David McCarty challenges Kentucky Wal-Mart construction

On the one hand, I like that this guy has decided to fight for his rights…well, sort of fight, I guess, if you consider sitting in a lawn chair in your backyard fighting. (I totally do since it appeals to my lazy side like nobody’s business. Besides that, Gandhi was a big fan of the non-violent protest, and who am I to question Gandhi’s ideas? I’m a good Hindu, you know. :sniff: You hush about the meat-eating. I’m still a good Hindu mostly.)

On the other hand, I can’t help but believe that he’s doing this to force Wal-Mart into buying his property (at an inflated price) just to get rid of him. That makes it a little less admirable, I guess, since it’s less about stickin’ it to da man and more about filling up his own pockets — which my black, tarry, capitalist heart can’t denigrate, but I do realize it’s not exactly a noble motive. Unless he donates all the proceeds to some cause, I guess.

At any rate both hands think this oughtta be fun to watch. Well, that’s what I think they’d think if they had separate brains of their own. Since they’re both attached to *my brain, they’re sort of forced into the whole deal.

Mr. Wizard is dead?

June 14, 2007

What the hell? How has this not been more in my face than the crap about Paris Hilton calling Barbara Walters? MR. WIZARD DIED! That is a BIG DAMN DEAL, people. That’s way more newsworthy (and sad) than anything that’s going with Paris or Britney (although the moon shot was pretty effin’ sad).
Damn. [...]
