School District Spies on Students Using Webcams in School-Issued Laptops

In a case that’s both bizarre and incredibly disturbing, more motions have been filed in the lawsuit against the Lower Merion School District (in a Philadelphia suburb) accusing the IT department of spying on high school students via the webcams in school-issued laptops. I am crapping you negative.
Here’s how it went down originally: A few [...]

Iranian Protesters Get Beaten and Killed

Tea Party protesters go to Burger King for sliders
If there’s one thing that makes me want to bitch-slap the trustafarians whining about Starbucks, it’s this:
Yesterday, on the 31st anniversary of the Iranian Revolution, anti-Ahmadinejad protests took place throughout the country. Not so long ago, what went on at protests in countries like Iran was kept [...]

Hugo Chavez to Twitter Users: Terrorists!

Venezuelan President & musical theater fan wants state control over Internet
Well, as goes Mexico, so apparently goes Venezuela. While not as damaging to lives and countries as Bush 43’s attempt to tie 9/11 to Iraq, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez (shown here after trying out for the Venezuelan road company of Pirates of Penzance) is making [...]

Taylor Swift Sucks Out Loud on Grammys

Michael Jackson “Earth Song” an insipid mess.
I stopped watching the Grammys a long time ago; before I started earning a living as a recording engineer, before a label insider told me what I had long suspected: that the entire thing was rigged like a Cuban election. I stopped watching simply because it was too painful [...]

Shit That’s Got To Stop

If I were king (not queen, not prince, not duke)
I’m the first to admit that I’m easily irritated. At least once a day (though I’ll admit that number can go as high as 40 or 50 times a day), I’ll complain to Joanna about something that really “irritates the shit out of me” (an expression [...]

The Horrible Hackiness of Seth MacFarlane

“Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show”: not live, not comedy. Just a whole lot of suck.
Seth MacFarlane, the creator and star of Family Guy, and Alex Borstein, who voices Lois on the show, have teamed up to launch a salvo of shit into your living room this Sunday night.
I just made the horrible mistake [...]

I’d Rather Smoke Pot In A Malibu Than Huff Aerosol In A Matrix

Or: the decline of civilization (this time it’s real)
Complaints about “young people today” probably go back to the Australopithecus complaining about “those damn kids, what with their evolving, and their using tools to do things, and that whole standing erect thing…” For the most part, these sorts of comments seem to come from a generation [...]

The Soundtrack To A Shattered Self Image

At least the music’s good.
When I was growing up, what you heard at the supermarket (besides “price check on Light Days Panty Liners please!”) was usually Muzak. And if it wasn’t Muzak, it was some other equally nausea-inducing crap that the supermarket radio programmers thought would appeal to old people like, say, my parents. [...]
