Palm Centro Commercial

Has anyone noticed that the guy in the new Palm Centro commercial changes accents during the course of said commercial? The next time you see it, take a listen, and you’ll notice it. They guy starts out with what I would classify as an Eastern European accent, and when he gets to the line about, ...

The Height of Irony

The news today of Chris Benoit’s death is the ultimate example of irony.I don’t mean to belittle his death, or the death of his family, but I hope to point out the disgusting lows that Vince McMahon and the WWE have stooped to lately.I don’t follow wrestling that much anymore, but there was recently a ...

Connected…and Not

There are so many tools that allow us to be connected to the rest of the world in a mere instant, and yet we sometimes lose the connection to our local world, which is most likely the more important of the two. RSS (that’s short for Really Simple Syndication) is a “tool” that allows you ...

This is Absurd

It seems I can’t stay away from the topic of the shootings at Virginia Tech. This is absurd. Cho did not die like Jesus Christ. His death in no way, shape, or form conceivable even closely mirrors the death of Christ. Jesus’ death came as a payment for the sins of mankind. Cho’s death was ...

Tragedy at Virginia Tech 1

Yesterday a horrible tragedy took place on the campus of Virginia Tech, when a 23-year old senior English major brutally killed 32 people. It’s still a little bit shocking and overwhelming at the moment. It’s been a lot to take in in a short amount of time. I just keep thinking, “why would someone do ...

Thoughts on Don Imus

I’ve wanted to post on the whole Don Imus situation for a while now, but I wanted to wait until I was able to put my thoughts together in a coherent fashion. This is that attempt. Let me start out by saying that I think what Don Imus said was totally inappropriate and he most ...

Don’t be Rude

I learned this afternoon how incredibly important it is not to be rude. I know, I know, pretty common sense, but I had some first-hand experiences today that led me to believe that it’s not quite as common sense to some people. My friends were catering a wedding where my wife was the photographer. I ...

Those Crazy Christian Gunmen 1

A school in New Jersey recently staged a hostage situation to see how their school would handle the situation and work with local authorities. However, they made an interesting choice for the gunmen in the scenario. Apparently, the school wanted the drill to be as realistic as possible, so they chose Christian gunmen, including, “one ...

Save Baby Knut!

I ran across an interesting story about a polar bear named Knut over the last couple of days. One animal rights activist’s suggestion of how the bear should be taken care of shocked me. Over at Reuters, they have more information regarding Knut, a baby polar bear whose mother abandoned him at the Berlin Zoo. ...

Why Doesn’t This Surprise Me?

I read a quote attributed to James Cromwell. I looked up the original source, just to make sure it was true, but it doesn’t really surprise me that much. The quote goes thusly: I can’t handle living in the United States of America when I know the last two elections were rigged, and that we ...
