… Orson Scott Card. Just to set this up properly, Card (if you don’t know), is an excellent, award-winning writer. He is also a devout Mormon and has never been ashamed of sticking up for what is usually the butt of jokes other Christian sects make amoungst themselves (*hand up* guilty). That said–wow. This is […]
In honor of the late, great Douglas Adams, tomorrow is Towel Day (as is every May 25th). Carry your towel with you tomorrow, wear a bathrobe (if you can get away with it), and generally spread the Good News that Adams gave to the world. Or, just carry a towel and tell lookers-on about his […]
Like we didn’t know that. But this guy had one hell of a good time getting back at Orbitz. I’ve never had anything quite that bad, but I won’t use Priceline ever again. We booked a hotel in Grand Rapids a while back (little work/mini vacation). Yeah, note to Priceline, Walker Avenue is NOT downtown […]
Following up on this post about free PDFs of graph paper, I emailed the site’s owner, Kevin MacLeod, asking after a generator for Cornell note paper. He responded with another excellent graph paper generator. Thanks Kevin! Be sure to donate to Kevin as he recently got Boing Boing’d and could probably use help with the […]
Thanks to (once again), David Galbraith for the tip to this article. A large tranche of the once-secular liberal left has disqualified itself by making excuses for jihad and treating Osama bin Laden as if he were advocating liberation theology. The need of the hour is for some senior members of the party of Lincoln […]
Ladies and gentlemen, start your State-endorsed fundraising! Believe it or not, tomorrow, May 20, is NASCAR Day in the State of Michigan. Wear your Little E jackets and call someone on your Nextel phone “to recognize the contributions the NASCAR organization has made to better the lives of children around the country.”
Damn this state. No, you know what, damn this whole bloody mess. I officially give up. Backtrack. The Michigan Court of Appeals (which I believe is in Grand Rapids, since this ruling references Calder Plaza) ruled today that, well, read this: The Michigan Court of Appeals has declared that nudity on television, even during the […]
Anderson Cooper‘s mother is Gloria Vanderbilt. He was also photographed by Diane Arbus.
When CNN et al read blogs on the air, they’re jumping on the bandwagon, airing the thoughts of people who took more time then did the news channels to make thoughtful posts about newsworthy topics. (See the much lauded Daily Show segment, thanks to Lisa Rein.) But, when Adam Curry does the same thing with […]
Finally! This was one of the stupiest (and dirty) laws Michigan had with regard to liquor sales. You can now order wine from anywhere in the country and have it shipped to Michigan. The supporters are using the “for the children” defense, which is total crap considering that the state is pretty interested in the […]
