appropriate use of subtitles

I will be departing on yet another short leave of absence, so I leave you all with this: http://www.nearlygood.com/video/subtitles.html. Enjoy!…

the separation of the church and idiocy

Well, as you all may or may not be aware (dependant upon how often you read this weblog), I had a recent falling out, so to speak, with the American Civil Liberties Union. Additionally, being that I generally have more than two neurons firing at one time, I have always …

“… put out my hand and touched the face of god.”

Twenty years ago on this date, seven people lost their lives in a horrific accident, causing the Challenger space shuttle to explode in the middle of its launch flight. The space shuttle was meant to herald in a new generation of American exploration of space, and instead, this single incident …

rollergirls

So I occasionally watch a little television, and in my browsings of the TV guide each week, I kept noticing that A&E had been running a series by the name of “Rollergirls”. I honestly had no idea that the sport still existed, and existed in sufficient strength to warrant its …

49,597… minus one more

Well, I bring you the next installment of our counter-culture examination of the current running of Battlestar Galactica. The rest is below the break :):) .…

addition to “bad news for today”

Every single time I write something for someone else to see, after some amount of time later, I realize I forgot something. The writing could be homework, a letter to someone, a thesis paper, or, in this case, a blog post, and the amount of time between “publishing” and the …

bad news for today

Unfortunately, I have been away from my computer for most of the past week, and have thus been completely out of the news, and not at all up-to-date. That changed today when I was browsing through all of my various favorite blogs, as found on the right.
I am quite …

interesting new widget

Well, I happened to stumble across this while reading another blog out there in the Internet… After uploading an image, these are my results:
Yahl Bar Zohar – 57%
Carl Sagan – 50%
Rafael Leonidas Trujillo – 50%
Rudolph Valentino – 45%
Katrina Kaif – 44%
Patrick Kluivert – 43%…

raw, uncooked goodness

So I used to live on the ass-end of nowhere – namely, some little town on the coast of Mississippi that is barely there now after Katrina. Due to being in such a nowhere, I could not even get Chinese food delivered to my apartment, and went into some degree …

counterculture

So the big thing these days among the blogs I read is to make posts about the television series “24″. I can honestly say I have never seen a single episode, and find most of the posts somewhat confusing, or just outright odd. Thus far, from reading those posts and …

(responsi/accounta)bility

So Daisy Cutter wrote up an interesting post trying to define the difference between “leftists” and “conservatives”. It actually prompted a fair amount of thought on this end of the reader/writer relationship, and I responded with the following comment:

As a caveat to your remarkably well-written explanation of the differences

pure, not-from-concentrate motivation

Well, this news article definitely falls under the “What the $#%*&@!” category… It turns out that Mr. Osama Bin Ladin, the man responsible for murders too numerous to count, the man responsible for one of the largest assaults on American soil, and the instigating factor of the current War on …

quote pop quiz

Ok, for some reason, throughout my entire life, I have been somewhat interested in historical quotes, from just about any source I can find – Einstein, Truman, Sherman, Hitler, Ghandi, Washington, Stalin, Heinlein, Shakespear, and anyone else I can track down. It always amazed me the interesting, odd, amusing, or …

what was he thinking?

First preface: I am a home-grown, dyed-in-the-wool, proud-of-it American. As such, I fully believe in the right that everyone has to speaking their mind, whatever those thoughts may or may not be.
Second preface: I am a bigot. I hate, discriminate against, and generally ridicule stupid people.
Bearing all that …

explanation

So most of you are probably wondering from whence I got this remarkably odd domain name… And the rest of you probably do not care, but if you fall into the latter category, then you probably are not reading this post to begin with, so who cares about you? ;);) Regardless, …
