state of the freedom

state of the union last night. want a brief summary?

bush said the word freedom 21 times and went 3 for 3 in mispronounciations of the word nuclear (note the "usage" listing at the end of the definition...awesome.). he announced a plan to prevent the legalization of gay marriage, plans to cut 150 unnamed government programs, painted a big target on the middle east, and said he wants to enact $2 trillion worth of social security reform.

it all made me yearn for ice cube to deliver a different state of the union.

rock.

let freedom ring

craziness abounds...

first, sbc announced it was purchasing at&t. big deal? let's just say that this deal will not only reshape much of the telecommunications landscape, but involves a possible fcc blockage due to anti-trust legislation. the merger itself managed to get its own website. right now analysts are still debating over the intellect of the purchase of the sinking phone company, however both seem to agree that jobs will be lost.

speaking of phones, how about this...louisiana finally got phone service. that's right, people in the small town of mink, louisiana finally got phone service, and it only took until 2005! it's the dawn of a new era.

and let's not forget...groundhog's day! (i swear all i did was image search the term on google) good ol' punxsutawney phil made his predictions today, although they seemed a bit strange. i would, however, like to things go back to the way they were...badger day.

rock.

no longer crappy

so i've been totally crappy when it comes to posting. i'm looking to change that. so let's kick this sucker back into gear.

newest bits of information, leaked to me by a little puppy...

nail face: last year in south dakota, a guy got shot in the head from his friends nailgun. ouch. one year and four days later another guy got shot in the head...but this guy was shot in the face...by his own gun. i'm not really going to say much more about this other than: 6 days! damn! also notice where this freaky little event occured...littleton, co. i wonder if property is really cheap there yet?

love bomb: there's this website called "the sunshine project," and they investigate united states involvement in chemical and biological weapons. thanks to the freedom of information act and a military mix-up they recently obtained documents about a program proposed to the military 2 years after the united states agreed to no longer participate in similar programs. the government, of course, denied this. but the really awesome part is the actual proposed weaponry:

-a bomb designed to make enemy soldiers temporarily gay through the introduction of mass quantities of aphrodesiacs.
-a bomb designed to make enemy soldier stink like halitosis or wicked bad gas.
-a bomb designed to provoke animals (like bees or rats) to attack the soldiers.

can you imagine a bomb goes off and suddenly you are swarmed by bees. it would totally suck, but it totally rules.

besides, i've been proposing bee based weapons technology for years...

rock.
