Rise of the culturally stupid

*Sigh* Where do these people come from?

In Utah, Burger King has been forced to apologize to a mother who breastfed her child in a restaurant. Yes, it is entirely legal to do so in that state.

No matter what your stance is on gays, you’ve got to consider that putting up a statue commemorating Matthew Shepard’s death is pretty deplorable. Especially in his hometown. Especially when it pretty much laughs and says he went to hell. Especially when a reverand is behind it all. You can read about this pathetic miscreant imbecile and his sick plans here.

Evil Ned points us to a bit of revisionist history at Time magazine. I’ve taken the liberty of using the Wayback Machine to verify the story (this is what I came up with).

Jessica Lynch suddenly realizes that she has been used by the government (curiously after her book came out). Go figure. I’ve heard enough rips on this gal from my brother to feel that I am unworthy of speaking out about how much a disservice this whole thing has been to her, us, and – more importantly – every other soldier that was captured, injured, or killed in Iraq.

Maybe we’re all working (or trying to find work) in the wrong fields. CBS has a story about the 10 most overpaid jobs in the US.

Will someone save us from the inbreds among us?

Okay, this is where good taste and morality get tossed out the window like stank mop bucket water. I link this monstrosity to just emphasize the dark side of gaming development. I do not condone it or even presume to know what the hell these morons were thinking. I will, however, also link you to an online petition to hopefully appeal to whatever shred of common decency these guys have left. Thanks to Dave from the FES gaming group for the heads-up on this.

They don’t need no steenking badges

Well, we are packing up our stuff and and progressively realizing that we have a lot of it.

As for today’s title, some county deputies popped into my building last week to serve me a subpeona about a case I very, VERY marginally was involved in a couple years back. Basically, as is an ongoing thread at this university, the occasional odd professor here likes to use lots of bandwidth to download his smut. Yes, I have probably created some liability by saying that and also violated the “Oklahoma Loyalty Oath” they made me sign before starting to work here. Yes, I’m miffed about this too.

Thus far, the district attorney’s office does not seem to care that my input is horribly minimal or that I will be moving soon.

Tomorrow, we attempt to call someone with authority at the Shilo Institute for Customer Disservice. We sent a letter last week. Hopefully the gal we wrote will be the first decent managerial type we’ve dealt with thus far.

Would you like tartar sauce with that McChicken?

Well, I’m probably gonna have to post a special rant on the Message Board to even cover all the stuff we have run into over the past week. Concerning the page title, that’s a whole long story. As for this entry title, absolutely avoid the McDonalds in Colby, KS if you value your digestive tract.

We did manage to have a good time and meet interesting people and travel to some really fun places. It is just the horrifically stupid imbeciles we dealt with along the way that I am now taking to time to laugh at…now that its over. Point yourself over to the Rant section of the message board if you want to know more about our adventures.

For your entertainment value, an odd page about the sounds you see in comic strips. Also, a link to the most demented system technicians alive (I forgot to link it before we left).
