I wonder if this works? What about a link?

i won’t be doing this! WOW!

Pretty cool.

best headline of recent times.

Stem cell controversy is thus endeth . . .

Google Maps Street View can be pretty funny.

Oh my . . .

well, just to freshen things up a bit around here (though not meaning to bump Matt’s beautiful picture from the top of the list), i thought i would share a few links from today’s boortz page.

first: a man wrastled a wild leopard who jumped in bed with his family, holding him pinned for 20 minutes. the best part of the article is that the daughter was in bed with them because she was afraid of a mosquito!

second: closer to home, an eighty pound monitor lizard has been shot twice and still got away, near orlando. i ain’t gettin’ away if you shoot me twice.

third: just for kicks - a palestinian was arrested having “car sex” near arafat’s grave. no mention of how “hot” the car was.

I don’t know the details, but this seems pretty whack.

Immigration: The Whole System is Really Unfair

The prosecution’s Exhibit A that we need to move on from the current generation of politicians. Video Games? Are you f***ing kidding me, Newt? Video games? Jesus. And you, too, Hillary.

Whew, that was close.

I am really, really pissed that NBC and the other media outlets are playing this guys videos and pictures over the airwaves.  I think it’s disrespectful of the families, not to mention it’s exactly what this freak wanted and will feed other peoples similar desires.  Very bad decision making at NBC. I’m sure they “toiled” over it, but they went ahead and did it anyway.

This is not a joke. Well, actually, it is, but it’s not meant to be, I don’t think, well maybe it’s sort of a Dave Chappelle joke where we’re all sort of in on it but know it’s funny anyway even though we should not be laughing cause this is serious stuff, but, come on, man, it’s so funny. I’m just not sure if it’s funny or not. Click it and decide for yourself.

My wife mentions the Showbiz Show blog in this post.  If you’re not reading it, well, you’re just not as cool as you think you are.

Some of the absolutely best reporting anywhere is on “This American Life.” They are funny. They are spot on.  They are disturbing. Take a look at this sneak peek of the show’s new television presence. Amazing.

Hey, authors - Harrison, Steven, Matt, Archie - I noticed yesterday that I had a couple of comments from Archie and Harrison that were awaiting moderation.  This happens because of some of the anti-spam stuff; if there are more than a certain number of links, it has to be approved.  To fix this, I made all of you administrators.  If a comment doesn’t post, sign in to the admin panel, go to manage, and look at the awaiting moderation tab.  You can approve your own comment there.  Please don’t mess with the presentation tab.  Or do.  Thanks.

Is this Obama’s “Achilles’ heel?”  He, is after all, from Chicago.

Sorry, but the man’s delusional. There’s no other explanation.

“Has the USA lost it sense of reality?”  I think so.  I really do.

Something tells me the Trojans won’t be holding on to those National Championship banners for much longer.

I think Michael Vick likes the ganja.  He should have been arrested.

First the Real World, then the Democratic National Convention.  Denver’s arrived, baby!

Wow, you mean I can watch movies on my television? Thanks, Steve Jobs, that’s incredible.

Wow. This guy is a stud. Read the comments, too. What would you do?

The vast left-wing conspiracy continues…. Oh, wait a minute. Guess not.

See who all has turned down the Alabama football coaching job. Here’s the list. All candidates that turned it down are pictured with their hands raised. It’s quite a long list, so be paitient.

“Cow ‘emissions‘ more damaging to planet than CO₂ from cars”

i know that you don’t want to talk anymore about global warming, but i ran across this long article about some of the reasons that there are intelligent people who don’t believe that the current warmer global temperatures are due to SUVs. i know you won’t read the whole thing, but at least page down and skim some of the exhibits that start about 1/3 of the way down the page. for a brief, though hardly convincing, summary, look at this.

matt, i’d love to hear a thoughtful response of your impressions.

I love the internet.

I’m on TV.

Speaking of WTF? Has anyone been following this idiot Tancredo who is seriously arguing that Miami is a problem because it’s not “assimilated enough” into American culture. What an ass.

just in case you think things are hard, here, head on over to zimbabwe news.

Harare man sues after dog bites off his manhood.

ouch. but, keep looking at that page. first of all, the address has this story under “incest.” wtf?

but also, look at the other linked stories on that page. and i’m not just talking about the “dumped baby eaten by dogs.”

obviously, they need to get their dogs under control…. and their drinking - see the links for that one.

