He showed a video of “Machine with Concrete.” On the left an electric motor drives a worm gear at 212 revolutions a minute. A sequence of twelve 50-to-1 gear reductions slows the rotation so far that the last gear, on the right, is set in concrete. It would take over two trillion years for that gear to rotate. “Intense activity on one end, quiet stillness on the other,” Ganson said. “It’s a duality I feel in my own being.”

Are you kidding me? No offense Arthur, but you suck and your art is stupid.

Biker’s piss me off. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been in traffic, only to have some dick head on a motorcycle drive in between the lanes and go around everyone. Or drive in the breakdown lane or even on the sidewalk. I swear to god next time it happens I’m opening my door so the fucker gets it in the face. I was so happy to see this on the local online newspaper this morning. Loud bikers started getting their comeuppance in Portsmouth:

Sargent noted the nuisance factor in Market Square Friday at 5 p.m., when he was joined by other city police officers, state troopers and sheriff’s department deputies, who set up a checkpoint in front of the North Church to stop and test exhaust systems on all passing motorcycles. Riders were waved to the side of the road by local officers and if their bikes sounded marginally loud, they were directed to the front of the church to meet troopers with high tech, decibel-measuring gear.

Anyone over 106 decibels was given a warning, said Sargent.

Hah! It’s about time they start enforcing the excessive noise ordinances. That shit is annoying. No one thinks you’re cool.

Meanwhile, many motorcyclists contend that “loud pipes save lives” by making other drivers aware of where they are, particularly if they are in so-called blind spots.

Loud pipes save lives? I can’t believe anyone can say that with a straight face. Fuck you. Just fuck you.

Another suggested a ride to a popular Hampton Beach biker bar.

“Anyone wanna go to Wally’s?” he asked. “We’re welcome there.”

Don’t let the door hit you on your very tiny penis on the way out.

Unfortunately, it looks like the rumors are true. I’m so pissed I can’t even see straight. Why oh why must Fox continue to fuck up anything good on TV these days? So many good shows cancelled, yet this is allowed to live?

Damn you Fox, damn you to hell!

FOOOOXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!

He certainly looks like a smart fellow. I think he got off easy. Serial killer in the making perhaps?

Columbus firefighter David P. Santuomo, 43, took Sloopy and Skeeter to his home’s basement, suspended them from a pipe near the ceiling and fired at least 11 shots from a .22-caliber rifle fitted with a homemade silencer, Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Ron J. O’Brien said.

Santuomo then wrapped the carcasses in plastic and dumped them in a trash bin behind Firehouse 27, where he worked, O’Brien said.

Nice guy. Maybe I could hire him to house sit my cats?

And another update here:

(CNN) — Three Disney monorail workers have been placed on paid leave just days after two monorail trains crashed at the Orlando, Florida, theme park, killing one of the train’s operators, according to a Disney spokeswoman.

Walt Disney World spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said the action was “part of an investigative process, not a disciplinary action.”

The three workers were a monorail maintenance shop member, the monorail pilot of one of the trains and a transportation manager.

Update -  sounds like someone’s going to be in trouble:

The on-site investigation is expected to conclude this week, but it will take up to a year for a final report to be published. The report could offer recommendations to Disney on how to make the monorails safer.

A friggin year? Are you kidding?

Something here doesn’t sound quite right to me. Does the monorail run at 2am? I’m having trouble finding a schedule of the running times for them. Anyone confirm this?

This article on CNN  about Troy Davis got me thinking about the death penalty again. Having never heard of this case I did a little digging around on google and found some information about his trial and appeals. Personally, I think the death penalty is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. State sanctioned murder? No thanks. Sounds more like vengeance than justice to me. Closure for the victims? That makes no logical sense. I’d rather have someone rot in jail the rest of their life.

I won’t go over all the details since you can read about the case in so many places, but a few things struck me as odd. And by odd I mean fucked up. The short version:

1) The murder weapon was never found, although the .38 caliber that most likely killed the officer was owned by a friend of Davis who was there, was a suspect himself and testified against him.

Coles initially lied about carrying the .38 caliber revolver, but later admitted to carrying it with him on the night of the murder. He claimed that it was lost when the police attempted to recover the gun for testing.

Uh huh. Lost it, sure.

2) Seven of the nine “witnesses” recanted their sworn affidavits after the trial (one that didn’t change his story was Coles, the other suspect in the case).

Many of them state they never read the typed up affidavits before they signed them and didn’t want to get into any trouble with the cops themselves. Sounds like a bunch of reliable people to me! Bet your life on it?

