The wicked lunatics from Kansas are in the news again. They hate fags, and they're taking it out on families mourning the deaths of sons killed in combat [http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/03/12/060312122104.pgrezzqi.html]. Unbelievable. This is the second story, incidentally, that mentions

Monday Moanin' Eudemon

Ouch, forty is here. I went jogging yesterday for the first time in months, so that made the rude awakening that much worse: my legs were tender and ached. I also sat on a back massager at my brother's while watching the NCAA Selection Show, so my back

Misc. Leno

From last Friday night: > I read some sour grapes about the Oscars today. It seems a writer for "Brokeback Mountain” told the Los Angeles times that he thinks "Crash” only won because it was set in Los Angeles where academy voters live and can identify with it

Something for Sunday Morning

> To transform our saying prayers into a real education in prayer, they must be said in such a way that both heart and mind absorb their content. So that you may achieve this I will give you three simple instructions: > First, do not start praying without at least

I've Been Everywhere

I found the lyrics to pioneer rapper Hank Snow's I've Been Everywhere. If you haven't heard the song, the lyrics won't mean anything to you. If you have heard the song, you're probably grateful to see what he's

Historical Miniatures

The short stories behind 20 Muslim inventions [http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/article350594.ece]. Good stuff. I especially liked the story of soap. I guess the effects of the Battle of Tours [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tours] can still be smelled to this day:

How Long Will MS Keep Competitors at Bay?

All monopolies die, without euthanasia from the Sherman Act. It doesn't mean the monopolists die. Some do, but others just step back into the throes of competition. I don't know what'll happen to MS, but its hegemony will end: > Google sparked another battle
