Washington and California are about to join only 3 other states in enacting tougher cell phone use laws.  Starting next week both states have outlawed the use of cell phones without a hands-free headset while driving.   In California, you can get pulled over simply for having the cell phone held up to your […]

They Said it on Late Night TV

David Letterman:   The Supreme Court "ruled individuals have the right to carry guns." But do not "think you can just go into a gun store and buy a gun. There is still a strict 15-minute waiting period."
Jimmy Kimmel:   "The latest Bloomberg poll shows" Barack Obama "has a 15-point lead over John McCain." Obama "leads […]

Product of the Day

Drinking bottled water is not just bad for the environment, but it’s a colossal waste of money.  We have known that for ages, what we are only now discovering are the long term effects of Bisphenol A, commonly abbreviated as BPA.  BPA is a common ingredient in Polycarbonate plastics and is used to […]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has come out against the energy policy of presidential candidate John McCain.  Criticizing the much ridiculed proposal to lift the ban on off-shore oil drilling, Arnold has made no secret of his disdain for the proposal - even with Florida Governor Charlie Crist, a supporter of the proposal within earshot.
Arnold […]

George Carlin - RIP

One of the greatest and most controversial American comedians died Sunday at a hospital in Santa Monica.  One of his routines, Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television, led to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation in which the Supreme Court agreed that the government had the right […]

In quite a few news articles the mass media is reporting news that really isn’t quite news.  It seems that Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have very different views on both national security and the recent Supreme Court decision that affirmed any prisoner of the US government has the right of Habeas […]

Free PC Software of the Day

I found this great, free application for PCs a little while ago.  It’s nothing earth shattering.  In fact it’s basically banal.  Until you need one of it’s cool features.  What is it you ask?
A Windows calculator!  But with two really cool features, the first is a virtual tape.  Much like an adding machine you can […]

As our Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, continues to insist, there is no reason to imagine that the sub-prime mortgage problems will result in the same level of global crisis that the Enron scandal did just seven years ago.  Mukasey has gone on record as saying that "…he did not feel the mortgage crisis […]

In a stunning move for the fight against the Cult Church of $cientology (Co$) one of their rank and file members has assaulted a peaceably protesting member of Anonymous.  I can only assume that the Christian value of ‘turn the other cheek’ has little or no value to a $cientologist.  (What am I saying, of […]

Craig Ferguson:   "John McCain revealed his energy plan today. He wants to […]
