Zaius Nation - Some Apes Are More Equal Than Others

First 100 Days

Yay! We're almost like a real country again!

"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to fads and popular opinion."

Blue Gal talked me into it.

We are in Danger of Imminent Attack From Killer Robots From the Future

I just saw this extremely frightening event in one of my recent terrorist FTP transactions on the intertubes:

[...]
Response: 150-Accepted data connection
Response: 150-The computer is your friend. Trust the computer
Response: 150 11.9 kbytes to download
Response: 226-File successfully transferred
[...]

(emphasis added)

So I quickly Googly-Mooglied the event [ 1, 2, 3 ], and found this:

[09:43:19] 150-Accepted data connection
[09:43:19] 150 144.0 kbytes to download
[09:43:20] 125 Open the pod bay doors
[09:43:20] 225 Pod bay doors cannot be opened
[09:43:20] 327 I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave
[09:43:20] 226-File transfer aborted
[09:43:20] Connection closed

Jeepers!

The Truth About the Fox News Tea Parties

On April 15th, FOX News' "fair and balanced" network utilized it's considerable promotional resources to promote the Fox News 'Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party' rallys.

In a gesture of unprecedented participation by a news organization in a political protest, Fox news personalities broadcast live as keynote speakers and hosts at various tea party events alongside several Republican politicians.

Of course FOX News and their 'non-sponsorship' sponsorship had little to do with the formation of the Tea Party events [ 1 ]. They merely ran promotion and public relations.

The principle organizers the local Tea Party© events were actually the lobbyist-run think tanks Americans for Prosperity [ 2 ], former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey's FreedomWorks [ 2 ], and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's American Solutions [ 2, 3, 4, 5 ].

in an interview with FOX News' Greta Van Susteren, Newt Gingritch went so far as to say, "I think the tax day tea party movement, which is actually Americansolutions.com, is helping with a great deal." (Emphasis added.) [ 1, 2 ].

The lobbyists shall return on July 4th.

Awesome!

I just saw it on Keith Olbermann...

A Most Unusual Cat Fight

No time for blogging today! I am busy performing lobotomies on some of the poor, downtrodden housewives of the bailout banking executives. (I ask you, haven't the extremely wealthy people of this country suffered enough already? Have a tissue, my dear...) In the meantime, you can watch this swell video of a most unusual cat fight. (This kind of straw cat fallacy is called 'argumentum ad kitty kat', I believe.)

Claritea Instead of Insanitea

The Obama teaparty has no "teabagging", and instead focuses on reading the tea leaves...

Not All of My Patients are Annoying. Many of Them are Dead.

Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.
Patient: Well, might as well give me the bad news first.
Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.
Patient: 24 HOURS! That's terrible! WHAT could be WORSE? What's the very bad news?
Doctor: I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.

Doctor: "I've got very bad news. You've got cancer and Alzheimer's."
Patient: "Well, at least I don't have cancer!"

Did you hear about the man who fell into an upholstery machine?
He's fully recovered.

No time for blogging today - It's my birthday! I was born in 3795 A.D., which means that I am negative 1786 years old today! (Try and explain that to the DMV.) Germaine Gregarious and I are off to do some nature photography with the girls of the LGPPP. (Oops! The relative aperture of my depth of field seems to be a bit over-exposed...)

Happy Easter from Peep Cthulhu

What Easter is Really About...

I have my own own unique opinion of god. I think that mankind made a fundamental error when he created a differentiation between the words "god" and "universe". all of man's confusion on the subject of religion could be cleared up if we removed the bias that the usage of two different words for the same subject has caused. If there was only one word for god and the universe, then nobody would argue about it.

Think about it. Scientists, philosophers and theologians would all be studying the same thing! All dogma would be erased because our concept of god would not be separate from the universe. It would all be one concept. If there were not two different words to differentiate between the two ideas, you wouldn't be able to argue about it. There wouldn't be any words to use.

And instead of telling our chidren horror stories about the Holy Church of the Gooey Death and the Zombie Resurrection, we would instead concentrate on the philosophy that Jesus and other religious leaders have preached about how it is probably not really a good idea to spend your life being an asshole.
