What in the world is going on with my blog’s comment spam in the last few days?

From the Swiss Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology. I think I’ll go kick a dandelion.

I love this person, because he or she is incompetent in the most amusing way. One would hope that such blazing incompetence renders such people inept in their efforts to harm others, though for every con there is probably a gullible enough mark out there…

I am, I admit, a paleocapitalist and (mostly a) paleoconservative. That said, I do not think oil company executives - or any other corporate executives - should have to defend their company’s profits, unless illegally gained. For that reason, this meddling strikes me as ridiculous. Lest we forget, oil is among the most volatile and [...]

I just got a phone call from 606-833-0105. I have no idea who that is and I was driving, in any case, so I let it ring through, but there was no voicemail. Apparently (see link above), that number is responsible for lots of calls, all of them weird…

I had forgotten another wonderful byproduct of DST. Microsoft Outlook automatically changes all of my all-day or multi-day appointments to start one hour later. Why it would be true, now, that the Fourth of July holiday would start at 1:00 AM, for example… I have no idea.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered, however, that it had adjusted not only the time, but the alarm times, as well. So, at 2:00 AM, it apparently set the [...]

There are people in Hyde Park who, apparently, think most of the neighborhood’s residents are hard of hearing. Every couple of days, somebody stops a car on one of the streets near Regents and starts hitting the horn - three long honks, once a minute or so, for about an hour and a half.
Non-freaking-stop.

As I have posted before, the allegedly broadband internet service provided by MDU at Regents Park (my apartment building) is mediocre, at best. It just went from mediocre to unacceptably awful.
First, the bandwidth has dropped off again - we’re back down to a level between dial-up and broadband speeds. So, we called to complain, expecting [...]

You have to see it to believe it: Breitbart.tv » NBA Great Charles Barkley Calls Conservatives ‘Fake Christians’. I’m not sure if Barkley thinks that all conservatives claim to be Christian, or all Christians claim to be conservative, or what he’s talking about, at all. I really have no idea what he thinks the religious [...]
