Temper tantrums and 5th grade name calling.
This is what happens when you get a new strong Democratic Governor who refuses to put up with the typical bullying tactics from the Republicans.

There’s a lot to like about Southern California, so different from Northern California that there’s been talk for years of splitting the state in two. I love the architecture in LA, and the deserts, the beach and the sun. But mostly the architecture.
I meant to see Los Angeles Plays Itself when it came out […]

The shock and horror of the latest shootings on a campus can cloud clear thinking. But since the massacre I’ve been thinking about the whys. One way to shut off your thought processes: use utterly meaningless terms like “evil” to describe the shooter’s motivations.
If you think Columbine and the other school shootings (as well […]

 
I supposed you could put a yellow bumper sticker on your car.
Or maybe blindly follow Bush and his policies over a cliff.
Or, you can take the advise of some of the actual troops who have been there…

When they’re released on dvd, I’ve made it a habit to rent a season or more of any television series that get good reviews or I get good word-of-mouth on. That’s mostly HBO or Showtime because of the higher quality and lower censorship. Complex plots and real characters from unfamiliar worlds adds to the […]

From MSNBC.COM:
Scientists find most Earth-like planet yet
Models predict planet should be either rocky or covered with oceans
An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life, scientists announced today.

This site pretends it’s a free-range bunny meat packing factory to showcase the artist’s animations.  Cool icons and links, too!

Congratulations to Comrade Graham who got the last “What in the world is this”.  It was indeed the monument at the site where Yuri Gagarin lost his life in a rocket mishap in ye ole days of the U.S.S.R.
So here’s a new one,  What in the world is this?

I love internet radio. From the first, I would listen to stations outside the Bay Area (like kpig in Santa Cruz, jazz stations in San Diego and Tokyo, pirate radio outside the UK). Then there was live365, which allows individuals to broadcast and finally, pandora, which uses new software techniques to deliver tunes based on […]

 
So let me guess…
First, you wanted to get rich quick.  The .COM bubble had burned you on the stock market, so you needed something else.
Second, you heard all the stories; your friends, family members, and co-workers, were making tons of cash on real estate, many of them changing careers to become real estate agents or […]

From News.com.au: 
Man lives to 100, wins bet
A MAN who bet £100 ($240) a decade ago that he would live to be 100 is preparing to pick up his £25,000 ($60,000) winnings.
So confident was bookmaker William Hill in 1997 that it gladly offered Alec Holden odds of 250/1.
But the retired engineer, born April 24, 1907, celebrates […]

A very well done remix of Charlie Chaplins Speech from “The Great Dictator“

Click here to see a hilarious insane diatribe by Fox’s resident nutball Bill O’Reilly.
LOL… “George Soro’s is the Doctor Evil”
“He really hates this country, he funds these things like open borders and radical islamic groups”.
My god, O’Reilly has gone off the deep end, and Fox as well for letting this garbage spewing dip shit to […]

The Imus affair is a slippery slope. If you don’t like what someone says or something you see, change the channel. Censorship from the left is still just censorship.
The hyprocrisy of getting a man fired over his speech is highlighted in an article by Ted Rall (via smirking chimp):
Talk radio host Don Imus’ April […]
