Deviant Diatribes

Sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder what the hell 'Muslim clerics' are on. Case in point:

Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content. The 79-year-old Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan said Thursday that satellite channels cause the "deviance of thousands of people."

Wouldn't murder be classified as deviant?

"I want to advise the owners of these channels, who broadcast calls for such indecency and impudence ... and I warn them of the consequences," he said. "What does the owner of these networks think, when he provides seduction, obscenity and vulgarity...those calling for corrupt beliefs, certainly it's permissible to kill them"

Oh, ok, that makes it all better.

Basically he says it's ok to kill people for inciting deviance. Now I could be foggy on this, but as far as I know, murder is considered deviant; I'm pretty sure he just signed his own death warrant.

People who live in glass mosques...

Wait For It.

Just wait for it.

Uh Huh Huh Huh

I may be on to an actual political scandal here. Detailed photographic analysis indicates Joe Biden may be the latest politician to fall victim to a raging libido. Could this be his illegitimate son? Compare the images for yourself. The implications are staggering.

Signs of Geekitude

You know you're a geek when you're sitting at work with a live-blog of the new Google browser launch in the background. (Ok, that's not the geeky part.) Upon seeing that the download is now live, jumping up and doing a full on wind-sprint back to your office to install it because you're convinced it will be so popular that the links will go FUBAR and you'll lose your 0-day cred - that's pure Geek.

Letting The Truth Be Known

There are some people on Earth whose entire existance hinges singularly on their ability to be a raging asshole of epic proportion. I know this will come as a great shock to most, and should this information get out to the general public there could well be mass panic, riots in the streets...looting, or even the collapse of major religions. Ok, well not really, but still.

I'm going to open the floodgate and let the torrent flow. My boss is an asshole.

I don't just say this because he's my boss. No, I've had bosses I actually got along famously with in the past. It's just this guy...my God where to begin? The way I usually explain him to people is this. Imagine a hyperactive Jack Russel Terrier with a really bad attitude who is being forced to intake huge quantities of meth.

You only see him at most once or twice a week, and then it's only because he's found you've been party to some excessively minor infraction of a rule that nobody knew existed before he shat it out in a fit of panic at the need to have a rule with which to charge you. I don't know if it's just because he's a diminutive little prick or maybe he just has a diminutive little prick and has to overcompensate for it by running off at the mouth.

There's definitely some Freudian principle at work with him. Of that I'm sure. He's incapable of actually uttering anything polite or inspiring without shortly following it up with a sniping, backstabbing, mean-spirited, verbal dagger of sheer douchebaggery.

It's like...no child left behind, only it's 'no assholish thing left unsaid.' Just as sharks will die if they stop swimming, I think he's convinced his penis will shrink even further if he stops taking shots at people. Apparently he's unable or unwilling to realize that there is a time for being an asshole at work, but that time does not extend from open to close every single day of the week.

I am sick of sucking it up and just letting him rant. From bringing up issues which should have been

resolved privately at staff meetings to calling me at 5 pm on my day off and giving me a blast of shit for not being there and then lying through his crooked teeth and telling me he told me I had to be and too many other instances to get into. (The keyboard would actually break from overuse if I detailed the reasons I can't stand him into a compact, War and Peace style 'tract.')

If you're reading this, ***, I would just like to tell you politely: Piss off, asshole.
