Random Thoughts

Posted by Frank J. on July 26, 2010 at 8:58 am

Breitbart is the new William F. Buckley if every liberal is the new Gore Vidal.

Now that I have an iPad, anytime I use my big laptop I feel like a caveman.

I remember when charges of extremism and racism weren’t completely partisan in motivation. Or maybe I’m thinking of some fiction I read.

In this time of high unemployment and many threats abroad, our biggest problem is imaginary racism.

Shorter Obama: “Can you get that jar from the high shelf? I can’t reach it.”

So apparently Sherrod hasn’t learned a single lesson about baseless charges of racism. You can charge Breitbart with being an irresponsible political hack, but to say he want to bring the country back to the time of slavery you have to be a loony toon.

Sherrod: “I want him to show me how he’s not a racist.” How do you do that?

It would be nice if we had a blood test so you could get a certificate showing you’re not a racist.

Still, moronic conversations about race are leagues better than how things used to be forty years ago.

Wait, I forgot that forty only gets us back to the 70s now. Let’s say fifty.

Remember when Bush showed up to the State of the Union address dressed up like Aquaman because someone told him it was a costume party? I miss him. Good times.

Exception handling! It’s like 50% of programming is for 5% of use cases.

Still haven’t finished watching the first season of Mad Men through Netflix. It’s… well made.

    I’m ashamed of you. I’m going to shun you and your blog. Thankfully, I have a week-long vacation coming up in August to make it easier.

    You never know, someday they might invent such a thing. This is why Obama refuses to release his medical records.

    Maybe if Shirley offers Breitbart $100,000 from her next law suit he’ll finally show that video that proves he’s not a raaaaaaaacist.

  4. Cilla Mitchell, Galveston Texas says:

    Is there a cure for a blood test that comes out positive for being a racist? If there isn’t a cure, why get tested?

  5. Rockhead says:

    Your mama’s a racist!

    Exception handling! It’s like 50% of programming is for 5% of use cases.

    That’s why, in my programs, I usually only catch one generic exception per class/function. If I catch any sort of exception I just quit the program. I figure, if I happen on one of the rare instances when the program doesn’t work, I’ll go fix the code then, rather than try to plan for every possible contingency the first time.

    That’s why I like writing my own code, but I hated working for a real software company.

    Al Unser, Mark Martin, and Mario Andretti are Raceists.

  8. Burmashave says:

    @Storm model 1911: The only people ever to accuse me of being a raceist were officers of the law.

    Still haven’t finished watching the first season of Mad Men through Netflix. It’s… well made.

    I watched the first few episodes. From a period perspective, it is extremely well made. It made me miss that sixties smoke, drink and litter freely attitude (i.e., before the crying Indian commercial); however, I tired of the soap opera aspect. Then again, I’m a caveman with a laptop, so what do I know?

  9. MarkoMancuso says:

    Storm, Richard Petty was good, but as far as I am concerned, Steve Kinser is the real King of the Raceists.

  10. Darrell says:

    Buckley was thoughtful, considered, intelligent, well-educated, and articulate. Andrew Breitbart is just a mindless, partisan pit bull. No comparison.

  11. sammypants says:

    I’m with you on Mad Men. It isn’t that I don’t enjoy it when I watch it, I just have a hard time deciding to put it in the dvd player.

  12. storm1911 says:

    Marko.. Is Steve Kinser a raceisit, too? I’ve been to RoadAtlanta, the place is just full of raceists.

  13. Bratgirl says:

    Since facebook is a social networking site and therefore not ever going to earn me money, am I free to steal quotes off your blog for my status update? I’m not feeling particularly creative today, it being Monday and all, so I’d like to steal your material. I could post a link to your blog if that would keep your knee-breakers at bay. Let me know. k-thx Because I’m apparently a racist, but I’d hate to be thought of as a thief too.

  14. Joe Schmo says:

    “Sherrod: “I want him to show me how he’s not a racist.” How do you do that?”

    Breitbart should just respond with “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours”

    One of the biggest Raceists of all time had to be Mark Donohue.

  15. Son of Bob says:

    “So apparently Sherrod hasn’t learned a single lesson about baseless charges of racism.”

    No, and she also hasn’t learned that sometimes it’s better to shut up and let people think you’re an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it…again.

  16. DamnCat says:

    Jesse Owens – now there was a real raceist. He taught those Nazis a think or two about raceism!

  17. shiggz says:

    -Shouldn’t that new Miley Cyrus song be called “Cant be Shamed”? -Has no one else thought of that?

    -Democratic socialism is a working perpetual motion machine in politics.

  18. ussjimmycarter says:

    You need to move to a rational methodology, Frank J! Then the use cases are developed at the same time as Requirements are developed. You should see a higher % of useful use cases… Try RUP, Rational Unified Process… I sound like a homosexual and am going to stick my head in the toilet now…

  19. MarkoMancuso says:

    Storm, Kinser is such a proud Raceist he calls himself an “Outlaw” and even claims there is a “World of Outlaws” like him.

    Geek, we do no need no stinking exception handling! do what Boris do, hire General Protection. Eets always his fault.

    Shorter Obama: “Can you get that jar from the high shelf? I can’t reach it.”

    Where is the first Sasquatch when he needs her. He would just be confused on how the jar works anyway.

  21. Jimmy says:

    ussjc, was that toilet humor?

  22. Iowa Jim says:

    Exception handling! It’s like 50% of programming is for 5% of use cases.

    That’s probably why 50% of programming time accounts for 90% of the function, while the remaining 50% accounts for the remaining 90%.

    I drink Democrat cool aid and I’m proud.
    I use to feel alone in a crowd.
    But now you look around these days.
    And it seems there’s a racist craze.
    I’m a racist he’s a racist she’s a racist we’re a racist.
    Wouldn’t you like to be a racist too?
    I’m a racist he’s a racist she’s a racist.

    Us racists are an interesting breed.
    Original racism is what we need.
    Ask any racist and they’ll say “only Democrat cool aid tastes that way.”

    I like my iPad, too. It’s so easy, even a laptop user can do it!

  25. NO_MO_BAMA says:

    An Ipad is one of those things pirates wear, right?

  26. zzyzx says:

    Naw…that’s a peg leg.

  27. Sgt Relic says:

    “It would be nice if we had a blood test so you could get a certificate showing you’re not a racist.”

    There is no blood test but I do have a certificate of “Freedom from White Guilt” from Dr. Walter Williams, so I’m good.
