The two animations below are from the same writer and give the pros and cons of Apple’s iPhone 4 and Sprint’s HTC Evo. The first one was linked last week at The Atlantic and I found the second one when I was browsing on YouTube. I advise against eating or drinking while you watch either …

Is it just me, or does the “-ism” salesman remind you of anyone? H/T: National Juggernaut.
Earn it — do not say 'liberty' and 'all' until DADT is repealed AND gays have equality
The music in the video above is from Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony and is based on the gospel hymn, “Goin’ Home.” I am in the Bel Air Community Band and this is the music we play over and over during the “laying of the wreaths” ceremony for the fallen members of each military branch on …
Elina Garanca sings 'Chanson Boheme,' 'The Gypsy Song,' from 'Carmen'
Slow version: Fast version: As I noted in an earlier post, mezzo soprano Elina Garanca sang Carmen in the Metropolitan Opera’s January 2010 production of Georges Bizet’s Carmen, which I saw in May on PBS. I love the intelligence, humor and playfulness that Ms. Garanca brings to Carmen, that her Carmen is a woman of …

Elina Garanca as Carmen unites heaven and earth
Mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca as Carmen sings the “Habanera.” On Sunday (May 16, 2010) I happened on PBS’s series, “Great Performances at the Met,” featuring the January 2010 production of Georges Bizet’s Carmen. I haven’t seen many productions of Carmen, but I have the feeling that this is one of the best of all time because …

Then tonight I was looking for a few laughs before bed and after perusing LOLCats it popped into my mind to visit Cracked.com, where I came across a …

UPDATED: Dale Peterson for Alabama Agricultural Commissioner — and best campaign ad of 2010!
I picked this up from Allahpundit at Hot Air and don’t have any political insight to add, except that I LOVE THIS GUY!!! Oh, and for the city slickers: Peterson has the rifle because a lot of farming consists of shooting varmints that are eating your crops. Also, on the general subject of farming and …
Gay Christian singing duo Jason and deMarco: 'We're All Angels'
On Saturday evening I caught the last half hour of a two-hour documentary called “We’re All Angels” on Logo. (It will be repeated at 10 am on May 11.) It’s about the singing duo Jason Warner and deMarco DeCiccio who perform as Jason and deMarco. They are Christian, openly gay and a couple — they …

Everyone is beautiful, including Gabourey Sidibe
Fat is a feminist issue. If you don’t understand that, you can’t call yourself a feminist. Because I say so. Yes, I do so, too, have that power. I love it that People Magazine included Gabourey Sidibe in its list of the “100 Most Beautiful People of 2010.” I don’t believe they are holding her …
