Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., is my representative in the House of Representatives of these here United States of America. I’m really not sure if I voted for him, when I was in the voting booth I just voted for women and and guys whose names sounded ethnic-y. But if I did vote for Moran, due to some confusion on my part that he was Hispanic, I am proud I made the informed vote.
The distinguished gentlemen from the Commonwealth of Virginia is taking a stand against one of the most pressing issues our country faces today. You guessed it: erectile dysfunction ads.
Since the late 1990s, these ads have been plaguing America. They were subtle then, because we were all naive–that and Viagra had a corner on the market. But a few years back, Cialis, Levitra (from the Latin root “levitat,” to make rise) and others came on the scene. Suddenly, there was market competition, which meant one thing: scrap the subtleties and innuendos, throw Bob Dole out the window and start beating Americans over the head with what their product will do.

Microsoft has kept their development of Windows 7 as closely guarded as the production of a Uwe Boll movie.
However, they’ve just announced that it will be available in time for Christmas (or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa if Jewish and African-American children misbehave, too).
This is very reassuring because software companies never rush incomplete products out the door just in time for the greatest retail sales period of the year.

You just know someone’s going to get screwed.
At least one activist group needs to understand that Lysistrata was comedy. I personally applaud this man for making that clear.

Is it just us, or does the Pope cover some dated issues?
What did he talk about in the Middle East today? The Holocaust and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Other times? Birth control, abortion and masturbation. Oh, and don’t get us started on the old man’s stories about Jesus. (How many times can you hear about the same three miracles, anyway?)
Weren’t these topics already settled in 1970s and 1980s ABC After-School Specials, and more grippingly than an old German guy speaking Latin?
We want some new insights, Your Holiness. What do you think about Twitter? Or universal health care? How bad did you think Wolverine was? Get some new material, old man.

A couple months ago, Japan made plans to bring Saya, the robot teacher, to their classrooms.
The Japanese government, by 2015 it expects every household in Japan to have it’s own robot. To help facilitate this, they’ve now poured nearly $35 million into development of artificial intelligence and design. So, with any (bad) luck, we’ll start seeing the mass production. Of course, this could will lead to an eventual robot invasion–or it might just put a few humans out of work–but given that I already work for corporate overlords that often already emotions akin to a robot, it can’t possibly be that bad. Right?
RIGHT?
