My Culture Of Destruction
We’ve never heard of this punctuation and grammar-impaired conservative columnist before, but we’re going to keep an eye on him. His name is Ken Hughes, and his column is entitled "The Democrats Culture of Destruction". Note the lack of an apostrophe in the title. Yup, it gets better: Is The "Culture of Destruction" practiced by Democrats a winner or will … Read More

The Prayer Antenna
Just in case God has bad reception: Yes, it’s real. Here’s the description from the inventor: The Prayer Antenna is part of a series of Religious Technological Artifacts that I am making.

“The Humiliation Is Complete”
Over The Monster: Posted Friday 8/18 in the morning, before Game 1: Here we go. Five games. Four days. It’s mid-August, but it sure feels like a lot of the season rides on this series. GO SOX! Posted Friday 8/18 in the early evening, before Game 2: OK, so the first game went less than great. It went the way … Read More
The Reviews Are In: “Debbie” Is A Hoot!
From the Winston-Salem Journal (the picture at the right does not accompany the article): Theatre Alliance has set itself apart. It has become the area leader in presenting shows with adult themes, be they serious or fun.

Opening Night — “Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical”
Well, the day has finally arrived. There were times when I thought it would never come together, but it seems to be okay. I’m still a little concerned about costume changes, as well as the weak left calf. I twisted my left ankle last night during the cowboy dance, because my ankle is carrying the full load. Fortunately, there seems … Read More

It’s that a federal judge has held that the NSA wiretapping without warrent scheme is unconstitutional, and has enjoined the government from using it. Glenn Greenwald analyzes the court opinion: I am almost done with the opinion. Here is my analysis of … Read More
OK Go Again
One year ago, I posted a link to a video by "OK Go". I liked the video because it showed how four non-dancers could do a decent job dancing to cool choreography. Well, "OK Go" has (in my opinion) done it again:

George Will Says What I Said
Not that I’m brilliant, but this seems painfully obvious — the "war on terror" will not be solved primarily through military solutions, as the warhawks in the White House seem to think. No, sir. John Kerry was right. Glenn Greenwald reflects: In his new column today, George Will makes a critical (if not obvious) point about all of that: namely, … Read More
Bo Dietl On Islam
I actually worked with Bo Dietl on several occasions (back when I was doing law in New York), and while he is a great private investigator, he is as dumb as a doornail when it comes to politics and, well, everything else. From Think Progress: Today on Fox News’s Your World with Neil Cavuto, private investigator Bo Dietl argued that … Read More
Bush Doctrine Explained
World O’Crap introduces us to Mark Noonan, who writes: President Bush is, indeed, a rebel – and his cause is peace. His critics don’t understand it, but President Bush figured out that the only sure path to peace in the world is to make the largest number of free people possible.
