Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Gets A Little Cute
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) vetoed a bill last night, and sent a little seven-line note to the California legislature, blasting them for not advancing his administration's proposals. The note is innocent at first glance: But people today, started noticing something: Oh, bad boy……
Facebook Can’t Leave Well Enough Alone, Preserves The Deceased
(1) This annoying live feed thing can be "fixed" with a little workaround. Simply click and drag your "status updates" on that lefthand column, and place it above the "news feeds". Facebook will now appear close to what it was before. (2) Facebook is now urging you to "reconnect" with your friends that you haven't interacted with in a while. Why? Why … Read More
Football Logic
Shorter every single rightwing website right now: Was civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers ever denied the right to purchase an NFL franchise? Hellz, no! So why can't Rush? Because of racism!!! Okay, not all are saying that. But you have some really over-the-top whines. This, by far, is the most WTF of them all: Earlier this evening, as most of … Read More
Am I The Man Of Your Dreams?
A colleague brought this story and website to my attention: In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in … Read More
About The Nobel Prize Thing
Look. Everyone knows that Obama got awarded the Peace Prize this morning not for his past achievements, but for his outlook and approach to future achievements. Obama himself understands this. Even the spokesperson for the Nobel Committee said as much. So big deal. It's their committee, their prize, their criteria. Nobody else's. One thing though — it's not unprecedented. The … Read More
David Joy Gets Good Press
Geez. Best quote: Jokes Lawson: “Truth be told, he owes all of his success to me, and the rest is history.” Joy plays right along. “It’s true,” he says. “I’m Jamie’s bitch. He works me like a slave driver and I keep coming back for more. I’m a prison bitch.”

FTC Establishes Rule Governing Bloggers
I don't think bloggers should (or necessarily can) be regulated, but this strikes me as a good idea: The Federal Trade Commission will require bloggers to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. It is the first time since 1980 that the commission has revised its guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and the … Read More
Tearjerker Monday
CNN: On the morning of last year's annual Sunflower Fair in La Porte, Indiana, a family, appearing a little lost, walked up and down a crowded street, looking in vain for the table to sign up their entry. They carried a large sunflower with them. If no one noticed the exhausted, grieving look in the family's eyes, that was understandable. … Read More
“Hold That Line! Hold That Line!” (Luke 3:7)
I don't have all the facts, just this: Cheerleaders at a north Georgia high school will have to fall back on school spirit alone to inspire the football team tonight against a longtime rival because the school district will no longer allow them to hold up signs bearing Bible verses. The Catoosa school district banned the signs over concerns they … Read More
Chicago Nixed For 2016 Olympics
To all the conservatives who rooted against America (which, not too long ago, you once considered a bad thing), pat yourselves on the back: Mission accomplished. Never mind that the event would have brought in 22.5 billion in economic activity (the equivalent of 315,000 permanent jobs in America), much less be a good place to exhibit American pride. It's more … Read More
