This is annoying as heck. 50 million people want this, and one asshole federal judge can toss it aside. How does one get a judge recalled? If Bush wants to impress me, he needs find a way get rid of this incompetent loser. I agree with one aspect of this, but not enough to see the entire program get delayed. I don’t want politicitans, charities or people conducting surveys intruding on my dinner either. We should be able to choose what, if any, kinds of unsolicited calls we get. If we don’t want any calls, we shouldn’t have to get…
Where Were You?
It seems that “where were you when the twin towers fell?” may be the defining question for this generation, as the Kennedy assassination was for my parents, and the Challenger explosion was for my generation (in my opinion). I was at home, getting ready for work, and as is my habit, checking out Scripting News. We don’t watch TV in the morning, so that was where I first learned about the attack. Looking back at that day’s reporting gives me the same sick-to-my-stomach feeling I had that morning. Our whole family just stayed home, watched, and talked all day.
I always knew the NCAA was a bullshit organization, but this proves it beyond any doubt.
They stripped the University of Hawai’i of the only men’s national championship in the school’s history, the 2002 men’s volleyball championship. They wouldn’t have dared pull this on Ohio State, USC, UCLA, Duke, or Indiana, but they have to look tough on occasion, and tend to pick out schools like ours. This is clearly a case of the punishment not fitting the crime. The player lied to the school, and the NCAA punishes the entire program and all the other players? I sure hope UH appeals (the AD says they will), and sues if they have to.
Hey Dave, this guy sounds like a prime candidate for a weblog!
And he’s in your neighborhood. Ron Mazzoli, former lawmaker, 70, heads back to college to live in dorm, participate in Harvard program.
Heads up Burger King patrons! The Chicken Caesar Club is quite possibly the worst sandwich I’ve ever eaten.
Heads up Burger King patrons! The Chicken Caesar Club is quite possibly the worst sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The real sandwich I got in no way resembled the sumptuous looking sandwich on their poster – little green on the lettuce, limp sour dough and a chicken patty so small that I had to lift up the bread to find it – it was invisible from all outside angles. Oh yeah, the chicken patty may as well have been a tofu patty for all the taste it had. I was trying to find something healthier than my normal Whopper, but this…
The Unfunniest Joke
I kept waiting for the punchline, but none came. I guess I should give him credit for surviving in a sea of clearly superior comics, but when your secret to success is to wrap your mother’s Vietnamese accent around some pretty weak material it’s hard to give Dat Phan much credit. Well, I’ll give him this much – his jokes and timing did get stronger as the show went on (the kung fu urinal routine wasn’t bad but hardly original), but he clearly was wasn’t in the same league as some of his competitors. Ralphie May, that was one funny…
Meet The Duckleone Family
I have a tip for anyone trying to give up TV cold turkey – buy some ducks. Not that I’m giving up TV, but I can sit for hours and watch these characters. My wife started calling one of them “Sunny” because of a bit of orange on his/her bill. I changed that a bit and named the rest of them after characters from “The Godfather.” Meet Vito, Michael, Santino (“Sonny/Sunny”), Don Barzini, Luca Brasi, and Connie. We’re still not sure about all of their sexes, so we may have some name changes in the future. Fortunately there are plenty…
I’ve been trying to find some ducklings for our daughter to raise, with absolutely no luck.
I’ve been trying to find some ducklings for our daughter to raise, with absolutely no luck. Our state’s Department of Agriculture in its infinite wisdom has set up barriers that make it next to impossible for anyone to bring any kind of live poultry into the state. I’m concerned about our native birds as well, but I’ve been told that their measures go way beyond what is necessary to protect the state. It’s been an enlightening experience. I found an absolutely wonderful site while doing some duck research called The New Agrarian. The site design is excellent, graphics crisp and…
I watched the beginning of the Miami/Ohio State game yesterday.
I watched the beginning of the Miami/Ohio State game yesterday. Unfortunately I missed what turned out to be a spectactular ending. I don’t know how any of the sportswriters and sportscasters could call it an upset. Two undefeated teams that had not yet met. Who the hell knows what is going to happen in a situation like that.
