LOL WUT?

So today I tried to check my uky.edu e-mail because, quite frankly, I hadn't in almost a month. But I had to change my password, which now has to: be 8 characters, have a number, an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a non-alphanumerical character...something old, something borrowed -- seriously? Not only that, but I have to change this bad mother every 90 days. I get it -- I should protect my password. But here's the thing -- you've now made it impossible for me to remember the monstrosity. Yeah, before I just stored it tattoo'd on my cortex (a la Ken Record) but now I find myself storing it in documents on my desktop, written on skittles wrappers in my desk drawer, etc -- way to make me less secure with your overkill UK IT.

Yesterday I saw an ad for a, I kid you not, Erectile Dysfunction Clinic. I'll let you take a moment to soak that in. It takes a "clinic" for a doctor to treat one condition with one drug? And don't give me that horseshit that there's Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra -- they all do the same exact thing with relatively the same rates of success. Why not call it what it really is "Boner-Doctor with Rx pad." I'll venture a guess that the guy that opened this had to be a relatively interesting guy. Over $100,000 in student loans and 8 years total of a college education, including 4 years of professional school with the only light at the end of the tunnel being his very own little sterile white room where he can write "Viagra 1 q prn BONAR LOL" ad nauseum. Who's playing the odds that this guy wasn't the top of his class at the Clown College Medical School?

Current events (yes, this is from a Fark.com headline):

Joining the ranks of states without budgets, Pennsylvania announces it has frozen all state employee paychecks. Bonus: Effective two weeks ago

Someone found that tucked away neatly on CNN Money, but don't expect to see it on air on any of the three big 24 hour news networks. What are they covering? Michael Jackson's Ex's lawsuit, Nelson Mandela's birthday, and the death of Walter Cronkite. So Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendel screws 69,000 state workers and doesn't garner a mention on any news network...Good thing he didn't screw an Argentinian.

Awesome:
