Three seperate lawsuits are now facing the McDonald’s corporation. And all three of them are going to get thrown out, if I’m understanding them correctly. All three center around McDonald’s french fries, which McDonald’s publicly acknowledged last week contain milk and wheat ingredients. One child allergic to gluten became ill after eating the fries, and [...]
First of all, I love the Olympics, even if it is the greatest time-suck known to man. What I mean is, you sit down, flip on NBC, USA, CNBC, MSNBC, or Universal HD, and you’re completely sucked in. You watch event after event. NBC claims to average 24.5 hours of coverage across all of its [...]
I’ve been throwing around in my head for a few days now how to write this, so I’m going to cut to the chase: I sell cosmetics. And I’m proud of it, dammit.
I know, you’re probably shocked. A male engineering student, selling makeup? Why? Because I’ll need money for grad school. Because Cutco Knives [...]

It takes a lot to get me to write about politics, especially when there’s plenty of other stuff on my plate, but the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq(PDF Courtesy of the Beeb) is the most laughable document I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a while. It is little more than overt propaganda for [...]

I always get a big kick out of the kind of commercials shown during the time when most people are at work. Apparently, the target audience is people who have crashed their car, are out of work, have menopause, need fast cash now, etc. Which, if you’re at home from 10-3, there’s a good chance [...]

When I read about the Delhi cow problem a few days ago, I wondered how they were going to handle repeat cow business. It turns out the government has its answer.
I’m impressed with the government’s handling of the problem. The Delhi government is providing $1.8 million to combat what is a serious traffic hazard [...]

Journalism as we know it, as we had known it since the early 1980s, died last night, along with Peter Jennings. Jennings had been fighting lung cancer for several months, and had told his viewers about it in an April 5th episode of his show.
But you’ll hear about Jennings over the next few days. It’s [...]

Nothing, it appears, is sacrosanct, at least not anymore. Maybe I’m the only one who cares, but shouldn’t things in the Bible stay, you know, in the Bible?
