Suzie got the encore and she got to pick another performer as her opening act. She chose Marty. So we all got to listen to the exact same songs we heard these performers perform last night.
Then the show tried to play on the performers internal conflicts. Don’t ya just love the Jerry Springer phenomenon? [...]

In keeping with my current preoccupation with new cars, I present the Saturn Sky. A car that could potentially convince me to buy American.

I’m proud to say I drive a 1994 Civic. It’s been paid off for 6 years and still going strong, so I’m a big Honda fan.
The design of the new 2006 Civic Coupe is tempting though. Are you like me? Do you ever wonder if you’ve ever really grown up?

Interview with Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen
I’m just afraid that he’s looking at this predominently from business/financial side and forgetting about the needs to use customer’s needs and desires to chart future paths. Everything comes back to UCD.

We can’t pray too often. Remember everyone who’ll be affected by this massive storm.

We all know that an organization can name itself anything it wants. Progressive, the auto insurance company, actually lives up to their name by giving away some simple comparative information for free via the Internet in the hopes that it’ll draw more people to evaluate their products. That is “more advanced” than their industry competitors.
But [...]

Two Soldiers Get Beat Down In Seattle
If laws were truly laws, we wouldn’t need “hate crime” laws. Turns out it’s a setup so some low-life video company can sell violence for money.

Russell: G’day.

Inspired by real life events, The Great Raid takes us on the journey of the greatest rescue mission in the history of the United States. And what a journey it is. With hundreds of American soldiers being held in a Filipino POW camp by the Japanese, Lt. Colonel Mucci and Captain Prince lead a band [...]

The band surprised me by giving the encore to Suzie. The America surprised me by keeping Suzie out of the Bottom Three. I’ve been surprised a lot lately. Bad trend.
What isn’t surprising is that Navarro is increasing his rear-kissing/minute ratio. He’s starting to sound like a politician.
So Bottom Three this week were Ty, Deanna [...]

Foundations of the Fair Tax
I completely agree. The only people who want to maintain our twisted IRS system are the bureaucrats who built it and the lawyers who benefit from it.
