another article on the homophobe IU professor and his weblog....sorry, even though he's an employee of the school and probably shouldn't say stuff like that, i don't think the school should take away his right to do so...i'd certainly agree with the idea that IU's got a right to put a disclaimer on any website saying they don't necessarily speak for the school, but to censor the guy isn't cool, no matter how deplorable and idiotic his comments might be.

"Rasmusen said he keeps the site -- not so much for others to read, but as a journal to record his thoughts." - that, i think, is a crock of shit though - if he wasn't intending for it to be read by people, there are lots of ways to do that without publishing it on your employers' web space, for christ's sake...

a little personal note to Julie Millam, of the "Montana Family Coalition" - you're a CUNT.

ya don't like queer eye for the straight guy? fine, don't watch it.

your comment about reality tv for gays is inappropriate though:

"To me, that's not a reality show about gay people," said Julie Millam, who said she watched clips from the show. "A really good reality show for gay people would be five gay men dying of AIDS."

Opus is returning!

ha ha ha, seems this dave barry article about telemarketers has caused an uproar - ol' dave published the American Teleservices Association's toll-free phone number (that's 1-877-779-3974) and encouraged people to call and tell the telemarketers what they think...

so ... "The article generated thousands of phone calls to the ATA number, said Tim Searcy, ATA executive director. As a result, the association switched the number, which it formerly answered live, to a voice recording. The recording advises callers that the organization is unable to take the call because of "overwhelming positive response to recent media" and asks that they leave a message. "

farkers are talking about continuing the phone campaign to the telemarketers - methinks they'll be changing their phone number in the very near future...

they're labeling it a "prank" by dave barry - i don't think they understand how freaking ANNOYING it is to get 24890 unsolicited phone calls for crap you don't want at all hours of the day. i dunno, i might be a bit more annoyed at it than other people, simply because i sleep during the day and it's amazing how many stupid calls are made at 1 in the afternoon (ugh, can we also get these freaking landscape people to quit knocking on the door asking if we'd like the stumps in our front yard removed??)

hrmmm, wonder which bartender at which bar this is at bitterwaitress.com - "indyboy101" seems to have some delusions of grandeur...yes, leaving a good tip is the right thing to do, but it sounds like this person's got a little too much attitude...

VNS Update - saw Dr. Mohan today, had to see him after having a seizure last week and the couple the week before that. since it wasn't a thursday appointment, i had to go see him all the way up at st. vincent's - they don't seem as familiar with the VNS stuff there, for some reason. doc upped my keppra dosage as well as upping the VNS zappage - now it's 1.0 with the magnet zapping it at 1.25. i can definitely feel it going off, a sharp pain in my left ear every 5 minutes. i know it'll become less noticable as time goes by, but it's annoying as hell right now.

woah, even fark's lit up about o'bannon's cerebral hemorrhage - what a major bummer. hope the guy pulls through okay

IU professor keeps anti-gay Web log - hmmm, apparently indiana university economics professor Eric Rasmusen doesn't like the homos and feels the need to mention it in his workplace weblog...i don't agree with the people that have tried to get this man's opinions removed - hey, he's an asshole, he should be totally free to express that. taking away his right to express his opinions, as stupid as they may be, isn't cool.
