Electric Monkey Pants

Which is a bit of a shock, really. We’re pretty awful, but every now and then we rock. Okay, we’re not that bad, but we were just on a 4 game losing streak and we needed that win so bad. We beat a team of cops, calling themselves The Blues. We are much more interestingly titled: the Strokes.

It was a decisive and inspiring victory. Let’s hope there’s more where that came from.

Yes. Yes, I did.

I told you I was exhausted! Damn! I had a busy week and now I can finally catch up on some sleep. Of course, it’s back to work tomorrow. Personally, I think we should have 4 day work weeks, with a 3 day weekend – every week. That’s how life was meant to be lived! And fuck this 40 hour week shit. 30 hours is plenty.

Don’t you wish I was in charge of this planet?

Whoa. Just got back from band practice. We did some serious jamming and I’m fuckin’ exhausted. Thought I’d say goodnight before I head off to bed.

We’re spying on you because we love you!

It’s not scary; it’s security!

Ties Babe Ruth.

Does anybody really care? Babe Ruth did it without steroids. All he had were steaks and beer. Barry Bonds is a ‘roid-ragin’ cheater.

But does not retract the story.

According to an earlier post, they have received additional confirmation:

…Further, both Corallo and Luskin denied Leopold’s account of events at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm that represents Karl Rove. They specifically stated again that no such meeting ever occurred, that Fitzgerald was not there, that Rove was not there, and that a major meeting did not take place. Both men were unequivocal on that point.

We can now report, however, that we have additional, independent sources that refute those denials by Corallo and Luskin. While we had only our own sources to work with in the beginning, additional sources have now come forward and offered corroboration to us.

We have been contacted by at least three reporters from mainstream media – network level organizations – who shared with us off-the-record confirmation and moral support. When we asked why they were not going public with this information, in each case they expressed frustration with superiors who would not allow it.

The last paragraph is what’s most interesting to me. Why wouldn’t they run with it? Include Luskin’s denials as part of the story and put that fucker on the wire. Oh well, it might’ve been wrong anyway. But it is interesting that they’ve received more corroboration, including from mainstream media. It’s not possible that the indictment is under a gag order, is it?

Further on they state:

We reported that Patrick Fitzgerald had, “instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 business hours to get his affairs in order….” That does not mean that at the end of that 24-hour period, Fitzgerald is obliged to hold a press conference and make an announcement. It just means that he has given Rove a 24-hour formal notification. Fitzgerald is not obliged to make an announcement at any point; he does so at his own discretion, and not if it compromises his case. So we’re all stuck waiting here. Grab some coffee.

So basically, it could be another year before Fitzgerald formally indicts Rove, or before he formally announces it. The last grand jury lasted 18 months if I remember correctly. It could be awhile, folks.

BusinessWeeks says it could happen even without a break in the supply.

They don’t explicitly mention Peak Oil, but it’s a subtext.

Given no shortage of crude oil in storage, the only explanation for the current spike is that the physical market’s leverage on price has been temporarily suspended, or is being overridden by a futures market driven by a huge influx of capital. These investors are keying on future levels of risk to supply, rather than the immediate supply-demand balance.

It would probably be very smart to invest in oil futures at this point. It will go up, it’s just a matter of time. With GW in the White House, it’s gonna be bumpy ride, so strap in and be careful. Let’s hope we can stop him from invading Iran and destroying our economy and liberty in the process.

But I doubt it. People would rather watch American Idol.

Don’t let the hate machine roll you over. They will do anything for votes, and unfortunately, most people are easily tricked into discriminating against one group or another, whether it’s based on skin color, sexual orientation or nationalism. It’s all stupid and it’s all pandering by politicians who generally know better. Why do we, in 2006, still hate and discriminate against each other? Haven’t we figured out the trick by now?

I guess it’s always easier to blame somebody else.

Tomorrow will tell.

After just filing suit against Apple Computer a few days ago, Creative Technology has found itself sued for patent infringement by none-other-than Apple. Apple’s retaliation has set off a round of Patent Wars! Turnabout is fair play, I suppose. Creative really brought this on themselves, but the really have no choice since they’re getting beat in the MP3 market so badly. I’m so thrilled that our legal system will be clogged up with this snipehunt for years.

Da Vinci, that is. Pretty cool guy.

This is a shout-out to all the moms out there. Be real! Yeah.

What can I say about moms that hasn’t been said? I just gotta appreciate mine. Hope everybody out there got to see or talk to yer moms today.

Peace.
