It’s been a busy week, between work commitments that kept me at work until 3 am, political events, Wild playoffs and getting ready for a MN Militia sponsored event to piss off Mother Nature, EckerNet feel by the wayside this week. So as is prone to happen, I have a bunch of stuff that raised my eyebrows but I never really had time to write about.

So…..

On one hand a guy claiming that aliens are out to get him is probably crazy. On the other hand, when his house has been hit FIVE times by meteorites, he’s got a damn good case.

NATO offers it’s progress report on Afghanistan, enjoy getting the information before the MSM fucks it up.

Rachel Lucas is officially evil.

If you are too fucking dumb to figure out how to work a rope & pulley, you are WAY too dumb to be teaching. And I think that trumps any separation of church & state argument that can be made here.

I’m glad the New York Times is here to tell us things that the rest of knew a week and a half ago.

University of Wisconsin students kicked some Westboro asswipes off their campus after only 15 minutes. I’m pretty sure anyone that has attended a public college recently could have predicted this for you. Public colleges are open to the public and religious fanatics, for some reason, seem to think they can convert people by chanting in the campus square. In response, the students almost universally ridicule them and they are RUTHLESS in their insults. Attended SCSU myself, and I remember one guy who tried to tell students they were going to hell for using condoms. Let me tell you….NEVER get between horny college kids finally outside their parent’s control and sex…..NEVER. Just. Don’t. Do. It.

Ok I’m sure everyone has seen those stupid freecreditreport.com ads on TV lately. There is one in particular where the guy is singing about how because he has bad credit he was to work in some shitty restaurant. Has anyone thought about that?!?? Why?!??? What employer runs a credit check before hiring someone??? I don’t think I had one ever even when they did my security clearance check. WTF?!? Someone explain this to me.

If you want to know why many people have stopped giving to the parties, perhaps continual incompetence might be playing a roll. First Ensign screws up Arkansas and South Dakota, now he screws up New Jersey. The GOPs chances have started to look better for 2008, except that the incompetence and stubborness of their “leaders” has repeatedly shot them in the foot….how long before they blow the whole damn leg off???

Debra Lafave has been released from prison….schoolboys everywhere just got a collective hard on. And for the record, yeah, she’s still hot.

Using nanotechnology to produce electricity from nuclear waste?? Why again are we paying for subsidies to burn our food in an inefficient manner to produce a fuel that fucks up engines??

If you compare Iraq to the occupation and rebuilding of Germany and Japan after WWII, we’re right on schedule. Of course, that’s bad because Germany and Japan are still a third-world quagmires in a civil ware right……oh wait.

Good to know I’m still beating “real publicatations” to the punch on immigration.

I can’t wait for the DNC Convention in Denver.  On top of the usual comedic relief, liberal protesters have decided their going to set up a tent city in a nearby park and hold naked protests.  Yeah….nothing convinces the public to take you seriously like a bunch of damn dirty hippies holding a naked drum circle.

Never has situation more clearly defined the correct and perfect logic behind a carry permit for law-abiding citizens.
