Spending long hours traveling back and forth to your local lab? Tired of lining up huge networks of hydroponics to get the grow houses running? Then, drop all that effort-intensive work and try some crack today! All you need to start is a microwave oven. It’s the easy, breezy way to create your very own illegal narcotics.

According to the TCPalm, Javaris Kirk, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was arrested last week after allegedly admitting to making crack-cocaine with his microwave oven. Mr. Kirk later admitted that he was a convicted felon and, as such, felt a special bond with Martha Stewart.

Authorities searching his home also found five ecstasy tablets in his bathroom, a 9mm pistol with no serial, and a homemade tea cozy crafted out of extra table cloth.

Agggh! Emu Oil Propaganda! Bad Mojo!

I just found this reprehensible video that is obviously full of lies. Do not let the Big Oil propaganda machine take you in with its fancy commercials and high production value. Emu oil is extracted directly from the souls of the kindest and most egalitarian emus. Those who have had their oil removed must wander the planes of emu purgatory for all time.

Somali Pirates = Good Guys

Now, obviously I’m not talking about the asshats who kidnapped Captain Phillips in last weekend’s widely publicized story.

But, as it turns out, the Somali Pirate movement was started as the “Volunteer Coastguard of Somalia,” in response to major EU countries dumping nuclear waste and other toxic chemicals on the shores of the recently collapsed nation.

Apparently EU dickheads have been abusing the coastal areas off Somalia for years, illegally overfishing the waters when their own fisheries became depleted and dumping waste that could not be cheaply disposed of otherwise.

Unfortunately, once the opportunity for profit came into the equation, more of the seedy elements emerged that make up most of the “newsworthy” pirate stories of recent note.

But, just like the pirates of old, their inception was just as much a reaction to tyranny and abuses of power as it was to profit motive.

So… Yo Ho Ho, and stick it in your craw, EU. Let’s give these brave boys their due.

Billy Bob Thornton Hates Everything

I still can’t fully believe that this wasn’t staged. This is a fairly long clip of a Canadian radio personality interviewing Billy Bob Thornton’s band. Billy Bob obviously and openly hates this guy. It’s amazing.

AP Tantrum Marks Beginning of the End for Old Media

whine

Earlier this week in front of his weekly board meeting in the San Diego office, AP chairman, Dean Singleton, cried foul.

In complaining about the unlicensed use of AP stories all over the blogosphere, Singleton actually conjured up the old Network tagline: “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore!”

Well, let’s visit the original context of that quote for a moment…
