Milestone

It's taken less time for David Paterson to choose a successor to Hillary Clinton then for James to hear back about whether or not he's got a job he interviewed for 2 months ago.

Your tax dollars at work, grinding away slowly.

On the bright side, I have a new respect for just how inefficient city hall can be.

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies
Category: undead

This one is for (e:james)

On Amazon:

As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton-and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers-and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead.

If it read like that, I'd read it.

Who says literature is dead!

We all know it is undead.

oh... that was funny in two senses. And the second one makes me sad.

Freakiest Gif Ever
Category: internets

I was googling under construction animated gifs for nostalgia value, and came across this:

Um, whoa. The 90's: so near and yet so far far away.

This is one journal where if I read a title like "Freakiest Gif Ever" I know with confidence that it is referring to a picture and is not a misspelling of "Gift."

Joe Bruno Indicted
Category: politics

Source:

A federal grand jury today indicted former state Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno, accusing him of eight counts of public corruption.

What does it say about our state ethics rules and enforcement when the Senate Majority leader of 13 years can take bribes for 15 years? Sure, they are nailing the guy now. But corruption investigations should not take 15 years for an indictment when everyone and their grandmother knew about this shit for over a decade.

Want to fix the hole in the budget? Make bribes taxable and we will have a surplus.

One scumbag down, the rest of them still to go. Thanks for sharing.
