As my 23rd birthday approached, several people asked me what I’d like to get. I understand that my unusual intellectual persuasions make finding a suitable present somewhat difficult, especially for my family. So, purely out of an altruistic concern for easing your present-searching efforts, I spent several hours laboring to create an Amazon.com wish list of the books and gadgets I’d like to get.

I also made a list of my favorite novels and non-fiction books, sorted by my recommended reading order for anyone interested in reaching my level of intellectual nirvana 🙂 It’s not meant to be a definite guide by any means, just a list of what I consider essential reading for any rational, well-rounded, new intellectual geek.

Disney joins forces with pro-fish activists: “Fish are friends, not food!”
My favorite part:

What about Jesus and the fish? Didn’t Jesus eat fish?
Probably not: There is strong evidence suggesting that Jesus was a vegetarian. The only stories depicting Jesus eating fish took place after the resurrection, and most Biblical scholars agree that they are very late additions to the Gospels. The scribes who added the stories were not, apparently, averse to eating fish. But since this is the only depiction anywhere in the Gospels of Jesus eating any animals at all, it seems that he was a vegetarian.

I’m too lazy to write a blog today, so go read someone else’s rantings:
Fixed Earth.com: “The earth is not moving: over 400 years of deception exposed! The Bible told the truth all along! ”
Allah is in Da House: “Your Jew mind-reading powers are strong indeed, tasty infidel.”

Getting ready for class this morning, I considered dressing up for the today’s business fair. I was about to put on my Sunday best when I happened to glance at the window and saw a torrential flood coming down outside. I suddenly felt very fortunate that I could be completely ignorant of the nasty weather outside while in my home. Unfortunately, I still had to walk a mile to class, and as I got completely soaked while walking barefoot across campus, I thanked the gods of industry that I didn’t have to freeze to death in some leaky shack or cave every time it rained as those damn “back to nature” environmentalists would have us do. Admittedly, I enjoyed walking barefoot across the flooded grass on campus, but only because I knew that I had clean and warm clothes waiting for me at home.

Environmentalists are trying to ban the Navy from using sonar because it’s – get this – causing whales to die from the bends. There is no connection between the crucial tool of many naval vessels and whale death, but that didn’t stop environmental groups from protesting tests (which are costing the taxpayers $9 million) done in response to their claims.
While there is evidence that certain rare types of sonar harm marine life in close proximity, it is absolutely ridiculous to demand that our military give up a key part of our national defense for a few whales, and then protest tests done to verify those claims. This is just one example of how enviro-whackos don’t care for the facts, humans, or even whales, but merely want to destroy civilization – by wiping out the technology that makes it possible.

Cool shirts from Cox and Forkum: Bring ‘Em On, Allah

Normally, firing someone is anything but a pleasant task, but…

Used to the usual criticism from the White House whenever Israel took any steps to defend itself, I was surprised when Bush finally said something right.

What they hell are they thinking giving that pathetic, ignorant, lying, traitorous, drunken commie who recently accused our president of “fraud” and “bribery” a “George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service“??? Pathetic!

Update: Here is an editorial from the Wash Times. Nicholas at The Rule of Reason comments:

If we are defined by our heroes, one has to wonder what kind of man George H.W. really is to feel the need to honor Teddy Kennedy with his namesake award. Not one who cares about principles, it would seem.
