Joe Bruno (no relation), the man who made Eliot Spitzer’s life miserable, is retiring.

Spitzer Schadenfreude


Posted by Matski on March 10th, 2008

Well, much as I hate to revel in another’s misfortune [really, 'tis true], I feel it’s important to point out the hypocritical douchbaggery of Left as well as Right. So in the spirit of reveling in the downfall of Ted Haggard, let’s pause ten seconds to contemplate Eliot “I’m Rich but I Hate Myself [...]

The military finally decides that if you can’t beat them, join them:
[Lieutenant Colonel C.J.] Wallington, a division chief in the Army’s office of enterprise information systems, says the military is quietly working to integrate Macintosh computers into its systems to make them harder to hack. That’s because fewer attacks have been designed to infiltrate Mac [...]

Not as good as 2 Girls 1 Cup “reactions” but close. Darn close.

GOP Downfall Watch


Posted by Bruno on November 25th, 2007

Well, if you can’t raise enough money, you might as well recruit wealthy candidates who can self-finance:
“National Republicans are in disarray, forcing them to recruit inexperienced and unprepared self-funders,” said Doug Thornell, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Self-financed, deep-pocketed Congressional candidates are nothing new for either party, and the Democrats have their own [...]

Serves Them Right

If you ever wondered how and why that hot dude or babe serving you at a restaurant was so, so inept, here’s part of the reason:
In a lawsuit and a consent decree filed yesterday, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission backed accusations by workers that Daniel Boulud denied them promotions at his restaurant Daniel because of [...]

Several sources are reporting that the GOP frontrunners are bailing on the YouTube debate format.
Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews tracked down the GOP candidates in order to ask for their rationale.

In case you missed it, Rudy was saying “9/11! 9/11!” Sort of fits with the theme, doesn’t it?

Fun With Typos


Posted by Bruno on May 22nd, 2007

Here’s an idea I wish I’d thought of: asking the government of Cameroon for exclusive rights to the .cm domain name, so that everyone who types “google.cm” or whatever by accident gets directed to you crappy page full of advertisements.
Maybe it’s because I’m left-handed, but I never type “.cm”. I’m more likely [...]

Leakers


Posted by Bruno on May 10th, 2007

I think we all know where this one is headed.
A “senior administration official” leaks to the press that Rove was knee-deep in the U.S. Attorney firings scandal. How long before the right-wing talking point on this becomes, “the ability to fire Attorneys was created by the Patriot Act. So clearly, the leaker needs [...]

Gore vs. the Bureaucrats


Posted by Bruno on March 21st, 2007

I’m sure that Drudge, Limbaugh, and the other right-wingers who attacked Al Gore’s “hypocritical” power consumption at his Tennessee home will rally to his side now that it’s been revealed that onerous local regulations prevented him from installing solar panels on his roof.
It’s clear that the city of Nashville hates freedom, and wants to tell [...]
