Koontz is such a hack--couldn't even finish the only book by his I had the misfortune to buy. Couldn't stand his right-wing screed snippets pouring out of writing clearly intended for the illiterate masses.

The lesson here is to take J-promises with a grain a salt. Whether it be Bird Cafe or your contract with your employer, J-negotiators will say anything and everything to get what they want, then renege later. And it's always you who "misunderstood."
You'll know a J-business is BSing when they balk at signing something that will strictly hold them legally accountable. That"s the lesson for Groupon when negotiating these deals. Make Bird Cafe pay big.

Government documents paid for by taxpayers. They are the people's documents and the people have a right to know about the illegal activities of the government.

When they start doing all the commercials, you know their original career is on the decline. Self-improvement probably meant losing weight. She looks a bit chunky in that Pepsi ad.

Oh brother, Google Maps provides way more information on sensitive sites around the world. I was just looking at close-up photos of Chinese nuclear missile sites. Just more persecution of the bravest journalist to date.

Two groups are having quite the good laugh these days: manufacturers of body scanners and other "security" devices, and the terrorists.

Just as they have a carry-on measuring box at the check-in counter to help determine whether your carry-on is to big or not, they should have a sample seat to determine whether or not your rear is in arrears. Can't fit? Must upgrade to a larger seat--a lard lounger.
