FiOS Turns 1

Verizon FiOS TV turned one year old today. I’m a happy subscriber to FiOS internet, and will be dumping Comcast the second FiOS TV is available in my area.

Jack Ass Sues

Some things you can’t make up (courtesy of The Smoking Gun):

If you thought David Gest was the only ass to recently sue Viacom, think again. A Montana man named Jack Ass has sued MTV’s parent company, accusing the music channel of “plagiarizing” and “defaming” his good name in connection with the show “Jackass.” The 44-year-old Ass, who legally changed his name from Bob Craft in 1997, is seeking at least $10 million from Viacom, which Ass contends is “liable for injury to a reputation I have built and defamation of character I have created.” Below is the pro se complaint Ass filed on November 29 in Montana’s District Court.

The irony in that statement: “…liable for injury to a reputation I have built…” What kind of reputation could a guy who legally changes his name to Jack Ass possibly have other than a poor one? This country is going straight down the crapper.

Security measures loosen a bit

Looks like the FAA is lessening the security measures taken after the London attempts last month.  This is good news for me, who will be flying to Chicago in about two weeks.

Ahh

Come on in and enjoy the cool evening breezes of Anytown, U…er…I mean, WordPress!

What a weekend…
