Trip of a lifetimeI have been unable to post in the past several days because I have been getting things ready for my Trip of a Lifetime(tm). Tomorrow afternoon Ron and I will fly out to Los Angeles, California. We will spend the night at the Four Seasons Sheraton and on Friday we’ll board a plane towards Bangkok, Thailand (with a stop in Osaka, Japan.) I am very excited about the upcoming adventure. I will take a lot of pictures and I’ll share them on here. See you in about 10 days!
Silver liningMichael Moore said it best: “The official mourning period is over today and there is a silver lining: George W. Bush is prohibited by law from running again.” Satellites rule my worldToday I had a small fight with my cable company. I wanted to add Showtime so that we can watch the new Queer as Folk season. My cable company informed me that, unlike previously, I can no longer get Showtime without “upgrading” to Digital Cable. My cable company has the worst implementation of digital cable that you will ever find: So today I canceled my cable service after being a customer for close to 10 years. On Tuesday, the folks at Dish Network will come and hook up 3 bedrooms at no charge. I’ll receive 120 channels, plus all local channels, plus 10 showtime channels. All for the same cost as Digital Cable + Showtime on 1 TV. Thank you satellites. They rule my world. My car also has XM Radio, which uses 2 satellites to beam down over 100 channels of music and entertainment that I listen to while I drive. Finally, my car also has a GPS, which uses a satellite network to tell me where I’m at and where I need to go. Thank you satellites. I’d feel like I’m living in a 3rd would country if it weren’t because of you.
Who took my frog?Him name is hopking green frog. I’ll find my frog.
Electronic voting machinesAnd so it begins…. - Bush got 4000 more votes in one Ohio district than the total number of registered voters in the district [link] - A computer error involving one voting-machine cartridge gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in an Ohio precinct. [link] - Computer in North Carolina loses more than 4,500 votes. [link] Just remember: If You Want To Win An Election, Just Control The Voting Machines. Thankfully Bev Harris is on the case. And if you have 30 free minutes, watch this film. Thinking outside the boxThis picture made me laugh. Concession SpeechAdam Felber has a hilarious, and true, concession speech that I suggest you go read.
Invasion IowaDid you like Joe Schmo 1? Did you like Joe Schmo 2? I did! I loved both seasons. Unfortunately, due to Spike TV’s horrible marketing and programming department, Joe Schmo 2 flopped even though it was one of the better TV shows of the season, if not the best. This pretty much meant the death of the Joe Schmo saga, as much as it pains me to say it. The good news is that the same fine folks who brought us the Schmos, are bringing us Invasion Iowa, set to premiere shortly after the new year. It’s hard to explain what the show is about, but basically a fake Hollywood movie crew takes over a small town in Iowa. William Shatner’s birthplace actually. And of course William Shatner is part of the crew, together with other characters played by actors. Characters such as the hardball executive producer, the egocentric actress, and of course the “Bill Whisperer” who is William Shatner’s spiritual advisor and can calm Bill down just by whispering a few words in his ear. If Invasion Iowa is half as funny as the Joe Schmo series, it is going to be yet another hit.
It’s official
