Net Neutrality is the FCC beginning to censor the internet. You just don’t know it.

It’s a straw man. It’s a nonissue that is a gateway to Google.cn being your homepage. And why not? Google wanted to do business in China so they helped censor the internet. Do you think your ISP needs to go to the trouble?

Routine Traffic Stop – Pt. 1

23, Sep 2009

Josh is right.
Routine traffic stops are unpleasant.
Routine Mexican traffic stops are quite unpleasant.
One night I was driving home in rural Mexico, I got pulled over. It was about 10:30 at night and I was driving up into the foothills of the cerro where I lived. The road was a terrible flat but very rocky “road”. [...]

22, Sep 2009

Let me speak directly to every human on Earth who is ‘in touch’ with god’s will: You insignificant maggot, you don’t have the cognitive ability to comprehend One One-Trillionth of one percent of a divine plan or wisdom.

What is art?
To Andy Warhol, art was oxidized piss on a canvas. To John Cage, it was four minutes and thirty-three seconds of pure silence, (not) played by a full symphony orchestra. But to Marc Quinn, it’s something much stranger and much, much closer to home. You could really say Marc puts [...]

Brick Faced Concrete Walls Inc.

This was the placard on a pickup truck’s door which was parked in my girlfriend’s neighbors’ driveway. Why didn’t they just call the place “It’s a scam”? Of all the things to phone in. Too bad they couldn’t have done detroit and n. state, those god damn CCC eyesores are almost as harmful to vehicles [...]
