Christian Bale is a jerk... but that isn't the whole story.So Christian Bale unloaded on the director of photography on his latest film:Bale flips outCould that have gone any worse for everyone?

I have a question: what the fuck for?ESPN.com: Reeves to interview with 49ersDan Reeves as the Niner offensive coordinator? Christ All Fucking Mighty, why? Why would you hire a retread coach who has a history of not being able to get along with a team's stars? John Elway, anyone? Jamal Anderson, hello? He's been out of the game in any team capacity since 2003. Not been a coordinator or non-head

Decline and fall of the neoconsGood reading.According to Juan Cole, a professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Michigan and a persistent critic of the Iraq war: “Wolfowitz has demonstrated a penchant for cronyism and for smearing and marginalising perceived rivals as tactics for getting his way. Indeed, these tactics are typical of what might be called the neoconservative style.”

10 Things Your Blogger Won't Tell You...1. "Hardly anybody reads me."I KNOW no one reads me.2. "The more companies pay me, the more I like their stuff."Shit.... if I could get a company to pay me to talk about their schwag, I'd make love to their stuff.3.

So just where IS the true outrage about high gas prices?Gas is running just about $3.00 a gallon here in Palo Alto. From what I can tell, up about 50-60 cents in just the last two to three weeks.Yet I just read how gasoline consumption in this country is going to grow by another 0.4% this year.People bitch, bitch, and bitch about how gas prices are outrageous, about how we should boycott the oil

Grrrr.... some renters just don't get it..... ....I have new tenants. I hate them already.To summarize their shitty behavior so far:1. Ask us to rent them the apartment two weeks after it becomes available. Beg us to, really. We can rent it to others who will move in immediately. Fine, we'll do it, they sign the lease.2. They call back two days later: can we move in a week early? So now I have to

Do these Bush people actually believe the bullshit they spout?I mean, really. Does Rice actually believe what she apparently said?

How long should it take to bag a book?....So I'm at my local chain bookstore this morning. My daughter is with me and she's getting ansy, so when I end up at the checkout counter with my one book, I'd like to get going reasonably fast.First mistake: having that expectation.The cashier, a guy dressed like a slob in his early 20s, he took going on a minute just to bag my one, 8"x10" book.

How can this be?....................FBI agents don't all have assigned fbi.gov emails addresses by now? Even if there is money to do it, why hasn't it been done by now?

One reason why I'm not a firefighter anymore.....I was out on a bicycle ride this morning and passed by a senior assisted-living facility. Basically an apartment complex for elderly people.Anyway, a TON of fire engines and trucks converged on it while I was in the area. It reminded me of one reason why I'm not a firefighter anymore.What was going on was that there was a general fire alarm that

'We're family here!'............I hate hearing that from anyone when they're talking about a workplace or employer. It's such complete bullshit.I've worked for some real gems and some real shit employers. But they all have one thing in common: they are all called 'work'. There is a reason why they are distinct from 'home' or 'family': they aren't.Some workplaces show distinct similarities with

'Ummmmm... so that apartment is how many square feet?'...We're advertising for an apartment of ours that will be vacant soon. The Craigslist ad we have posted lists the usual: square feet, # of bedrooms/bathrooms, amount of rent, date it'll be available, etc.People can't read. It's really true.

The bullshit with and about bicyclists...So for the whatever time in my life, a dipshit motorist didn't bother to look, pulled away from the curb, and cut me off, almost running me over.He eventually saw me in his rear-view mirror, pulled over, rolled down his window, and shouted an apology as I passed. I didn't say anything back, I was still too pissed about seeing my life flash before my eyes

What a surprise......So this former high-level Bush administration official has been arrested for trying out a dip-shit shoplifting scam on Target. And the president is 'shocked'.I'm sure he is. If it were the Vice President, that'd be one thing because laws literally don't apply to him. But an administration official who has the time or is 'lowly' enough to even have to shop at Target (you don't

So no irate towed-car owner.... yet....Strange, no one has called on me to inquire about their car being towed last night from our apartment complex. I'm beginning to think that maybe the owner was smart enough to realize that, gee, it was towed because I had illegally parked it on private property.Actually, one tenant of mine said she recognized it as a vehicle that has been parked at the

So I had to have someone's car towed tonight....I knew that at some point in my illustrious apartment managing career that I'd have to do it. And it scares the crap out of me.It's a typical scenario: someone parked his SUV in a tenant's assigned spot. She catches up to me and rightfully wants something done. I do my due diligence: go around to EACH tenant and see if they own it or know who does.

What I don't understand about Islam is......... why it gets such a bad rap compared to Christianity? Or why it gets tied to what crazies do in its name while Christian shitheads who do what they do in god's name get a free pass.I mean, there are crazies who say they practice Islam and do the crazy things they do in the name of Muhammad and/or Islam. But they aren't true Muslims. They are people

WHY do people on BART do that?OK, so why do so many BART riders switch train cars? I mean, it seems like every ride on shitty BART that I take, at least a half-dozen people move between cars. It isn't as if the cars are so full you can't find a seat in any of them, they are all about equally full on most trains from what I can see.So what's the attraction of one car over another?

We had to run it out here so we weren't doing back ups of our remote locations over the wire.

A GREAT substitute for iTunes: ml_iPodSo I found a great substitute for that piece-of-shit application called iTunes. It's called the WinAmp iPod plugin (aka ml_iPod). When coupled with WinAmp (a really great free music player app), it does everything you want iTunes to do except fuck up your iPod or your iPod settings.The only unfortunate thing is that you can't subscribe to podcasts through (

I'm against the death penalty, period. No exceptions. That doesn't mean that I think those who are sentenced to death are generally swell folk, that they somehow are usually anything but evil people.But you can't take back putting someone to death and we have already almost certainly put innocent people to death. That's reason enough to stop.So this guy is on death row for shooting a cop in what
