I was reading about the opening day of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial today. Now....I'm no lawyer, but is telling a "Knock Knock" joke in your opening statement when your client is charged with 2nd degree murder a good idea? With a lawyer like that, methinks it's time to prep O...

Ontario's provincial sphincter is a lot looser than it used to be, but the government still has a monopoly on wine and liquor sales and (along with Molson and Labatts) on retail beer operations. Not a big deal for me as I live in close proximity to a couple good liquor stores, but no beer at the cor...

Watched Robot and Frank and it's a really well made little movie that is surprisingly touching in the end.

Joe Klein from Time wrote an article about the tornado relief and veterans and included this non-sequitur and blatant lie for some unknown reason... … there was an occupying army of relief workers, led by local first responders, exhausted but still humping it a week after the storm, church groups f...

Kind of like a "10 Favorite Album List" which in my case is about 56 albums long... Some good books mentioned already, the Krakauer one is incredible. I'll put 1984 on the list because it still chills to this day. What Is The What despite its terrible title is perhaps the most memorable bo...

I won't reiterate the why but I despise pedos about as much as it is possible to despise pedos. Having said that . . . This is pure planted damage control. "Look at the good we are doing!" Apparently, Homeland Security and Dateline NBC's "To Catch A Predator" are now indistingui...

My son is 16 and my daughter is 14. Between them, we have had to purchase seven sets of grad photos.

Hey Coach, remember when you had two healthy young pro bowl Tight Ends?

This gets covered a LOT differently if its a Bengals player involved. You think? How so? The NFL equivalent of the NCAA's "lack of institutional control" Makes sense - will agree with that. happily, this bodes ill for the Pats season. Welker gone, Gronk on the shelf and Hernandez maybe on...

Also, LeBron is good at basketball.

A really good game.

While there will still be radio honks deriding LeBron for God knows what, his 4th quarter performance was one for the ages.

We're having one today, too. I wrote "NO EARLY BIRDS" on the cl posting. Neighbour two doors down is moving, so a few weeks ago he held a contents sale on a Saturday. Unfortunately, my dog needed to use the lawn at 6:45 that morning which is why I saw about two dozen people lined up to ge...

I think the majority of people in defense agencies don't work directly for the government. My agency is about 85% contractors, 5% military, and 10% government employees. Does this not create a potential conflict of interest? (Speaking theoretically - no disrespect intended) In that article in the T...

It's a good thing our law enforcement is above any abuse that could result from implementing this. I mean, they'd never use this during a large protest or anything would they? http://consumerist.com/2013/06/13/law-enforcement-officials-from-around-the-country-ask-smartphone-manufacturers-to-install...

HBO Boxing After Dark last night...

Great footage of Garcia puking in an elevator. But more relevant was the fact that Juan Manuel Lopez has gone from being an undefeated potential superstar to a completely shot fighter within three years. He was pathetic last night.

So this Snowden fellow wasn't directly employed by the US Government - he worked for a contractor.

Watched two movies today for father's day. Finding Nemo with my daughter (best Father's Day movie) and loved it for the 3rd time. Searching For Sugar Man a very rare example of a film that was so much better than its hype. Everyone from students of mine to my buddy who runs a documentary film festiv...

Good - especially the section on the Tar Sands.

Caught up as of last night. Spent about an hour before falling asleep thinking about what must have been going through Hank's mind as he sat on the toilet. He must be tormented beyond belief - there are at least a dozen things that Walt did that could have got Hank or his men killed. The question is...

I spent two and a half weeks in Spain last month and there's a similar situation going on there. 27% unemployment, and 15% of others on the government payroll (this stat is according to friends of mine who are living in Spain - in Spain, even Pharmacists are paid by the government). Obviously, thing...

Finally saw The Master last night and it really should have been called The Actors , because that's what I took away from it - the two leads are great actors. Unfortunately, they act, and they act and they act. The film starts out brilliantly, but soon becomes a series of lengthy scenes featuring gr...

Big issue - is it being done with a laser or does your doctor do it old school? Mine was definitely old school - they did the shaving. I drove home which was a big mistake. Things start to swell pretty quickly and once the anesthetic wears off, it is pretty tender. It was a very uncomfortable drive,...

I think there are many atheists who - in light of Mr. Beck's affliction - are rethinking their lack of belief in a higher power.

Love the J-Roc montage. Trailer Park Boys is a great show. Speaking of Filipino Midget Action Heroes, there is only one.

The Guardian has updates on the stadiums going up in Brazil. Note that in a few cities, there will be 45,000+ stadiums that cost hundreds of millions of dollars that after the World Cup will be used by teams that draw as few as 47 fans per game. What is the Portuguese phrase for "White Elephant...

Not a Tebow fan and I hate the Patriots, but something tells me that the Pats brain trust already has a well-devised scheme as to how they are going to use Tebow.
