Dustin Hoffman admits that he thinks about sex every seven seconds.

Hey Dustin, “We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files”, but that’s waaay too much info, buddy! 😛...

…one of the most renowned among you is “feeling blue” too. But he’s got some sage words of wisdom that’ll surely pick you right up!!

(P.S.: And Chad, as much as I’ve always rooted for Duke or N.C. State or whoever over UNC, I must say this with all sincerest conviction: despite this one loss it is a most wonderful thing to behold than I ever thought possible to see the Tar Heels back on top of their – and I mean THEIR – game again 🙂

(P.P.S.: Yeah I’ve come to respect Dean Smith more as the years go by too… but I still struggle over forgiving him for coming up with the “four corners play” :-P)...

It’s not “major league” news in most of the press right now: in fact it wouldn’t be surprising if you haven’t heard about this at all. But it’s gotten pretty big among a lot of bloggers so Lord only knows where this thing is gonna end up.

The Boston Globe broke the story last week that Jeff Gannon, a reporter with a website called TalonNews.com, was enjoying regular access to the White House press briefings and even getting to ask questions to President Bush despite the fact that he was NOT a credentialed journalist… and possibly had no experience or training in journalism prior to coming aboard TalonNews.com.

While a member of the press pool, Gannon became well-known for asking “soft” questions that could only be described as subjective and pro-Republican. Some of these wouldn’t even pass muster with a high school journalism teacher: “You’ve said you’re going ...

Officials fear baby acquired herpes during a Jewish circumcision, apparently after the attending rabbi drew its blood with his mouth.

Ummmmm…...

Were there any good commercials?...

After finding her remarkable credentials – which include Juris Doctorate and a Ph.D that she earned from her thesis on the genetics of cloning – I have to wonder: How can a woman so intelligent, and so gifted, and so sincere a Christian, and (if I dare say this being a married man) so beautiful, publish something that is sooooo tired and boring?

I refer to Dr. Kelly Hollowell, founder and head of Science Ministries and regular columnist for WorldNetDaily. She has a new piece today titled “The liberal elite’s stranglehold on America” and… well, hate to say it but just the title was a setup for disappointment. She’s written brilliant stuff before, but not today. And it needs to be said that on each of the three issues she brings up in this article, she and I do stand in agreement for the most part.

I believe that ...

University of California is considering tagging human cadavers with supermarket-type barcodes to keep track of them. It’s said to be a measure to combat the illegal sale of body parts.

Anyone else noticing how much the real world is starting to resemble what William Gibson depicted in his novel Neuromancer?

That’s… scary....

That line, spoken by Col. Mathieu (played by Jean Martin) is the one bit of blatant humor that I can remember a half-hour after finally getting to watch The Battle of Algiers.

I haven’t been this stunned by a movie since The Passion of the Christ came out last year.

No, I didn’t watch the State of the Union address by President Bush: he’s just going to waste more of our money that we don’t really have to begin with. And when was the last time that “the state of the union” was REALLY addressed by one of these speeches? It’s become a guaranteed spot of television time where whoever’s the current occupant of the Oval Office can suggest something, say anything and spend everything, and he’ll still hear nothing but applause from members of Congress. The President isn’t even required to make a State of the Union speech ...

Yeah, so I mentioned Star Trek: Enterprise getting canned in the last post.

But how often does a guy get to use that famous line and it actually mean something? 🙂...

Some others are weighing in about what was discussed here yesterday. The Refuse blog lays some serious smack down on Left Behind:

Left Behind™ is a media empire. But, more than that, it seems that the success of Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins is what epitomizes the desired goal of every publishing house and record label in the Christian ghetto. It’s a sign of the times in which we live, that cheap media to the masses in hopes of making a buck is competing with the command of John 21:17: “If you love me, feed my sheep.”

How else do you explain the lack of honesty in the number one hits of CCM? How else do you explain the poor quality fiction coming out of Christian publishing? Or the poor quality Christian movies? How else do you explain Christian t-shirts, bumper stickers, license plates outlines, and posters? How
