7:18 pm	We put the FUN in Funeral Why do people have to drive in funeral processions? I see them all the time, they drive right through red lights. Why? The dead guy can wait. The rendezvous time at the cemetary can be set such that it allows for travel. People say "it's out of RESPECT for the dead", which actually means respect for the living people who care about the dead guy, but even considering that, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ALL DRIVE IN AN UNBROKEN LINE to show your respect? But as usual, you're not allowed to question things concerning god or dead people, because even questioning it is an insult somehow. People die all the time and a person doesn't really care, but once someone HE know dies, he expects the whole world to start sobbing with him. Fuck that. (Comment on this)

9:31 am	Transpire Interesting note from the dictionary.com database: Usage Note: Transpire has been used since the mid-18th century in the sense “leak out, become publicly known,” as in Despite efforts to hush the matter up, it soon transpired that the colonels had met with the rebel leaders. This usage has long been standard. The more common use of transpire to mean “occur” or “happen” has had a more troubled history. Though it dates at least to the beginning of the 19th century, language critics have condemned it for more than 100 years as both pretentious and unetymological. There is some sign that resistance to this sense of transpire is abating, however. In a 1969 survey the usage was acceptable to only 38 percent of the Usage Panel; nearly 20 years later, 58 percent accepted it in the sentence All of these events transpired after last week's announcement. Still, many Panelists who accepted the usage also remarked that it was pretentious or pompous. (Comment on this)

12:50 pm	The Power of Nightmares From a review on the archive: "When is individual liberty a bad thing? The answer is, when it distracts citizens from society's goals as a whole. How, then, to combat such a thing? Create a myth for the people to believe, something to divert their attention from their selfish, animal beings. Religion will suffice. The masses need to be led by someone posessing a higher knowledge. That is the duty of the annointed elite. "Does the above sound like the philosophy of the Islamic Taliban? In actuality, it is that of Leo Strauss, in many ways the philosophical father of American Neo-Conservatism, the doctrine driving the current Bush adminstration." http://www.archive.org/details/ThePowerOfNightmares (Comment on this)

11:15 pm	Something to savour I can't do whisky without a chaser. Some might argue that it's manly to drink shots without a chaser, but I'd argue: how manly is it to savour a nasty taste? And if it's that manly, maybe I should cum in your mouth. (Comment on this)
