Nothing Really Caught My Eye This Morning

Well, almost nothing.

Weird

Google Blogger is acting weird this morning. Some of the old posts have floated to the top. I have no idea why. There's some recent stuff about four posts down. Edit: Comment4U figured the problem out. Summary: Youtube.com has a feature called "Post to Blog". One click, and here it appears. For the last week it hasn't been working. That is, until this morning when all of those failed attempts from days past suddenly appeared on The Blog.

Angry Professor
I struggle with whether it's real, but it sure seems that way (36 seconds only).

Aggie Squeeze
There's no audio on this, but this clip from Saturday's Tech game is all over the Internet. The oddest tradition in the history of ever.

MC Trebek
Brief clip of Jeopardy where Trebek has to read rap lyrics. Pretty funny.

Get Your Guns Up - Tech Wins

So Wrong

Wise County, Gas and Septic Tanks

This is Fox 4 News' account of the gas pipeline explosion today in Wise County. It's fairly uneventful except for the "man on the street pasture" interview where we learn that most explosions in the county have to do with installation of septic tanks. Good times.

We Made The Dallas Morning News

Famous Picture. Less Famous Death.

I was just a kid when this happened in the 1968 Olympics, but I remember being fascinated by it. The photo is making the rounds today because the white guy, Peter Norman, has died of a heart attack. He wore a "human rights badge" on the podium in support of the two "Black Power" demonstrating Americans.

"I'd Love To Slip Them Off You"

For those of you who need to be brought up to date on exactly what was said by Instant Messenger between ex-Congressman Foley and an underage male page, check out this reenactment on youtube.com which is both so funny and so wrong.

Alicia Silverstone

. . . who I really haven't heard much about lately, turns 30 today.

Me Loves Me Some College Football

No Man . . .

. . . can suck the life force out of a team like this miserable guy. Thank goodness he's gone.

The Forgotten War

In the less than a week, 17 more U.S. families have learned they will never see their child again. Story.

Hey, Now

If You Get Your News From Fox News . . .

. . . you aren't getting the news at all. This morning I was watching (ever so briefly) "Fox and Friends" as Brian Kilmeade was interviewing the new Republican candidate who will attempt to take Mark Foley's place in Florida. It was more like a campaign ad. But get this: Foley's name will remain on the ballot and the only way the new candidate can win is if the voters actually elect Foley. If that happens, the new Republican takes his place. How screwed up is that? But I did giggle when Brian asked, "So there is no way that we . . .uh. . . [insert awkward pause] . . . we, the people, can get your name on the ballot?" And Fox News three times yesterday put up a graphic showing the disgraced Foley as a Democrat.
