Kill me now.

what, and miss the chance to come to work dressed like this guy?

(the one in the housecoat, not the robot. unless of course you sleep in a robot suit, in which case you would be dressed like the robot).

of course if it were Dick Cheney's dog, the hunter probably would have ended up apologising to the dog

or the dog would have drunkenly shot dude in the face from out the window of his jeep.

The Afterlife Grand Old Opry keeps getting better and better.

RIP Porter.

Thank goodness the police force is investing so much time, money and effort into catching these hardened criminals, who are causing so much distress to poor music industry magnates instead of wasting time solving burglaries and other such trivial crimes.

Done and done.

Great idea.

I'm reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkin.

Me' date=' too.

For the second time.

Except the one I'm reading is by Richard Dawkins.

[/quote']

I listened to the audiobook of "the God Delusion" read by Richard Dawkins and enjoyed it immensely.

I'm now on to "The Art of the Commonplace," a collection of essays by Wendell Berry. I heard about Wendell through Michael Pollan's book "the Omnivore's Dilemma," and have since read some of his writings and heard him speak.

He is a strong spokesman for non-industrial farming...one of his best quotes is in reference to industrial monocrop farming. He states that "...industrial farming has taken an elegant solution and divided it neatly into two problems."

happy birthday weezy!

happy birthday! anyone with 42 in their name is okay by me

happy birthday gents!

i'm just getting my head around the idea that Pierre Trudeau and Jesse Helms share the same birthday. so much for astroloigical determinism

Ticketmaster wins injunction against ticket-buying software company

Last Updated: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 | 12:13 PM ET

CBC News

A U.S. judge has granted a preliminary injunction against a software company whose programs allegedly help scalpers cut to the front of Ticketmaster's line and snap up big blocks of tickets.

U.S. District Court Judge Audrey Collins ordered the injunction against RMG Technologies on Monday, saying the software "denies consumers the opportunity to purchase tickets to events at a fair price."

'We will not allow others to illegally divert tickets away from fans.'—Sean Moriarty, Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster alleges RMG's programs help buyers gain fast access to the ticket pool, diverting tickets away from fans. The company says scalpers then resell the tickets at higher prices on other online ticket sites. Ticketmaster filed its lawsuit against RMG in April.

"We will not allow others to illegally divert tickets away from fans," said Ticketmaster chief executive Sean Moriarty in a statement.

In her ruling, Collins referred to a recent incident involving inflated prices for Hannah Montana concert tickets. Consumers complained resellers were offering the tickets, originally priced for between $26 and $66 US, for thousands of dollars.

RIP Carol.

I discovered a very solid documentary on fundamentalists, looking at Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, and other varieties, with adequate caution around the differences - I'd recommend checking it out, if you've got the time.

The Fundamentalists

reminds me of a quote.

"People ask me what a fundamentalist is. I tell them to go look up fundament in the dictionary."

There is Power in a Union - Billy Bragg

There is power in a factory, power in the land

Power in the hands of a worker

But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand There is power in a Union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood

The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for

From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud

War has always been the bosses' way, sir

The Union forever defending our rights

Down with the blackleg, all workers unite

With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands

There is power in a Union

Now I long for the morning that they realise

Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us

But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise

When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us?

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own

Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone

What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child

There is power in a Union

The Union forever defending our rights

Down with the blackleg, all workers unite

With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands

There is power in a Union.
