I have never understood this

Why on fucking earth do we allow riders and amendments to bills? A bill should be concise and specific to a topic of discussion. There should be absolutely no reason to pass or not pass a bill because someone tagged on something that has absolutely nothing to do with that bill. Likewise, it should be illegal to get something passed that has not been debated upon simply because it got tagged on to a bill that everyone knew would get passed.

Really, This is News

I am now the proud owner of a PS3.

Sooooo, why is this news, you ask?

Because the last time I owned a console gaming system was....never.

That's right, I'm a gamer who has never owned a gaming system. My parents owned an Atari back in the day that got sold somewhere down the line when I started getting into computers. *coughCommodore64cough* Although at the time I was the primary player of said gaming system, I technically never owned it. Even my grandmother owned a Gameboy, and now both of the boys have Gameboys, an old Sega their father bought them, and a PS2 mini that I got for them as a gift from Santa. Here in the house we have a PS2, a PS3, and an XBox360 (but still no Wii), none of which belong to me. It has just always worked out that way. If there was a game I wanted to play I used to be able to find it in the arcade, and then later I could always find a PC version, which is still my preference - except for Katamari which MUST be played on a console. Now I just buy the game and play on one of the commune systems.

I still only bought the system so that I didn't have to figure out some way of stringing cables from my computer over to my tv so that I can watch videos from my computer. I have a PC program that talks to the PS3 and whalla!
