You know who else had birthday cakes that said “Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler”?
You know who else was named Adolf Hitler?
You know who else had a Nazi father?
And who names their kids Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie?

Governor Blagojebitch (D-umbass) arrested on federal corruption charges, approval rating improves to 8% from 4%

Who are these people, and why haven’t they been removed from the gene pool yet? Seriously, this man just got caught trying to sell a vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder. It doesn’t get much more corrupt than that in my opinion.

Former Confederate general, Sears sued for 2.7 million dollars over makeshift masturbatorium

What the hell was Robert E. Lee thinking?

After Lee surrendered to Henrico Police, investigators discovered the Sears manager had created a makeshift masturbatorium from a service platform just above the ladies’ dressing rooms.

It appeared to investigators that the prefab peeping hutch had been in use for quite some time, the victim’s lawsuit alleges, and that Lee admitted to watching the girl and her mother trying on bathing suits.

“During the search of the room, police officials recovered sexually explicit magazines and seminal fluids,” the suit says.

While I think the damages the plaintiffs are seeking are somewhat excessive, Robert E. Lee shouldn’t be allowed to work at a clothing store ever again.

Idiot blocks Firefox, Firefox users tell idiot to take his site and shove it.

Some idiot and possible Microsoft shill set up a website at whyfirefoxisblocked.com (WARNING 509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded) explaining that he had to block popular open-source web browser Mozilla Firefox because of the popular Adblock extension, and gave some horribly misleading and incorrect legal reasons that adblock is illegal. I believe that, while a webmaster is certainly welcome to block users that he/she believes are blocking ads, such a measure is counterproductive due to the backlash that might occur and the ease with which a user can work around such a measure. In addition, any site that does this sort of thing probably believes that content is what you put between all the ads.

Windows 2000 and Windows ME both suck?

Why don’t any of your laptops run Windows ME or 2000?

To make a long story short – because they’re inferior operating systems. Microsoft released Windows ME prematurely and as a result, the operating system had tons and tons of problems and bugs. To combat this, Microsoft then released a revised version of ME that it called Windows 2000. Windows 2000 is the same operating system as ME, just fixed up a bit. Honestly though, they both just suck. The system itself is unstable and unreliable – which is why Microsoft worked around the clock to produce Windows XP so quickly afterward (2001). We choose not to install Windows ME or 2000 because of these problems.
