Bring 'FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN' petitions and letters to your local Tea Parties
I just made the following comment over at HillBuzz’s post on the importance of persistence in dealing with corporations — in this case, the campaign to persuade CBS to fire David Letterman: What if we went to the Tea Parties with petitions calling for David Letterman to be fired and brought along pre-printed post cards …

Did Michael Jackson die of obstructive sleep apnea?
Because it takes six-to-eight weeks for toxicology reports to be completed, it may be that long before we have a definitive answer on the cause of Michael Jackson’s death. But there is one likely cause that I believe cannot be detected by autopsy: obstructive sleep apnea. And I think the combination of sedating drugs and …

I'm pretty sure the Venus of Hohle Fels is a dildo
I was skimming Instapundit when a link about the discovery of the most ancient musical instrument caught my eye. I play the bassoon, which is still pretty much a medieval instrument because its keywork needs a modern re-think. The bassoon is a descendent of the ancient double-reed instrument, the shawm. So I’m interested in ancient …

Yoo-hoo! Gay Democrats! Republicans now are the party of tolerance and equality and diversity — who'da thunk it?
It might seem counter-intuitive that I’m choosing today to announce to gay and lesbian Democrats that Republicans now have THE party of tolerance, equality and diversity. I am taking quite the shellacking over a piece of mine at Pajamas Media entitled, “My Blissful Gay Marriage.” Around noon or so, Eastern Time, it was dropping down …
What Letterman is doing is mobbing, not humor — today's action to FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN targets sponsor Johnson & Johnson
moar funny pictures David Letterman’s attacks on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her daughters on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on CBS on June 8 and 9, and his sham apologies on June 10 and June 15, are grounds for persuading CBS to fire him. He made degrading sexual remarks about Gov. Palin and …
Mr. Cellophane looks right through them and never knows their names
Mr. Cellophane is visible to the women in his league, who pine because he looks right through them. I had that thought quite awhile ago, but it came to mind again because I was listening to Samantha Who? in the kitchen just now while I was doing the dishes and actress Melissa McCarthy’s character, Dena, …

Oh, what a beautiful morning!
It was such a sparkling morning early this morning that I had my father sit on the porch to enjoy the view of the trees and clear blue sky. He is an expert birdwatcher and enjoyed seeing male and female cardinals fly back and forth across my heirloom tomato garden and perch on the deer …
