Right now, on Pelosi’s website, she is proclaiming to the world that there is 5 days, 8 hours, and 36 minutes until the “first minimum wage increase in 10 years.” Right now, the Federal Minimum Wage is $5.15. The only people really making minimum wage are teenagers working at Burger King and food servers, but their paychecks pay all the taxes from their tips. Great, Ms. Pelosi. Where will the extra money come from to pay the burger slingers? From the consumers who buy. It sure as hell isn’t going to come out of the owner’s pocket. The establishment isn’t going to pay the power company less.

“I can’t pay you your full bill this month because I need to pay my employees more.” Right.

“We’ll shut off your power so you can’t make any money this month.” Then, there’s no power taxes collected, no federal wage taxes withheld, state wage taxes withheld, no social security taxes withheld,no sales taxes collected, no telephone taxes collected, no taxes from the carbon dioxide company, no grease company service taxes, no taxes collected during the transportation of the raw meat, vegetables, buns, soda syrup, and no sewer taxes collected.

So the money that will pay for the wage increase will come from the consumers. You and me. Us. Rates for goods and services will follow a minimum rate increase. Because of this, buying power decreases after a minimum wage adjustment. Check to see if McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger remains on the dollar menu in a month. After the minimum wage increases, and rates increase so the owner keeps making the same, so our buying power decreases.

Imagine the minimum wage earners. They’re now making more, but they have more tax dollars withheld. They can’t buy as much, so they go hungry. They can’t apply for food stamps, because now they’re making too much.

The whole thing is an evil hippie conspiracy to keep people down. However, 39 states have minimum wages higher than Federal, so increasing the minimum wage does little across the board. However, the increases keep coming, and my dollar keeps shrinking.

Great, Nancy! BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE!

Don Reisinger writes that Windows should be open source. It will probably never happen, but it’s nice to dream.

Actually, most people and the government agree that Microsoft’s operating system is a monopoly. Monopolies collapse by one of two things: Government Action or Technology. Government action allowed more browsers on the windows box by “detatching” Internet Explorer from the operating system. Great. Whoopie.

Technology is the only real threat to the Microsoft machine. Apple hasn’t made a dent in the business world. Linux hasn’t made a dent in the business world. The home users and computer geeks make a big stink about it, though. What can be done? Thanks for asking.

The Solution to Microsoft and Open Source: The Redmond team puts together a team and a task. Create, compeltely from scratch the next (or the one after that) Windows Operating System. It will be built around security, and 100% compatible with existing versions of Office and open sourced versions of Windows API header files (windows.h). Once this is completed, perfected and scoured for security by a third party security company, it can be released to the world as Windows TNG. Once that’s released, the source code of all prior versions of Windows (except the one that TNG is replacing) is released. Microsoft wouldn’t release it to the Public Domain, but they would probably create their own license.

In other news, today I learned from Cragislist that “Big girls can take more punishment.” I also tried to start an arguement, but who can argue with this?

TreeHugger reports a real shocker: Ethanol production is increasing the demand for corn. The pop corn industry needs to pay its growers more to keep them growing pop corn instead of the federally mandated ethanol. Since corn also feeds cattle, you have no doubt seen the prices of dairy products and beef rise. Add to that the increase fuel prices, and you have a redistribution of wealth. We’re not getting paid more, so the gasoline industry is getting more and more money.

It’s obviously an evil Hippie conspiracy to get Americans off fuel and meat. The bulk of Americans won’t be able to afford to drive, so they’ll have to take public transportation. The bulk of Americans won’t be able to eat meat, so the dangerous cattle, who do nothing but stamp the soil, create erosion and destroy the natural landscape, will dwindle down to a more managable existance.

Won’t this have the opposite effect? After all, look at private jets, sprawling estates, and limosines. They’re not owned or used by the bulk of Americans. Who owns them? The liberal elite.

• Cheryl Crow
• Al Gore
• Hillary Clinton

There you have it, an evil Hippie Conspiracy to take away the most basic needs from most Americans: travel and food. In the mean time, BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE!

I’ve taken a good look at the way that I’m living, with my hypermiling, and everything, and I have discovered that I have a couple of Carbon Credits extra. I’ll have more after the office move, since I’ll be using less fuel, about half as much as I am using to commute now. I’ll actually be using less, since the afternoon commute is much worse between the current office and the new office.

So, for that, I offer some of my Carbon Credits for sale to you, my gentle reader, at the introductory rate of $24.95, for two tonnes, yes 4,409.24524 pounds of Carbon Emissions. I’m not going to be using them. In fact, in this HOT time, I pledge that I will not use my air conditioner during the day, ensuring that my Carbon Credits remain available. I have a limited number, so get them NOW!

So first, this ear infection is still kicking my ass. I think it’s getting better, but maybe I’m just getting used to the intense pain and pressure.

Oh, get this. My prescription is 4 drops every 8 hours, which means wakeup, sleep, and in the middle of the day. So on Monday, I’m walking out to my car with the medicine. It’s in a glass vial. It slips, and I hear the distinctive clink of a glass vial striking the ground and breaking. It didn’t shatter into a gazillion pieces, it just broke, so I call the doctor to get a represcription, but the “health plan” doesn’t cover breakage or “loss.” I wonder if they’d cover it if I put shards of glass in my ear because the medicine is now mixed up with the shards. So I end up paying for a complete bottle anyway. Now we can’t eat for a week because I need my meds.

You can help purchase my meds!

