Stephen Colbert exposes Siri’s bias

Friday, December 2, 2011

Monday I get my new iPhone 4s. I’m going back on my work plan, which I left because I couldn’t stand the Blackberry I was issued a few years ago, and I could get the iPhone relatively cheaply on a family plan. But now that Verizon has the iPhone, I can get one for free, […]

Rick Perry comes close to speaking

Friday, September 23, 2011

I know this is unfair to the girl from South Carolina, who after all is not running for president, but I couldn’t resist.

Wildlife in Noank

Sunday, June 5, 2011

This seems to be our year for spotting relatively unusual wildlife. This comes, no doubt, from butting up against about 600 undeveloped acres, most of which is a state park. Deer are a commonplace, and not worth remarking upon. Last week a coyote walked through our yard in broad daylight. Unfortunately he or she did […]

Friday Night Music, with lamentation

Friday, November 12, 2010

Several weeks ago I had a banner night free associating on youtube, and put a bunch of songs in reserve. I actually started with this one, which I sought out because I recently purchased the album, Manassas, and figured a cut from it would be a good choice. So here’s Steven Stills and the band […]

Try and Watch

Saturday, September 18, 2010

I must apologize for failing to put this on my normal Friday Night Music Video. The Peckinpaugh campaign actually put out a press release and encouraged people to watch it, but quickly took it down after people actually did. My wife watched it just before they took it down, and, among others perhaps, alerted CTBlogger, […]

The Smartest Man on Television

Saturday, March 20, 2010

Stephen Colbert leaves Mary Matalin speechless by simply telling her he’s going to keep score of every GOP talking point she uses: She literally can’t cope. It’s a bit strange, is it not, when the most incisive interviewers on television are alleged comedians?

What’s the poor farmer to do?

Friday, March 12, 2010

The New York Times reports that the price of seed is growing like corn in July: During the depths of the economic crisis last year, the prices for many goods held steady or even dropped. But on American farms, the picture was far different, as farmers watched the price they paid for seeds skyrocket. Corn […]

A few chuckles

Friday, March 5, 2010

I have not written much lately, for one reason or another. Drinking Liberally last night, just being lazy Wednesday, etc. My sloth is largely due to the fact that the news has been extremely depressing lately. Sure, Democratic stupidity makes an easy target, but after a while it wears thin, and what more can you […]
