Zero Tolerance (FOAGOMP)

By The Angry Drunk

I’m declaring a zero tolerance policy towards the willfully ignorant, the terminally self absorbed, and the criminally selfish. To take a page from the author David Brin, I am part of a civilization, and so are you. What does that mean? It means that responding to the issues of the day with facile responses such as [...]

My Dream

By The Angry Drunk

This is my dream for Obama’s first press conference after the inauguration:

Obama walks to the podium. Suddenly old-school hip hop starts playing and Obama yells, “Yo! Yo! Yo my negroes! Where all the white women at up in the hizz-ouse?”

Once the screams of horror and panic die down the music will stop, and Obama will calmly [...]

Concern

By The Angry Drunk

Apparently the new right wing tactic is to express their concern that we progressives don’t get our hopes up too high over Obama. Thanks douchebags, I think we’ll manage.

Porn:

By The Angry Drunk

If I ever go into porn, my stage name will be “Deuce McCockle.”

Thank You Hillary.

By The Angry Drunk

Before getting started here I want to make a few things clear. I do not like the Clintons; neither Hillary or Bubba. I’m firmly of the opinion that they, and the Democratic Leadership Council that they represent are, in many ways, nothing more than “Republican Lite.” Having said that, if the situation was different and Hillary [...]

Brilliant Logic

By The Angry Drunk

I’m going to take a quick break from Apple and New Media Douchebag related topics to point out some Old Media Douchebaggery. I don’t follow sports much (read, “at all”) but I can spot some dipshit logic as well and anyone, so this piece by Alan Abrahamson at nbcolympics.com caught my eye. The bottom line [...]

Suck It Blogosphere!

By The Angry Drunk

MacRumors is reporting that some bunch named the American Customer Satisfaction Index have ranked Apple at the top of some customer satisfaction survey. But wait, I thought that Apple was doomed by it’s horrible hubris to a fate worse than corporate death. Oh, that’s just what the doucheblogs want us to think. In reality, the average [...]

Douchebag of the Week (Early Contender)

By The Angry Drunk

Hey kids, got this one via the whiny fuckers over at The Consumerist under the delightfully wrong title of AT&T Won’t Honor iPhone Price Announced In Its Own Press Release. The long and short of it is that our Douchebag of the Week contender “Rom” wants an iPhone 3G, and he doesn’t want to pay [...]

My God Another One Gets It!

By The Angry Drunk

In a welcome break from the current torrent of “Apple is dooomed” reporting, Jason Snell over at MacWorld hits on, what I think, is the real story in this piece. Jason’s argument, which I agree with whole-heartedly, is that the string of Apple failures leading up to July’s mega fiasco is the result of Apple [...]
