Dan Rather

First we had rathergate, the forged Killian documents. Who DID write those? CBS won’t say. After being outed embarassingly, Rather STILL thinks the story is true. Now, we have rathergate redux, the draft. There’s the cached version of the story. All we know about Ms. Cocco is she has protected kids her whole life. The altered version now on CBS… (more…)

Photographs that Changed the World

I’ve been harsh on media, mostly for it’s editorial content, for several years. However, you can’t deny its impact, especially in the “Information Age“. Some photos actually influenced the world. Life magazine is running an issue of 100 Pictures that changed the World. Their abbreviated version features some heavy hitters, I’m not sure which had the greatest impact, but this… (more…)

My Blog Owns Me

My friend Hedonistix talked me into doing something I knew I shouldn’t, take a test to see if my weblog owns me. This is how I scored: 50 % My weblog owns 50 % of me.Does your weblog own you? I scored higher than anyone else I know so far. Not good. However, my life situation right now keeps me… (more…)

2004 Hurricane Season

This year has been brutal. The tally, final I hope, looks like this: Charley: 36 Frances: 35 Gaston: 8 ( Tropical storm, but part of the season ) Ivan: 115 and Jeanne: 1,537 I made a little graph: Come on, people, we need to help Haiti. The place was in bad enough shape before all this.

The Art of Art

We have been discussing the art culture on The Fool. I’m not going to push people to the Fool on this one, as it’s a haughty dialogue not usually seen during our beer discussions. However, the discussion has turned to the art culture. So, I thought I’d chime in with my thoughts: The biggest problem is the art culture, not… (more…)

Football Baby

Yesterday I had the kid pretty much all to myself during a very critical time, 1pm-7pm. Prime time for football. During that time, he learned to say foobah ( proper pronunciation in this area ), and, more importantly, learned to squeal loudly and pounce on a ball when it’s rolling on the ground. I’m a proud papa for sure! Only… (more…)

Taking out the garbage

Over the last few days, Brendan has learned a new trick. No matter what room he’s in, if you hand him something and tell him to put it in the garbage, he gets this look on his face like you’ve told him to do something really, really important, takes it, runs as fast as he can, puts it in the… (more…)

Shut Up and Sing

The Boss isn’t taking any prisoners when it comes to Bush-bashing, and some of his fans don’t like it. Another said ticket sales are suffering on the upcoming pro-Kerry tour. “NO ONE wants to hear Bruce talk politics – it’s as simple as that,” the fan wrote. How many entertainers have to alienate a good portion of their fan base… (more…)

I’m world wide

These are the countries represented by visitors here: Pretty cool huh?

Looks like a boy again

From the day Brendan was born, Mindy refused to cut his hair. The comment of “What a beautiful BOY!” more commonly became “What a beautiful……boy?”. I couldn’t take it any longer. Yesterday we cut his hair. “He’s a beautiful BOY!” again.
