Tax Rebate Checks 2008: Is Your Check In The Mail?

That's funny, I am actually going to buy a set of tires with my rebate money. I have been putting them off for years, but with a baby coming it's a safety necessity. posted 05/03/2008 at 02:01:03

Got Dirt? Beyond Nature-Deficit Disorder

I will always treasure growing up in a redwood forest, and will try to pass a long my love of nature to my unborn daughter, even though she won't have the same opportunity to always be in the woods. posted 04/29/2008 at 23:59:06

WATCH: John McCain's Fabulous Life

Food Costs Rising Fastest in 17 Years

Corn was pushed by the big agribusiness lobby. Actually, we'd be much better off, yield-wise and energy-balance-wise, growing hemp or ultimately algae for our biofuel:

Crop - US gal/acre
maize (corn) - 18
hemp - 39
algae - 10000 posted 04/14/2008 at 21:46:10

Mean Girls And The Parents Who Love Them

Girl fights have been around forever. I remember a brutal one during a junior high dance in the early 90's where one girl was bashing another one's head into the bathroom shower stall. Now it's just on YouTube, so people are being exposed to it. I don't think people are more or less violent; they're just bigger exhibitionists now. posted 04/10/2008 at 10:22:34

Wall Street Shows Optimism That Crisis Is Fading

Umm...20% of the production workers at 3 factories in the US operations of my high-tech manufacturing employer were laid off last Friday. From my front-lines experiences, we've just barely hit our pace on this downturn. posted 04/02/2008 at 02:21:29

Pregnant At A New Job

American society sucks so much. If this lady or myself were in France, we would be looking at 16 weeks off paid maternity leave, 2 weeks paid paternity leave, and another 2 years to be shared with both parents of unpaid leave. Check out this chart and compare the oh so wonderful family-friendly US in comparison with every other major country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave posted 04/01/2008 at 10:12:44

59% Of Doctors Now Back Universal Health Care

Yeah I'm pretty tired of being held hostage at a job and not being able to innovate as an entrepreneur because of "pre-existing conditions" and exorbitant premiums. Also tired of armies of beings hired with my premium money to deny me any and all tests and procedures my doctor might order. Without universal health care, this country sucks giant donkey balls. posted 04/01/2008 at 10:16:10

Why Your IT Guy Hates Your iPhone

Sounds like Apple will be providing updates this summer to address some of the security problems. Honestly, I think more IT people are afraid of Apple technology because they don't understand it, not because it's inherently less secure. posted 03/31/2008 at 20:50:51

Neediest Hit Hardest By State Budget Cuts

How about an immediate independent audit of the state budget to slash all the worthless $100,000 salaried hogs and give that money to the neediest. What the hell is the point of a state if it lets people in its care die? posted 03/31/2008 at 13:28:12

Courtney Love Claims Cobain Estate Looted Of $200 Million

I notice when there's two extra $9.99 third party billed charges on my AT&T bill caused by crammers. I'm pretty sure I'd notice if anything over $1 million was taken from me, I'd notice, no matter how fscked up I was. posted 03/30/2008 at 14:39:33

Bankers' Spouses Deprived Of Luxury Items During Downturn

I'm a pregnant young woman and I have almost no food left in the house, certainly nothing fresh. I make too much to receive food stamps or WIC or anything like that. I could support my husband and myself on $50,000 for over a year. I'm so hungry right now I'm feeling a little faint. Can someone spare a couple of bucks? posted 03/27/2008 at 11:33:09

The $35 Movie Ticket Is Coming

One of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. People are already complaining about the high ticket prices at around $10 a pop, and on top of that, lame ads you have to be subjected to. I already save money by *not* buying the overpriced artery-clogging garbage. Instead, I sneak in sandwiches and water in my big ol' purse. posted 03/26/2008 at 00:39:53

Hulk Hogan Sued Over Son's Car Crash

They should be sued, but at the same time the judgement should take into account the fact that the injured party wasn't wearing a seat belt. While I am very sympathetic to the fact that he will probably spend the rest of his life in a nursing home as a near-vegetable, it is pretty stupid to get in a car with such a reckless driver in the first place, and then to ride around without a seat belt is on the level of Darwin's Law. posted 03/25/2008 at 15:07:35
