There are 5 major currencies Dollar, yen , Yuan, Euro and the Great British pound. I turned up at my bank Wells Fargo and their system didn’t have, so they claimed pounds sterling, British pound, UKP or any other names that would let them accept the money until Monday where they call another office to validate the currency. Every time, three to date, I’ve tried to convert UK money within their branches it’s frustrating to the point of the , Hey why not just call me a fraud and get it out in the open. Do I want to spend a day changing all my accounts and standing orders just to be free of these nincompoops that but me bi-annually?

Wells Fargo again prove they train people to apologise for the inconvenience of dealing with them.

Seemingly you are your brothers keeper. More tin pot dictators engage in extortion and keep high school diplomas
Filed under Culture-internet, Edukashun, state gone wild
In the why our kid won’t go state schools department is yet another case of idiots ruining it for everyone. You can decide which side the idiots are on. Seemingly the person walking across a stage is responsible for the conduct of the audience and can be penalized for it. Er why not penalize those disrupting it?. I’m not sure if not getting the paper is worth a fuss or if they are literally holding years worth of achievement to ransom. In the former big whoop print your own at home. If the latter then it’s probably more disruptive than any over excited family cheering for their kids.
The state education board doesn’t support the tin pot dictators of district 205 either, people surprised ” a total mystery” said one that family would do that to their kids. Not one of the educated people seems to think it possible that a great way to sink a rival would be a few hoots at their graduation.. nice blaming the victim is the hallmark of any good socialist accountability scheme:D The next step is accepting guilt and doing their bidding and thanking them for being so generous.
Cheering ban costs five students their H.S. diplomas – CNN.com
School officials said they will hear students and parents out if they appeal. Meanwhile, the school said the five students can still get their diplomas by completing eight hours of public service work, answering phones, sorting books or doing other chores for the district, situated about 150 miles southwest of Chicago.
Paris and the bible the perfect match of spokesperson and product?
Filed under Demon Haunted World, Media mayhem, pat
Seemingly the holier than though crowd are starved for role models that ANY hope of creating another zombie to join their network of dead flesh eaters ( note they didn’t go for the brains) I’m shocked it’s not a yellow guide to the bible but then again as anything other than fiction it’s redundant to use the term idiot.
Wiretapped: Paris’s Not Sure Why So Many Tell Her the Bible is a “Good Book” – This Just In
Since being sentenced to prison, Paris has gained religion. No, she isn’t converting to Islam. She’s showing off her newly purchased self-help books, including the Bible
Naturally I had to comment.
Firstly what’s with the caps it seems that the more “devout” the more you shout. If your god a little hard of hearing, gaging by effectiveness of brayers (not a typo) , please don’t assume we don’t have the same affliction.
That any excuse to push your beliefs has sank so low to even find it worth passing judgment on the “poor little” rich girl suggests that either you don’t read the book that your criticizing her for bandying about as some kind of magical talisman.
Or
You are right to wonder why any adult would buy that line of BS that’s not been indoctrinated since childhood as it stretches credulity that even someone with the intellectual weight of, well herself, would have problems with a fairy tale.
Either way you’ve managed to drag the fine pastime of discussing the lives of people you don’t know into disrepute by invoking such a tawdry,ego driven and shallow being such as the fiction god into a story about Paris.

Maybe I need to widen my love list from things that are sharp, light up or go bang to add anything that lessens the blow on the fiction of time?

Are the “Stepford” talkshow hosts so scared of Ron Paul that they will pull the Nazi card?
Filed under media, Media mayhem, political, rants
Just returned for a quick trip to lunch were the regrets of forgetting my MP3 player were brought into sharp relief by listening to some talk radio. A caller was asked if his support of Ron Paul meant that he enjoyed April the 20th which younger readers is not a pro marijuana celebration but the birth date of Hitler.
The Rationale being that Paul has written articles that appear in publications that have far more extreme views than I believe him to hold ergo he is a white supremacist and crypto facist. ( which is a hell of a stretch given that Guiliani is running at least on the latter point. ) Given that Paul voted against detainment without end, snooping without boundaries, war without end then these talking asses playing the Hitler card so soon means that the trained attack poodles are worried or are as stupid as their mustaches make them look.

