Andi Need's A New Phone!

Recently, my wife was coming home from BarBri classes when she got her iPhone jacked from her at the Wilson Red Line stop here in Chicago. We’ve only been here for 3 weeks. Nice way to start out in the city…

It was snatched right out of her hands, violating her personal space, her property and sense of excitement being in this city.

Naturally, within 45 minutes of it getting ganked, we had the number suspended, all the passwords changed and we called AT&T for some help. None was provided…

Sadly, the corporate blood leeches that AT&T has become, told us we were out of luck for the stolen phone. They would not activate the GPS to track it down. Our only remedy was to just accept that it was gone and in order to replace it, we would have had to have insurance on the iPhone. Guess what models AT&T doesn’t provide insurance for? Yea, you got it. The iPhone.

OS 3.0 just dropped and we COULD have tracked it down with a hundred dollar subscription to MobileMe but hell, even that’s not a guarantee. So, any one want to take a guess as to how much it is to replace a 300 dollar phone?

500 dollars.

That’s right. It’s 500 clams. Which brings me to my point. As a pre-job lawyer, just starting out and waiting to take her Bar Exam, she needs a phone. So I’m turning to you fine folks.

For just one dollar, EVER, you can give support to something that actually matters. This isn’t some child with a hairlip in Cambodia that needs 40 cents a day, this is an almost lawyer, planning on going into public service, looking for a hand up. If you can spare a buck, just scroll to the top of the page and donate.

Who knows, one day you might need her services. Couldn’t hurt to get some probono work for an act of kindness today.

Scatterblast! Fancy Waste Of Time

I loathe you, ketchup packet. You are .32 oz of nuisance. There is enough ketchup in one of these damn little bags of tomato tease for approximately 3 french fries. What, am I anorexic? NO! So give me some damn ketchup. Why can’t it come in the same container as the Sweet ‘N Sour sauce or BBQ sauces? Those are at least .75 oz, and are MUCH easier to open and to dip my fries in. And fancy ketchup? Fuck you. It’s regular ketchup. Oh, and take the hint from Arby’s sauce packets. Those are at least .50 oz.

That’s It. I’m Done.

June Update!

After a long and arduous move to Chicago, updates will continue next week. Internets are mine once more!

Eureka! I've Found My Bigotry!

Continuing our coverage of the most basic of human rights extended to straight people everywhere, California pushes their collective head up their ass.

How the fuck this actually got pushed through in November is what astounds me. Now that the Supreme Court of California says it’s ok to fuck every gay person not married yet, they go ahead and keep the 18,000 gay marriages it’s already had (which hopefully will be it's undoing). It’s the very height of stupidity. Get your shit together. Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont are happily more progressive than the land of legal weed. How the fuck?

My Wife, My Hero... My New Lawyer

So today’s the day. Graduation. After 7 long years of school, my wife is done with law school and on her way to kicking some major fucking ass on the Bar. I’m so proud of her and everything she’s done.

Look out world, it’s Magnum Mary, Esquire.

The Holy See Spot Make An Ass Out Of Himself

So it’s Angry Messiah Week here and I thought I’d start by ragging on the Pope.

Seems every time Bennie leaves his count, er… castle, er… house, he gets blasted for not doing enough condemnation of the Holocaust. Yea, The Holocaust. You know the one.

Well I don’t know what the hell these people want from a man who is the head of the Christian nation. He was a fucking Nazi for Christ sakes. Sure, sure, he claims it was compulsory and he had to join or face death but come on…

Does this look like the face of a man that wouldn’t lie to you?

Bennie is on a five day reconciliation tour, where he belts out Top Ten hits like "We Didn't Start the Fire", “Aufwiedershen” and “Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr. Hitler” so he can promote peace, love and understanding (What's So Funny 'Bout) between the two faiths. I don’t think for a fucking second that the Holy See can actually bring the Muslims and Jews together in happy matrimony under the guise of Israel. You can’t just pop a county down in the middle of someone else’s lands. Oh, wait. Maybe we can.

Face it; you’ll never be a JPII. Take your car, your city-state, your stupid fucking hat, and shut the fuck up already. You’ve angered just about everyone in Europe. If you would just hurry up and die, Jebus’s Fan Club can go and get a real Pope. One who inspires people. Who doesn’t say condoms spread AIDS. Who doesn’t have a Hitler Youth Rally as their soundtrack to life. Who doesn’t inspire people to produce riffs on your life. In short, a Pope you can have a beer with because god damit, that’s all Americans want.
