Hooters wouldn’t hire him as waiter
via Overlawyered.com.
To which I ask, “Yeah, So? Him = not-hooters-waitress”
The answer today in Corpus Christi is a cry of “Unfair!” and a lawsuit.
Position Statement:
- People are naturally different.
- Jobs are naturally different.
- Some people, for reasons which are beyond their control, are completely unfit for some jobs. Being completely unfit for something does not entitle you to its benefits.
Position addendum:
That fitness for the position at Hooters is dependent on the position of hooters is to me proof positive that they are purveyors of something beyond wings. This is reason enough for me to buy my lunch elsewhere, but it is not reason enough to abandon Hooters right to hire who they will.
The official position of this blog is that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease) is bad.
Combine that with “you can have my free market economy when you’ve pried it from my cold dead fingers“ and I’m none too pleased with this:

The Bush administration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease.
The Agriculture Department tests fewer than 1 percent of slaughtered cows for the disease, which can be fatal to humans who eat tainted beef. A beef producer in the western state of Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows.
via Coyote Blog who calls this the worst of both worlds where the goverment fails to test more than one percent of beef AND interferes with privately funded market-driven testing.
When cut to eat, oranges should be cut along longitudinal lines such that no cut transsects more than one segment membrane.

You asked for it. The 5 best Christmas movies:
Patrick Stewart’s version of A Christmas Carol (1999) Stewart is an alumni of both Star Trek N.G. and the Royal Shakespeare Company. He’s King Richard, he’s Captain Picard, and he is Scrooge.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) (TV) with Boris Karloff who could be Grinchier than Karloff?
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) with James Stewart and Donna Reed. Two words: Zouzou’s petals.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) with Maureen O’Hara and a young Natalie Wood. Those two coulda been in anything.
The Polar Express (2004) with Tom Hanks.
Honorable mentions:
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) for Vince Guaraldi’s score.
The Santa Clause (1994) for Tim Allen.
The Year without a Santa Claus (1974) for the Heat Miser.
And, as is my perogative and policy, the meme stops here. You want to do your own list and link back here, have at it, like I could stop ya.
Checkers is best played jump-optional.
I don’t know when all this can-jump-must-jump B.S. started but I’m havin’ none of it.
Call me a radical, a politico, an incendiary or a fundamentalist if you must, but it’s time to take a stand. Lather, rinse: suffice.

The priesthood is full of sinners and the sick, just like the rest of the population.
Priestly celibacy does not cause pedophilia. We’re talking about a sinful abuse of power, a wrenching perversion of sex, and a frightening loss of self control by a man who has willingly taken on the responsibility and power of the collar. If celibacy were the cause, we’d be more willing to let them off: “Poor guy hadn’t had sex in all his 35 years. Must’ve gotten quite a case of the blue balls.” No, that hasn’t been used as a defense has it? We’re not letting anyone off, either.
Priestly marriage would not cure it. Except where the priest-hubby might be just too busy with his honey-do list, I can’t see that marital, adult, consensual, sex has anything at all, beyond the zipper, in common with boffing altar boys.

It is impossible to make s’mores in the microwave. It is possible, but not desireable, to make s’mores indoors provided an open flame is used to heat the marshmallows.

Toilet paper should be loaded such that when the free end of paper is at the top, the twelve o’ clock position, the leading edge of paper points toward the user. When loaded properly, the free edge is always visible to the user.
