To make you never, ever, ever eat a falafel again. Eschaton is only the vessel.

Mission accomplished.

That sucks. Another Seventies icon gone. You can find a ton of videos documenting his Tomorrow Show interview exploits on YouTube. Here's one I like. Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the tubes...

Bear Grylls can.

According to Deborah Howell, if the public will read about it, it's worthy putting in the Washington Post. Or something. Her logic, as usual, is absent, but her excuse-making is in full view.

This article seems about right to me. The adults talk about her. The kids - not so much. Take it from the father of a 5th-grader-to-be girl, she does like talking about Orlando Bloom.

But maybe, just maybe, local television news stations might reconsider their investment in car chases over other types of news information.

I know it's not at the value level of the Washington Post or CBS, but I have to say, there must be a collection of some of the most shallow bots in the world determining the headlines that are run on the Yahoo! front page. TWO COREYS??!?! That wasn't even headline-worthy in the 1980s, unless your reading ability was limited to five-letter words back then.

Egads. Who would read this?

Really, really bad vibes about the quality of the Disney-release of Underdog. This was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, it'll be a shame if this is as bad as the trailers suggest.

From the good old days...

There's been something eating at me since the airplane accident yesterday in Sanford, Florida. The news was out pretty quickly that there were five people dead, but that news was dominated by the fact there was the husband of a VIP killed. In fact, his name and the name of the pilot were the only ones available in general news yesterday, other than his VIP wife.

Now, I realize there's a lot of reasons why some names were known by news media and some names not known - or why some names were releasable and some were not. And this is truly a tragedy for all. But by focusing on the husband of a NASCAR official while not naming three other killed victims seems to ignore the most painful tragedy of the story.

And that's the sudden flaming death that comes randomly crashing into a haven of safety that parents have built for their kids in their home. This shouldn't be a story dominated by any sense of celebrity, it should be dominated by the sheer tragic luck of parents and children that unfortunately not only lived in those houses, but were home on a summer day.

That's the story that cries out to me. I'm not asking the news media to exploit it - but they should find a way to temper their coverage to recognize it. I don't feel they did.

Ann Coulter, or whoever makes her phone list purchasing decisions, ought to fire whoever they are using and find someone who can reliably give her phone numbers of conservatives.

We know it now. We should be laying the groundwork as to why this is is expected NOW so it's not a story for the symbiotic dipshit media then. It shouldn't be much of a story - certainly there should be no surprise angle to it - because it is so obvious already.

Lieberman was not elected to Congress in 2006 as a Democrat. This must be repeated, repeated, repeated. Lieberman is not a Democrat. He is not a Democrat. Democrat is not what Lieberman is. Lieberman no es un demócrata. Lieberman n'est pas un démocrate. Lieberman ist nicht ein Demokrat.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.
