It's that time of the year. Domestic terrorist shooting time. It seems to have a season, not unlike fishing or harvest time.

Along with it comes another season: Blaming, Whining and Complaining.

Will Americans actually do something or are they cursed to merely complain and flail their arms in the air helplessly?

An ex-Wal-Mart employee explains why there's never anybody around, and when there is, they don't know anything or are in a bad mood. A very interesting and illuminating explanation for how, in their obsessive quest for increased profits, Wal-Mart has created a business model that thrives on attrition and crappy, burned out employees, who are systematically run-off before they can become competent.

I finally decided to get hip and get an iPod today. I ended up getting he iPod+hp sold at Radio Shack. Unfortunately, I'd like to say it's a cool, fun device, but I'd never know because it's a freakin' nightmare trying to connect to the PC. A word of warning for Windows users out there: the iPod is not ready for prime time. After viewing the forums on various sites, it seems I'm not the only one who has big problems even getting the damn computer to connect to the iPod without crashing. I'd avoid this toy until Apple and their OEMs make it more reliable and compatible with standard PC configurations.

It seems a fed-up Northerner has posted quite a funny and poignant indictment of the country's "red states."

Southpark creators' Republican agenda?

[Rants]
Many people seem to think that Southpark and its creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, are somewhat bipartisian and indescriminatory when it comes to picking on demographic groups or political issues. The reality is much different. Southpark's creators are Republicans and are politically-active, albeit in a low-key way.

This would be fine and dandy had the pair continued to quietly promote their conservative agenda of subtle stereotype reinforcement, but they've become more bold as the election approaches.

No cellulite treatments work permanently, but we keep trying them anyway. Guess what, there is no miracle cure for cellulite, but people will try anything!
