Ron Paul's Fort Knox paranoia proves that legal mari*uana is key to the future of cheap, political entertainment..

Srihari Y. posted an article on - Jun 28, 2011, 2:55 am
Ron Paul is worried that the Treasury officials have swindled Fort Knox and sold it to foreign powers. Either that, or he worries they are just about to do that. So, he wants tax payers to spend millions of dollars to make sure that the taxpayers don't end up losing millions of dollars. Don't get cy...

The world may be on fire, but heck let's talk about how my iPhone made me miss Yoga

I always figured that people who pay premium for a brick and think they are part of an innovation must have an element of genius (yeah, that is the adjective I wanted to use, right?!). Now, they seem to be struck with selflessness too. That's right - they are selfless. All their energy is focused o...

That's right, you read the title! You can read the story as reported in Mercury News, and it reads like a January's fool kinda news story.

That's right...Linux is on the radio. "Say what", you say? "Bazinga!", I say. Well, dedicated to the fictitious, yet, affable Dr. Sheldon Cooper, this radio station has a voice that broadcasts the latest stable kernel of Linux, now at 3.6.1 using eSpeak (there's some geek-speak for you), an open so...

So, tea is the new Kool-Aid. Jamestown is now upon us...okay, enough with the disaster scenarios. For someone who drank "ocho" and learned about the practice of Zen, I am tired of this nonsense with Glenn Beck. Even saying his name wants me to throw up. In any case, why sit and whine?

It was really hard to come up with a title for the post. Not that the topic was a tough one, but that there are so many titles that there is no end...however, I chose "titillating" from the article referenced here. It seems quaintly appropriate. And I know I am a little late on the post, but when it...

Alright, you get paid for writing stuff and stuffing people's emails. You also get to call yourself editors and such other wonderful titles.

It is one thing for people to call Toyota customers stupid, it is something really entertaining to watch Toyota do the same thing! And that, my dear friends is exactly what your not-so-fr...

The people on the ship attack you with sticks and you respond with guns. Israel - you have gone mad. The...

Yahoo! is one hell of a meandering giant that has no reason to exist and yet, it continues to do so. And when it comes to the choice of their CEOs, while you would say that logic dictates that they "never get it right", from an entertainment stand point of view, they make the best choices!

You know how it is, right? You work hard for years, systematically covering up all the dirt under the carpet and calling all other religions weak.
