Question Mark

Not Bad

It drives me nuts that the Star Telegram and Morning News (and hundreds of other) web sites require you to register before you can view them. It's free, but annoying. I normally create a fake profile making me a 60 year old man from Iowa. But not more. This site has a database of usernames and passwords that will let you by-pass that registration process. For example, type in www.dallasnews.com and you'll see what I mean. I'm pretty sure this doesn't qualify as a technical "sin".

I Don't Care About NASCAR . . .

We'll Get Right On That, Sir

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney urged Americans Thursday to do a better job of saving . . . . "The American dream begins with saving money and that should begin on the very first day of work," Cheney told a conference here exploring how to encourage people to boost savings and be better prepared for retirement. That's pretty easy to say for a guy whose net worth (two years ago) was estimated to be at least $50 million.

Everyone Is Dying

Jack Wild, who played the English-accented kid on H. R. Pufnstuf, has died. He was 53. That was one weird show.

Dream Crazed

I dream all the time that I'm back in school, final exams are approaching, and I haven't been to class in weeks. It makes me stressed. And I've had this dream for the last 20 years.

This Will Be The Lead Story On Thursday

"In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage. "Bush didn't ask a single question during the final briefing before Katrina struck on Aug. 29, but he assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: 'We are fully prepared.'" Another body blow to the GOP. Edit: This is really odd. It's the lead story on the Dallas Morning News web site but it was not even mentioned on the NBC Today show. Source.

Cape Fear . . .

. . . was on Starz tonight. I remember seeing the movie in the theater around Christmas time a million years ago. Great flick.

Aggieland - What The . . . .

According to Bob Sturm (of KTCK - The Ticket), the Google videos below all star Texas A&M basketball player Chris Walker. This will make every Longhorn fan howl with laughter. And make a huge question mark form over the rest of our heads. This stuff is Gold Thug Luv <------ You have to watch this one What a Wonderful World Total Eclipse of the Heart …… The Monster Mash … As Bob said on his Blog, "Do they have shirts in the basketball dorms at Aggieland?" Edit: A Longhorn Blog is on to them.

Trivia To Impress Your Friends

Oscar nominated "Crash" had 182 expletives (that's cuss words to you and me), including 99 utterances of the F-Bomb

Gas Prices

I'm not sure how this is possible, but this site claims to publish the gasoline price of every convenience store/gas station once you type in a zip code. Link

Not To Mention Mr. Burns

From the news wire: Americans apparently know more about "The Simpsons" than they do about the First Amendment. Only one in four Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.) But more than half can name at least two members of the cartoon family, according to a survey. The study by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that 22 percent of Americans could name all five Simpson family members, compared with just one in 1,000 people who could name all five First Amendment freedoms.
