Man with a Hammer

Today, or at least starting today, I am building one of these: Yes, I am.  In the usual display of not being anxious to get it done, Mrs. Moon pointed out to me first thing this morning that since it’s cold and rainy, I won’t get sweaty building it.  If you don’t see any posts for a day or so,… (more…)

Johnnie Cochran

Friends, associates and clients of renowned lawyer Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. spoke out Tuesday to pay tribute to the man who cleared O.J. Simpson of murder charges. Cochran died Tuesday afternoon at 67. Johnnie defended OJ Simpson in a trial that both gained Cochran a TON of fame as well as notoriety for the over-handed overt playing of the “race… (more…)

Supervolcano, The Motion Picture

Fresh on the heels of the latest trend of ending life on Earth, supervolcanos, the Discovery channel couldn’t rush their version of the end of the world as we know it fast enough.  The trailer begins benignly enough stating something to the effect of "This is a true story.  It just hasn’t happened yet.  Based on the predictions of leading… (more…)

Bad refereeing

The UK/Michigan State game was a classic.  I’m not going to dismiss that.  However, something happened at the end of regulation play that just bugs me to no end.  Here’s an illustrated play by play: Down by 3 points after making a near miraculous comeback ( mode of the weekend ), after two three point tries, a long rebound goes… (more…)

NCAA Tourney – Amazing Comebacks

I don’t know if people have noticed, but my volume has dropped a little lately.  That’s primarily due to several reasons, one of which being I’m a huge college basketball fan.  This time of year, I get a little distracted.  Some thoughts so far: Louisville getting a 4 seed was unjustifiable.  Washington getting a 1 seed was as well.  It’s… (more…)

Nomi: An Amazon Oddity

I probably have more than one hundred Amazon links on my blog.  I use them for the reason that they give very good descriptions of the item I am discussing.  They often have comments on the items, and, when discussing music, they often have music clips so I don’t have to use my bandwidth and limited storage space. I have… (more…)

Monty Python’s Top 15

I was thrilled to find this page ( thanks, Duck! )!  IMO Monty Python’s Flying Circus is shamefully falling into tv obscurity.  The humor of that show is as relavent today as it was 30 years ago.  It was simply funny as hell!  This page lists their Top 20 funniest skits.  Duck at TMF takes offense that “Spanish Inquisition” takes… (more…)

Spring Break: Shark Attack

Now, I have to confess, I forgot to watch this.  It was the boy’s prime playing time and we forgot to turn it on.  I’m sure it will be re-ran at some point, so it should examined anyway.  This is what CBS has to say about it: College girl Danielle (Lucio) lies to her parents about her spring break plans… (more…)

CNN Priorities

I’m quite sure the CNN homepage will change before the day is over, so you’ll just have to take my word on this one.  At 10am on March 22, 2005. the BIG headline is: Judge denies bid to restore Schiavo’s feeding tube Now, over there, on the sideline, along with Jennifer Anniston’s new movie plug, is the news item Reservation… (more…)

Jessica Lunsford

Couey, 46, also is charged with burglary with battery, kidnapping and sexual battery on a child less than 12 years of age. The charges carry no bond. Formal charges will follow an indictment by a grand jury. Couey — a convicted sex offender with a long criminal history — was scheduled to appear on the new charges Tuesday morning in… (more…)
