Ramblings… nonsensical ramblings… wildly nonsensical ramblings…
There is a reason I don’t watch anything that Bill O’Reilly is in… chief among the reasons, this clip on YouTube (found via ViralVideo Chart).
O’Reilly is an absolute ass, and I can’t help but agree with Geraldo.
Oh, how sad it is when I start to agree with Geraldo Rivera…
This is awesome: Ticket Reserve
They basically act as an exchange for game tickets… so you could buy rights to NCAA Championship game tickets if your team plays in the game. Great concept.
I came across this on Viral Video Chart and had to share it… I am a big fan of the original Hurt song by NIN (Nine Inch Nails) as well as the remix by Johnny Cash. Now I can add Kermit to the list of impressive covers.
As a warning, even though this is Kermit the Frog, the content is not suitable for children or family gatherings… or several other locales while we’re at it…
An entertaining quote from Mao Xian:
I should have taken the money spent on business school and leased a Bloomberg terminal and explored it for fourteen months instead. With the savings, I could have gone to night school at DeVry in New Brunswick and learned how to program instead. In other words, I could have done something useful and productive, instead of getting a stupid MBA. Live and learn.
…the MBA is just a union card, it’ll open doors in the corporate world, especially if you went to a Top 20 school, but who wants to be a suit?
The European Central Bank was nice enough to put together this educational video that explains price stability and (as per the sub-title) why it is important to you.
I’m richly amused by the animation techniques that allow them to dub different languages with the same animated visuals… here’s the French, German, and Spanish versions… The ECB usually issues press releases in 20 different languages, I’m guessing they have a video for each one.
Now if we can just get people here in the US to understand price stability…
Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles.

I’ve often wondered why I am drawn to Libertarianism…
Philosophy of Liberty is a cute little animation that tries to distill Liberty down to a format that you can share with children (though many adults could benefit from seeing it…).
As Wally says, sadness is just another word for “not enough coffee”… Yet sometimes you can have too much. Here’s a favorite except of mine…
“As I sat with a jug of Jahavan coffe, each molecule of which is
programmed to pelt round the body kicking the shit out of any alcohol
molecules it finds. I considered where to go from here…By the time I finished the jug I was completely sober. More sober than I
wanted to be, in fact: I’d drunk to much coffee and was now too far in
the black, sobriety-wise. It made me notice things like … { insert
introspective thinking } … See what I mean? Foolish, unhelpful
thoughts. I took a look at the packet of Jahavan and saw I’d picked up
Extra Strength by mistake. ‘Warning’, it said in the blurb. ‘Anyone
except alcoholics may find themselves experiencing foolish and unhelpful
thoughts’.… I went into the kitchen and threw the coffee away. I don’t need that
kind of shit from a beverage.”-Only Forward, Michael Marshall Smith
