Shocked, shocked!

Not much is funnier than the New York Post editorial about Jason Giambi. They wrote that Giambi "disgraced the Yankee pinstripes and made a mockery of everything that is wonderful and good and pure about the game of baseball."

Good and pure? Baseball? That comment is so funny it writes its own jokes.

PAABAAH - Or something like that

COMEDY CENTRAL did a bit on the Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood (or something like that). A very funny bit. What is funnier is that Alvarez has posted this interview on his website, but he calls it a parody. Of him? Does he know he is the butt of the jokes? Oh, if you come from a site Pabaah doesn't like, you won't get in. Try clicking on a link from Salon. His site boots you back. I have never seen that technology. I wonder if it will take hold? Kind of a call screening for websites.

Check out the videos of the Sky Cutter 40. A flying lawnmower.

GT4 demo released

A playable demo has been released in a Japanese PS2 magazine!? I would expect a similiar demo to be available soon in the "Official Playstation Magazine" that is sold over here. Check out the gameplay videos on this IGN site.

For Honshui, Treasurer of the "Stephen Harper Rulez" Club

A wonderfully juvenile bit of humour from Jijab.com.

Maybe Spengler Was Right?

Was Ivan Spengler correct?

This is a trite article, but the point is clear. The Washington Post saw its Daily circulation hold fairly steady from 1999 through 2002, dropping from 775,005 subscribers to 767,843. Then in 2004 "it fell off the trucks. As of June 2004, the daily circulation tally had hit 721,100."

Do you still read the newspaper? I have given them up for free news online or on my Palm. I do miss having a paper to read on the couch on the weekend, but the ability to gather my own news, follow my own trends, and to be completely serendipitous is too much to give up. The downside is that I miss all the local news. Or is that a good thing?

And so passes a patriot and a populist.
