Jackson custody battle to be decided by private judge

The only reason why I am linking to this story is because the private judge assigned to handle Michael Jackson’s custody case, Judge Stephen Lachs, works through my office. He’s a really nice guy, and this is great publicity for the dispute resolution industry. It’s cool too, because maybe, just maybe, this means that Michael Jackson will be coming to my office. Oh please please please please please please, I want to witness this freakshow SO BAD!

Ugh.

“No, not Nader again. In an act of pure egotism, Ralph Nader – who has been largely silent on the main issues of the day, nursing his wounds since the last time he messed up an election – insists on another chance to play at electoral politics on the national stage. Does he have no sense of accountability or shame?”

I’m all for independants running for office. There’s no reason why only a Democrat or a Republican can be President. BUT JUST NOT THIS YEAR, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! It is SO important to get Bush out, and if Nader takes votes away from the only other viable candidate and fucks this up, that is just sick and wrong.

Those nutty Christians

I saw on Good Morning America this morning that in Plano, Texas, the multiplex movie theatre was showing “The Passion of the Christ” on ALL TWENTY SCREENS, and there were people there as early as 7am this morning for a screening. Has anyone heard any reviews about this movie? Is it actually supposed to be any good?

See your dreams in black and white

This is really cool. This site, Slow Wave, takes descriptions of readers dreams and illustrates them in four panel comic book style. Got a cool dream you want to see illustrated? I think I have a few… [link via pop culture junkmail]

Check out this list of the top 100 sports moments on The Simpsons. Actually, this list is only 100-75, check back for more later…

Lisa: But my parents are counting on seeing me dance! And I’ve worked ever so hard.

Vicki: I’m sorry, Lisa, but giving everyone an equal part when they’re clearly not equal is called what, again, class?

Class: Communism!

Vicki: That’s right. And I didn’t tap all those Morse code messages to the Allies ’til my shoes filled with blood to just roll out the welcome mat for the Reds.

Lovely weekend had by all

Hi there. Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday but I was in Northern California for my friend Vinnie’s wedding this weekend. We had a great time, got the whole group of us together for the first time since my wedding almost four years ago. Lots of good food, LOTS of beer, good friends. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Justly Married

This site has a wonderful gallery of photos from San Francisco City Hall, where thousands of same-sex couples are getting married. How can anyone look at these ecstatic faces and say that it is wrong? [link via pop culture junkmail]

Sold! To the dumbass with the big checkbook in the back.

I’d be afraid to buy this ring. I’d be afraid it would curse my relationship - nay, ALL of my relationships - to horrible failure.
