Giants Win In Exciting Fashion

Was there any more exciting finish in pro football yesterday then the Giants/Denver game? Sure, being a Giants fan, I may be a bit biased, but, a come back from 13 points down win it by 1 in the fourth quarter with 8 seconds left win is pretty impressive. With a 2nd year QB at […]

On Hurricanes: Stop the Coverage

Perhaps this is an old refrain, but it might be time for the media to stop covering hurricanes live-on-the-scene as they happen. People see these folks standing out in the elements reporting, and we get to see conditions that often look bad, but not bad enough to make people consider leaving the area. The Weather […]

Great Coffee!!!

There have been a few folks talking about the ultimate cup of coffee, including Mr Bad Example himself (TB not working), and starting with Random Firings of Neurons.

Dr. Kamau Kambon, a professor of African American studies, made these comments at a forum at Howard University on October 14th: Now how do […]

The Magic Of 33

See, Blogapathy had stopped by for a bit, nothing was really exciting out there. Then, I ran across a charter member of Idiots R’ Us: A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to — all because of Larry Bird. The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a […]

Not White Trash, Unless He Wants To Be

So, I’m a readin John Gibson’s book, Hating America: The New World Sport. Rather interesting. Gibson includes a quote from Tony Blair, that really struck a chord: "But, the price of influence is that we do not leave the U.S. to face the tricky issues alone. By tricky, I mean the ones which people wish […]

WTW: Hey, Wilma!

Being a VERY bad girl (can you sense a theme for today?): It’s been confirmed: Hurricane Wilma, with a pressure of 882 mb, is the most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin. Wilma, after undergoing a stunning intensifcation overnight, is […]
