Microsoft doesn't suck today

(cnet.com) After a (foolish) kid named Mike Rowe launches his business with the website MikeRoweSoft.com, Microsoft sues. It gets dumber. And then in the end, the kid gets an XBox, some free Microsoft classes and a trip to Redmond, Wash. They've decided to make a friend to this guy instead of pushing him off to become a Linux punk or an Apple junkie. Me, I suspect that while he's in Redmond, they'll throw him in the Microsoft dungeon (located beneath one of the parking structures) for having crossed them. When that happens, you can say you read it here first.

Bye, Captain Kangaroo

(msnbc.com) I barely remember Captain Kangaroo, but I know that I used to watch his show without fail in my much younger days. With him and Fred Rogers gone, we're left with Barney (bad), Bear (good), Teleblubbies (bad) and Michael Jackson (way bad). How sad.

Unions Suck

Ha ha ha. 13 people were arrested for striking on the private property of the Vons corporate offices. Stupid unions. Unions suck. They protect marginal and underperforming workers and strong-arm businesses. Glad to see the grocery stores standing up to them.