So I didn’t come here today to tell you that. On Saturday, against my better judgment, we went to the Alameda County Fair. The good news is that the Advil guys were there handing out free samples. It was a hot day. Very hot. Hot enough for me to say “Thank God it’s Summer!” Unfortunately, it’s also the time that the people who shouldn’t go topless try to. Or they expose more than they should.

I have to tell you, girl. You ain’t all that, nor are you a bag of chips. What you’ve got out should be in far. Now, it’s one thing for a couple extra pounds to be sneaking out the bottom of your shirt, it’s another thing to be releasing a blob the size of a four-year old though your arm holes.

And guys, too! What is up with all the scanky 35-year old stoners riding around on the 20-inch bike that they’ve had since they were eight, with their shirts off? You know them. They ride around without a shirt, with their nasty boxers hanging out over their shorts, turning left from the car left-turn lane, whizzing through stop signs. Please, if I wanted to see a guy who shouldn’t be wearing a shirt not wearing a shirt, I’d take a shower with the lights on.

In the meantime, make sure that when you look in the mirror you’re seeing what other people see. I could go on about the ugly people who think they look good, but that’s for another time. Please, cover up. It’s called “FLAB,” not “FAB.” Then, when you get home, BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE!

Before I begin, we have a change of policy here at blowitoutyourpiehole.com. We have had a policy of not giving free advertising or links to companies, places or things that piss me off. We want to link to companies who excel. But then, I reasoned, how are you going to know where not to go? Websearching won’t bring up the thing that chapped my hide. So here it goes, the people, companies, events and what not who need to BLOW IT OUT THEIR FARGIN BASTAGE PIE HOLES will be named.

Once again, I have a severe case of otitis externa, also known as swimmer’s ear. My ear is hurting like a son of a bitch right now, and couple that with the little sleep I’ve had over the past couple days, I’m really on my last nerve.So last Saturday, I call upon this new technology to make an appointment with my “health care provider.” I clicked the link that said “make or cancel an appointment,” set up a profile, filled out my health care history, and sat back and waited until the office opened on Monday when someone would fill me in. Actually, if I had created the system, it would already know which appointments were available and put me in there right away.

So I go in Thursday, take half a day to go see the doctor. The office is in a building next to St. Rose Hospital. There aren’t enough signs, so I’m walking all around the complex looking for the building. I find it. I go to the second floor, and there are no suite numbers in the damn building. Mind you, it’s about 500° outside, and I’m walking in a giant circle for 30 minutes trying to find a building with little numbers on the side.So I get to my appointment, and they have misspelled my name, to make it sound like some little tart who spent a couple days in the Los Angeles County Prison lately. Doctor looks at my ear, and agrees with my diagnosis of otitis externa, and prescribes some Cipro HC Otic HC Otic. It sounded familiar, and I’m sure that I had been prescribed it before. They electronically faxed it over to the drug store right down the street from my home.

I wait a couple hours, since it’s the middle of the day, and all the assisted living facilities in the area need their prescriptions filled. So I run over there, and they say that they were calling me to tell me that they didn’t have any Cipro HC Otic HC Otic. Dumbasses were calling my work number. They call the other store down the street. They don’t have any either. So they call another other store, and they have the medication. I drive down there to see how long it will take, and they give the standard, “10 to 15 minutes” response. It’s the same you get when you go to a restaurant. “10 to 15 minutes.” Even if they’re empty, it’s still “10 to 15 minutes.”Since I figure I have about a half hour, I walk over to Me-n-Ed’s for a calzone. The dude takes my order, and tells me it will be “10 to 15 minutes.” According to my receipt, this is “18:42.” Twenty five minutes past seven, a guy walks over to me with a cold box.”Are you a combo calzone?”

“No, but I ordered one about an hour ago. 10 to 15 minutes, my ass.” I grabbed it and went back to the pharmacy.

The pharmacy girl takes my insurance information, punches it up on the computer. Also, at this time, I was really feeling the effects of the wearing off of the four Extra Strength Excedrin I had taken a couple hours ago.”Ok, sir,” she starts with her little girl voice. “Your Cipro HC Otic HC Otic suspension ear drops art not covered by Blue Shield, so that’s going to be $136.47.” She showed me the screen that said, “Not Covered.” After expressing my disbelief that a common antibiotic would not be covered, she said that she would call my provider in the morning to find something that is covered.

So here I am, a week later with an ear infection, running out of the excedrin, and not able to hear anything. I couldn’t go to hear Patrice Pike (as seen on TV’s Supernova) with my ache, and couldn’t go to the New Dimension Chorus rehearsal last night.

You can help purchase my meds!

In the mean time, Blue Cross Blue Shield, BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE! We need more competition in health care.

Has the ViralTag fire burned out? Since the Viral Train got started, we had an Alexa rating of “Every web page in the world has a better ranking that yours,” to the 5,217,742th best site (probably a 5,217,743 place tie). We have gone from a technorati authority of 1 to 263. We received 14 Viral comments and one other.

Our last comment was on June 25, and nothing since then. Granted, things were a little slow here while I was recreating the New Dimension Chorus website. That was the one that we removed from Xoops and switched to Drupal. Using the default Drupal template, the chorus has a really good looking site, but I digress (and stick in a back link to the Chorus site). So that took up a bunch of time.

All sorts of things pissed me off, which is really the reason for this webpage.Then, to top it all off, I forgot to press the “Publish” button, and the damn thing is stuck in the pending file. Great.
