If you are a baseball fan like I am, then you know that today was the trading deadline for major league baseball teams. Not a big deal to the non or casual baseball fan, but almost a holiday for those of us who dwell in the temple of baseball. Of particular interest to [...]
Thanks to Clicked, I found the blog of a cartoonist, musician Mazen Kerban. The blog is called Kerblog. I understand that there are probably bloggers and cartoonists who tell a similiar story from the Israeli side. Kerban’s cartoons give us a perspective we don’t get to see very often.
The cartoon to the left is [...]
here’s a cute one!
or, how about this one!
It’s a joke..you can make your own fun church sign here!

Since our last comedy outburst that helped push book sells..damn, those 9/11 widow bashing jokes only take you so far, Ann has topped herself by claiming that Bill Clinton is gay. That’s quite a kneeslapper. I was wanting more yuks from Ms. Coulter than just the Clinton haha, so I found this interview in the [...]
MILAN, Italy, June 29 (UPI) — Italian scientists say the stem cells they extracted from “virgin birth” embryos are capable of turning into neurons.
Read all about it.
Okay, John, you’ve made a liar out of me. I said that I had written my last word about the issue, but that was then; this is now. I appreciated the Jonathan Alter quotes you posted below. He’s fair and balanced enough to include some valid criticism of the pro- side and he generally avoids [...]
An Iraqi blogger named Fayed started his blog a few months ago because he was tired of hearing all the negative things about the war and wanted to, as the song goes, accentuate the positive. The name of his blog is Healing Iraq.
Fayed has since emigrated to Jordan (along with 500,000 other Iraqis). Why [...]
This Washington Times story quotes a Harris Poll finding:
Half of Americans now say Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded the country in 2003 — up from 36 percent last year…
It should be noted that:
Respondents were questioned in early July after the release of a Defense Department intelligence report that revealed [...]
Our zany Metro Council is back at it…You may recall they took a bunch of money out of the Metro Action Commission Budget and split it up amongst all the councilman so that they could theoretically direct the funds to ‘good things’ in their own district.
According to today’s SBJ aka Tennessean, money that was stolen [...]
A Houston outfit called Space Services offering a ‘product’ for people who have more $$$ than brains, will blast your ashes into the great beyond on their own privately launched rockets. Their latest ploy for publicity should appeal to the pointy eared-Vulcan-logical-trekkie-geek crowd.
They plan to launch the remains of James Doohan (known to most as [...]
Jonathan Alter, Newsweek columnist, wrote his ‘Between the Lines‘ this week about President Bush’s veto of the embryonic stem cell bill. I’ve written quite a bit about this issue along with my sister who takes an opposing point of view. She says that we need to respect the point of view that using the stem [...]
The Mit-Blop assembled yesterday at one of my sacred spots (Mothership BBQ) bringing the rolling blog revue to Berry Hill, away from the usual grounds of Espresso Joe’s way out I-24 (if it’s out of the I-440 loop, it’s in my ‘other america’). Lotsa people took lotsa pictures (you can photo-shop me out if you [...]
If you are my mother or master of your domain, you probably don’t wanna click this..

Actual conversation last night while waiting for the play to start:
John H wife: saying nothing while eyes glazed over due to illness based on John H’s incessant talking about blogs
John H: (spies a young woman to his right with an IPOD on her lap..
John H: Do you know Vali (play director) or anyone in [...]
The burgeoning Albertini for governor’s campaign took a big hit this last week, when the morally upright candidate was arrested for public intoxication. He is considering dropping out of the race, according to today’s Tennessean.
My favorite part of the article (along with the fact that he was handing out literature at an intersection with a [...]
Tonight we got to see a play directed by a dear friend of mine, Vali Forrister. This is a play you may have read about on Aunt B’s blog. Aunt B actually wrote a good bit of the play including the transcendent ending..an ending that not only worked, it was as good as [...]
Margaret here - I like to do a little video editing from time to time – home movies or travelogues or slide shows for special occasions at church, etc. I’ve been using Pinnacle Studio 9 software and have grown accustomed to its interface. Unfortunately it is one of the buggiest pieces of software [...]
Today’s Southern Baptist Journal, aka, The Tennessean features a front page story that, yea verily, affects my neighborhood. Seems there is a sludge backlog at the waste water treatment plant which is located about three sludge pellet throws from Salemtown. In case you didn’t know, our treated ‘waste’ is hauled off in trucks and dumped [...]
Blogger candidate Bob Krumm (running for the state senate 21st district) has admirably (and I’m not joking with that adverb) posted his answers, along with the questionnaires sent to him by various special interest groups such as the NRA (sample question: if my kid had an automatic weapon and he used it to strafe [...]
Now that the Prez has vetoed government funding for embryonic stem cell research, I think that opponents of embryonic stem cell research should band together and bum rush fertilization clinics and rescue those embryos before they are discarded. I’m not sure what they are going to do with the embryos, but since they [...]
