it's all about the apocalypse

The christian right wing wants to bring on armageddon so that jebus will come back and smite all of the homosexuals and heathens, which should reduce the Republican party's ranks significantly.

The best way to do this is (1) let Israel stir up shit in the holy land and (2) elect Sarah Palin president in 2012 so that the antichrist can be in the White House as scripture requires...

i hope it tanks @ the box office

this looks like the dumbest concept for a movie since Pulp Fiction, but with less imagination...

I wouldn't even download it.

I took back my iPhone 3GS...

...before the 30 days were up. They should call these things crackpods. I found myself browsing and playing with stupid apps for hours on end, getting nothing done.

I wonder how long it will be before there is a 12 step program which states "I realized that the reality distortion field had made me powerless to control my iPhone addiction"?

For those with voicemail woes, use Google Voice instead of Visual Voicemail

(1) get a Google Voice account at http://voice.google.com/

(2) when you receive your phone number, enter *004*1xxxxxxxxxx*11# on your iPhone (where xxxxxxxxxx is your Google Voice number) and “call”.

(3) your voice mail, call waiting, etc will transfer to Google Voice instead of AT&T voicemail.

To reverse the effect, enter ##004#

You'll receive an email everytime you receive a message, and you can play them back on the phone without incurring airtime...

@senorplaid, let's reinstate the Mason-Dixon Line

Where indeed were these crackpots during the Bush adminstration!?!

None of these nutjobs were concerned about all the money Bush spent or the erosion of civil rights under his watch - but now that there's a black man in the white house, they're up in arms.

What do they think - Obama's stealing the silverware?

If a Democrat had tried to go within a country mile of a Bush speech / rally while carrying a firearm, they would have been whisked away faster than you can say "Guantanamo".

You couldn't even wear the wrong t-shirt and stand near a Bush / Cheney event - you'd be hustled off to the "free speech zone" on the outskirts of town.

Thank you, dying news media, for fanning the flames of stupidity and ignorance in our country.

you go, garrison

glad you're ok - you really are one lucky guy.

they need to show the people who actually eat their food in their advertising

so carl's has some soft-porn ads showing fit, thin women languidly eating their burgers.

well, when you actually go to carl's/hardees, you'll find the same people you do at the wal-mart pizza counter.

believe me, you wouldn't want to see those folks wearing what Paris Hilton was wearing...

I run 'em all

I primarily use Firefox with three pieces of software: Privoxy, FlashBlock and NoScript. (google them - they're free!)

Privoxy blocks all advertising, FlashBlock selectively blocks noxious web content and NoScript prevents infected or corrupted websites from inflicting anything on my computers.

I never see those "peeling pages" or weird ad graphics that suddenly overlay websites while browsing.

These three programs do occasionally interfere with online banking or other web commerce. When they do, I switch over to IE (windows) or Safari (mac) to finish what I started.

I am amazed when I see how many ads the average person puts up with - it's like TV with commercials every minute...

freakin' awesome! the shark imagery rules!

I'm sure Carol will get bashed by all the "playa playas", but I think she hit the nail on the head here.

BM is a pretentious waste of human effort and money. Stupid human tricks...

@softdog, I disagree with your critique of Carol's work

I usually enjoy Carol's cartoons, but for some reason, the "real life adventures" resonate much more with me than the fantasy adventures...

Vive la différence.
