Still displeased with his intervention leading to VY being re-names QB1, and now Bud pulls this: http://mashable.com/2009/11/16/bud-adams-youtube/. Aside from the fact that an 86 year old man should REALLY know better (not to mention RETIRE ALREADY), how are you the owner of a team who’s … wait for it … 3 – 6, and feel justified in flipping off ANYBODY?!!

So in Britain, all personal communications (emails, phone calls, web browsing habits, etc.) will soon be stored by the government for a minimum of 1 year, with access by a whole host of people and no judge’s order required to access.

While I am not naive enough to believe that anyone has much privacy in this day and age, I think a government mandate of this type (all in the name of fighting terrorism, of course) is ludicrous and dangerous.

Interestingly, the government is pushing forward with this despite MASSIVE public resistance to the idea. Guess W has been over there giving “how to be a leader” seminars.

A scale that automatically tweets your weight. I kid you not. If this company isn’t bankrupt in a month, something is seriously wrong with the world. Okay, I know MANY things are seriously wrong in the world already, but you know what I mean.

Oh, and it’s not just that it exists, which is problematic enough, but these wackos think people are going to pay $160 for it!!! Yeah … if you’re completely insane, you can buy one here: http://www.withings.com/

Walmart now sells caskets. Truly. I did a quick search and found 16 models, starting at $895.

It is likely just that I hate Walmart, but somehow, it seems very wrong…
