Cheeto bags are mostly filled with air. And Cheetos themselves are mostly air. So how much "cheeto" do you get in a bag of Cheetos? Some people with nothing better to do decided to find out. The short answer: Not much. There are two cups of cheese-corn-whatever in an 8.5 ounce bag of Cheetos puffs.
For What It’s Worth
As of today, I'm the exact same age (down to the day) as JFK when he was killed. He accomplished a little bit more than I have….
Schilling Retires
His blog is down — probably from the deluge of hits — but he announced today that he is leaving baseball, at the age of 42, with "zero regrets". He was out all last season with a shoulder injury, and his best days are behind him, so it's not a major blow to the Red Sox. But still, he was … Read More
I’m Always Looking For Subjects For A Play For Me To Write
I think I found one.
Sometimes We Forget…
… that there are real people behind these words you see on the computer screen.
Nothing Gets Past Me
Apparently, there are a lot of basketball games being played someplace and a lot of my fellow North Carolina citizenry are all in a tizzy for one reason or another.

(2) Then go to “Random Quotations” and the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. (3) Then, go to Flickr and click on “Explore the Last … Read More
An Open Letter To Freida Pinto
Dear Freida, Loved you in Slumdog. I read here that you don't have an Oscar date. I just wanted you to know I'm not doing anything this coming Sunday evening. Leave a comment to this post so I know how to contact you. Or email. Yours, Ken
Short Takes
(1) Kudos to Bristol Palin for being realistic about abstinence-only education. (And she oughta know). (2) Really? A book which re-tells the story of Bambi…. from the hunter's point of view? Really? (3) Michelle Bachmann really is scary-stupid. (4) Not surprisingly, Republican governors support Obama's stimulus package. Governor Sanford of South Carolina doesn't, though. But Paul Begala has an idea … Read More
