesn't believe it should be legalized? What a fucking tool!!!

People who are this god damn contradictory fucking terrify me, they should not be in a position of power and are just one Jaguar away of jerking the world off the wrong way..

i've been tweaking the web site at work and keeping tabs on the analytics stats. here's one that slapped me in the face:

google (from search) - 2,710
google (paid ads) - 496
yahoo - 15
msn - 9
live search - 8

those numbers are inbound clicks to us from those sources. i knew most everyone used google, but i keep reading about yahoo and microsoft still having some kind of userbase, but damn, those numbers are nonexistant. of course up till now we've pandered our tweaking and tuning towards google, but have started pumping info at yahoo and live search. guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks with those numbers?

(p.s. the site is still a work in progress, its starting to look better and is slowly getting there)

ed abduction gave me the tour around his realm on warcraft and some goodie bags. so far the only person who made fun of me for playing warcraft admitted he had an account, i figured i'd get slammed over it? maybe there are more closet nerds out there than i thought.

also while installing patches i was skimming the readmes. yeah i had nothing to do today. one of the patches was dedicated to gary gygax. unusual, but hey, the guy spawned a whole legion of games that influenced gaming, whether you did play AD&D or not. i tried, but realized real quick that AD&D was much like doing math homework with dragons and elves. and also it usually devolved into jumping around and going medieval on each other with fake swords. i remember one round of D&D ending with some bruises and minor blood spillage. +1 saving bonus for parents not being around.

so any other dorkuses out there, i have a character on bloodhoof and another on rivendare. prolly stick to bloodhoof for now.

i just got a very urgent email about my baby!!!!

"Hey We have hijacked your baby but you must pay once to us $50 000. The details we will send later... We has attached photo of your fume"

i'm glad i ran that photo.exe and it wasnt even a picture of a baby, it just made a bunch of pornz open up!
