Entry 78 - I need to be more active in causes I believe in.


I need to be more active in causes I believe in.

martha stewart sucks



This one, for instance. I figure if nothing else, sending her back to the joint will keep the so-called news media from jamming their heads up her ass and broadcasting from beginning to end her bullshit propaganda; Lord knows, the poor thing needs an extra billion dollars or so.

If I was a pessimist, I would probably think that episodes like this spell the beginning of the end of Western civilization. But no—I am an optimist. I'll just keep on hoping she fails.



Pessimist: "The glass is half empty."
Optimist: "No, it is half full."
Pessimist: "Half empty!"
Optimist: "Half full!"
Pessimist: "Look, we could go on arguing like this all day—can we at least agree the glass is not full yet?"

I dunno, Microsoft likes hiring programmers who posess neither an appropriate sense of scale nor much of an ability to foresee problems. . . I suppose for them it is like

Microsoft Programmer:"Hrmm. . . The glass might not hold water, but it sure looks pretty -- Not our problem if everyone who wants a drink has to put a finger in the hole."

Okay, perhaps the metaphor has been extended too far now.

Microsoft programmer: Not our fault. Consult your water manufacturer.

Update: NBC news ran a story the weekend of March 19th, 2005 that consisted of Martha Stewart griping because her the ankle bracelet she has to wear as a condition of her parole was "chafing".
