1. It’s pronounced “greazy”.
2. Comment on this post with a topic that grinds your gears – something you really want to rant about but just don’t have the bitching skills necessary to do it justice.
3. The rules are simple – if your comment clearly demonstrates you aren’t an emmeffing spam bot, I will research your topic and rant about it for you, right here in the pages of Fishwrap. If you’re lucky I might even have hard copies printed on actual used fishwrap for ya.
This damn thing is an ongoing offer because you folks seem too chicken to post comments, so feel free to add your request at any time.
Happy ranting.

Childhood obesity is idiotic, lazy parents who are fat-asses themselves.
Childhood obesity is unethical American consumer packaged goods companies marketing plastic shavings from China as “food”.
Childhood obesity is overprotective idiotic fucks who won’t let their children play sports because they might break a finger, but ballooning up to a size where your pancreas fails when you’re 12 is a-ok.
Measles is a fucking epidemic. Being fat is fat.

Well, some dickhead took advantage of my extended time away (I was on a tour for my new book about handling conflict – I’m going to hit you in the face with this f@cking book!) and hacked into my account, created an administrative password, and a bunch of cloaked pages filled with bullshit.
Lesson 1: Update your WordPress regularly, folks, and weed out, hunt down, and beat the crap out of hackers. Preferably with my new book, I’m going to hit you in the face with this f@cking book!
Lesson 2: The world needs the Fishwrapper. So I’m back, bitches. There are simply too many shitheel douchebags out there that need to be harassed for me to be absent. (Speaking of which, if anyone wants this hacker’s IP address, just ask.)
Love and cuddles!

I got my hair cut the other day. It’s a great haircut because my stylist took two hours to do it. Really, you should check it out.
One of the reasons I got so much extra time under the snip-snips was because my stylist was ranting at length about the evil health insurance companies that our brilliant politicians and their bang-up health care reform bill are going to protect us from. I kept trying to convince her that the drug companies are the ones that need some knuckling, not the insurance companies…and that a system that pays doctors based on the quantity of “care” (would you like 17 x-rays with your order of the super-sized blood test today, ma’am) instead of the quality (like actually healing patients) is where the spiraling costs of care are coming from.

The blog has been down for a while, as you may have seen if anyone reads this thing…
This is due to Lunarpages, which now is having trouble with people hacking into their servers and deleting files, OR with their own system replacing files with emptiness (i.e, 0k empty files), which is not my idea of zen by any means.
Fishwrap is now with a new hosting company, and again I cannot urge strongly enough that nobody use Lunarpages for hosting. They are simply terrible. Once great, now sad. This is what happens when you move your server farm somewhere and start having lower-order animals run it.

Not that anyone possibly cares or thinks about the truths I spout forth here like chunks of the wisest projectile vomit, but if you do, Australian satirists Clarke and Dawe are here to tell you why you shouldn’t, in this video.

Reading the recent Congressional Budget Office analysis of the proposed federal budget, two things become immediately clear. First, the Obama administration – while nowhere near as guilty as the Bush administration – is padding budget assumptions in order to make new government spending look cheaper than it actually will be. The second is that the deficit and ever-increasing national debt have become so huge that it’s difficult to understand what the numbers even mean.
It’s important to wrap our feeble brains around them, though, because underestimating budget deficits by $2.3 trillion, or causing debt to rise by $9.8 trillion, may seem like numbers you’d hear about a country like Zimbabwe, increasing debt has real effects on Americans. And numbers this high will have substantial, noticeable effects on you.
