Tuesday Quick Hits

For extra credit, who can name for me Cheech and Chong's seven movies [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheech_and_Chong#Filmography]? > Oaksterdam University prepares people for jobs in California's thriving medical marijuana industry. For $200 and the cost of two required textbooks, students learn

Monday Moaning

I've come down with the stomach flu. It's not nearly as bad as the bronchitis/flu/plague thing I had earlier this month (thank goodness), but highly unpleasant: Playing both ends of the court, mild headache, chills. I'm the seventh person in my house

I linked yesterday to the Florida pastor's 30-day conjugal challenge. Interestingly, the pastor is recommending Dawn Eden's Thrill of the Chaste for singles. Dawn has the details here [http://www.dawneden.com/2008/02/30-day-sex-challenge-church-gets-thrill.html].

The Wednesday Eudemon

The lunar eclipse tonight is going to be a good one (assuming cloud coverage isn't a problem). David Warren has details and a history [http://archives.zinester.com/14807/153237.html]. __________ My most-recent blogging column is at The Register [http://ncregister.com/site/article/8060].

Angry White Men

One of the best op-eds of the year so far [http://www.aspentimes.com/article/2008198091324]: > He's a man's man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a few bucks at
