Here is a photograph my grandfather took somewhere in Baltimore, MD in 1958

Awesome! Win just doesn't quite say enough.

If you think that the judge's sentence was a stupid move, the you have to admit that he has found a way to speak to the woman in her own language.

I remember that I knew the internet had potential when I started finding files like this........

Then there was the redneck hillbilly whose house blew away in a tornado, and his buddy says, "Shoot, no problem we can retrailer it for ya!"

If having standards is a good thing, then having double-standards should be even better... right?



A new entry into my favorite expressions!

Right after this from the January Jones eats her own placenta thread...
If you're not interested and think it's gross, file that away in the drawer marked "things I privately disapprove of" and mind your own business.

My first thought was, "Do I get to pick who I get the blowjob from?" Upon closer examination, I decided to keep my house...

Good call, turns out third from the right is the free blowjob department.

Super Star my ass!

That's probably exactly what she said!

If you believe in the nation in the song, then you believe in right to free speech.

That being said, it's really all about timing. The beginning of a sporting event is a time when people want a thoughtful attempt at a solid performance.

During an artist's own concert, or on their album, let the creativity go!

Good example - Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock - 1969

Love it - Hate it, but it was his part of the show, and not somebody's sporting event.

I'm surprised that sporting event coordinators don't make contractual arrangements about the exact nature of the performance (with penalties for deviation).

Fortune cookie wisdom - A patriot is one who gets a ticket and rejoices that the system works.

If you're not interested and think it's gross, file that away in the drawer marked "things I privately disapprove of" and mind your own business.

This applies to so many things or situations, and I think it's now one of my favorite quotes!

Should they be allowed to print their directories?

In the US the answer to that question is addressed in the first amendment. It is simply free speech.

Whether they are profitable or useful as an information source or as an advertising medium is the real determining factor. Though we may not realize it being "plugged in" constantly, there are still many people without internet access.

This Article says that in 2009 80% of people had computers and only 92% with computers had internet access. So roughly 26% of people had no internet access.

Ironically since advertising drives the production and value of phone books in the above article it states that, "Internet access is correlated with education level and a household’s combined annual income. As they increase, so does the likelihood of internet access."

That means that an advertiser is paying to be available to a diminishing group of people, with lower purchasing power. I suspect that the simple economics of the situation will sort this out in a relatively short period of time and phone books will go the way of the rotary phone, and the manual switchboard operator.

I could even imagine that the conclusion of this trend is a phone book with only Wal-mart listed.
