Joe Schmitt has something to say

Oddly there is nothing about this on the internet or cable news. It’s as if the mainstream media is suppressing this story, but why?

And where is the non-mainstream media in all this? Those heroes who get the REAL STORY out for REAL AMERICA. I checked Sarah Palin’s Facebook page and she hasn’t yet commented about this. Have they gotten to her too?! No wonder Glenn Beck cries so much. The world is such a scary place.

Professor: So this patient was referred for neuropsychological testing because none of the medications were curing his depression…
Student, interrupting: Maybe he was just lazy.
Professor: Well, actually, we found that he had a massive brain tumor compressing his frontal lobe.
Student: But he sounded lazy to me.

That doesn’t change anything. He could be lazy AND have a brain tumor, and only the brain tumor is operable. I think it’s just sloppy medicine to treat only the brain tumor and ignore the underlying laziness.

This annoys me. Can’t they just assume the answer is “meh”? Why isn’t that one of the choices? The answer is always “meh”.

but he doesn’t have a lot to spend. He asked if he should try eBay or Craigslist. I said yes, but only if you can screen out negative keywords such as

• cum-stained
• bloody
• crime scene
• rat-infested hellhole

What other words should he worry about?

We’re playing this game where you wave your hands around, randomly change batteries, and desperately press buttons hoping it recognizes controller two. So far this new Wii game is pretty lame.

Here’s my weekend so far:

7:30 PM Dinner with my wife and her friend. I paid.

8:30 PM Drop off my wife and her friend at the Pixies. I give her $40 so she has spending money.

11:00 PM Pick up my wife and her friend from the Pixies.

7:30 AM Wake up without an alarm!

I promise you I was cool once, 20 years ago.

Most of my tweeting is from my phone, and retweets don’t show among mentions any more if they are done with the new retweet button. I like to know who’s laughing at my jokes, and not every one of my followers uses Favstar or Favrd, so retweets are the other way to see how well a joke goes over.

Someone needs to teach people they can use the Queue to schedule stuff to post every hour and not blow up the timeline. Or is this just me?

It appears that I’m only following @KuraFire on Tumblr. He is my whole timeline.

If his mom didn’t buy me lunch*, I might stop being his friend**.

*I had lunch with him and his mom when they passed through Chicago and she insisted on paying. This is not a “your mother” joke.

**Which reminds me, several of your mothers have been late on their be-friends-with-my-kid payments. I’ve let it slide for now because of the economy, but eventually it’s going to collections.
