I saw this unbelievable story on Digg and it happens to be in Charlotte. Time Warner Charges You $0.23 For The Coupons Included In Your BillI’m a Time Warner customer in Charlotte, NC and recently got my August bill. Looking over it as usual, there is a new fee “ADHSN Fee” of 23 cents. I [...]
Happy Independence Day, 2007. Once again, not “Happy 4th of July”. I have off from work today and right before I wrote this post I walked out into the street in front of my house and counted how many American flags I could see around the neighborhood. I could see 21 houses and only one [...]
So Boston was nearly shut down yesterday with perceived threat of a city-wide terrorist bomb scare. Bridges, tunnels, and subways were shut down, homeland security was put on alert, and the media went wall-to-wall with non-stop coverage. As it turns out, the suspicious objects turned out to be harmless electronic advertising displays for a show [...]
This is just sickening. A video game was recently released in which the objective of the game is to convert or kill non-Christians. All characters in “Left Behind: Eternal Forces” are divided into two sides, Christians (the good guys) and non-Christians (the evil forces who must be eliminated).

Nobody can deny that the Simpsons have been going downhill for years but I refused to believe that it had actually jumped the shark. The shark has been jumped.

Happy Independence Day to everybody. Please note I’m wishing you a happy “Independence Day” and not a happy “4th of July”. Despite what you’ve become accustomed to, the holiday is not officially called “The 4th of July”. Sure it happens to falls on the 4th day of July but on New Years’ Day do you [...]
This week the Charlotte Department of Transportation released compelling video of three collisions that occurred within one month’s time at one particular intersection in Uptown Charlotte. They claim that there were zero collisions at this interection the previous eight months, during which time there were red-light cameras in operation. CDOT goes on to claim that [...]
A few months after dropping my business card in a contest bowl, I was sent an email coupon from Jersey Mike’s. I like Jersey Mike’s subs so I printed out the coupon and tried to use it. They told me that they do accept that coupon but not if it’s a print out. What!? They [...]
Attention everyone in my neighborhood: Stop with the fireworks already! I like fireworks too, but ten straight days is way too much! Being that Independence Day fell on a Wednesday, people started on Friday June 29th and they are still keeping Maegan awake at 10pm on Sunday July 8th.
