[Not Work Safe] ... Unless you work at an ISP or a net company where these things are considered fact, or at the very least valid commentary on most people's internet usage.

Supposedly this is the funniest song from Avenue Q. I see no reason to dispute that, but after pulling up the song list for Avenue Q's sound track on iTunes I get the impression its far from being alone.. Click through to the discussion for more links.

I have a secret (not anymore) crush on Wonkette. In the spirit of the linked post, here are the two best Wonkette pickup lines I could think of:

* I saw you on MTV, and you rocked my vote. Can I rock your world sometime?
* Your blog makes me want to Wonkoff.

Neither of these would work, I'm sure. These would land somewhere between a slap and a restraining order. The former being almost a turn-on.

I love them redheads. This is a smart one too. Smart, cute, funny. Very rare. [bites knuckle]

] The folks at Comedy Central were annoyed when Fox News
] Channel's Bill O'Reilly kept referring to "The Daily
] Show" audience as "stoned slackers."
]
] So they did a little research. And guess whose audience
] is more educated?

The answer should not surprise anyone.

Humor is a sign of intelligence and a tool of the intelligent. The comedy on the Daily Show is not low-brow-talk-down-to-the-audience-laugh-a-minute Jay Leno style stuff. Its also not wacky-wacky Letterman style. The Daily Show writers assume you have a clue about what is going on in the world and you are tuned in for some much needed comedy relief. Like O'Reilly, they assume you are pissed off about certain issues, but they do not pander to it, the revel in it.

America's Secret War - George Friedman - Author interviews

Of the 1.5 million jobs lost last year in "mass layoffs", less than 1 percent were attributed to overseas relocation. Technological innovation is responsible for a far greater number of lost jobs than outsourcing.

Daniel Drezner is shining the light on outsourcing. As has been discussed here previously, many times, its not having the negative effect chicken little keeps harping on. Believe it or not, the current administration is likely correct, and Kerry is playing the violin for those of us who got hit with the layoff stick in an effort to have a real issue.

Drezner keeps a blog at http://www.danieldrezner.com/blog/ which contains some footnotes for this op-ed, along with a steady stream of clued content.

This is the second storm that has made a direct hit on my grandmother's house. Francis ripped off her car port, destroyed her porch, ripped one room right off the house, removed a good chunk of roof, etc.. She has been staying with my family in Jersey since. We have yet to receive any reports about how much damage this storm has done. The area is still under curfew.

The people of Florida have had enough. We must stop Bin Laden and his infernal weather machine.

Go see this movie. If you don't like it, your sense of humor has died. It will not rest in peace, much like the undead.

It may qualify as "best zombie movie ever". Its possible. I might need to watch the original Dawn of the Dead, take a walk around the mall, and reflect on this..

My cousin has a new online column/blog type thing.. Those of you who are into horror should enjoy.

Sounds like the style of someone else I know as well...
