Jitterbug Cell Phone For Older People…Seriously?
I get the fact that there is a big demographic of seniors that may not be reached by the majority of mobile phone services. But I don’t think this commercial sends that message. To me, this is borderline insulting to older people. Watch it first, and let me know what impression it makes on you. [...]
White-ity White
HT to Coma for introducing me to Stuff White People Like. After spending a little time here, I’ve discovered I’m a lot whiter than I thought I was, especially with this timely post on The Wire. Check it out…lots of funny stuff. It’s definitely one that will stay in the feed reader.
Time For SNL To Get Beat Down By the Hansons
A couple of weeks ago I watched Saturday Night Live for the first time in a long time. It was the first show after the writers’ strike ended, and Tina Fey was hosting. It was one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen. I didn’t get to see last week’s episode, but I started watching [...]
Dream Ticket? Whose Dream Is This?
When MLK said that he had a dream that little black boys and little white girls would one day hold hands run on a presidential ticket together, is this what he had in mind? If so, we should stop referring to him as a civil rights leader and change his title to Republican strategist. Hillary [...]
The Wire Rules The World
Hat tip to Reason for this one, very funny. It seems like David Simon’s former boss is now taking his cues from the show. I’m sad this show is ending, but I’m glad we can finally cancel HBO after the series finale.
So It’s Not Just Me
Back before anyone read this blog *wink, cough*, I wrote a fairly snarky post about the absolutely ridiculous commercials for Yaz and Viva Viagra. It seems I’m finally vindicated, as NewsComa is equally creeped out by the Viagra commercial. Every now and then I make a mistake that seems fairly common among bloggers. I come up [...]
“Died In A Blogging Accident”
At one time it was the 6th most searched for term on Google today…now it’s fallen like a stone down to 54th. All because of this cartoon.  I told you guys XKCD rocks! Hat tip to Jacob the Newbie, who still hasn’t started a blog or else I’d have linked to him.
It’s Not A National I.D.
It’s a Federal Driver’s License. You recognize the difference, right? No? The rationalization for this plan, of course, is the same as that for any authoritarian program…a centrally mandated, controlled, and issued driver’s license will make it more difficult for con artists, drug traffickers, illegal immigrants, or terrorists to gain access to identification that could [...]
About THE Ron Paul Article
The article that appeared today in The New Republic was, of course, designed to be a hit piece–do maximum damage on an important day. Having said that… It’s pretty obvious after reading that newsletters that Ron Paul is telling the truth when he says he didn’t write it. It’s funny, but I worked with a [...]
The Pilot Announced…
the plane was going to crash. They were headed for sure doom. A lady stood up and said, “Before we crash, is there any man on this plane that can make me feel like a real woman one last time?” A man promptly removed his shirt and said, “Here, iron this.” I just thought I’d [...]
