This is what we trained for, people: blog posts. What good would a website be without random things I wrote?

Assorted Haiku

August 23rd, 2010 No Comment

Whilst cleaning out my hard drive today, I found a document entitled Assorted Haiku, a collection of haiku on various topics I apparently wrote during my senior year of high school. Here they are.

Birth
Now buried deeply
Little one is ready to
Escape from the vag.

Whales
She is beautiful
Large and slick; the world blowhole
Is a misnomer.

Easter
My marshmallow peeps
Some headless, others tailless
Easter’s sadistic.

Senioritis
Cannot concentrate
Why are they making me work
I will make it through.

Penguins
Little tuxedoes
Wandering endlessly
Forever in white.

Why National Health Insurance is Good

July 16th, 2009 One Comment

Somehow, somebody on Digg said something that was not stupid. In a reply to Glenn Beck proving once again he is out of his goddamned mind and making the movie Network all the more prophetic, intrepid Digger nanosec makes a great point:

Here’s an example, if there are 2 car washes, where one charges a nominal fee to get your car washed and the other charges $90,000, which one do you think is going to have a queue? If you remove the cheap one, then you’re going to have people driving around in dirty cars because they cannot afford to have their car washed.

Of course, the horror-stories about long lines in countries with national health insurance are mostly lobbyist scare tactics anyway.

Noah and I put together a little music video inspired by South Carolina governor Mark Sanford’s “I spent the last five days crying in Argentina” speech.

You can also download the song if you want.

Sam Farr Promo

March 31st, 2009 No Comment

Whilst “researching” for the next episode of Murder on a Helicopter, I discovered an old favorite promo that Bartell and I did for KSPB back in the halcyon days. It’s a promo for an interview Bartell and Brian did with Congressman Sam Farr, which was also great.

Give it a listen!

What a Breezy New Design, You Say?

Thank you. I’d just like to thank everyone who made this new site design possible: myself.

Yes, it’s true ladies and gentlebeans, I have put up a new design for my little site. It’s not quite finished, but feel free to love it anyway. I know I do.
