Fox “News” Shenanigans

Filed under: Politics — jac @ June 26, 2009 - 8:28 am

Fox “News” once again misidentifies a disgraced Republican as a Democrat:

Mark Sanford is not a Democrat

Fox News often makes this kind of mistake…

‘Ark of the Covenant’ about to be unveiled?

The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world’s most prized archaeological and spiritual artifact, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.

Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, “Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries.”

I still think the real Ark is just as likely hidden in some U.S. government warehouse…

Ubuntu Satanic Edition 666.6 (Jesus’ Jugular) Review

We’ve looked at a couple of religious based distributions such as Ubuntu: Christian Edition and Ubuntu: Muslim Edition. But there’s another version of Ubuntu…a dark and evil one. A version so hideous and so terrible that it’s name is only spoken in whispers among Linux users…

Cable Break-In Service

The inconvenience of cable break-in:

Brand new cables require up to 400 hours to properly settle down sonically. This is a great inconvenience, requiring time and effort, as well as hours spent on your equipment before you can enjoy the full sonic potential of the cables you purchased. If you have tube equipment, this will also waste precious hours of tube life.

The biggest problem is how to break-in speaker cables. It is necessary to run your power amplifier while at the same time playing the speakers loud, so that break-in can occur. This can be a great inconvenience to your ears as well as the family.

The solution! Introducing the Morrow Audio cable break-in service:

We provide, at a very reasonable price, a break-in service where we will break-in your cables for you. With this service you can avoid the “difficult to listen to” stage of break-in, providing a way for you to fully enjoy your cables once received.

If people are really stupid enough to pay to have their audio cables broken in, then I’m in the wrong business…
