Sorry for the double blog, but I just read an article on Bobby Fischer ( the chess player ) that blew my fucking mind
Apparently, Mr. Fischer went to Yugoslavia to play his arch-rival Boris Spassky in 1992 in defiance of several UN sanctions. He’s been on the run since then from the US government.
He’s been in Japan for 3 years, and recently got busted at Narita airport, where he’s currently detained, awaiting deportation back to the US. Check the last paragraph of the article, too – maybe it’s propoganda, but it seems like my man is a stone cold radical.

It looks like I’ll be done working on Aug. 14th – we decided not to launch on time, so my services are no longer required. C’est la vie, I suppose. I can definitely use the rest.
I want you to check this out for a moment. Does the cold precision of this bother you at all?

Fiber to the premises ( FTTP ), ladies and gentlemen. 30mbps of goddamn pure speed, straight to your door, $35/month. Fuck yeah.
I’m gonna have so much fiber I’ll be pooping for a YEAR, you sons of bitches. You hear me? I’ll have more fiber than a goddamn cereal factory. I’m going be surfing the net over here in the future, while your cable modems and DSL lines clunk along like a sad, pathetic 52k modems. Maybe, every now and then, you can come over my house and just bask in the glow of all that speed, but rest assured that that bandwidth is mine and mine alone. You will not be able to have any, and you will go back home all weepy-eyed because I have something you don’t have. I have a chunk of the future, and you are nothing more than a Luddite plebe with nothing. Nothing, you hear me?!
I wonder if they offer it in my area…

Not usually, anyway.
For those of you who think I haven’t been sending out emails lately – my email has been completely fucked up, and I don’t know why. I’m only getting something like 4 or 5 emails a day – down from about 200. Also, I’m sending out messages and no one has been receiving them.
I’m going to send out a blanket email soon with a new email address, if I can’t get things resolved in the next few days.
Sorry in advance!

I’m hoping that some of you are breathing a sigh of relief, no matter how short lived.
Look, I quite frankly don’t give a shit where you stand on homosexuality – whether you think it’s wrong or right is completely irrelevant in this case. The US Constitution should never be used as a weapon to restrict the rights of others; the power of Amendment should only be used to better society, and opening up the doorway to an abridgement of freedom is like taking a step back into the fucking Stone Age. I know we are a fundamentalist Christian culture, but let’s combine the Church and State with a little more subtlety so I don’t have to be completely outraged all the time.
If you’re a liberal, your stance should be that this abridges the freedom of the individual, and you should go back to rolling over and getting the shit kicked out of you by Republicans. If you’re a conservative, your stance should be that the federal government is outside its jurisdiction in trying to tell the States what to do, and you should go back to hording money and praying to Jesus to kill Iraqis or polish your SUV or whatever it is you do.
Case closed.

Sometimes the Onion is about other people, and you laugh. Other times, it’s about you and your friends. This isn’t as enjoyable.
PS Anyone want a slightly used dog? He eats cat doots and poops and throws them up all over the house, and this whammy of double-foulness makes me angrier beyond my ability to function. If you don’t own cats, or you hate cleaning the litterbox, this dog is for you.
