It has occurred
That’s the Air, first edition.
Gotta say, this is the first time I’ve seen a hammer & sickle sticker on a vehicle and it not be sarcastic.

Black Friday Trample Death
This generates a very high level of anger in me. How fucking pathetic and embarrassing can our society be? The whole idea of standing in these lines is retarded in the first place. If you have time to wait in some line for 8 hours to save a hundred dollars on something, just do fucking day labor for 8 hours instead, you’ll probably make as much money as you’d save on the deal. I mean it can’t be worse than a sleepless night out in the cold. STUPID. And then to act like fucking savages over some merchandise?
Leave it to the piece of shit, asshole, union-killing son’s of bitches Wal-Mart to call this merely an “unfortunate event”. Is that all it is?
It’s called “Black Friday” for a reason. It was termed as a bad thing to start with. This is NOT any sort of American tradition, this bullshit has only been around since the 70s. If the Reagan era is ending, let’s end this along with it. The whole thing is just embarrassing.
For more outrage, check out the New York Times article about the incident.

Shut Uuuup!
Perhaps Karma was sitting around lately, post election, playing with its dice. Dice, on which it had replaced the numbers with names, such as O’Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh, etc.
It rolled the dice, and it came up.

15 Hours for SATA FAIL
A little skimpy on the updates lately? Yeh? Well, I’ve been focused on a problem I had. A computer problem.
Every few years there pops up some sort of computer issue that engulfs hours and hours of my time. I don’t think I’ve spent this much time trying to get something to work since… I don’t know, trying to get my printer/scanner/copier to actually do all those things at any given moment without needing to power cycle or add/remove kernel modules when switching between printing/scanning? (Linux love) At least I did get that to work in the end… for the most part (black ink = dark gray ink on the print, yay!!).
Here’s the scenario: I have an old PC (Athlon XP 2400, 512mb..) with a 160gb hard drive (of which I can only use 120gb without Windows freaking out, but that’s another story). So, I wanted to put a bigger drive in there because I’m done with burning stuff onto DVDs all the time. Now, I’m planning on upgrading to a new computer in the next few months, so I want to take this new drive with me, or at least use it as an eSATA backup drive. And I certainly don’t want to reinstall Windows on this new drive and all my programs and configure all the settings of everything, just to do it all over again in possibly as little as 2 months from now. So, as foreshadowed, I bought a 1tb SATA drive. If you want to see the ridiculousness that ensued, read on…

from the G.A. Half street half pop singaaaaa!
by the way.. I agree with BBC Music’s review of Out of Control:
Pop music at its finest, Girls Aloud have opened up their hearts, and finally won their battle against drippy, re-hashed ballads. Long may they reign.
Amen!
Also I like that BBC licenses their published work under Creative Commons. That’s dope!

Religulous
I saw Bill Maher’s Religulous tonight. Excellent movie, basically everything I’ve been thinking about organized religion over the past few years put into cinema. Bill’s articulation at the end of the movie is particularly great.
Not particularly great?: The 9/11 truth old man that was bothering me after the movie, criticizing Maher’s position on their plight. Not good enough for him that I said I researched the subject thoroughly and think that there should be more investigation into it.
