Bob Uecker, the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball, has gotten a restraining order from a lady who he claims (and the court apparently agrees with) has been stalking him!  I had a hard time deciding if this should go under humor, or sports!  Ah, but Sports needs a bump! A woman stalking him?  Has he been dipping into the viagra stash?  LOL! I like Bob.  He is funny and self effacing.  And you cant help but like his antics as he "exalts himself" only to be humbled!...

In a recent blog, Stevendedalus was criticizing Don Rumsfeld for calling democrats isolationists.  When in truth, Rumsfeld was not talking about democrats at all.  Now along comes Keith Olberman, and not only is his ego the size of the grand canyon (comparison intentional), but he screwed up when referencing the author of the remarks.  Olberman goes off on his tirade: Make no mistake here--the intent of that is to get us to confuse the psychotic scheming of an international t...

Yea, I am yelling!  They write an article about Star Trek, and get it wrong!  I mean, they are supposed to be about getting the story right!  And this is no minor blooper, this one hits any fan like a ton of bricks! The 40th anniversary finds the venerable sci-fi franchise at a crossroads. "Enterprise" was canceled after only four seasons and the last "Trek" film, "Insurrection," was a critical and box office disappointment. Ok, so who is a Trekkie?  See the bloope...

Give me a head of hair, long beautiful hair, shinin', gleamin', steamin', flaxin', waxin'. give me down to there hair, sholder length or longer, here baby, there mama, everywhere..... Acknowledgement to Treat Williams. What is it about Hair.  Half the guys I know are bald, or very short cut.  And we like it that way (and yes, count me as one - it is cooler).  Yet on a woman, even one that may not be pretty at first glance, long hair is sexy, provacative, cute, and just id...

"Cat Catches Bat, Bat Has Rabies, Bat Put Down"--headline, RadioIowa.com, Aug. 25 Dr. Suess is writing headlines now.

"Sting Rounds Up 25 Foreigners for Sex Crimes"--headline, WorldNetDaily, Aug. 25 Isn't this taking the name of your Pop group a little too seriously?

Yes, even though he was never president, not legally, not legitimally, not even in fantasy, Al Gore is leaving a legacy. His legacy?  A sore loser!  Yes some elections are decided by razor thin margins.  We had one here that was decided by 3 votes (mine was on the losing side).  But we screamed to the gods above and vowed to do better (we did).  We did not yell about stolen elections (guess that is Gore's legacy). But now Senor Alice Gore is doing just that in Mexi...

Happy feet! I've got those hap-hap-happy feet! Give them a low-down beat And they begin dancing! I've got those ten little tip-tap-tapping toes, When they hear a tune I can't control the dancing, dear, To save my soul! Those weary blues can't get into my shoes, Because my shoes refuse To ever grow weary. I keep cheerful on an earful Of music sweet; Just got those hap-hap-happy feet! By Cab Calloway Yep!  I got happy Feet! Ok, how many have seen the film ...

This was in response to Davad, who has refused to repudiate, not appologize, but repudiate the racism of the part of the democrats that now claim to control the party.  I am linking to his article, but feel that my response, since it is so direct, will not last long.  SO here it is. [davad70]I definitely see your point. I have no problem with stating that the views of a few nutjobs don't represent the view of the majority of Democrats. I just think it's silly for anyone to really ...

My wife went for a walk this morning.  To survey the damage that Ernie had caused.  I was being lazy, having fed the cats, and was laying in bed.  Watching some nameless movie that I cant remember now. She came into our room with her hands cupped.  Ok, you got a bud from your favorite plant? No, she had a baby squirrell!  So young that there was no fur, and the skin was almost transparent!  I told her to take it back so the mother could retrieve it, but she re...

In another example of death after life, the Cuban media has decided to make sure that Castro out dies Francisco Franco!  In the latest incarnation, he is shown...... Wait, sorry, he is not shown.  But is alleged to be ok by the latest totalarist, Chavez.  Ok, So Castro is still not dead, but his conditition is improving!  He is warm now, thanks to the tanning industry! I think Gene Wilder should do his life story. "it is ALIVE". Works for me! Raul, you game? ...

So my PS died.  So I went down to my "trusted" computer store and told them I needed a new one.  They trotted out a nice one, just fourty bucks.  And I was happy.  BUT It did not fit!  It was too big!  BUT it did fit, just with a hangover.  Ok, I know my setup is old (coming up on 3 years now), but what is the extra prongs for?   It works (or you would not be seeing this) and is great. Damn!  I have to get up on the NEW ATX. &nb...

Yes, I showed Sally a picture of Socrates!  My mistake!  And this is what she did.     I got to schedule that appointment soon!

Ernesto is now moving out.  We are still getting rain, and the sump pump is going like a bat out of hell!  But we were spared the worst (Tidewater caught the worst of it).  Still, with over 300k without power and I would estimate (my bucket measure) about 6 inches of rain, he was no friend of ours! The rain is slacking off, but the wind is going gungho!  It seems he is running into a high pressure ridge, so the gradient means we are getting a lot of wind.  That, along...
