As I Listen To Channel 8 News . . .

. . . give a handful of tips on how to "remain safe from thieves at the mall this season", I think I can sum it up: Don't be stupid. Otherwise, I would leave my keys in my car, and leave my new PS3 player on the dash.

I Caught The Last 15 Minutes of the American Music Awards Tonight

And I learned (while I was "givin' it up" as instructed for the West Coast "boyz" Snoop Dogg and Akon) that (1) the well dressed black man is now having his tie hit him several inches above the belt (Michael Irvin has been throwing down this look on ESPN) and (2) strippers are apparently OK on ABC.

Kramer

It's Thanksgiving, Kramer is in trouble, and this very dumb episode of Seinfeld seems appropriate.

That Was A Chunk Of Change Back Then (And Still Is)

As we approach the Blue Ray vs. HD-DVD battle (the format for high definition DVDs), us old-timers can recall the Betamax vs. VHS wars. I'm going to guess this ad was around 1986.

Listen To What?

Just a funny quote this weekend from Florida State coach Bobby Bowden about Internet rumors and the press. I, personally, never listen to Ebay. The Google, yeah, but not Ebay.

The Sanctity of Marriage

I find that figure amazing. And think how high it would be if abortion was illegal.

I'm Thankful

Not much worth posting out there today. But this thing had a bit of a dark ending, so it became worthy.

News Flash From Channel 5 This Morning

Massive difference in the temperature between Decatur and Bridgeport proves global warming.

Git Out The Way, Git Out The Way

The highlight of this clip (which is very brief) comes at 00:19 when the reporter gives a serious shoulder to an Ohio State fan. My favorite part of the clip may come at the end when the studio female host says she has been to many "sports games." (The whole clip is less than 60 seconds.)

I Wonder If Brad Pitt Ever Has Second Thoughts

The Top Speed Traps

Well, on Fox 4 News tonight Runaway Bay didn't make the list but Rhome did. (The survey was based upon the amount of speeding fines collected divided by the number of residents).

Maybe Texas Should Put A Sign Up That Reads . . .

"We hate Mexicans." First the Farmer's Branch city council decides to punish all of those in their city that hire illegal immigrants or rent them an apartment. I hope every employer that hires illegal immigrants flees the City of Farmer's Branch and thereby crippling it's economy. And then Tyler state Rep. Leo Berman (of the Tyler, Texas Bermans, I think) introduced legislation to be considered in January that would prevent U.S.-BORN children of illegal immigrants from attending public schools or receiving any social services. Uh, hey, idiot, if your born in the U.S. you are a United States citizen.

Best Buy . . .

. . . won't be using "Merry Christmas" at Christmas. Let the boycott, in Christian love, begin. I'll boycott them, too, unless they are selling something I want to buy.

Lindsay? Paris? You Girls OK?

Now That Is Horrible

This bus went off the overpass in Huntsville, Alabama today killing two. It's amazing more weren't killed. Can you imagine the horror of seeing that thing go off the side of the bridge? Aerial shots here and here.

I Found My New Trial Suit

Kramer Loses It

This will probably hit the news shows over the next couple of days. Michael Richards lost it on stage this weekend and shouted the "n word" at some hecklers. AP has the story here. Youtube.com has it here. (And it is triple offensive for language.) The whole thing is completely bizarre.
