Talk Like A Pirate Day
Today was the now internationally recognized Talk Like a Pirate Day; here’s to hoping you’ve used it to your advantage in an inappropriate situation. My wife and I have both been mumbling some arrgh’s of our own, sadly for a different reason- we’re both under the weather. It only makes sense, [...]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you might have noticed the government destroying civil liberties enhancing national security by sipping from the online teacup of personal information. Hey, whatever. I’m [...]

I ran across a great article this morning about the Simpsons from Parade Magazine. I’m sure I’m not alone in being a fan of the show; I remember when it premiered both as a short and show respectively, and has since become a weekly television staple in my life.

Former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway said on a radio show Wednesday afternoon that he would not want a gay player on his team.

Texas is the reason… I ran across this article in my feeds today: New Footage of JFK in Dallas Released. The article does not actually link to the said video, but I easily found it on YouTube as you can see.
Nothing terribly myth shattering here, but still- worth peeking at. There’s an odd feeling [...]
