Too bad they don't have an anti-psychosis keyboard. I figure, once my wrists start talking to me, it's time to retire.

Brian Cooley is an Idiot
2002-03-08 09:02:16
The radio station Brian Cooley is on claims to be a news station. Brian Cooley's web page claims that he has a "long history of delivering engaging newscasts and absurd antics." So which is it? Is Brian supposed to be delivering entertainment or is he delivering news? Is anyone at CNET bright enough to know the difference?
I was driving to work today listening to CNET radio. It's the radio station owned by cnet.com, and they promote themselves as a news station that reports on technology. On the air 24/7, they're talking about technology and tech stocks.
This morning Brian was dumfounded when he found out that the government wasn't pressing charges against RaiseTheFist.com's founder for publishing bomb-making materials on the Internet. Brian couldn't understand why they weren't pressing charges like the government did "against other bomb-making web sites."
Brian, maybe you should do a little research when you're reporting the "news". The government hasn't put anyone in jail JUST for publishing bomb-making information. Simply publishing information of any sort is not considered a crime in this country.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Brian, does this ring a bell? If you'd gone to journalism school or stayed awake in your high school's U.S. Government class, it might.
The first amendment protects CNET's right to pretend to report the news when they're actually in the entertainment business. It protects RaiseTheFist's right to publish unpopular viewpoints and unpopular information.
Best of all, it protects my right to point out the fact that Brian Cooley is an idiot.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