I love the internet.

“women talk almost three times as much as men,” says a female psychologist.

And, if that wasn’t enough, the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high.

It’s good to be a head football coach in the NCAA.

Let’s hear it for new blood, fresh ideas and a new tone in Washington! Oh wait, never mind. Yep, Republicans, this is a swell way to start. Keep up the good work.

Sweet!

Pure genius.  Slightly not safe for work.

I think rumors of a landslide are greatly exagerated and there are some proofs of such showing up on the internets.

UPDATE:  Notice the headline’s use of the word, “tighten.”

i love the internet.

Shut up!

One thing I’m working on right now.

Best Halloween costume ever.

Uh-Oh, Spaghetti-O’s….

In the span of about 6-9 months we’ve gone from caution about the housing market, to downright gloom and bubbles bursting, to a recovery according to Business Week.  This has to be the fastest real estate cycle ever.  Or, could it be overzealous reporters selectively using data to perpetuate a fear to create a story?  You be the judge.  They keep mowing them down, building bigger and selling in my neighborhood even with all the speculation going on.  Did anyone ever think building cracker box houses in the Arizona desert was sustainable?

Hey, if you include a video in a post or link to a video, please note a new category - why read? After all, why should you?

I love the internet.

Torture works.  After being tortured by the press, Alberto Fernandez (not Gonzalez, that would be too rich) has finally come around, calling the US’s Iraq policy and execution “arrogant and stupid.”  Fun stuff.

We should all be ashamed of our country for this. It is simply unaccepatble.

If you haven’t seen it, yet, please take the time to watch this video. About 1:40 in the CSS announcer starts talking smack.

The conspiracy continues.

All that bitchin’ paid off; the Denver Post launched their new site today.

Couldn’t see that coming from a mile away……

Newsweek thinks we’re stupid.

Not sure if this link requires subscription, but it is a post about the scrambling of Jet fighters over various cities after yesterday’s plane crash.  Read the comments from readers.  It delves into a hilarious exchange between various people and one Joe from Baltimore.  Let me know if it requires a subscription.

Guys, I’ve made a couple of quick changes to the blog.  Anyone can comment now.  If you want to, you can still log in and all of your comments will be automatically attributed to you.  Otherwise, you’ve got to fill in the form for each comment.  Also, you will now receive an e-mail when someone comments on a post you made.  I can’t figure out how to let each of you individually decide.  Let me know if this bothers you.

North Korea’s claimed successful nuclear test is going to create a very, very bad military and political situation.

don’t leave the link before reading the last paragraph. nice.

Wow, who knew the Republican leadership was this paranoid? Dennis, this has nothing to do with Soros or Bill. Please come back to Earth.

Or do you just assume your constituency is stupid and will buy the conspiracy junk?

what a good use of his time.

Nicely put, Tommy.

If you haven’t set your Tivo to record Friday Night Lights yet, it sounds like you probably should. The Times loves it. SI does, too.

I love the internet.

where are the masses to call for the congressional investigation of the bush administration’s conspiracy of the $0.60 per gallon gas price change in the last 6 weeks? it is, as we all know, a covin to get the GOP to maintain control of the houses, of course.

I made a joke and it made the paper.  (You have to scroll down to the second story.)

i’m very curious, does anyone buy citgo gas? read the third paragraph. i became aware of this awhile ago, but i’m not sure that it is common knowledge.

The Times like Chattavegas!

I love the internet.

That’s pretty hot: Branson pledges profits from all five of his airlines and his train company into developing alternative energy sources; plus it makes for a big bang for the Clinton Global Initiative. I love this competition the rich people have going on for who can give away more money.

i love the internet.

Because I can’t get enough of blogging, we launched a new Riverfront Park website a couple of weeks ago that I haven’t yet directed you to; I do that now.  Pretty damn cool if I do say so myself; and I do so say.  It’s part blog, part tour, part events calendar, part property listing, and part discussion.

BS Lives!

This is a very quick test of a Firefox extension called deepest sender. You just hit a couple of keys at the same time, and the ability to post pops up. Here’s the link.

This is a little test of the whole asides/shorter posts things.  We’ll see how it looks once I publish this post.

It’s become obvious that I need another post. I, for example, am convinced that this is a great place to test things out. I’d also like to ad an image other than just wander on. One is included in the post here, what I don’t know is this: will it show up. We’ll see, no?

UPDATE: I had the take the photo out. It looked funny.
