Talladega

by tycage @ Monday, April 26th, 2004. Filed under NASCAR, Rants, Sports

I was pretty disappointed with the way the race on Sunday ended.
No, it wasn’t the fact that the race ended under caution (I’ll talk about that in a minute though). It wasn’t the fact that Dale Jr. didn’t win (I think that Gordon was ahead when the caution came out). It was the [...]

Pat Tillman

by tycage @ Friday, April 23rd, 2004. Filed under Rants

I’m sad that Pat Tillman died.
However, I think his death is getting way too much media attention. How many people have died in the military in the last month? Most of them don’t even get their names mentioned, much less a front page story on every web site in the free world. [...]

The National Anthem

by tycage @ Sunday, February 15th, 2004. Filed under Rants

So we were watching the start of the Daytona 500 just now. The National Anthem was being sung and George W. Bush was in attendence to give the command to start engines.
I was shocked to see that the President of the United States of America didn’t feel he needed to stand quietly with his [...]

Stupid Video Game Articles

by tycage @ Saturday, January 3rd, 2004. Filed under Games, Rants

This article in the New York Post really pisses me off. Lots of places have commented on the stupidity of the whole article.
It appears that, as usual, parents aren’t the ones that are responsible for controling what kids are playing. Not only that, but the fact that the game has you doing things [...]

Stupid Headlines

by tycage @ Tuesday, December 30th, 2003. Filed under Rants

This is why I hate news headlines. The first sentence of the story contridicts the headline.
Headline: “Woman ticketed for appearing naked on Internet”
First Sentence: “It wasn’t the fact that Melissa J. Harrington appeared naked on the Internet that got her in trouble with police.”
So which is it?

Zero Tolerance

by tycage @ Thursday, October 9th, 2003. Filed under Rants

Read a story about kid who shared his inhaler with his girlfriend today. They both are on the same medication, but the girlfriend forgot her inhaler that day. She had an asthma attack, so he let her use his.
Now he has been suspended from school and could be sent to juvenile detention on [...]

Parent Licences

by tycage @ Tuesday, September 30th, 2003. Filed under News, Rants

It amazes me that some people are allowed to have children.
Exactly how stupid do you have to be to go to prison and not tell anyone that your kid is at home alone? I would think breathing would be too much of a strain on this person’s mind for her to have made it [...]
