public enemy #1

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

I’m mostly ok physically after my encounter yesterday with humankind’s Public Enemy #1 but I’m sure the mental scars will take a long time to heal…
The beast ran up to me as I was walking my dog yesterday. Mind you my dog is a pretty beefy looking pit bull but that didn’t deter the monster […]

new healthcare plan

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

It’s that time of the year when medical insurance companies wield their collective cock of corporate greed, and decide that they could use another $300 billion in net profits for the coming year…while holding their gnarly looking dorks in their hands.

Beatrix Kiddo: Yes? (cocked eyebrow ready to fire)
CFO: Everything under my favorites is gone. Gone! When is the IT guy coming by?
BK: He was here yesterday and upgraded all your software. Are you sure they are gone?
CFO: Yes, there’s nothing. Give me his phone number! […]
