NBA Refs, They’re Craptastic!

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but the worst part of the NBA (besides the overly long season) is the quality of their referees. Star players get more than a fair share of calls, see LeBron. I would expect that since the NBA has the best players in it, shouldn’t the best referees [...]

Miss Kentucky Wins Miss USA 2006

Being from Kentucky, you’d think I would have posted this sooner, eh?

Survivor Panama: Week 11

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

And the Terry-Man, keeps marching, on. With just 5 left, here’s where it really gets interesting.
Gitanos
Made quick work of his competition again. Then tried to work some tribemates, but that only meant the kiss of death to everyone’s Final 2 Companion—Courtney. Still in a might fine position with the insurance idol and all.

Hotmail’s New Address
I bet many of you have seen the new “Sign up for the mail beta!” graphic inside of Hotmail. I ignored it. At first. Then I tried it out. Quickly I changed back because I couldn’t sort Date so as to have the most recently received emails at the bottom. “A significant number [...]

Supporting Marriage Can Cost You Your Job

Friday, April 28th, 2006

From the Family Research Council:
People who signed the pro-marriage petition in Massachusetts are being listed on a website maintained by homosexual activists (www.KnowThyNeighbor.org). That’s how a Cape Cod fire engineer lost his job. Leo Childs has served since 1998 as a volunteer on the Board of Fire Engineers for the town of Truro. Childs’ bid [...]

TV Turnoff Week

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I didn’t know it but we’re smack dab in the middle of TV Turnoff Week (April 24th – 30th). I just posted about the sorry state of affairs in regard to what is being broadcast across the air waves.
Given that most kids spend far too much time watching TV, maybe it should be TV [...]

Democrats Say Lieberman ‘Too Republican’
Which is exactly why he’d have the best chance to win the White House if the Democrats would only nominate him.
Boy turns in knife but may still be expelled
Truly outrageous. Common sense has left the building. I say we start a Wehrheim defense fund. These idiots need to be put in [...]

Drawing the Line on Decency

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

It’s all a matter of degrees. Can they say “bitch” but not “bastard”? Of course the F-word is off-limits… or should it be? Implied sexual content? Partial nudity? What kind of violence is acceptable and what is not? Everything is debateble, right?
Well, the Jack Valenti doesn’t even agree with the premise. He wants no line [...]

Tired of High Gas Prices? Blame Clinton

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Now, I’m not one of those people who thinks we could blame Clinton for every evil under the sun. He wasn’t the best President, but I believe there’s integrity in honesty. But had President Clinton not vetoed legislation (already approved by Congress) for Anwar drilling back in 1995, there’d be an additional “…nearly 1.4 million [...]

Lileks Vision of Tomorrow

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Lileks is such a joy. Little tidbits that, to him, fly out of his mind faster than Indy cars, give us all those “Ahh” moments and laughs to boot. Here’s a snippet from today’s Bleat.
I know it sounds rather excessive, but I made a vow when Gnat was born that I wouldn’t film & forget; [...]

Catholics Get Behind Marriage Amendment

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Of course, the New York Times titles the story as “against gay unions” rather than “for marriage” (media bias) but the information inside is still valid. Up until now, the Catholic church hasn’t taken much of a position on the proposed Marriage Amendment. Looks like support is growing.
If you haven’t signed the petition, [...]

This guy has the audacity to call himself “god” but I know for a fact, the real God wouldn’t use that lame WordPress theme. And then there’s this guy. Man, anyone can claim to be creator of the universe, eh?

Barret at 3 Months

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

Mrs. Paladin caught the wild Bear on film. Thought I’d share the shots.

Bear hard at work in the play gym.

That playtime will take it out of you.

Bear says, “I’ve never been happier.”

Survivor Panama: Week 10

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

It must have been some severe pain to put Bruce on his back like that. Appendicitis? I know how that feels. Ouch!
Gitanos
Didn’t have to win another Challenge so Bruce’s pain is Terry’s gain. But of all the people to leave, I bet Terry would have chosen anyone but Bruce.
Danielle showed a more human side this [...]
