The Second Season Begins!
Frodo had an outstanding point in the mining post…IT’S PLAYOFF TIME! Time to lighten up, eat some chicken wings and bask in the glory of another Patriots championship run. Read More
The Mine Caved
I’m not concerned with the false sense of hope the miners’ families felt prior to learning that they were all dead, nor am I concerned with any other side issue or expose done up on what any of those miners left behind, what their last words to their wife were the morning of, or for how long their children cried once they knew daddy was never coming home. A coal mining company donated heavily to the Bush-Cheney campaign, saw a subsequent change in the regulatory strength of the government, and ignored safety issues raised by inspectors because they knew the operation wouldn’t be shut down. The company didn’t care about its workers then, and all the teary-eyed news reports in the world aren’t going to change their opinion now. This is business. Read More
Sirius Satelite Radio is Seriously Cool!!!
I was delighted to receive a Sirius Satelite radio and subscription on Christmas eve(is it still legal to say Christmas?) so I could hear the Indianapolis/Seattle game that could not be found anywhere on TV. Odd that the numbers 1 and 2 teams in the NFL, respectively, were playing such a critical game and it couldn’t be found anywhere, but I will get to that shortly. I didn’t get the best radio but it came with both the home and car base stations which is great but, as a subscriber, I can also stream from Sirius via Microsoft Monopoly Player…er…I mean, Media Player 9.

Hillarious moment during Florida St-Penn St
Mike Turico (announcer) goes on about how Piterno and Bowden (coaches) were born during the 1920s, and right after he finishes the ‘two faces on the mount rushmore of college football’ bit, Penn St’s kicker misses a field goal sending the game into second overtime. Bowden sees it and acts like the game is over. The policeman to his left had to inform him that the game wasn’t over yet.
Classic…
Abramoff Pleads Guilty
Expect a few more open seats come election time 2006. Harry Reid and Byron Dorgan are the only two Democrats on watch right now that I know of (Harkin possibly as well). On the other side of the asile it’s Blunt, Delay, Ney, Doolittle, Cornyn, Cochran, Cantor, Burns, Ensign, Feeley, Grassley, Hassert, Hayworth, Lott, Istook, Sessions, Vitter, Wicker…
Then you’ve also got the right-wing special interests and think tanks wraped up in this. Ralph Reed is the the person of note for me on this score, because he took money that came from gambling, hypocrite!
