Politics, Technology, Humor… You know, a general waste of time.

Shut the fuck up and eat

How come any time I use power tools to do even the simplest of home improvements I feel more manly? All I did was mount a power strip on the wall and attach the keyboard tray to my desk but since I used a power drill I suddenly feel like Chuck Norris. Speaking of which, always remember kids, Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep, he waits.

Also, I know it’s not Monday technically… but I haven’t slept yet so in my mind, this still counts as a Motivator Monday post.

Apparently General Motors thinks the best way forward is to get rid of their good products and keep making the crap. Downsizing Pontiac and axing Saturn altogether? Come on. My super unscientific survey of people I know tells me that Saturn and Pontiac are the two brands from GM that they trust. I own a Saturn and absolutely love it. I’ve had no problems with it and now they go and kill the whole brand? That’s the last straw, my next car will be foreign. I’m thinking probably German since they actually produce their well engineered cars instead of scraping them. I hope the GM execs that made these moves get canned, tarred and feathered.

The following two videos are not for the weak of heart (or stomach). Both of these excerpts from the documentary “Outlaw” were featured on BoingBoing TV. I felt that they tied in nicely with my last post so I’m posting them here. I urge anyone that feels that the torture that the Bush administration engaged in to watch these videos. Imagine that you were these people, detained for no reason, indefinitely, tortured and denied even the most basic human rights. This is the kind of thing the Nazis did leading up to and during WW2. What makes us think that we should be able to do this kind of thing?
