This technology is pretty cool. I’m sure it has its flaws, but it’d still be fun to play with… Can you imagine the fun conversations you could have with telemarketers and political pollsters! It’s only a matter of time before they invent little lie detectors that can sit unseen in your office or even on your person.
Just remember…The truth will set you free

The diet blog has a good top ten list on starting to exercise.
As I mentioned in a previous post I’ve just lost a healthy amount of weight myself. Continued exercise is definitely going to be key for me to maintain my weight.

Not that there is anything wrong with George Brett’s crotch, but I have to admit I found this a little disturbing.
After years of being a general pain in the @ss for the United States, French President Jacques Chirac will soon be succeeded by a new leader. According to this article, many of the candidates will be open to strengthening France’s relationship with the US.
I have to admit a real dislike for Chirac. His only claim to fame is that he likes to “stand up against the US.” Which apparently many French saw as an asset… Like an opposition democrat in the US, he was great at dissent, but had no substance of his own.
I’ve been to France, a couple times (and would love to return). I have the utmost respect for the French and their culture (as do I think most Americans). And I want to see France prosper. But I think, as history has shown, it should thrive as a partner of the US, not as a competitor.
“We feel disrespected,” junior forward Charron Fisher said. “I’m sure you’ll be able to see when we play on Tuesday how disrespected we feel.” (more)
What ever… Somebodies got to remind this kid he plays for freak’n Niagara. You want respect, you not only win that meaningless joke they call a “play in game”, try to stay within 20 points of Kansas. If you can do that, I (and everyone else) might show you some respect… maybe.
That’s the beauty of the NCAA Tournament, you don’t need to win peoples respect, you just need to WIN. So shut up and ball 
Was there anything more satisfying than Martha laying the blade to Ex-Pres Logan? When you were watching her manically cut fruit, you knew that knife was going somewhere… I have to admit my money was on her wrist…I’m glad I was wrong! Logan is such a great character! He really makes you hate him… he’s so freak’n smug.
Rick has the full recap over at the Right Wing Nut House. I do have to respectfully disagree with his berating of “little” Ricky Schroeder. Come on Rick, give the poor guy a break, former child actors have got to pay the bills too. I think Schroeder has been more than serviceable in roles ranging from Lonesome Dove to Pool Hall Junkies. Plus he’s been man enough to buck the Hollywood norm and be his own man…an admitted conservative. That alone no doubt limits his roles!!
I hate the fact that the induction ceremony for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame continues to be in NY City, even though the Hall itself is located on the lakefront in Downtown Cleveland!
The museum has been open in Cleveland for over a dozen years. I remember when the NY inductions were supposed to be temporary. As a born and raised son of Cleveland, I consider this nothing short of an insult. I remember “back in the day” the strong push the city made to get the Rock Hall. It would be great if the city could drum up just a little piece of that passion to get the induction ceremony where it belongs.
You may think this is trivial and “no big deal.” But I’m convinced that little things like this will, overtime, help the city rebound from the dire straits (no pun intended) it now finds itself in.
Props to the folks who worked so hard to bring this year’s Womens’ Final Four to the north coast!
To protest against a Christian preacher who suggested that Muslims might have violent tendencies, Muslims in the Philippines called for him to be beheaded. (much more @ LGF
Same old…same old. Someone is critical of Muslims, they call for his head on a platter. Just once I’d like to see some mainstream news outlet focus on the violence of Islam. Heck, can you imagine if Christians dared to threaten people like this…the press would have a field day. There’d be a frig’n reporter at every church to interview members about the violence of religion.
I think the reason we see this behavior hushed in the media is twofold. One, radical Muslims and the press have a common enemy, specifically Bush (generally America). Secondly, no one has the balls to say anything, they’re afraid of being 1) labeled a racist [which is the ultimate low for a liberal] or 2) having a violent act perpetrated on them or there families by the radicals they’d be speaking out against.
The Reuters headline reads “TV torture scenes trouble human right activists.”
So when terrorists read headlines like this (mind you this was at the TOP of my Top Stories on my Yahoo start page) what do you think their reaction is? My theory is it emboldens them and reinforces their opinion that we are weak and not prepared to do what we have to do (namely defend ourselves).
In the case of this week’s episode of 24: If a nuclear bomb had just gone off (in the last 12 hours) and I KNEW more bombs were armed and prepared to be detonated. I’d say that it’s in deed worthy of cutting a guys finger off if I had even a 50/50 shot at getting the info needed to stop the next bombs.
Disagree?? By all means comment…
