Definately worth a rewatch.

Not The Daily Show, With Some Writer

Excuse me while I cry

|

Oh, my emotional state, sadness, depression, anger, disalusionment. My faith in the eternal goodness of man, that we are really great, is faltering. Seeing the popular vote leads me to one of two conclusions. The majority of voting Americans have either been dupped beyond there intelect or are comprised of some of the worst of humanity disguised in smiles. I am not sure which is worse. And I don't know which I fear worst or what I can do to change either.

Excuse me while I cry...

Way to go John Stewart

Oh the irony. John Stewart Bitchslaps Crossfire and ther retort, saying he softballed John Kerry. So now even the journalists are treating The Daily Show as a serious source of news. Do yourself a favor and get the show by BitTorrent or read the transcript.

On a related note I picked up America (The Book) which is turning into a real work of art. Totally styled like a school text book but probably more informative. And there is a forward from Thomas Jefferson,


P.S. Oh, and is it true Halle Berry is once again single? If so, I'd be forever in your debt if you would put in a good word for T.J. Oh how I loves the mochachina.

Oh, the humor and education in just a P.S.

6 of the 10 most emailed images from Yahoo are of Female Olympic Athlete's Butts. Seems that the Beach Volleyball is pretty popular amongst some this year!

Wishes for the New Year

|
Tis the season for retrospectives and wishes for the future. Wired's 101 Ways to Save the Internet is actually a pretty good list. Though a MP3 player with something more than a gig but less than the current iPod offering storage for $100 would be nice.

Country legend Cash dies
Cash died in hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, after complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure, his manager Lou Robin said.

...

He become as famous for his image as an outlaw figure, for playing in prisons and creating the myth of the Man in Black, his semi-official nickname.
The man will be misses but the music keep us moving on.

Modern Slavery

|
On first seeing the link I was expecting something about cubical life being slavery but this is the real thing.
There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach—and in the destruction of lives.

First World War.com site about the war to end all wars.

Time on the Worms

|
Time has a not bad article, Attack of the World Wide Worms, covering the current worm and virus situation. It does a good job explaining the technical bits and should make a good referal for the non-techies.

Fair and Balanced

|
Since Fox is neither fair nor balanced, the notion that these people could have won a trademark on the expression -- which they did -- is mostly testament to the continuing incompetence at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. But Fox's lawsuit is entirely testament to the arrogance of Murdoch's minions and the growing idiocy of the legal system.
...
I commend Fox for all the hard work in promoting its unfair, unbalanced entertainment (calling it "news" is a bit much). It certainly is drawing an audience, and as a shill for the Bush White House it's downright competent.
Way to go Dan Gillmor, on Fox sueing Al Frankin over his new book.

Weight Loss

|
slashdot brings up the weight loss card and the Stanford researchers review efficacy and safety of low-carbohydrate diets which hits the weight management on the head While these diets are effective in the short term, weight loss results from reduced calories, not carbohydrate restriction. Removing carbs is just one way to remove calories. The study was short term, 90 days or less. I would really like to see something long term on what is really a healthy diet for humans now that we live longer than a handful of decades.

One of the comments had a link to The 5BX Plan For Physical Fitness which was something the wrestling teamin highschool followed.
