Another Triumphant Return

If I keep doing this, one day you’ll stop coming back.
Anyway, what could draw me back to the world of the blog so vehemently?
We’re not doing enough to protect our nation’s Wal*Marts, people.
From The Washington Post:

DALTON, Ga. — Jerry Nelson steered his grocery cart out of the Wal-Mart on a recent night, fuming […]

Videos Of Tackles

I’m really busy today but I have a few minutes of respite and thought I’d provide links to two sets of videos:
This is a piece in The Register describing how various nationalities saw the Zidane incident with accompanying video for each view.
Also, here at the office we were reminiscing about “Terrible” Terry Tate - […]

More Zinedinsanity

Good to know Zidane’s level-headedness is genetic.
From The Herald Sun:

According to the newspaper, Mrs. Zidane has defended her son’s actions, telling friends: “I am utterly disgusted by what I have heard. I praise my son for defending his family’s honour.
“No one should be subjected to such foul insults on or off the football pitch […]

We Is Smart

The NY Times has a piece about the National Asset Database, the list of potential terrorism targets in the United States, used by DHS to determine grant funds.

P.S. Indiana? People in […]

Gay Rights And French Wrongs

I was in Alexandria twice yesterday, once to pick up a car and once to play soccer with comedy guys - Matt, Steve, Rory, Ryan, Jeff, Kojo, Fred, and Lance. Those guys are in great shape. The game was a lot of fun. End of segment.
Zinedine Zidane is an idiot. (I am too because […]

A Return From The Brink

Well well well, I guess a few people do read this thing. I’ve gotten more complaints about not posting the last few days - I guess because reading about my life in a stress-free environment is preferable to talking to me face to face. Interestingly enough, when I don’t post, people feel a need to […]