3) The district attorney isn’t losing any sleep over it.

Second, they claim that seven of nine witnesses have recanted their trial testimony. This is not believable.

To be sure, they’ve produced affidavits; a few handwritten and apparently voluntarily and spontaneous, except for concluding with “further the affiant sayeth not.” Who wrote that stuff? The lawyers, perhaps?

The law is understandably skeptical of post-trial “newly-discovered evidence.”

Such evidence as these affidavits might, for example, be paid for, or coerced, or the product of fading memory.

So statements before the trial can’t possibly be coerced, but after the trial they probably were? Read the rest of his opinion piece. The man sounds like an idiot.

This is all it takes to put someone to death? Sounds pretty flimsy to me.

Oh now I get it. He’s black and this happened in Georgia. My bad.

So apparently Dave Letterman made an “inappropriate” joke the other night:

Here’s my thought process on all the crying and whining:

1) It was funny, I laughed out loud.

2) Anyone with a brain knew he was talking about Bristol, the 18 year old that already got knocked up once.

3) Feigned outrage from the right wingers, especially the ones that try to pull the femi-nazi crap don’t disappoint me as usual (family values? Don’t get me started).

4) Despite what you hear with all the sound bites and one liners, never once does he say anything about anyone being raped.

5) Not to be outdone, Palin’s spokesperson gives a jab of her own:

“The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show,” Palin family spokeswoman Meg Stapleton says. “Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.“ 

So in conclusion, cry me a fucking river and grow up. You don’t like Letterman, stop watching him. Case closed.

Gene Simmons pisses me off. I can’t even sell an old G4 Powermac for $30 on ebay, but he can get $15k for a flippin kidney stone? Which by the way he’s probably not allowed to sell in the first place. And to top it all off, he plays bass for KISS. Why do people like this band? They’re fucking horrible. Name one song by them that isn’t “Rock and roll all night?”

…… I’ll wait.

Yea, can’t do it can you?

Knights in Satans Service? Whatever assholes

So in conclusion:

1) Gene Simmons is gross (ie: selling a kidney stone, how fucking conceited do you have to be to think people will want to buy that?)

2) Gene Simmons is probably a liar (doubtful he even really sold it on ebay since you can’t sell body parts or pieces)

3) KISS sucks

But since it’s really all for the kids, let’s help him decide where to put the ill gotten gains. Behold, MA’s first ever poll:

If for some ungodly reason you see this post and are a KISS fan, please prove to me how they don’t suck in the comments. I’ll be holding my breath.

Suck on this California!!

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire became the sixth state to legalize gay marriage after the Senate and House passed key language on religious rights and Gov. John Lynch — who personally opposes gay marriage — signed the legislation Wednesday afternoon.

Glad to see New Hampshire finally make into the 21st Century. Gov. Lynch makes an excellent point in his statement after siging the bill into law:

Most families in New Hampshire will awaken tomorrow, go to work and to school, and feel no impact from what we have accomplished today. 

But for some, they will awaken tomorrow knowing we have said to them that they are equal, that they have the same rights to live and to love as everyone else. 

Today is a day to celebrate in New Hampshire. Today should not be considered a victory for some and a loss for others. 

Today is a victory for all the people of New Hampshire, who I believe, in our own independent way, want tolerance for all. 

That is truly the New Hampshire way.

Catch that first part? “….. and feel no impact from what we have accomplished today.” This rings true. Consider that Massachusetts has has gay marriage for a while now and I don’t see Armageddon happening there (of course, you could argue that even if that happened you really wouldn’t be able to tell the difference )

So to recap, the two main things I love about gay marriage are:

1) Feels good to see humanity (and America)heading forward into a more tolerant society with the passage of this bill.

2) I absolutely love how this pisses off the Jesus Freaks. Fuck them. Yea churchy, I’m talking to you.

PS – feel free to explain how I’ll be spending the afterlife in hell. I love a good story.

I swear this isn’t a story from the Onion:

 

YORK, Maine — Residents of Ocean Avenue Extension ante up their complaints over the town’s decision to make the street one-way, as the York Village Post Office now refuses to deliver their mail.

The post office will no longer deliver mail to Ocean Avenue Extension, said York Village Postmaster William Monagle, because to do so would require the driver to make a left-hand turn. Monagle said the U.S. Postal Service has a policy not to create new left-hand turns on its routes.

 

Mortal Enemy of Mail Men Everywhere

What a fucking riot! I guess working for the post service really does have its benefits. Lucky bastards.
