It turns out Britney Spears really did have sex with Justin Timberlake, by her own admission.
“I’ve only slept with one person my whole life,” she said. “It was two years into my relationship with Justin, and I thought he was the one. But I was wrong!”
I’m sure she can look forward to making that mistake many more times…
Fil sent me this link today. It’s pretty neat, a short survey that basically tells you which candidate most accurately reflects your views. The survey isn’t too thorough, but it’s interesting nonetheless. These were my results:
1. Libertarian Candidate (100%)
2. Bush, George W. – US President (66%)
3. Sharpton, Reverend Al – Democrat (47%)
4. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT – Democrat (47%)
5. Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH – Democrat (43%)
6. Edwards, Senator John, NC – Democrat (40%)
7. Kerry, Senator John, MA – Democrat (39%)
8. Phillips, Howard – Constitution (39%)
9. Gephardt, Cong. Dick, MO – Democrat (39%)
10. Lieberman Senator Joe CT – Democrat (37%)
11. Graham, Senator Bob, FL – Democrat (32%)
12. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL – Democrat (23%)
13. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. – Democrat (-8%)
Thanks to the comment from Allison on Schulte’s log, I was able to read this article.
NIH says McSweegan is director of the US-Indo Vaccine Action Program, and has traveled to countries such as Russia representing the agency. He has also ”produced reports and other work products.”
But McSweegan said he has never been told he was director of the program and knew of no such title. Three other people ran the project, and his work for it — such as arranging coffee for lunches and forwarding messages — was ”the kind of work you would get an intern to do.”
Another $100K well spent by the government. As amazing as it is, it still doesn’t surprise me. And just think, how many people in this guys’ shoes do you think would really fess up to it and give an interview like this? Probably not many. Who knows how many more people are out there flying under the radar collecting our money? The government is huge and cannot account for itself.
And who wants to bet that the NIH is still getting plenty of federal dollars despite these inefficiencies that would leave it bankrupt if it were a private organization?
Well, the streak ended in full force today. I saw two movies and, thankfully, neither showed a man’s bare ass. One was Capturing the Friedmans which was quite good and didn’t show any naked behinds even though there was a lot of discussion about sodomy. The second was the 25th Hour which was decent, and although Edward Norton talked about getting raped in prison, thankfully no such scenes were present in the film.
So, since me and my 2 friends agreed we’d communicate solely through Web Logs… what’s the deal with Schulte’s bachelor party? I talked to the best man who pretty much said we should go at it. Have we done anything for it yet though? No. Do I have any free weekends between now and the wedding? Not really. Does it look like this thing will really get off the ground? It sure as hell doesn’t.
Although I’ve been working at this location for several months, I guess now it’s finally open.
Today Kim and I saw the film 28 Days Later. It was pretty cool… very creepy. Why is it worth mentioning here? Oh yes, it continued the streak of films with man ass. Probably also worth highlighting… this movie went another step forward and included full-frontal male nudity. I knew this movie would be scary, but I had no idea…
I don’t know what you were doing last night, but I was home on the computer watching the Red Sox win 25-8. I think you know it’s a bad sign when the first inning takes 50 minutes, you use three pitchers, and the opposing team scores 10 runs before a single out is recorded.
Other notable and hilarious statistics: Johnny Damon was a homerun away from hitting for the cycle in one inning.
It’s articles like this that really do get on my nerves. I hope this article didn’t intend to be a serious piece of non-biased journalism (at least it points out the fact that the source is a “liberal think tank”). The article basically says that a new government policy is going to cost 8 million people their overtime pay.
A few notable quotes:
…it would cost 2.5 million salaried employees and 5.5 million hourly employees their right to overtime pay.
The proposal could also cause workers to work longer hours, since the Labor Department doesn’t put any limit on the number of hours per week an employee must work
Now, if someone could point out where in the constitution it says people have a “right” to overtime pay I’d love to read more about that. Also, if someone can point out where under these new regulations it says employers CAN’T continue to pay overtime, that would be interesting to see too. Oh yes, and personally, and I hope for each person, I don’t want or need the government telling me how many or few hours I can work per week.
What is really happening here -I hope- is that we’re seeing less intrusion into our lives from the government. Not to drag the minimum wage argument in, but it’s virtually always the case that when the government keeps it’s nose out of what an employee and employer agree on for wages, the number of jobs available increases. When the government (who is supposed to work for us) stops telling the private sector they have to pay $X, the market can agree on what the correct price is (typically lower) and can afford to offer more jobs based on supply (of employees) and demand (for the products/services). The wages settle to equilibrium and employees will continue to gravitate towards jobs where the demand is higher.
The article itself is picking up on a possible outcome of a given policy and calling it a negative thing simply because some people may get paid less. Well let me phrase it another way: government is undoing the wrongs that it has done. It is stepping back and letting the private sector determine what is right and fair.
The supreme court ruled a Texas law banning sodomy unconstitutional.
I support this decision, as well as all other decisions that keep the government off people’s asses (badump-cha!).
