- What does all the software I enjoy using and ATI video cards have in common? ATI video cards won’t work with Fake UNIX (Linux).
- Producers of the The Comic Book Haters podcast have announced the first annual Schooly Awards. Voting ends June 31 and people of Irish decent are discouraged from participating.
- Steve of Steve Likes to Curse has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the MySpace page of Deryk Schlessinger, son of conservative radio fake psychologist Laura Schlessinger. In case you haven’t heard, young Deryk is a soldier stationed in Afghanistan fighting the enemies of freedom. When he’s not doing that, he evidently is posting cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation on MySpace. Has any good ever come from MySpace? I hate MySpace. Make sure to checkout my MySpace page. It’s awesome!
- Marvel Comics is at it again. The cover of HEROES FOR HIRE #13 features three young women wearing tight revealing clothing with their hands chained above them on a stone pillar. There is some kind of tentacle creature feeling them up. Who’s calling the shots over at Marvel, Deryk Schlessinger?
- Some kind of massive outage hit XM Radio yesterday. I thought it was my radio. While driving home from work I was constantly losing the XM signal. I even stopped at one point to see if my antenna was still where it was supposed to be. It would have been nice if the good people of XM Radio could have perhaps made an announcement that they were having problems. It wasn’t like it was constantly down. Instead I had to learn about it later from reading the Internet. My opinion of XM Radio has really taken a dive lately.
- John Edwards currently running for third-place for the Democratic Presidential nomination is calling for mandatory military service. He said that we should have some level of mandatory service so that everybody in America and not just poor kids are serving this country. What a hypocritical prick. Edwards never served in the military. Who is he to call for mandatory military service?
For the record, even the Irish can vote for the Schooly Awards. Just don’t tell Sloofus or he’ll only count your vote as 3/5ths of a regular vote.
Please don’t tell Sloofus I posted this, as I am part Irish on my paternal grandfather’s side.
I’m part Irish, too. Don’t blame me; I just do what Comic Book Robot commands.
Kudos on your most satisfactory MySpace page, Rick. Christ, you’re really 6′6″? I have a friend who lives in northern Pennsylvania who comes down to visit about once a year; he’s about 6′4″, and every time my Dad sees him the first words out of Dad’s mouth are always “GodDAMN you’re a tall motherfucker.”
As far as Edwards’s call for mandatory service, to paraphrase Barack Obama, if he’s so ginned-up to draft people into the military, maybe he ought to sign-up himself. I’m sure they’ll take him, as he seems more or less able-bodied. My best friend’s father-in-law is in the National Guard Reserves; he’s in his mid-50s, has hepatitis, and is being deployed to Iraq later this year. Edwards is a shoe-in.
Yes, I’m really 6-6. I’m also fat so it all kinda evens out.
