A Blog of Wrath


War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
--John Stuart Mill

Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
--Gen. George S. Patton

If we don't want the world's wealth to be controlled by people with money then the alternative is to have the world's wealth controlled by people with guns. Governments have plenty of guns.
--P.J. O'Rourke

Beer is evidence that G-d loves us and wants us to be happy.
--Ben Franklin

Here are the ACTUAL Seven Wonders of the Web. Though actually, though this one is true, i think it might be out of date too. Like where's Napster, oh wait that crashed.
Also, i'm wondering there have been all these major breakthroughs and revolutions on the web, like napster, and those few things that managed to survive for like more than a minute. Where is the equivalent in the porn-world? Where is "Pornster" already?

 
This is funny; quaint: Seven Wonders of the Web. Interesting because of how out-of-date it is (4 yrs old), but reminds us that EVEN with the internet and computers (Golly-Gosh, Batman!), Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose. Ecclesiastes had that one right. We don't live in a FUCKING marvelous technological universe, everything is EXACTLY the SAME as it EVER WAS!
Remember the days before Google and you had to "play the 'think like a search engine' game."? Ahhh, but i wax nostalgic ...


 
"PUNDITREVIEW is calling it 'PhotoGate.' Enough 'gates' already."
Well said, Mr. Reynolds.

(Please, make me stop, someone, make it stop, this is a plea for help . . . )

 
"In a situation like that, the New York approach is simple. Don't just do something. Stand there." Hmm, maybe this explains why i like living in New York City so much. Perfect personality match . . .

 
For all you jews out there who think that the whole world is out to get us, “'let them read just about any newspaper in Europe, any day, and they’ll see real bias.'" Real Antisemtism, is a sad, and very frightening thing, getting all hot and bothered about the New York Times, or about the writer of _B.C._ is really immature.

P.S.: I like Gary Rosenblatt sometimes, but sometimes he gets a little full of himself, ironically in an article about the Times. "I have long believed it is more fitting for Jewish organizations to place paid obituary and communal announcements in The Jewish Week, . . . rather than in the Times, [. . .] because it benefits this paper financially [and] because we are the paper of record for the New York Jewish community."

 
Oooh look at me, MY rant that i found against blogs is better than the rant YOU found ooooooh . . . The reason why blogs are so popular is for the same reason as why ANYthing is EVER popular: people need something to justify their miserable, pathetic existences. (I am curious about the whole SFSU thing, and i wouldn'a known about it otherwise.)

Joe, you may as well post my email address on your blog, i know i know it's just cuz i should be studying for finals and writin' me papers, please stop, make it stop ... (Apparently also the cause of my really bad british accentsd.)

This is funny, that's the risk of letting me into your universe.
“Blogger? Oh sorry man. I thought you said Frogger.”
I found another ranting website against all this bloggerage, but i don't feel like looking for it. This one cracked me up especially this quote from Dubya:
“Blogger sure is a funny word. Blogger. Blog-grrrr. Heh.” — George W. Bush

Anyhoo, let me know if you find any good make-funs/rants about the whole blogger/internet/help-me-there's too-much media, and i'm drowning in a slush-pile the size of the universe.

I need a vacation from the internet, i need to find a nice quiet place to relax, and then "they" will start to "re-program" me, no! help!

(Joe, btw, if you were to add my name to yer blog, would random people start emailing me? hmmm...)

 
I bet you won't guess how early the first bridge was built. And for all you Washington Heighter's now you can know what the hek that bridge is. (You might have to scroll down the page a bit.)
"Built between 1838 and 1848, it is the oldest remaining bridge connecting Manhattan Island with mainland USA. Edgar Allan Poe wrote of crossing the bridge in his midnight walks."

Hey...I'm not writing this for any reason, i might spell this wrong, you know what's a good TV show, but is off the air now? _Early Edition_ It's a cool show, it's about a non-super super hero, and i really like it, and i'm just posting this because i can. HA! HA! HA! Anyway, i think that conservative thought is cool! But also, i bet you don't know how to use the word "meretricious" in a sentence. SO THERE! Oh yeah, also, i think that i have to go now, see you later, if you want to email me, ok, but think twice before you destroy the world! And another thing: "of" will be the new "have" after the revolution comes. I like the X Files, i really don't but that's what's on now, i think the red-haired one is a girl. I also think that they took the other, non-red-haired, non-girl, one, off the air, but they tried to pretend that he was still part of the show, and that secretly the girl-one was carrying his baby, and you know what that means ....
