It's good that the DNC is giving Michigan and Florida their full voting rights now that it doesn't matter at all. I mean, it'd be bad for the DNC to send the message that if you break the rules, you'll be punished, particularly at a time like this when it doesn't make a damn bit of difference if your state's delegates get their votes or not.

Why do they insist injecting cream into otherwise tasty donuts?

Got there for surgery at 6am. Spent about an hour waiting around in the oh-so-stylish hospital gown before I headed to surgery. I remember maybe 60 seconds worth of time in the operating room, then suddenly it was 9:30 and I was very, very sleeping.

Not much pain yet... no worse than a sore throat, though that's supposed to be changing soon, and not in the good way.

Solution? Go see The Dark Knight now before the pain kicks in! Yeehaw!

Tomorrow I'm getting my tonsils out. I've been having fun reading horror stories from adults who have had this done. I figure I'll blog out it on a day by day basis because you're all DYING TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

So far, on day -1, there's no pain. My stomach feels a little funny, but that's probably just the nachos I just ate. I'm a little sleepy, but I blame that on the cat.

See y'all tomorrow after the surgery!

Also, andamaroo just paid for a Live subscription. I'm pretty sure that makes him a liar and a jerk.

It's a parody, but you can't even tell!

I wrote this special for eloe's birthday. Whenever the hell that is. Happy Birthday!

Indy 4 review

I'm buying a house.

As far as I know, it doesn't have any secret passages installed, which is a shame, though we suspect there are one or more bodies buried under the cement slab near the front door.

If we're really lucky, we'll find out it's built on top of an old Indian burial ground.

So I'm going to have my tonsils removed in July. This is apparently a painful procedure with a lengthy recovery time for an adult, so that should make graye and assfingers happy.

The reason I bring it up, though, is that my doctor's last name is Biggerstaff.

His first name is Richard.

DICK BIGGERSTAFF will be removing my tonsils.

That just isn't right.

Review coming soon to a community near you!

Plot teaser from IMDB:

A biker comes upon a girl with a flat tire and offers her a ride home. He winds up at a drug party with the girl's sister, then follows her to a turkey farm owned by her father, a mad scientist. The father turns the biker into a giant turkey monster who goes after drug dealers.

This is old, so anyone who cares has probably already seen it and will Kingfox me, but it's a first for me. Some LJ rant about how Joss Whedon hates women. Funny as hell, made funnier by the fact that I think she's serious.

I know better than to assume a single video tells the whole story, since it's easy to pick and choose who you're interviewing to give the impression that you want, but I do agree with the underlying message here... the middle class is better off than it used to be. But it expects a lot more, too.

Drew Carey on the Shrinking Middle Class

Always makes me a little angry when I see someone who smokes 1-2 packs a day complaining that "Corporate America" or some other scapegoat of choice is making to hard for them to feed and clothe their kids. Oh, really? Is Corporate America making you spend that $5-$10 a day that you could have bought food and clothes with? I guess they are, with their subversive advertising that completely bypasses your own willpower and turns you into an addicted drone, completely against your will. I guess you're just a victim, after all. No personal responsibility need apply.

How come when a Republican is involved in a scandal, the headline always mentions their party affiliation, but when a Democrat is involved in a scandal, it's either buried 12 paragraphs down or you have to go look it up yourself.

Don't believe me? Try finding Kwame Kilpatrick's party affiliation in the CNN story. Didn't see it? Me either. Now see how long it takes you to find Spitzer's party affiliation in most of the mainstream media's stories about his recent scandal. Keep scrolling, it's way down there at the bottom.

Now look for those same stories about Larry Craig, and try to find a mainstream media story where it doesn't identify him as Republican either in the headline or the first line of the story.

Not that I actually care about any of the scandals, or which party is involved. But if you're going to call attention to one, call attention to the other, too. Better yet, don't call attention to either. Does it really matter? I don't think either party can lay a claim to moral purity in their politicians, so let's just all agree to understand that politicians in general are dirty, dirty people who like hookers, blow, threesomes, and the occasional same-sex encounter with a stranger in an airport restroom.


Then again, maybe they just figured it was safe to assume that with a name like Kwame, we'd know which party he belonged to.

Edit: Okay, I guess I was exaggerating. I see quite a few Larry Craig stories where his party affiliation isn't shown until the 2nd or 3rd paragraph, though those are mostly follow-up stories.

I hear there's an LJ strike today and no one is supposed to post. Please help make everyone aware of the strike by posting this message in your journal and all the communities you belong to. Maybe include some pictures of your cat!

Stop driving like assholes.

Getting to your destination 13 seconds earlier isn't worth endangering yourself, and more importantly, all the other people on the road around you.

"But I'm a good driver, _sterno_, I can go 10-20 mph faster than the rest of the traffic on a crowded highway and bob and weave just fine! I'm skilled at it, and I won't run into anyone!" Let's assume for a minute that you are indeed a god of driving among mortals, and you can pull off high-speed lane changes in heavy traffic without ever hitting anyone. Good for you. That doesn't mean everyone else has your unquestionable skills. Not only are you being an asshole when you cut between two cars so that you leave mere inches between the guy in front of you and the guy in back of you, but once in a gre
