Pam's House Blend has an interesting theory of the evolution of John Edwards' thinking about full marriage equality.

It would bum me out if my old high school was sinking...

Here's your chance to weigh in on the World Album Covers Ever!

Hey Mark and Dean, check it out, now you know!

Will the Loonie soon be worth the same as the U.S. dollar?

Yes, PBS and the Tavis Smiley show need to answer the question: who decided to hire Frank Luntz to provide post-forum analysis of the Democratic presidential candidates.

41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. This is one of the most disturbing stats you can find about this country, because it's evidence of willful ignorance on current events most impacting our country. It's irresponsible for that 41% to expect the other 59% to carry them in the practice of civil discourse and social discussion, and it's immoral for them to think they should be part of the debate. If they want to be part of the discussion of the future of this country, they owe the country a much, much better grip on reality than that.

Freakin' Chinese tires.

So when will the game show "Are You Smarter Than Bill O'Reilly" happen?

Melanie at Just a Bump in the Beltway saw fit to include me in a little blog tag meme. And I thought she liked me...

1. All right, here are the rules. 2. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 3. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 4. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 5. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So, here's 8 true things about me, although I can't say they're truly interesting.

I am a true baseball geek. Yeah, I play in a fantasy tabletop baseball league, and what's more, it's based on historical performances of all players for all seasons. I started playing in 1924 (the season, not the year) and we play about three shortened seasons a year. Currently we're playing 1966. There is no possible way of describing this to make it sound cool to a non-baseball geek.

My fashion goal is to stay within a 34-inch waist pants.

I like to melt my ice cream from the freezer for about 8 seconds in the microwave before eating it.

If I was forced to go back 25 years ago and re-select my study for college, I would choose entomology.

I go to a coffee shop almost every day as part of my routine.

I lived in California for 20 years. I do not miss living in California in the least.

Someday I want to take our kids to the Pantanal region of Brazil and spend some time on a butterfly tour.

I'd fly to England to hear Kate Bush in concert.

Okay, now I get to the fun part - tagging 8 bloggers. Here goes:

Uncle Horn Head
Toad in the Hole
Ellroon
Motherlode
Lab Kat
Michael at Content
A Big Fat Slob
The Crone Speaks

Enjoy!

I just had to use that term since it's so widely hated by the non-blogosphere. Why can't they make a list of the most hated words used to describe dunderheads? Maybe non-blogosphere would make it...

Hey, you Australian aborigines, no booze and no porn for you! But it's for your own good, Howard swears.

Worm Watch 2007!!!!!

I see a new movie from the producers of Snakes on a Plane: I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours!

This was foreseeable, and Democrats should try to force Lieberman's hand in every election in the country. C'mon, Joe, support ALL the Republicans openly, not just in private.

Blogs, federal style.

Sure seems like a lot of turnover on that AFI list of the 100 Greatest Movies of the 20th Century in just 10 years.

Mimus Pauly gets more response on his questions of the day than I do. Must be my questions.

I wonder where she is now...

Time to try this again. I last did it in April with Skippy's blogroll, but today I'm using Poverty Barn's:

Below are a list of blogs that I would appreciate being blogrolled from, and that I think the content here is appropriate to be blogrolled from on a regular basis. And I'd provide a link back, obviously. I'm mostly curious as to whether anyone will salute such an approach - you know, blog barter diplomacy.

It has worked rather well so far. Cheers!

Yes, LeBron seems to be worthy of a superstar to root for...

While we're talking about sports, it does seem that the kerfuffle about the London 2012 Olympic logo is much ado about nothing...

Dear Canada: Stay Canada.

It is the sad truth.

No, it is not rational to keep moving people into Southern California, and hasn't been for a long, long time.

At this pace, this post will move from satire to front page headline in Pennsylvania in the near future.

You're probably richer than you think.

The first Star Wars was the best, and after that, it went steadily downhill. I know I may be in the minority in that opinion, but so be it.

We're 96th! We're 96th!

I thought that the broadcast of the National Spelling Bee was great. More of this, please, and less "Are You Smarter Than a 5th-Grader"...

I used to cover the California State Legislature in the early 1980s, and the legislator that I disliked the most - by a huge margin - was John Doolittle. No sense of humor, obnoxious, holier-than-thou attitude, with stupid legislative ideas and a preference to break things into partisan attacks rather than trying to work together to solve problems. I'm sure his wipe-ish-ness is coming back to haunt him.

I've seen lots of "desert island" lists, but this is the first one I've seen for sex toys.

The new food pyramid!

We're no longer an agrarian planet. I'm sure you suspected that, but it's official.

Susie's about to reach that benchmark for blog readership. Help her throw a blogparty!
