Stuff I Stumbled Upon

From FreePress.net

Just moments ago the Justice Department filed suit to block AT&T’s proposed takeover of T-Mobile.

In announcing the suit, the DoJ’s top antitrust enforcer said, "Any way you look at it, this deal is anti-competitive." Free Press couldn’t agree more. And for once, policymakers put the law above politics and stood up to a powerful company.

I’m so happy!  Although we wouldn’t be in this situation, if George W. Bush hadn’t torn down all the anti-trust legislation, that was originally designed to keep “Ma Bell” in small separate pieces—ah, monopoly’s.

Update: Still having power issues.

With her hatred for immigrants, the poor, the sick—her book should be just like Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”

If you think that’s going to far, just remember Michele Bachmann compared Health Care Reform to the Holocaust and Hitler put people who were disabled into concentration camps—so trust me, it’s not a stretch at all to compare the two and not be exaggerating.

In her defense, she probably hasn’t had to use her brains too much before.

Update: After I finished writing this, I realized that due to her age and her name—I might and I stress “might” have gone to high school with her.

I get that Lifetime is “Television for Women”, although apparently in this case it’s “Television for “lesbian” Women”—which is fine, cause I just set the TiVo to catch me up on all the episodes (in HD of course).

Hot. Just Hot.

Gee… I wonder what could have happened?

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

God—the cops in Arizona and Alabama are going to have their hands full on Halloween, with all the “illegals” running around (pictured below).

Of course this kid’s likely story will be that she’s just trick or treating and that kids don’t carry around their citizenship papers.  We’ll see if she keeps to her “story”—after a little waterboarding.

Currently my backup battery is dead .  The power occasionally flickers off and apparently last night my system didn’t shutdown—so the thing’s drained.  The unfortunate part is that it takes just about 24 hours to do a complete recharge and with people still out of power in the county, the potential of further problems will only continue as the remaining sections of the city and county are turned back on.  For obvious reasons, I hate using my system with no protection and I realized after reading @FlorianSchmid ‘s tweets that I’ve got a few burned out surge protectors as well—joy.  So I’ve posted a few things for this morning to keep you guys going and I’m going to try to do some for this evening after my backup is recharged a bit more.

Also the site’s going to have a tshirt—real soon; I’ve seen a screen shot and it’s pretty funny.

So it’s probably going to be another week or two before they’ll be available, so I figured I’d run a little contest.

I’m looking for something like this:

Now it doesn’t have to be Zimbabwe money or a note for 10,000,000—what it does need to have is the word “Dollars” on it somewhere and it needs to be legal tender.  Essentially I’m looking for some severely deflated currency that you don’t want any more—in exchange, you’ll get a “Stuff I Stumbled Upon” tshirt.  (It can be $100 confederate bills… it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s some high amount—ideally the more worthless it is, the better)

Multiple entries are accepted.  It’s going to be used for a pretty funny prank and you’ll get to see the final prank featured on the site.  Plus you’ll receive credit for the prank in the form of a “Thank you, this couldn’t have been done without BLANK’S help” at the bottom of the post, so when it goes viral all your friends will know that you had a hand in it. 

So, if you’ve got some worthless currency that you don’t want—and it says dollars on it, contact me at MatisseWallander@gmail.com with a screenshot or details of what is.

Doesn’t she look like she shaves with a razor… on her face?

There were some close up photos—but I just ate, so that’s why they’re not on here.

That’s not even a joke… click on the photo above for the link—at your own risk.

I wonder what could have laid that?

In completely unrelated news… here’s a picture of Snooki.

I’m imagine the makeup people at Bravo have a similar situation with the “Real Housewives”.

All of a sudden that face lift seems to be making sense.  Although let’s face it, CBS is slowly coming to the realization that “The Talk” isn’t as wonderful as they touted it to be—“As The World Turns” is probably something they wish they hadn’t cancelled.

Maybe the republicans are right—human cloning apparently is evil.
