I'm pretty sure that The Hunt for Red October and the Red Alert series of PC strategy games are, perhaps somewhat comically, the two works most responsible for turning me into life-long Russophile.

I'm very much in agreement with the criticisms of Neckbeard and others regarding wikileaks, but one of the other problems I have with the organization, whether it's fair or not, is simply that they have very rarely made good on their central mission.

All of the products that promise ridding you of 'toxins' basically strike me as  a repackaging of the ye-olde concept of various 'biles' being present in the human body, revamped for a modern audience that's susceptible to new-age mumbo-jumbo.

My grandfather drove a Sherman tank into a drugstore. In America.

I saw someone on Facebook make a post claiming that the U.S Federal Reserve was pulling the strings behind North Korea. Yes, North Korea.

In last night's Colbert segment on this subject I noticed that one of the main kids mentioned in the cited article was from Greenwich, CT. Because of course he would be.

I bought a new jacket for the warmer days ahead, or in today's case the dank and rainy ones. I also dove in and got amuch shorter haircut than is my norm, I like it though and I'll probably stick it with it from here on out.

There is actually a delightfully preposterous theory, created essentially by a single family with what I imagine is a knack for tourist dollars, that Jesus actually did not die on the cross but rather fled across Asia before settling and eventually dying in Japan. There's even an alleged grave-site, it's all…

Consequently, Ken Watanabe will also play every other Japanese character. The wig budget will be enormous!

I have nothing to add to this discussion except that the frog in Mushroom Samba is awesome.

This is one of those shows I never watch on my own, but always find myself viewing with groups of others when we're just watching TV.

The most terrifying segment of Cops I've seen is one in which this guy makes an emergency call to the police claiming his housemate tried to kill him with a knife, and that in the ensuing fight he had to shoot his attacker in self-defense.

Yeah I was introduced to her work through reading excerpts at school as well. Everyday is great, superbly researched and argued but highly readable as well. I'd certainly recommend it if you've interest in the subject matter.

This weekend started out as quite the mess, as on Friday the house inexplicably lost power for a few hours in the morning, and when it returned our router and internet was utterly FUBAR until Saturday when my brother managed to fix it and we replaced the old router. Also on Friday, got rear-ended by an SUV on the way…

'Hey Warg, remember when I promised to kill you last?'
That's right, Jon Snow! You did!
I lied.
NOOOOOOO

Congress! What a bunch of clowns am I right?

Zach Braff is clearly a Randian Superman being held back by the jealous, average slime of humanity such as the infamous Snarkster, O'Neal.

I was voted most likely to become a Hero of Socialist Labour of the R.S.F.S.R Central Planning Committee.
