If you can find the episodes, you should watch
Spaced.
Tim: You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese.

My Beef With Big Media by Ted Turner "I freely admit: When I was in the media business, especially after the federal government changed the rules to favor large companies, I tried to sweep the board, and I came within one move of owning every link up and down the media chain. Yet I felt then, as I do now, that the government was not doing its job. The role of the government ought to be like the role of a referee in boxing, keeping the big guys from killing the little guys. If the little guy gets knocked down, the referee should send the big guy to his corner, count the little guy out, and then help him back up. But today the government has cast down its duty, and media competition is less like boxing and more like professional wrestling: The wrestler and the referee are both kicking the guy on the canvas."
Like him or not, at least he still mentions professional wrestling.
Fiber optic network access from home still isn't here, but it's
coming soon. "A connection of up to 15mbps is available for $45 a month if purchased as part of the same telephone service bundle, or $50 alone." That is five times faster than pretty much anything around here.
When Dick Cheney told the senator to screw himself, he was just following in the footsteps of Pierre Trudeau, a former Canadian Prime Minister who
flipped off protesters. "Hughes, his wife and a friend waved protest signs in the former prime minister's face. In fair exchange, Trudeau smiled his gracious smile and gave each of them the finger.
"It was very honest," says Hughes earnestly."

This just in from the amygdala:http://apnews1.iwon.com//article/20040709/D83NG6FO0.html?PG=home&SEC=newsThe important part: "As recounted on the show's Web site, the officer flouted guidelines by making the motorist get out of the car, then locking his keys inside and telling him to catch a cab home. The encounter ultimately ended with officers having to wrestle the enraged suspect to the ground and arrest him."
To all law enforcement officials who abuse their power like this, I say:
EAT SHIT AND DIE!Furthermore, "we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat."
Mr. Cranky review for Fahrenheit 9/11It's barely about the movie, but lots of fun ranting about politics.

high temperature of 92 degrees.I am not bitter. Not at all.
Funny (from a certain point of view)
