iCal is biting my ass

Notice anything unusual about the week view of my iCal calendar? How about the fact that THERE IS NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER OF THE ACTUAL MONTH THIS WEEK IS IN.

Isn’t the whole point of a calendar to help you manage date and time based events?

WTF?

Arrested Development Creator Quits, Show’s Future In Danger…

“Arrested Development” creator Mitch Hurwitz says he will not be continuing with the series, throwing a major — likely fatal — monkey wrench into attempts to keep the Emmy-winning laffer alive for a fourth season.

Series producers 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine Television had agreed on a deal to move “Arrested,” previously on Fox, to Showtime — assuming Hurwitz was willing to come back. In the end, however, a mix of creative and financial concerns has prompted Hurwitz to move on. (Read more…)

A medical explanation for religion

flying spaghetti monsterGlad tidings of great joy: there could be a straightforward medical explanation for at least three of the world’s major religions. Moses, Mohammed, and Jesus all experienced revelations on mountains, but they were probably just suffering a form of altitude sickness, say a group of Swiss and Israeli neurologists, casting doubt in the process on the very existence of God.

Leprechaun Hotness Of The Week

I think WTF just about covers it.

Bush crosses his fingers behind his back again on Patriot Act Reauthorization

And here we go again folks…

Bush signed the bill with fanfare at a White House ceremony March 9, calling it ”a piece of legislation that’s vital to win the war on terror and to protect the American people.” But after the reporters and guests had left, the White House quietly issued a ‘’signing statement,” an official document in which a president lays out his interpretation of a new law.

In the statement, Bush said that he did not consider himself bound to tell Congress how the Patriot Act powers were being used and that, despite the law’s requirements, he could withhold the information if he decided that disclosure would ”impair foreign relations, national security, the deliberative process of the executive, or the performance of the executive’s constitutional duties.” (Read more…)

Just like he did when signing McCain’s Torture Ban, Bush has added a “signing statement” to his authorization of the USA Patriot Act, declaring that he is free to ignore all rules on that pesky oversight of the FBI’s expanded powers. The fantastic abuses of our constitution and civil liberties continue.

Once again, thank you Kniwt for serving this MUY CALIENTE dish of news within SECONDS of it happening. Its almost like being there.

Tom Cruise ignores Katie to enquire about my marital status

Update: Valleywag is keeping track of funny related things.

Tom and Katie visited Yahoo! today and I ran into them as I was leaving the cafeteria. While the actual text of our conversation was something like:

Tomcruise: Hey there how are you? Seems to be clearing up!
Erikgibb: Yes it is! We’ve had a miserable couple of days!

… the subtext was quite clear:

Tomcruise: Erik - After the heir is begotten, will you get freak nasty with me?

Erikgibb: Sorry Tom. I fell asleep during MI:2 and I have no doubt “freak nasty” will result in similar side effects. By the way, your best work was in your underwear in Risky Business. XOXO!
