The Stupidity of a Gas Tax "Holiday" →
timhackbarth: “Hillary Clinton has decided to line up with John McCain in pushing to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for this summer’s travel season. This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. What a way to build our country.” ...

Greatest Hits (A Muxtape Game)
Youth and Young Manhood: I recently went through an old leather CD case, purging old burned CD’s to make room for audiobooks - which I’ve been listening to more and more on my semi-daily commute. While doing this, I came upon a CD titled “Tim’s Greatest Hits.” Curious, I decided to leave it in the case and listen to it the following morning en route to work. The next morning, I popped in my...
I doubt many people noticed, but when I was watching the NFL draft, I saw Gary Vaynerchuk from the internet. He is a professed hardcore Jets fan and was screaming like an idiot with his fellow supporters.
Just about time I updated the ol’ muxtape…now 33% lamer!!
Ben Stein's Intelligent Design Film Worse Than... →
I always remebered him from “Ferris Bueller” and “Win Ben Stein’s Money”. I didn’t realize he was such a shallow minded bigot, but his “film” is true idiocy and ignorance.

This Just In: New Weezer Single Doesn't Suck Too...
After the atrocity that was Make Believe, I was a little scared to hear the new single. I was, however, pleasantly surprised to find it sucks far less than “Beverly Hills” did. Though it is still fairly a generic sounding song, the lyrics are cute and the chorus is catchy like a newer version of “Buddy Holly”.

For a full recap of my weekend at VEISHA including drunken shenanigans and a music video shoot, please follow the link and check out the two sets of photos on the right side of the page. I have left out names of involved parties intentionally to avoid personal and criminal ramifications…
The Star Destroyer Project →
This guy built his own 48” perfect replica Star Destroyer with working lights from scratch. I can’t fathom the amount of time he spent neglecting his friends and family to finish this thing.
A 'West Wing' Writer Imagines the Showdown at the... →
youthandyoungmanhood: This is a perfect blend of prediction, fact and fiction - similar to my Novel Idea or the concept of You Shall Know Our Velocity. This was a really interesting read and some parts were probably more plausible than most people would like to believe. It was funny but at the same time scared me a little about what could happen if the nomination actually gets to Denver.
I'm So Tough...
Me: I threw my back out coughing really hard this morning.
Alexandra: You need a tougher story than that otherwise you sound like a wuss.
Me: How about I hurt it defending my apartment from bears.
Alexandra: How about cougars instead, you have to make it believable.
Political Rant #2
Dear blogosphere, I can’t help getting upset at Hillary Clinton and her supporters lately. Now they say she should be the Democratic nominee because she can get more electoral college votes based on the primaries. They think that even though Obama has more delegates, states won, and overall votes he won’t be able to carry anything come the general election. I think it is absolutely...
