In the News Today

Paris Hilton Charged with DUI in California

Her blood-alcohol content was .08. She was at the limit. Was it really the best use of taxpayers' money to start this media shit storm over someone being at the limit? Also, is this is the best that the media/over-zealous cops could get on her? That's it. I'm officially starting the "Paris in '08" campaign.

Best Company's for Working Moms Listed

IBM offers new mothers the option to take up to 144 weeks of leave. How in the holy fuck does that work? Seriously, do you just leave and be like "hey, guys, see you in 2009"? At least it isn't a technology company or anything where stuff changes all the time.

(p.s. I want my 2 1/2 years of leave, too)

Three Year Old Buys Pink Convertable on the Internet

His mother is a fucking idiot and should not be allowed to have children.

Tall Women More Likely to Have Twins

. . . but less likely to win an olympic gold medal in gymnastics or date Pappy.

Fastow Gets Six Years

I want this man as my company's CEO. Sure, he helped set up Enron for the fall of the century. On the other hand, he agreed to TEN years as part of a plea bargain with prosecuters. Evidently, Judge Ken "as-long-as-you-say-you're-sorry" Hoyt was feeling generous.

Side note: Fastow's wife served a year in federal prison for all of the shit that happened. How many times do you have to take out the trash to make up for that?

Spellings Backs Ideas to Shake Up Colleges

Big Idea Number 1: Create "a massive information system" to help parents and students evaluate colleges. Umm, I think Al Gore already invented the internet.

These are our leaders people. The U.S. Department of Education needs to fire Margie Spellings and hire a group of five fifth-year journalism students to put a bunch of website links on the DOE webpage. There. I just balanced the fucking budget.

Couple of thoughts.
1. You don't deserve ANY comments because you didn't comment on my last post. Luckily, I'm incredibly bored.

2. Paris: She was above the legal limit. She was charged with a DUI. Not a waste of tax payers' money to treat celebrities the same as non-celebriteis. Now, if you want to talk about how stupid it is that the media gave it this much attention, that's another issue. It's kinda like when the Bush twins were caught drinking underage. They were having, like, a glass of wine, with like, their grandma.

3. Working moms: did you notice Cornell is on there? Also, pretty much all of the best companies are on one of the two coasts. Omaha and Chicago are the only midwestern cities I saw on there.
Not sure what to say about that except, "well crap."

3. "Buy her now! Buy her now!" You totally would've put me up on eBay.

4. Surprised you didn't comment on T.O.'s suicide attempt. Hard to comment on someone you despise trying to kill himself without coming out looking like a jackass. Good decision.
