Interesting year-in-review article from the OJR here. For way too long, it has been the mainstream media (MSM) that’s played God with the American public, telling everyone what’s news and what’s not, what to play up and what to downplay. But 2004 was the year the power started shifting, that the Little People, if you will, started to tell the

This one should be fun to watch. As part of a lawsuit filed by Apple in Santa Clara County Superior Court on Dec. 13, the company obtained a court order allowing it to issue subpoenas to AppleInsider.com, PowerPage.org and Thinksecret.com. The three Web sites published or linked to information on what they said was a future Apple audio device that

Check the third bullet point, third sentence. This is getting closer to the essence of the world we now live in – a world that Bush’s policies are making less tenable, not more….

A bad weekend, yes it was. 1. The teams I was rooting for went 0-4 this weekend. Nothing really tragic here, though. The teams I really hate are already working on their golf games this year, and the only remaining team I had an interest in, the Broncos, got more or less what I expected them to get. Still, I

I’ve been waiting for this for a few years now, although I figured the guy to do it first would be Dennis Rodman.

Interesting. I’ve always tested as an ENFP, although I’ve always been really close on the F/T scale. The J here is perhaps an artifact of simply having to be more organized in my professional life.

Well, God Bless FOX for this, at least. If I were to accidentally see Mickey Rooney’s shriveled 163 year-old ass I might have to sue somebody. Of course, the way that last sentence is worded, it suggests that somebody might see Mickey Rooney’s ass intentionally, and that can’t be right, either….

Viewer sues “Fear Factor” CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) — A viewer is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending that he threw up because of a “Fear Factor” episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender. Austin Aitken told The Associated Press he watches “Fear Factor” often and had no problem with past installments where the reality show’s participants ate

This about sums it up. Jesus would also probably bitch about voter fraud in Ohio, huh?

Holy mother of Mergatroid. CNN has canceled “Crossfire.” CNN/U.S. President Jonathan Klein sided yesterday with comedian Jon Stewart, who used a “Crossfire” appearance last fall to rip the program as partisan hackery. “I think he made a good point about the noise level of these types of shows, which does nothing to illuminate the issues of the day,” Klein said

For some odd reason folks attempting to post replies to my blog entries have been faced with the challenge of composing those replies in black text on a black background (thanks to fikshun for his incessant bitching on the subject). I have no idea why this was happening – the site isn’t designed that way and it didn’t used to

So last night’s 55-19 thumping of Choklahoma eliminates all doubt, huh? Sez ESPN: “There will be no sharing No. 1 this year. USC made an outright statement in Tuesday night’s BCS title game…” (Story) Ummm, bullshit. What last night’s game proved was that USC is a whole lot better than OU. What it didn’t prove is how they stack up
