Two unrelated news items that seem to belong together

First, Dennis Miller completes his transformation into a frothing neocon by joining the gang at Fox News: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ent_radio/story/91575p-83233c.html I used to like him, but he's been veering sharply to the right over the past few years, finally bottoming out with his...

It's got potential -- depending on how you pronounce "UDII," it even sounds sorta dirty.

Hmmmm. So would that make the official forum motto "Kiss my grits!"?

Sounds like a Fletcher voter. Can we count on you this fall? If you don't want to worry about your Governor having sex, then Fletcher's your man! Er, well, I mean.... I wonder if Patton could make some bucks pitching Viagra after leaving office. "You may have heard about my four-hour motel stays wi...

But isn't sex with an intern (and *lying* about it!!!) *FAR* worse than, say, sending a country to war using false pretenses? I mean, HE LIED! DON'T YOU GET IT PEOPLE??? Damn straight. (Pun intended.) I, for one, am relieved as all hell that Bush has, as promised, restored honor and integrity to th...

Interesting. People I know who experienced the era as young adults almost invariably finger 1973 (give or take a year) as "the end of the sixties," which for them started after Kennedy's assassination and the British Invasion. (Still a decade, just shifted a little.) I agree with Grant that white --...

Here's another angle into this: Seems to me the reason obscure soul titles, as well as less mainstream work in any genre, aren't found at the local Best Buy is that Best Buy is uninterested in devoting shelf space to them. Mail order companies don't want to deal with the extra SKUs and slow-moving i...

Ryan, you may borrow my DCC "Lightning," but you must clean it before returning it. I could make a gross, horrible joke about possible new audiophile "tweak" applications to CDs, but I'm much more dignified than that. Think I'll pass on "Lightning" (unless popular demand demands), but it would be c...

While I applaud the attempt to tone down the rhetoric (and agree that Bush's immediate post-9/11 rhetoric was impressively muted in this area), inevitably not everyone will get the offered clue, as evidenced by the below. (DISCLAIMER: As the "web guy" at my office, I often end up getting all kinds o...

"Day The Earth Stood Still" is soooo good. I've been meaning to pick up the new DVD of that for a while now. "Forbidden Planet" -- the best Star Trek episode ever, almost ten years before Star Trek even existed. :) Haven't seen "Invader from Mars," though. The Pal stuff is good, too. I find they hol...

I'm into the recent Christopher Guest movies at the moment. I saw "A Mighty Wind" recently and greatly enjoyed it -- "Waiting For Guffman" and "Best In Show" are on deck awaiting some free time. Just saw "Finding Nemo" this past weekend. It's another fun Pixar movie. I greatly enjoy their style. I h...
