Reflections From a Murky Pond

The paucity of women in the IT sector of the workplace hit the news again recently when Michael Arrington from TechCrunch posted an article asking women to stop blaming the men for that stark gender disparity. As expected, Feminists came out of the woodwork to “comment” on the article and verbally assault the regular patrons of the site.

Mr. Arrington is very, very right; women shouldn’t blame men – at least the men in IT – for the fact that there are few women in the various technology fields. We want more women in IT!

The morale boost and improvement to the work atmosphere alone makes having more women it IT something that we crave.

Nice Racks! We Do So Need More Women In IT

That would be a damn sight – literally – better than the ugly, ugly truth of life and lifeforms in the data center.

Reality Is Often Unpleasant, Especially In IT

So please, ladies – and you Feminists too – don’t blame the men in IT for you’re not being well-represented in technology fields. We want you!

As it stands now, we’re so isolated from women that many IT types who read this post will likely look at the beautiful, half-naked women in the first set of images for a moment and then go on study in-depth and comment upon the actual racks, cable management, and using FreeBSD vs other operating systems They will likely even notice whether or not the ladies are wearing anti-static clips and cables.

Yeah, it’s that bad!

As far too many people know and, for reasons that defy logic, seem to care, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have divorced after the world found out that Tiger had cheated on her with a laundry list of men and women.

Apparently Elin Nordegren had a problem with being married to a serial pervert.

Of course, one of society’s biggest “concerns” was what the divorce settlement would be. So far there are no firm details about how much Tiger is actually going to end up paying for the skanks, whores, and “male escorts” he frequented for years, but some rumors are available.

From the Onion Sports Network:

Former super-couple Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are making it official with one of the highest-profile divorces in sports. Here’s how it will work:

• Couple will evenly split 8-foot-tall pile of money in the spare bedroom
• Joint custody of the caddy
• Woods required to hire cleaning company to remove skank juice from living room carpeting
• Elin is entitled to half of Tiger’s collection of strap-ons, double dildos, leather handcuffs, feather ticklers, nipple clamps, vibrating cock rings, pleasure wands, Fleshlights, anal plugs, cock slings, and Rim Raiders
• Tiger Woods will keep all of the $178 million in cash he stashed in an offshore account in anticipation of just this sort of thing
• Couple will have shared custody of the children, with Woods seeing them every other decade
• Tiger gets the couple’s Ford Festiva
• Elin is now the face of Gillette Mach 3 razors

I really don’t have any sympathy for Elin Nordegren though; she had to know that this sort of behavior by Tiger was unavoidable. The brutha golfed! A Hole in One was bound to turn into “a hole in dat one, and dat one, and dat one … Damn! I gots to get me into all of ‘em holes.”

This is how I feel about the state of the government most times these days. It’s funny and depressing at the same time.

Are We There Yet? Is It November Yet?

Can we just get to the 2010 Congressional Midterm Elections, kick these jackasses out of office, and maybe, just maybe, get on with the business of restoring some measure or vestige of sanity to America?
