I’m done.  Seriously, I’ve had it.  I’m done with the lies and the hype and the spam and the spin doctoring.  I’m done with “twitter methods” that promise thousands of followers and fame and fortune and all they really deliver is spam, affiliate marketing, and zombies – the precise thing they claim to avoid. You […]

yet another statistic that makes me want to claw my eyes out and/or move to canada.  possibly canada isn’t remote enough…are there rooms available on Sealand? (via The Daily Dish, Andrew Sullivan @ the Atlantic and @Agent_M )

Dear Santa — WTF, dude?  I mean, I know we haven’t talked in like 25 years or something, but really?  Cancelling the best show on TV (Dollhouse, duh), and what do we get instead in 2010?  Freaking Caprica?  Are you on drugs?  And don’t even get me started on Stargate: Universe…or, rather Stargate: Who’s Driving this Bus?
