Berkeley California is probably one of the most liberal cities in the entire state. So it comes as no surprise that a Marine recruiting office has been the site of numerous protests since the Iraq war started. While there is nothing wrong with these protests and it’s every citizen’s right to exercise free speech, the group Code Pink however has just pushed things too far. I mean seriously, they have called on their members to bring witches hats and spells for Friday’s protest and that’s just fucking stupid. The only reason they did this was to draw media attention. You see, poor Code Pink barely has any members left and the media hasn’t even really been following their protest until this gem popped up on the wires.

It’s not that I have anything against witchcraft, I just think Code Pink missed the mark with their idea. If you’re going to be outrageous and try and stop young men and women from enlisting in the Marine Corp they need to go far beyond witchcraft. I’m think something along the line of Voodoo protest day: they could sacrifice what few members they have left as an offering to the gods of war to stop war all together. Maybe that’s a bit subtle, how about run naked and jump into a tree shredder theme? Since they’re an all female protest group, that may stop people from entering the recruitment office until they run out of people to shred.

Honestly, these groups consider themselves progressive and on the edge, and witchcraft is the best they could do. Personally, unless they’re going to do something that causes injury or death to themselves, I just can’t be bothered to listen to their side of the story. The upside to doing things like I suggest is in rather short order the group would cease to exist. Really there is no downside to my ideas, as far as I can see. We the general public will get a free show and one more loudmouth group of protesters will be out of our hair.  I call that a win-win.

So basically this is a tale of two morons in my book. They’re not necessarily morons for what happened as much for wasting the court’s time with stupid lawsuits. Basically moron A was driving along when moron B’s dog slipped past her and got out in the road and was run over by moron A. The dog was all of thirteen pounds and yet if you believe moron A, it ruined his radiator and caused him to miss time and work to get the repairs made. Naturally, moron B is counter-suing moron A for the cost of the dog plus time lost dealing with court appearances.

It’s bad enough that the poor dog got killed and yet how is this worthy of a civil litigation? When did we as a society decay to such a point that two parties can’t work out a simple matter of what amounts to a traffic fender bender. Sure a poor dog was killed and that’s sad, but it sure ain’t worth going to fucking court over. Speaking of the dog, has his or her relatives been notifyed and will they be compensated for the loss? I’m betting neither of the morons in this Greek tragedy thought of that.

The solution to stupid lawsuits is really simple and should be put into affect in all fifty states. The idea would be no matter the outcome of the case both parties should be charged triple the normal court fees in instances of frivolous suits like this. I don’t care if the judge throws the case out at the first hearing, if you take a nice chunk of green out these tools wallets, they’ll think twice about suing the next time. It’s stupid cunts like this that are ruining the world and we need to start making them pay large for their stupidity.

There are few genres of gaming I don’t love. Adventure gaming was probably one of the first types of gaming I was introduced to as far as PC games. And of course, that’s because of Mother Goose’s Mixed Up Nursery Rhymes (or whatever it was called), King’s Quest, and a few other older ones. The point is that adventure games have certain come a long way, but where do they stand now? What’s the frequency at which they come out in common day?

It appears that Hillary just won’t take no for an answer. After tonight’s win in Indiana and a loss in North Carolina, she still seems determined to fight on, right up to the convention. Even though she still trails Obama by quite a bit, it’s almost certain this battle will head to the convention floor. She even appealed to her supporters to donate funds so she can continue her campaign.

As I talked about in a previous story on this race, the Democrats as a party are shooting themselves in the ass by letting this continue. If this was anyone but Herr Hillary they would have been forced to bow out at this point. While it’s still uncertain how much of an effect this will have on the main campaign against the Republican nominee, it can’t be helping. Why hasn’t Howard Dean grown a set of nuts yet and told Hillary to fucking quit? It has to make you wonder how much swing good old Hillary and Bill have in the party these days.

This would be the perfect year for another party to step into the spotlight. If one of the lesser known parties was able to capitalize on the mess the Democrats are making and the fact that John McCain isn’t the strongest of candidates, the results could be impressive. It will never happen as the general voting public is made up of mostly sheep, who will blindly follow the major two parties, and it’s why we have such shitty candidates. If the general public ever decided that enough was enough and voted for a smaller party, this country may get better rather than worse as it currently is.

-In case you’re wondering, yes, RAW was in Toronto. And yes, I live near Toronto. However, I didn’t go to RAW last night. Why didn’t I go to RAW last night, or ANY WWE show this weekend (there was a house show 10 minutes away from my house)? Well, I had a choice, WWE this weekend, or Queens of the Stone Age next weekend. I went with Queens of the Stone Age, as I decided to spend money on the thing I’d most likely like.

It appears that the new craze of touring slums in parts of the world may have hit a snag. According to this report a tour company in Rio De Janeiro was hooking up tourists with drug dealers, but not for retail purchases. No, it seems that some tourists wanted to hear all about these thugs’ hard life as a Brazilian drug pushers. Some of the dealers even posed for pictures as long as they didn’t show their faces. Now the company may possibly have its tour license pulled as a result.

For the life of me I can’t understand this current fucking infatuation some tourists have with taking a tour through a getto. The last damn thing I want to do if I’m vacationing in another country is see what poverty looks like. I came to look at beautiful women and get sun burned on a beach, if I want to see poverty I can head to the nearest trailer parks. Hell, they’re conveniently located in just about every region of the U.S. and most of the time you don’t need a guide. You may need a gun to get the fuck back out, but that’s an entirely different issue.

The general public has apparently become so fucking stupid that they are willing to pay for this kind of shit. Well, if that’s the case then how about guided tours of a slaughter house or a sewage treatment plant? I would really love to meet somebody who was fucking stupid enough to go on one of these slum tours. Partially to ask them what the Hell they were thinking and partially to see how much money I could get out of them with minimal effort on my part.

I’ve been out of college for three years now, and there are various aspects that I miss about it. I miss being able to get a calzone at 3 in the morning. I miss having a bunch of friends in rooms down the hall from me, where I could walk around at any hour of the night and there would be somebody playing Playstation with their door open. I miss midday naps during the week.

One thing I don’t miss, however, is the pretentiousness. This is the story of Willie Jacobson.

Square-Enix has left me in quandary lately. On the one hand, I was a devout follower through the NES, SNES, and even PS1 days…but lately, I feel like they’ve failed me. Being the fanboy I am, I’m always hopeful they’ll be coming out with “the next big thing” that isn’t just a magnified Japanese man’s penis (and we’re talking some kinda space telescope magnification obviously).

Ah, the quickening seat of desire, the flicker of romance. There is a girl that I like, called Rebecca, and she is the one girl I can never find a word to say to. Here, is what I would want to say, followed by what I probably would say to her, thereby alienating her forever. It’s called “Good Letter, Bad Letter”
