I was hanging out at O’Malley’s this evening with some buddies watching the World Series. My friends and I were surprised to see a John McCain ad on the television. We’re in Northern Virginia, which is a lot like Northern Vietnam in that it’s run by communists and people who hate John McCain. Here it is very rare to see a McCain ad on the TV. However, Obama is on during every commercial break. I want to reiterate that I am not voting for McCain. I’d rather see him as president than Obama, but if I had my druthers, neither would be president. That is why I’m voting third party this year. Anyway, as I was saying, I saw this ad on TV and it sent me into a frantic rage. I just couldn’t stand it. This is one of the most ridiculous ads I’ve ever seen. I just don’t understand who thinks up these ads? Does McCain really think that Americans are so stupid that anything they see on the television is immediately accepted without question? Does he REALLY believe that showing a bunch of average turds on TV saying, “I’m Joe the Plumber” will inspire unity among the middle class? To me, it was a lame attempt at a remake of this classic scene from Spartacus… Don’t get me wrong, I am seriously bothered by Obama’s idiotic statement that he wants to “spread the wealth around.” I truly believe that his ideas on taxes, education, health care, and foreign policy are bad for this country. However, I do not understand the tactic of painting “Joe the Plumber” as “Joe Average American.” What the hell is wrong with mankind that the politicians and media whores think so little of us? Still, as aggravated as I was by the whole deal, apparently not everyone in the bar was put off by this commercial. As soon as it was over, this gentlemen stood up and said, “I’m Joe the Plumber!” October 22nd, 2008
A friend of mine asked me to have the title of this entry* translated into Aramaic. Well, sort of…for some reason the “اباك” was left out of the request. Regardless, it doesn’t really matter. My friend wanted it to say something specific, and who am I to argue? Of course, since I don’t speak Aramaic, I was [...] October 21st, 2008
Most of my friends know that I have a condition called anosmia. Essentially, I do not have a sense of smell. Other than being a bit of personal trivia and making me paranoid about gas leaks, it really doesn’t have an impact on my life. In fact, usually I find myself being grateful that I am [...] October 20th, 2008
I have discovered an amazing new mathematical formula that will undoubtedly change nothing in this world. I call it “Ass Math.” It goes something like this: Black Coffee + Empty Stomach = Holy Shit! In my office we have a fair number of coffee drinkers. When I first started in the office a year ago, we used [...] October 18th, 2008
Today was Sophie Dickens’ first birthday. I should have been there, but I was not. There is not a really good excuse, except that I haven’t felt like being out and about lately. Still, happy birthday, Butterfly Girl, I can’t believe it’s been a full year!

So, as many of you know, I am a man of culture and sophistication. I have many varied interests including, but not limited to, chemistry, independent films, fine literature, music, politics, foreign language (and linguistics in general), and boobs. This evening, purely by accident, I stumbled across a Youtube video that combines philology and boobs. Now, I’m [...] |
