Amazing Race Blogging – First Time for Everything
I have to admit, I’m not a fan of Amazing Race. My wife is, though, so while she watches, I browse the blogs or play a game of Civilization III or something. Tonight, I’m typing along on the PC, and The She Ogre is watching AR. The thing is, they’re in Turkey tonight, and she [...]
The Bear is Redesigning – Needs Logo
If you’ve got graphical design skills (girls like guys with skills), then The Truth Laid Bear has a contest for you. I’d enter this one, but as you can see from MY logo above, I’m no graphic designer. If you think you’ve got the chops, click on over and check out what he’s looking for [...]
Family Guy is BACK!
We’re less than a week from the new season of the previously cancelled Family Guy, on Fox. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. The show was cancelled after 3 seasons, because that’s what Fox does with good shows, but the huge response to the DVD caused Fox to want MORE! I [...]
Florida Self-Defense Advancement
Florida has made another step forward for the law-abiding among us. Erasing the previous requirement that a person facing criminal force has a duty to retreat, Florida is changing the law to allow crime victims to face force with force. Florida has become a bellweather state for self-defense rights in recent years, and they’ve become [...]
Is It Time to End the Hubble Mission?
The Hubble Space Telescope was a spectacular achievement 15 years ago when it was put into orbit. Using the orbiting telescope, we’ve been able to look further and study more than we ever could before. Now, though, there’s a debate going on about whether Hubble should be kept in service or allowed to de-orbit and [...]
Maggie Gyllenhaal – Cute, but Dumb
There’s almost nothing worse than deciding that you really like a particular actress, and want to see her in more movies, only to discover she’s stupid. It’s not enough that she’s stupid, but she’s willing to openly display her stupidity publicly, too. Maggie Gyllenhaal has joined the club, following in the footsteps of Melanie “What’s [...]
New Logo – Too Big?
Well, I’ve made a new logo. I think it looks nice. When I look at it on a different computer, running at only 1024×768, though, it looks a bit large. I may have to shrink it down just a bit. What do YOU think?
Anti-Minuteman Hunger-Strike
Thanks to Dave Barry for pointing out this image of a woman who has decided to go on a hunger strike to protest the Minutemen’s border-guarding efforts. Maybe I should have put scare quotes around “hunger strike.” Sounds to me like she’s found a cheap excuse to go on a diet. [UPDATE: Welcome Polipundit readers.]
Hollywood Helping Democrats Lose?
An analyis by the Progressive Policy Institute is telling Democrats that they’re losing support from families, and Hollywood is one major cause. This Washington Times Story tells how PPI has informed Democrats that they should paye attention to “morally corrosive forces in the culture,” and warns that the party will not fare better with this [...]
Congratulations to Marginal Revolution
Far short of their two year anniversary, Marginal Revolution has hit the two million hit mark on their counter. I can tell you, the reason they’re hitting two million is because they run a GREAT blog over there. I’ve learned a great deal about economics from them that I didn’t know. I especially love their [...]
