History Channel gets highest ratings ever with STAR WARS: THE LEGACY REVEALED
Check here for the stats from Mediaweek. Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed broadcasts again on the History Channel on June 3rd at 8 p.m. I got to see this when it first ran on Monday night and I thought it was easily one of the best Star Wars documentaries that I've seen (and I've seen plenty, believe you me...). Well worth checking o...
Only Bill Gates could sell a $10,000 coffee table
I will probably be buying one of these... ten years from now, at least! Microsoft's new Surface product does seem like a lot of fun though. Here's a video of Gates demonstrating it:Maybe as a complement for the Surface unit, Microsoft can create a Windows-based chair for Steve Ballmer to throw...
Fred Reed laments the "New Improved America"
Fred Reed - master of the blunt truth and art of curmudgeonry - is spot-on as usual with his latest analysis of what is amiss in this country...Something is wrong with the United States. I think most of us have noticed it. There is a mortal rot in the country, made manifest by many little rots that are hard to integrate mentally yet are, I think, somehow related. The change is grave, accelerating, probably irreversible, and fascinating. Things are...
Let there be... white?
This isn't the final look of the blog revamp. Or maybe it could be. What do you think? Feel free to comme...

Creation Museum, and why Creationism has become a corrupted belief
You might have heard about the Creation Museum that opened this week in Kentucky. It is a natural history museum that has made the Bible's account of a literal six-day creation the foundation of everything that is on exhibit.It seems to be a huge hit, because ever since it opened the Creation Museum has enjoyed capacity crowds. It's also attracted the usual gang of professional...
What's your theological worldview?
You scored as Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan, You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced...

Another SESAME STREET classic: "Subway!"
"You could lose your purseor you might lose something WORSEon the subway!"Before Curtis Sliwa arrived on the scene, no 'hood in New York City was safe... including Sesame Street, apparently.Another great skit with the Muppets from Sesame Street. One that will leave you wondering "how did ALL those muppeteers fit on that tiny stag...
You can't work unless Homeland Security approves you
My good friend Marc alerted me to this. Pay real close attention, boyz and goylz...Soon you will need approval from the Department of Homeland Security in order to hold a job.Do you understand what that means?First of all, these are the people who maintain - and constantly bungle - the "No Fly List". Now they are going to do the same thing with your work eligibility.But worse than that: this is something straight out of the Soviet Union. Hell,...
An idea for a new Fox reality show
How does this sound for a new show (I'm thinking Fox would be the best venue for it) in the style of American Idol and On The Lot: I call it Pardon Me!Pardon Me! will feature twelve contestants, all of them convicted felons on Death Row. Each week the inmates have to "file an appeal" which is critiqued by a panel of three judges, including one "celebrity judge" (I'm thinking O.J. Simpson and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme via satellite from prison in...
May 29, 2007: A tragic day for Star Wars fans
A few days ago we had the 30th anniversary of the release of Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope, even though it was a few years later when the subtitle was added). Last night the History Channel ran Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed, which is one of the best documentaries about Star Wars that I've ever seen. There's been a lot of jubilation this past week about our favorite...
Amnesty opponents don't know "what's right for America", Bush says
From the story... "Those determined to find fault with this bill will always be able to look at a narrow slice of it and find something they don't like," the president said. "If you want to kill the bill, if you don't want to do what's right for America, you can pick one little aspect out of it."You can use it to frighten people," Bush said. "Or you can show leadership and solve this problem once and for all."Once again, The Decider decrees that...

Rest in peace Charles Nelson Reilly
I heard this morning that Charles Nelson Reilly - Tony Award-winning performer and Match Game perpetual panelist - passed away this past Friday at the age of 76.I didn't know him from any of that. No, like a lot of us who "came of age" during the last decade, I know Charles Nelson Reilly mostly from his role as Jose Chung in the classic The X-Files episode "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'": easily among the most unique hours of Nineties television.A...

Government to sanction medical experiments without patient consent
Read the story at the Houston Chronicle site here.The first things that flashed in my mind when I read this story were Nazi "doctors" like Josef Mengele, and the Tuskegee Experiment (which was conducted by the American government, by the way).Someday "they" will go too far - if they haven't already - and the Man in Room Five is going to break free and come looking for them.(Props to anyone who will recognize that literary referenc...
