hello from Amsterdam
Indonesian food

Belgian beer
Turkish coffee

None of these are native to Amsterdam, but all seem like they have been here a while and fit in beautifully.

I need one of those.
Note to self: Look into product development and patent.

Life.
Buddhism teaches that life is suffering. When I first learned about this religion as an 18 year old college student, I had trouble getting my head around this. How could a religion that seemed so positive lead off with something like this? As I looked around I saw very little suffering. I didn’t quite understand. The older I get the more I understand.
To live means to suffer, because the...

But today’s Supreme Court ruling, declaring corporate cash is protected free speech, opens up the floodgates of corporate influence. And as horrifying as that prospect is, it does create new political possibilities.
Disgust with corporate influence is raging. The appearance of Wall Street influence in the Obama administration contributed to an unthinkable result in...

Still going to Holland?
What made you finally enable the ask feature when you first hated it so much? Can you play the piano?
When will you write some of your nice poems on here?

This is very, very bad news. Far worse than the MA-Senate race results.

Yeah, but does it really matter? There are a million ways to get money into people’s hands. However, I disagree about the MA...
Old people in the age of technology
So we just hired a 78 year old financial advisor in southern Florida. I immediately had some issues with this. First of all, he is 78! He has plenty of money, owns three houses, has a family, grown kids..hell, grown grandkids, and a great grandchild. Why not jsut quit this dumb work thing and hang out wiht the family. Well, he’s an asshole and probably doesn’t even like them…but...
Conan gets 32mil to leave Tonight Show and NBC
Yes! Hope Conan gets a show that can let him showcase his true talent. He was too good for the PG Tonight Show. Hope he gets a big stack of that cash and rolls around in it naked and laughs his ass off.
Leno to host again. My hate grows stronger. Why do people like this asshole?
John Edwards
Finally admits to being baby daddy. No shit, Edwards…I kinda like this. He always seemed a little too perfect. I suspected he was a douche when I heard about that ridiculous haircut. But cheating on your wife when she has cancer? C’mon man. And you think you are President worthy? Despicable.
Meteorologist, Reynolds Wolf...
What kind of name is this, CNN? Its like a soap opera name. I like he might be a robot. And shouldn’t a Meteorologist study meteors? Why aren’t they Weatherologists? Or better yet, “talking head guy that reads the weather from teleprompter.”
Something tells me Reynolds isn’t studying radars and tracking weather systems when the camera turns off.
When you try to do too many things, you can’t do anything very well.
– that’s why I am focusing on humorous one liners
The news is extra apocalyptic today
earthquakes, floods, landslides, snow storms, evil Republicans who sell their daughters while posing “nude”, evil Democrats that will spend all your money and cram healthcare down unwilling american throats, Goldman Sachs toxic assets… “Financial Meth Labs??” (really…thats a headline on CNN at this very second), terrorists, wars, suicide bombers, tax hikes,...
I want it all to burn, so I can warm up my hands.
that pretty much sums it up. People are smarmy douche bags and I am kind of sick of it.
Coakley
You blew it. Actually the whole Democratic party is blowing it…I think this is a pretty clear sign of that. Can we all agree now? What i find the most funny is that it appears the most damaging thing Coakley did during the campaign was say Curt Schilling was a Yankee fan. And we think the tea baggers have dumb reasons behind their vote and behave irrationally? Taxes and lack of control of...
