My New Job

Been at it for two days, haven't slept but eight hours in the past 72. My back hurts, my legs are sore from carrying equipment up flights of theatre stairs...

Yet, I am at peace. To all the spokesmen for old money who erroneously claim people would rather sit on their collective asses and collect welfare rather than work: fuck you.

Having no purpose will do in a person. But I have no time for further admonishments, there is sleep to be had...
Finally.

I'm on Playstation Home

My moniker is MildlyBrilliant. Original I know, but easy to remember. If you have Call of Duty: World at War add me and we can partake in some zombie pwnage. I also have Tekken6. Otherwise, look for me in the bowling alley by the pool tables.

My comic alter ego revised... Again.

This is just a quick snapshot of what the new sidebar may look like.

Just cleared two million...

...in online poker. Not but a week ago I was at $1.2 million. I've been playing $500/1000 tables and have been practicing for the real thing. The funds are getting tight and I need to generate some income. Now that I hit my mark, I believe I can do so as long as I play conservatively.

Myth of the Liberal Media

Noam Chomsky explains the myth of the Liberal Media™ and the fallacious "proofs" that support this claim.

Walmart owes me $416.22

Last night my nephew and I decided to go out and get a PS3 and Tekken 6. We tried to get it from Best Buy but they closed right before we got there. So I went against my better judgment and thought I'd give Walmart a try. When we got there they had two units left. The lady brought me one that was apparently discounted as the box a little beat up. It normally would have been $399 but it was $299, came with a game (Uncharted) and had the 160 GB hard drive. A good deal I thought, until I tried to set it up at home. It was missing the power source and upon further inspection was dirty and scratched up. I packed it back up and went back to the store where they told me I had to come back the next day when the manager was back and they would look at the cameras to see who stocked it in the case.

So I return today around five so I could bring it to my friend's Halloween party. They tell me the serial numbers don't match and so therefore I have to take it up with the manufacturer. They print out a sheet with serial numbers on it and tell me sorry for the inconvenience. "What about the gas I spent driving back here twice? I don't get any compensation? What the hell? Am I assed out $400 dollars?!?" "Sir, just contact the manufacturer."

I plan to, and then I plan on talking to some higher ups. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" my father always said.

Update: I went back again later that night and got everyone's name and the number for the head manager and will be calling him Monday. If he doesn't give me what I want I will just go higher. I will keep y'all posted.

Limbaugh refers to Obama as a "threat" to those "people in this country who want to be free"

You -- In 2008, in our presidential election, we had a, a, a war veteran, Vietnam War veteran, John McCain, against an elitist, five-minute career senator of a hundred and fifty days. That senator was running as a Democrat, and had actively sought the defeat of the U.S. military in Iraq -- had actively sought to undermine General Petraeus, who was the author of the surge that led to a turnaround in Iraq and a victory. And now that same man is dithering in Afghanistan while American soldiers -- not Bush soldiers, not Obama soldiers, American soldiers -- are dying. At record numbers.

The threat that people in this country who want to be free face is now within our own borders. That's the stark reality. We'll be back.

--Rush Limbaugh

And when someone takes Oxycontin's claim seriously and decides that the threat needs to be neutralized, will this joker accept his role in inciting it?

Quote du Jour

"Now we are face to face once again with a period of heightened peril. The risks are great, the burdens heavy, the problems incapable of swift or lasting solution. And under the strains and frustrations imposed by constant tension and harassment, the discordant voices of extremism are heard once again in the land. Men who are unwilling to face up to the danger from without are convinced that the real danger comes from within. They look suspiciously at their neighbors and their leaders. They call for a 'man on horseback' because they do not trust the people. They find treason in our finest churches, in our highest court, and even in the treatment of our water. They equate the Democratic Party with the welfare state, the welfare state with socialism, and socialism with communism. They object quite rightly to politics' intruding on the military -- but they are anxious for the military to engage in politics."

--John F. Kennedy, November 18, 1961, referring to the teabaggers of his time.