All Animals are equal , some are gayer than others. A rather inconsistent Aussie philosophy.
Filed under Culture-internet, political, state gone wild
From Winston Smith news agency.
A gay pub in the city of Melbourne has won the right
to ban heterosexuals – the first time such legislation has been passed
in Australia.
First of all I don’t believe the pub itself is gay, ok it has strong men barreling through the tradesman’s entrance, but here’s the worst kind of law you can possibly enact. After years, decades , training the public to be tolerant and ensuring that private prejudices aren’t allowed to be displayed in the public square here comes the state to enforce the natural right for a small group that they’ve removed from the general population.
Australia’s equal opportunity laws prevent discrimination based on race, religion or sexuality but not intelligence so I can call the State of Victoria ( named after an old Queen ..coincidence? ) ‘king tards that should be hounded off the continent and made to return to England.
Drop the N letter . ever not funny? Never not funny has a line up change.
Filed under humor, media, podcasting
Been a long run. My favorite entertainment podcast “Never not funny” has had a change in lineup which has , and I know it’s unfair maybe to judge the first show after the affair as being representative of where it’s going , eviscerated the joy the show held for me. Oddly enough the dynamic I enjoyed the most that from the dearly departed Mike Schmidt and Jimmy Pardo whose ironic bumper sticker now seems sadly prescient. I needed the real world “crunchiness” of Mike juxtaposed against the Hollywood “phony” with a straight man thrown in to really show how good those two were.. Sigh…
I think a lesson from Episode 59 should be in the immortal ( not yet anyway) words of Stephen Lynch “I’d never say cunt to an audience”
Still I recommend you buy the CD compiled from the first 20 shows /it rocks.

Woman: Blame devil for infant in microwave – CNN.com
A woman blames the devil, and not her husband, for severely burning their infant daughter in a microwave, a Texas television station reported.
Eva Marie Mauldin said Satan compelled her 19-year-old husband, Joshua Royce Mauldin, to microwave their daughter May 10 because the devil disapproved of Joshua’s efforts to become a preacher.
And the mother wants the kid back. I just hope the devil’s next set of instructions to the “innocent” preacher wannabe are welding her birth canal closed.
Weak end and recording fun ( yeah finally I’m producing podcasts)

Ok let me first dispense with the maladies. After a shot at the Dr’s and a pill ( singulair) and a nose spray to free up my nose I woke up SORE the day after to which I attributed to Erin 
Sadly that wasn’t the case and over the next few days nearly every muscle when resistance is applied to it hurts. Couldn’t open dishwasher, get in a couple of doors in the house lift coffee pot without both hands etc.. Less than happy.. Thankfully I am getting my grip back.
Losing my grip. Nearly did that last night. I was helping out a friend that has a book coming out record a podcast / vidcast. So I thought . The c0-author brought along a camera person that has no camera, no back up and eschewed my rather much better 3ccdDV to shoot on D8, I shit you not. ( i’ve nothing against d8 other than I don’t have a fucking deck to import it with) Using onboard sound. That was enough fun but NO he had a vision! Handheld camera for the hour, compressors HATE hand held , did I mention my cam as OIS?, and then ran out of the only tape.
Sometimes you know the most interesting thing is the subject matter and not those creating it For my part I mic’ed up the two people with lavalier mics and used the Zoom h4 to record and what a nice job it did too. The Zoom is a pain in the ass in the field , I had everything set up , then boom battery warning came on, replaced those but all the settings had defaulted.Anyway a separate article on that follows. Hands are once again tired.
This is priceless. We really have to take the phrase liberal back from these bleeding hearts
With regards to the amnesty comprehensive immigration plan I continued to be amused. This plan penalizes new legal immigrants, provides a benefit for those “proving” their presence in the country prior to Jan 2007.

Jerry Falwell, faith-based fraud. – By Christopher Hitchens – Slate Magazine
“The discovery of the carcass of Jerry Falwell on the floor of an obscure office in Virginia has almost zero significance, except perhaps for two categories of the species labeled “credulous idiot.”
Fal’s well that ends well..
Seemingly the people that were all over Imus for his inane and ignorant remarks can not wait to fall over the fallen over Jerry Falwell. Seemingly being an outrageously intolerant bigot is ok if it’s heartfelt and lip service is paid to the “offended”
That being said I had a weird day. Work, oh my I never talk about work, was the best of times, and the worst of times in the reverse order. The upside is that something that I’ve wanted to do for well over a year will come to pass though it was an odd route to get there. So two major things this year have gone my way though it’s really Emperor’s clothes when all is said and done. I never learned to shut up:D Now stage three. To make all error messages relate to the Monty Python films.I’m totally serious I want my programs to allow me to select a personality and then be as obsequious or insouciant as I can handle..

One has to wonder at the sickness afflicting these people to inflict terror on children that would result in arrest and, likely jail time, should one of their pupils have produced a fictional account. Shame the parents couldn’t call up the people involved, tell them a loved one was murdered and… l
How funny would that be? On the bright side I hope some parents reevaluate the suitability of the state for their children’s wellbeing.
