Viagra regs paired with abortion rules
Virginia state Sen. Janet D. Howell (D-Fairfax) doesn’t think much of a bill that would require women to have an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion.
When the proposed legislation came up for a preliminary vote in the Senate Monday, Howell offered a floor amendment that just about floored her colleagues.
“Prior to prescribing medication for erectile dysfunction, a physician shall perform a digital rectal examination and a cardiac stress test,” Howell said, reading the amendment aloud. “Informed consent for these procedures shall be given at least 24 hours before the procedures are performed.
“I just think we should have a little gender equity here,” Howell added.
The amendment failed, though not by much, in a 19-21 vote.
Please make this happen.

Good thing I can literally do my job with my eyes closed. I had to find a sunny spot in the lobby for lunch so I won’t sleep through the rest of the day. 7 AM to PM blows.

I finally got around to watching “The Wire” today and I don’t really see what all the hype was about; like sure, Garak is cool and all but I didn’t realize Baltimore was so strange looking…

Turbo Tax
They might promise to help you get the biggest refund but they sure as fuck don’t tell you if you qualify for the “freedom edition” which is a totally free (including MN state!) edition for people that make $31,000 or less.
Thought I’d let you know, in case you aren’t Mitt Romney.

“Apple’s an example of why it’s so hard to create middle-class jobs in the U.S. now,” said Jared Bernstein, who until last year was an economic adviser to the White House.
“If it’s the pinnacle of capitalism, we should be worried.”
Apple executives say that going overseas, at this point, is their only option. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves. Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.
A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.
“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”

My name is Steve and basically I'm a huge nerd. Somewhere along the way I crossed the line from ironic to heartfelt but I think that's ok.
