THE SUPREME COURT IS...

ALWAYS BUSY THIS TIME OF YEAR









Operation: Cross Country had made a dent in 21st century slavery in the US. Thats what child prostitution is.

There is something just so right about this. And only San Francisco could do it.



T-Mobile is offering home phone service for $10 a month. That doesn't include the cost of the broadband internet connection you would also require. But it would use your cell phone.

Overheard aboard a British Airways flight from NYC to London:

Flight attendant on PA:

We'd like to remind you that this is a non-smoking service to London, but passengers are permitted to smoke outside the cabin at any point during the flight.

Thanks for the time you spend with me. I hope you found it entertaining and/or educational. Hope to see you again soon. I'll have more later.

"LIVE" FROM SCOTLAND

Strachur plays host to the new sport of swamp soccer:

Prisoners find a new way to obtain drugs and cell phones:

.And speaking of drug smuggling. Just file this one under the "Everything Old Is New Again" category.

You're a soon to be laid off airline pilot. Looking for work. Might be some openings in India.

It is extremely smoky here in the central valley of CA. Here are some webcams in my general area that show the conditions. Adjust for when it is daylight in my part of the world. UTC -8

ONLY 6 SHOPPING MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS

SORRY. DIDN'T MEAN TO ADD EXTRA STRESS TO YOUR LIFE

With just 6½ weeks until the start of the Olympics, China is tightening security around the various venues. But not really much more than was done in Greece 4 years ago.

These two young ladies from Salt Lake City are pissed. The high cost of gas has forced their mom to cancel cable-tv so she can afford fuel to commute to work.




AVM BBDO is a major ad agency in the UK. The alleged concept behind this Heinz ad was that the product tastes so good, "It's as if you have your own New York deli man in your kitchen."

It didn't get the reaction they were expecting and has been pulled by Heinz. As well might their £10m-a-year contract

Another DUI arrest on another unusual vehicle. This time out of North Pole AK.

Our suffering economy has far reaching consequences.

YOUR KNOW REPUBLICANS ARE IN TROUBLE...

WHEN THEY ALIGN WITH OBAMA IN THEIR CAMPAIGN ADS


Here is an article about it from (ahem) "Fair & Balanced" FoxNews.

I've said it before. The worst message that a Republican candidate can receive is one saying that Dubya wants to campaign for them. Talk about the kiss of death.


Where I am now residing is considered the "Bible Belt" of California. In fact, the City of Turlock, about 20 miles south, was the holder of the Guinness record for the most churches per capita. Also Modesto is the only school district in the entire nation that has a mandatory course on world religions. "Teach, don't preach" is the theme. A desire to make students aware that there is more to life than the conservative evangelical dogma they've been indoctinated with their entire life. A smart move. IMO.

Come Monday, the 30th, Windows XP operating system begins that long walk into oblivion.

Is Don Imus getting to be too much of a liability for radio networks? I think he should just move his show over to Sirius Satellite radio and then let the flushings of his brain continue without a problem.

It doesn't look as if Boy George will be able to make his scheduled concert appearances in the US. We won't grant him a visa. I wonder if he can get a MasterCard?

And yet another example of Dubya's people violating the laws of our country to achieve the control they desired.

I appreciate your visit. Hope you can return again. Check back later for more.

SHE IS ALIVE!

Melissa Plaut (a/k/a/ New York Hack) has finally made a post again. Just a brief missive to let us know she is still out there. And to promo the fact that her book is now available in paperback.

Finding a hand grenade is common in areas where there has been combat. But a new grenade, still in its original packaging, in the back yard of a suburban home in Canada is a bit more rare.

Cell phone going dead? Try dancing to recharge it.

Need a good laugh? Might want to contemplate a trip to England.

You've probably seen him. That guy who plays a guitar in Times Square, wearing only a cowboy hat, boots and his jockey shorts is a famous tourist attraction. Well M&M candy used a parody image of him in a commercial. I guess the didn't realize that his act is copyrighted and trademarked. And they didn't pay the licensing fee. Court proceeding are in progress.n

Former Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan, when asked if we are on the brink of a recession said the odds are better than 50% that we will be in one shortly.

COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU

More animation magic from Pixar & Disney. Bet GS #4 would like this. Hell, I would like this. Lets face it I am just a big kid.

WALL-E opens Friday.


All these new electric cars that will, most likely, become part of our future have one major flaw. You can't hear them coming. And, if you are vision impaired, that could be dangerous.

What type of monitor do you hav? Did you know that flat screen LCD monitors don't "burn in" like CRT monitors do. So you can dump that screen saver and save some energy. Think green

The more they look the more they learn about the Mayans.

Another LLDE entrant.

Police in Tampa FL arrested God for selling cocaine near a church. All snarky remarks would be appreciated in "comments".

REMEMBER WHEN HAVING A JOB...

IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY WAS "DA BOMB"?

There are now over 1 billion PCs in use worldwide and that is expected to double by 2014. I think I need to add more foreign language fonts to my browser.

Some George Carlin quotes:

I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.

At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom.

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.

I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it.

If we could just find out who's in charge, we could kill him.

Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did.

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

The status quo sucks.

And an intelligent article about those 7 words you can't say on television.


The faux Presidential seal the Obama sported over the weekend has been discontinued. But you can still see it if you scroll down or go back into the archives. At least for as long as the source I hyperlinked to keeps it online.

Ladies, keep this in mind if you are ever lost or stranded.

His Blood Alcohol measured 0.301% when he was arrested for operating a vehicle while under the influence, by Brisbane Australia police at 10AM. He was unconscious and his vehicle was unique.


Ever heard of "beta-amyloid"? Me neither but it may be a cause or major contributing factor for Alzheimer.

Glass. A solid or a liquid? Yes!

NBC-TV is going to offer the Olympics on the web for free. But it will only work if you have Vista.
