Sports - Paul Tagliabue... American Idiot.
So my beloved (and often less than loved) Kansas City Chiefs are being forced to fly into a hurricane evacuation zone, get off a plane and six hours later play a professional football game in Miami, Florida. Why? Why is comissioner Paul Tagliabue so set on this game being played? Doesn't he have the frickin Weather Channel? The NFL obviously isn't concerned with players safety.
This game can be rescheduled so Miami doesn't lose a home game and they wouldn't be adding to the chaos and confusion of a hurricane evacuation!
Stupid, stupid move.
Good luck guys.

Humor - Sort of... it's very accurate.
From my linkfilter buddy manGina:
A major research institution has announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet know to science - "governmentium." It has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons and 111 assistant deputy neutrons for an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons that are further surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like sub particles called peons.
Governmentium has no electrons and is therefore inert. It can be detected however since it impedes every reaction it comes into contact with. A tiny amount of governmentium can take a reaction that normally occurs in seconds and slow it to the point where it take days.
Governmentium has a normal half life of three years. It doesn't decay but "re- organizes", a process where assistant deputy neutrons and deputy neutrons change places. This process actually causes it to grow as in the confusion some morons become neutrons, thereby forming isodopes.
This phenomenon of "moron promotion" has led to some speculation that governmentium forms whenever sufficient morons meet in concentration forming critical morass. Researches believe that in Governmentium, the more you re- organize, the morass you cover.

Mydomains.com is my host for my domain. The morons there say their email servers are "bogged down" and are expecting new hardware by the end of the week. Until then I get no email sent to my domain address.
Screw them. By the time they correct it I hope everyone has moved to another hosting service. I am.

Odd - Wait... the nuclear what now?!?!
"Kansas State University’s nuclear reactor deserves a failing grade for lapses in security, according to an ABC News investigation of college research reactors.
The investigation, in which ABC News interns attempted to gain access to the reactors on 25 campuses, found that K-State’s reactor “would get an F and zero for protection,” according to Ronald E. Timm, a security consultant who analyzed reactor security for the ABC report.
Most of the other reactors fared just as badly in the ABC investigation, which airs at 9 tonight on Primetime Live. The University of Missouri at Columbia’s reactor was also criticized for poor perimeter security.
Officials at both schools questioned whether the interns really knew enough about nuclear reactor security to point out flaws. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has promised to investigate any security lapses and make changes if necessary, according to NRC spokesman Eliot Brenner.
When the two interns — who told reactor operators they were prospective graduate students — went to the K-State reactor, they toured the facility with a video camera and were able to gain access to the control room and the reactor room. ABC also criticized the reactor for having no metal detectors or guards. The reactor is open to tours, but all visitors must present identification and subject their belongings to a search.
K-State spokeswoman Cheryl May said the reactor doesn’t have enough radioactive material to be a target for terrorists. She said the university uses the reactor for research and instruction, and opens it up to tours so the public can become more educated about nuclear science.
K-State reactor director Mike Whaley worries the ABC report may bring an end to the tours, which he said attract about 2,500 people a year.

If you buy a Kia Spectra and try to pull a fully loaded horse trailer, it will break down. The question is, do you admit it's the wrong vehicle for what you want to do and get something else, or do you shoot the horse, leave it in the ditch and tow the damn thing empty?
If you chose the last option, Congratulations! You are government employee material!

Wish I had some extra money, I'd love to get back into collecting comic books.

Personal - A weekend, a holiday and a day off.
I treated myself to a four day weekend courtesy of Columbus Day and a vacation day. (Seriously... why is Columbus Day a federal holiday?)
Friday my folks came up and spent the day and evening with my daughter. They don't even care if I'm around anymore. It's all about the grand kids.
Saturday my wife and I volunteered at the Weston Irish Fest. Free admission, free food and drink and a t-shirt in exchange for a couple hours of labor. Wow. We worked our butts off, but had a great time. We had volunteered to work the beer tent because, let's face it, I loves the beer. My wife took tickets (4 tickets for one beer or one shot and 6 for an Irish Car Bomb) and I poured beer from 1 to 6. Turned out that of the four guys pouring the beer, I was the only one who knew how to tap a keg. (It's like riding a bike...) So in the five hours there, I moved and tapped 26 kegs. Also I got really good at making 1/2 and 1/2's.
After our shift, we ate and drank for free and watched a few bands. I highly enjoyed Fuchsia and Jiggernaut, though Jiggernaut was less celtic and more alt-rock-ish. Brigid's Cross wasn't bad, but they tried to do too much comedy in between songs and came across as forced and scripted. The Prodigals I was very un-impressed with.
We couldn't get a hotel in Weston because there was a Nascar race in town and every redneck west of the Mississippi was in town, so we had to not drink much because of the drive home.
Sunday we took the offspring to the pumpkin patch and to buy her Halloween costume. She's walking around the house as a princess. I think it's type casting.
Monday was a lazy day. Just some couch time with the family. I did make Irish stew though. It turned out great. As my wife wouldn't let me back in the house if I tried to add Lamb to the stew (as is proper for Irish stew,) I made it with just chicken stock, potato, onion, carrot, celery, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley. Poured it in a couple of bread bowls... very, very tasty.
Tuesday I broke down and went to see the doctor. I've been wheezing and coughing for over a week. I tried Mucinex, NyQuil, cough syrup, everything I could think of, but I wasn't getting better. Turns out I have an upper respiratory infection. I'm on anti-biotics and am now an inhaler carrying nerd. Oh yes, my journey to the dork side is now complete.
I'm off to put some tape around the bridge of my glasses.

Rachel Ray is getting a one hour talk show in the fall.
Yes, the same Rachel Ray that is currently host of Food Network's 30 Minute Meals, $40 a Day, Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels, and Inside Dish with Rachael Ray. By my estimation, Ms. Ray will now be on air for more hours a week than I am awake.
