The Poll is Off — Evel Knievel Dead
My latest poll allowed readers to choose Evel Knievel as the biggest jerk, and now I feel really bad about it. Evel Knievel died today at the age of 69. A sad day. Over his career, Knievel was said to have broken practically every bone in his body — some multiple times. With his red-white-and-blue [...]
Offending Every Garden Tool
 Australian Santas can’t say “ho ho ho” anymore. Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say “ha ha ha” instead, the Daily Telegraph reported. This is more than a free speech issue. It’s borderline thought police. It someone may think that the word “ho” means “whore”, it can’t be said. It reminds me of a few years ago [...]
Who Really Posted The Photos?
Driving in to work this morning, I heard Melinda England’s boyfriend, Josh Pinkinton (sp?) in an interview with Hallerin Hilton Hill. According to him, the photos of the Inskip Elementary School teacher weren’t posted on her MySpace page, but on his page. He also claimes that England’s ex-husband is the person who contacted the media [...]
America’s Next Top Televangelist
Why doesn’t this reality show exist? It would be perfect for CBS Sunday nights, right after 60 Minutes. Of course, you’d have to wait until football season is over. Let the competitors give both prepared and spontaneous sermons on a variety of subjects. Instead of competing for dollars, they could compete for souls. Seriously, why [...]
Ron Paul in Nashville
By all accounts it was a really exciting time yesterday. According to this report, organizers had to turn people away the door. Cool!!! [youtube zNyPpBPLtV0]
The Other Side of Ron Paul’s Fundraising
Ron Paul’s raising over $1.2M in a week is well documented all over the web. While it is incredibly impressive, there is another side of this equation that is equally important. Despite raising somewhere in the neighborhood of $3M this quarter and $6M so far this year, Ron Paul is still campaigning on a shoestring [...]
New Feed Subscriptions in September
Here are all of the new sites I added to my reader in September. When I say “new” I mean new to me in most cases. Total Diatribe If you were impressed with Billymacs ability to consume adult beverages, you’ll be even more impressed with his ability to find nutty stuff and add cleverly biting [...]
Gimme Less
I just saw Britney’s performance on the VMAs. Normally I wouldn’t care, but you never know what this train will be leaving the tracks, so you have to pay attention if you want to see it wreck. The name of the song is “Gimme More”. I think she wrote it about cheesecake.
The Fox Infotainment Channel and Why Don’t We Bomb Korea?
I’m out of town for the next few days visiting the in-family, so I haven’t been online (as much), Fox News has been on all day. You’ll never believe this–I haven’t seen any news yet! Nothing on the Patriot Act ruling. The one piece of information that I would possibly consider news that they’ve shown [...]
Damn You Scrubs
I tried it once, just a taste, a few years ago. I got just enough of it to know that it was something I should stay away from. I could feel those inner voids that had been present in the years since Seinfeld went off the air being filled just a little, and I knew [...]
