So apparently it's okay to torture people, so long as God told you to do it. I mean seriously? Seriously? Shouldn't the law have a "chilling effect" on actions that harm others? Why can't the rapture come and take these people somewhere else...
John Adams Tuesday, July 01, 2008 - 7:32:17 am PST Posted by :: Aaron
On Sunday evening I finished the seven part HBO miniseries John Adams. It covers his life from his successful legal defense of the British soldiers who carried out the Boston Massacre through his revolutionary days, times in Europe with Franklin, his presidency and on to his death on the day of the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It was a great series and worth watching in this season of the celebration of our Independence from England.
It also has one of the most kickass openings for a TV show of all time:
Michelle Obama Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 4:41:08 pm PST Posted by :: Aaron
A good opinion piece on the perception of Michelle Obama in the public eye. For my part I find her to be much as I find Barack, an honest, intelligent voice in an otherwise disturbing political theater.
Is That A Huge TV In Your Pants? Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 8:34:13 am PDT Posted by :: Aaron
Yes...it is actually. I have replaced my man junk with a Series 7 1080p Samsung Monstrocity! I've also acquired a Blue Ray player, and now my standard def cable looks like complete ass. Looks like it's time for HD Tivo! ;)
The most amazing thing though, is watching Planet Earth on Blueray. The clarity of an already beautiful production is just amazing. This last week or so has been a rough one at work, and taking a break watching that show in High Def is better than Valium.
George W. Bush Memorial Sewage Plant? Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 8:27:08 am PDT Posted by :: Aaron
As funny as the idea of naming the local sewage plant after Bush sounds, it's probably a stupid idea. It's one of those things that you laugh at over beers, not vote into reality. Anyway, doesn't the sewage plant actually make shit clean? Shouldn't it then be the Obama Sewage Treatment facility?
