Sorry. Really. I wanted to keep you entertained with my barbs and witticisms. But for almost 2 months now, I just really didn't have anything to say.
Now that we've gotten my luke-warm apologies out of the way, on to local-ish news. Former Purdue student Vikram Buddhi is going up the river for threatening President Bush, other luminaries of the current regime, and their families. On Yahoo! Finance message boards.
- Perfect choice of audience. Yahoo Finance is where the Revolution will start.
- Perfect medium. Thanks for clogging up the internets tubes, guy, with your rants. Let this be a lesson to anyone who says anything negative and crude, especially on message boards. I'm talking to you, illiterate thirteen-year-olds parading as xians on venzaga.com.
- And perfect time to have a tan in America, especially in our little red neck of the woods. If you are sheet white, it's okay to say John Edwards should be assasinated. But if you look like you've been to the beach a few times, baked to a nice dark shade, nadie no dice nada. Got it? Go take some spelunking lessons with Ann Coulter or something. That chick (it wears dresses so for the limitations of English pronouns I'll just refer to it in the feminine sense) is bullet-proof. No pun.
The one thing, journalistically speaking I find odd about the whole thing, is the accompanying photograph to the story.
I suspect they show the defendant's poorly resized and warped picture in such a way he looks like an evil, Indian-version of Montgomery Burns for a few subtle reasons.
- Mad genius goes nuts. See what being smart got ya? Children, stay stupid or you'll end up like this guy.
- Can't trust those non-white folks.
- He even looks like an alien. This is why we need Star Wars Missle Defense shields.
Possibly maybe?
